Prolly Toynbee's written some good stuff lately, there's a great article on why "the poor" just aren't listening to common sense... http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/13/brexit-supporters-leave-vote-right?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

@Dr Gloom , a quote from his link.. "The EU is making its people poorer" That is true in a way, but if the EU wasn't tied into the global neo liberal system it would maybe be going about things differently.....its neo liberalism that is completely and utterly failing, and it's turning the poor (and not so poor) towards more of the fucktards who stand squarely behind it, the likes of Boris, Nigel and Donald, buying into their bullshit of "it's all immigrations fault, vote for us and you'll be free!" They're sleepwalking into more of what they're against. I can't quite believe how fucking depressing all this is.

Stood waiting for her outside after she'd finished her surgery apparently, stabbed then shot her numerous times, also a man from a nearby dry cleaners who tried to intervene is injured as well. Allegedly pinned down by policemen whilst being arrested, shouting "Britain first" http://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2016/jun/16/eu-referendum-live-osborne-brexit-budget-leave-tories?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Administrador_de_p

All because Cameron couldn't control his backbenchers....it fuckin beggars belief that he's gone down this road when he almost certainly knew he wouldn't stand for a 3rd GE....probably expected another hung parliament last year and the referendum to be ditched in the subsequent horse trading. He kept Scotland by a whisker last year only for this car crash to achieve the destruction of the U.K. by default anyway...good work Dave

See, this is what I'd like to do....drive the old jalopy into the city, drink a skinful of their shitty antipodean beer then stagger back for a restful nights kip. However, the current Mrs PL is strongly against this plan, as this is the nearest camp to the city itself, and we'd be almost certainly parked illegally come the morning, having spent the small hours "with inadequate toilet facilities".... I don't know what her problem is

Think I've gone for something similar but free, puffin browser. Looks like it might do the trick, cheers

Can anyone recommend a decent app for an iPad by which I may be magically able to watch tonight's UK inter-nation football fest?... it's on at the relatively civil time of 11pm so I thought I'd make the effort.... Think what am after is a browser app which gets round the lack of flash drive on iOS devices? Or is there another way?

I don't doubt it like, but if you're taking TVs ££££s you've got to have bit more guile and backbone than Jones displayed if you're there for "balance"...To me he should've just hardballed them with a few questions of his own when the host started putting word into hi mouth...

Owen Jones was right, but storming off like that makes him look like a child, not a serious journalist. Looks like this piece of shit hated himself more than he hated homosexuals or loved Islam though....

Never heard of this debit card thing, but sub contractors working through agencies have had to pay a company to "process" their wages for the best part of two decades. Can't claim the 15-25 quid a week back as expenses neither. I think the overall term for this bullshit is "casualisation"... -

Saw an interview with Joe Frazier once, he said Ali wasn't the greatest heavyweight champion in history, but he was the greatest "man"* to have held the title, which is some compliment seeing as Ali was unremittingly cruel and abusive towards Frazier throughout their careers. The whole "I ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong, no Vietcong ever called me nigger" is just about the most inspiring story in the history of professional sport for me, to put his career and livelihood on line for a principle such as that, to stand up to the US government and win, then go on to win his belt back v Foreman in Zaire was just astounding. An absolute immortal, there will definetly be no one else like him *Frazier said for him it was Joe Louis, but Ali is at least in the top 3 iyam

No banning order for you then.....they've changed the face of England's support more than anything...they don't get everyone though, lad I know from Poole was deported from Sweden 92 and France 98, he's in Thailand at the moment with all the other "retired" hooligans in Pattaya, and he's still got tickets from whatever has replaced the England travel club for all three group games in France next month
