Didn't see Brillo pad v Jezza but it would appear that almost unbelievably the Guardian are warming to Corbyn.... https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/26/jeremy-corbyn-takes-security-risk-and-confounds-critics?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other recent history suggests that polls in the run up to elections are pretty useless but taking the latest figures at face value it seems to me that possibly we're heading for a hung parliament, which is the diametric opposite of what May called the election for hes been impressive tbh, because he's honest and doesn't answer in PR sound bites or Sun headlines. Big risk pointing out the link between terrorism and foreign intervention this week, think he's trying to point out to the less well informed among us " look folks we're really not like THAT Labour Party you all remember" .

Sweden wasn't under attack before US/UK went into Iraq. The whole world has become less safe. Huge events radicalise young Moslems and obviously the foreign policy of the early/mid 00s was complelty dictated by 9/11. The thing is going into Afghanistan to wipe out bin laden was probably justifiable. Going into Iraq on a blatant and obvious lie (millions marched against it, but what did they know?) is something that can't be blamed on a twisted ideology. That action created Isis. Locking jihadists and senior bathist military officers up in the same prison whilst nicking a sovereign state's oil, after deposing the man who kept a lid on things for 40 years is something that should be pointed out to the British public as a mistake iyam.

I've got that on 10" vinyl to quote the record sleeve itself: "music for mad lifted beat junkies"

Ajax looked young and played appropriately naively. Manu knew far too much for them, two scruffy goals, no real dramas

ftao @Happy Face and perhaps others...available for pre order again http://transalpino.co.uk/product/adidas-gazelle-newcastle-bb5476c-pre-order/

In London for a show two Saturdays ago, made a day of it. Tube to Embankment, wandered up to Trafalgar Square, up Whitehall to Westminster to go and look at the old kings and queens at Westminster Abbey. The only group more numerous than tourists like us were the armed police. Frisked and bag search at abbey entrance. Headed back towards the south bank over Westminster bridge feeling decidedly strange, most pedestrians on opposite side of the bridge from the attack in March. Queued up for London eye, again frisked and bag searched. I felt reassured by the searches and the armed police everywhere. This is, whether we like it or not, the society that the foreign policy of successive western governments has created. It's all very well for Hopkins to blame immigrants but she misses the point by a fuckin mile.

Or Wolfy

That Tory manifesto isn't worth the fag packet it was written on the back of. Who made the call for her to lead Brexit? Out of her fuckin depth doesn't really cover it...are just some of the things Jezza should be saying this afternoon. But he'll probably still be answering questions about the IRA of which... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/evolvepolitics.com/realise-current-conservative-politician-literally-member-ira-right/amp/

I think there's a good chance that she won't increase her majority enough to make the whole thing worth it. Anything less than a 100 majority and it'll look fuckin pointless iyam

Oliver Holt on the bairns trying to win the Europa league for Ajax next week. A 17 year old centre half quotes Cruyff: " you can't score a goal with a bag of money" Rooney was still pissing about on his bmx at that age. Not really his fault, but it just shows you the difference in the Dutch system and the nonsense that is the Premier League academy system, especially the one at our new league champions, who ironically supply on loan one of the Ajax players. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4525778/Johan-Cruyff-s-spirit-lives-Ajax.html

Interview with Henry Winter...if he keeps on developing I'd make this lad captain in the future, another from the south who "gets it" https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/isaac-hayden-arsenal-is-a-massive-club-but-newcastle-has-a-special-aura-kh8gvpv0m?shareToken=db72b5e9db103836a06670be681d86cd

Right. Tbf if that's the case Bournemouth and West Brom are only a point behind Southampton so are well in with a chance on 45 pokbys. A decade ago West Ham went down with 43

Europa league I thought was the two cup winners and 5th? Manu get Europa league if they lose the final because they are league cup winners, not if they finish 6th or lower. Probably.

Dont think they've ever done that with the league cup? They used to with the FA cup but stopped it not long after Manu beat us in 99. Arsenal likely to finish 5th so the league place is probably theirs, manu in 6th so if they win the EL it will likely go to Everton in 7th.

The area was lib dem for decades, but the daft fuckers were manipulated by salmon the same way Farage got at large swathes of English voters : " your life's shit because of the English/ immigrants, vote for me for a better life!!", whether their lives were crap or not, and despite the borders voting "no" in the Indy ref. Lamonts only chance is due to nobody wanting another Indy ref, although he was only within 200 votes or so of Ker in the last GE. That's why the tories are gaining traction in various parts of Scotland, and that's why Sturgeons glory days may well be over. Ker's ok, he does a lot on rural broadband and is snp spokesman on rural affairs, which means he's the farmers place man to keep EU CAP grants coming in after Brexit, which is obviously a tricky gig..

Did you speak to Calum Ker, whose uncle taught me metalwork?

5live saying a friend found him on the bathroom floor in his hotel room.

Had this cd when it came out, it was stolen in a burglary in about 94, it came into mind mind for the first time in a couple of decades this morning

Poole hustings update: the Tory turned up, looked simultaneously scared and bored, then proved to be the archetypal Tory prick he always came across as. Then the lid dem fellah called the health secretary "Jeremy Cunt". In a church. In front of its woman rector who was chairing the evening Didn't need to be told the labour wife was a teacher, think she thought we were all 13. Green Party dude whispered but made some good points about nationalising land banks.

I think youre right

Am off to hustings tonight.... the sitting tory here in Poole didn't turn up to the same event in 2015, "too busy" apparently..so I tweeted the lib dem and labour candidates and they've received "assurances" that he's going to turn up. The Tory led council have shut every public toilet in the borough and the dopey Tory voting locals are for a change furious due to this sort of carry on I y gohttps://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4487520/amp/Tourists-using-gardens-Sandbanks-houses-toilet.html Also for the last 50 years the major A&E department for Dorset has been in Poole but that's changing and it's going to Bournemouth, only 7 miles but an hours drive in traffic. Over 300k people in Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch with what will end being one A&E, not to mention the rest of rural east Dorset. He's in for a tricky evening.. ing to get one bomot in the Book of Football Quotations, you had better make it as telling as Steve Archibald's pithy and cynical observation that seems more relevant than ever this past month. "Team spirit," said the Spurs and Barcelona striker, "is an illusion only glimpsed in victory."

Ginola @ the Spurs old players parade thing wanders out live streaming himself on his phone, the only one not wearing a tie Vinny Samways now! ....wonder if Gazza is sober enough?...

Nixon did something similar apparently, sacked the lead of an investigation into him. This is on another scale though. Think Trump will be lucky to see a Christmas at the Whitehouse.
