Aye, fair enough, I do agree. I just look at Farage and think no way will that repulsive lying gimp get enough votes to be a real problem no matter how bank rolled he is. But then I was wrong about Trump so fuck knows. I hear he is gaining popularity with the kids which is profoundly depressing.

What would the money be spent on? There's a cap of £55k spending on campaigning per constituency, which is £34 million in total. I'm not sure money plays as an important role in politics in the UK as it does in the states. Also think a stronger Farage will hurt the Tories more than Labour. But yes, if I were Starmer I'd make it illegal and close any loopholes.

Background on post match video. Scruffy bastards.

They still call SJP the "landfill" . Litternado

Am going on boxing day. Can't remember the last time we lost with me in attendance. Drawn a few mind.

Match ball for Isak.

Yeah, but as pointed out,we have MF. And tbd. And..... oh fuck.

Yeah, it will unless we take this place to the dark web. We're almost there anyway so.....

How dare every grumpy old cunt have the same idea as me!

That really is not bad value for an annual pass if you go every day. 30 cents a wank.

I saw that and thought it might be tbd's gaff. Then looked at the photos and had it confirmed. Talking of unfortunate online phots, this is funny.

Better than Liverpool.

Arsenal, and we're home second leg. Would have preferred Spurs but could have been worse.

That's no way to talk about the best prime minister of my lifetimeTM

Fucking hell, that's inflation.

We could easily be close to double figures here like, score line flatters them.

D'Oh!

They are. In my opinion they've done little wrong in all honesty. NI looks like a mistake in hindsight but I don't know what other options they have. The Tories left the country fucked and there's a hell of a lot of external headwinds too. And ultimately we're still heading for a demographic time bomb no party seems able to face.

Except PPI was claims against banks, not the government. I've got claims against Volkswagon too for similar reasons. I'm not going to feel bad about that, at the same time if I'm unsuccessful I won't be whinging like these WASPIs.

Labour never promised them anything. And yes, they're taking the piss. Give me 20 grand or whatever because we forgot to send you a letter explaining what was on the news. Boo fucking hoo.

They'll need to boycott it and travel from Leeds/Bradford I guess. It's still funny watching them get into a stew about fuck all.

"Ay, right then, let's just stick to the elfies ken?" Have to say the Selkirk family are the most scottish looking cunts ever. 👍

Watched the first one. Not entirely convinced by this, and your nod of approval has made me less so. Still, got the lovely Miss Knightley in it so will perservere. Really enjoyed Day of the Jackal. Really, really enjoyed how the writer handled the protagonists in the last episode. I'll say no more.

Yeah, of course. No person from Liverpool is ever critical of any aspect of the city. You know this from your extensive experience of meeting scousers. I mean, its not possible for me to disprove your frankly ludicrous experience but I can tell you it doesn't match mine at all. I've only ever lived in two city areas for any length of time, Newcastle and Liverpool, and what personally has always struck me is the similarities, not the differences. If we take popular culture and drama as an example we can at least objectively anchor to, what drama has ever painted Liverpool in a rosy light? From Boys to the Blackstuff to the Responder more recently, dramas written by Scousers set in Merseyside are normally pretty unrelentingly bleak, in much the same way NE ones often are. So on the one hand, they're accused of wallowing in self pity and on the other, according to you, they paint Liverpool as some type of Nirvana. Or could it be that the reality is, you've got your preconceived opinions and that is going to colour your perception regardless? That the reality is, they've had an immensely successful football club in living memory (well, two really) whilst we have been plucky losers, and maybe really, we wish the situations were reversed? I know I do.

Yeah, Yorkshire also has a really strong identity, especially Leeds. Don't really come into the football equation though.
