PaddockLad replied to Haydnator's topic in Newcastle Forum
Yeah I think Cisse will start, McClaren's been bumming him up over the weekend...a lot of teams I've seen have de jong in behind and only one holding...which would be brave away from home for Schteeve... -

The one with the Kemps? I sort of liked that, the most interesting thing for me wasn't the twins though, it was how they were both dominated by the women in the film..I think that's that's the subtext to their whole story tbh..they wanted to please their mum and her mates..something to do with the war iyam, at the end when Billy Whitelaw talks about the whats lying at the bottom of the Serpantine, that's a genuinely horrifying and affecting scene, and its apparently mostly true.. -
That's class Caught another Jeremy at lunchtime,Mr Vine of wireless fame describing Ed Milliband as "left wing"....the bbc is chock full of biased tory fuckwits who have no idea what the fuck has been going on in Parliament during the last decade. Milliband was so left wing Gideon stole half his policies after the election ffs
-
No shadow in defence yet....might be tricky to find a unilateralist who wants to leave NATO in todays Westminster....he'll be stuck with someone who need a minister's salary for that gig iyam. Whoever it is, you'd think there will have to be a huge amount of give on Corbyn's side..

You reckon? He's giving Ken Livingstone a peerage so he can get him into the cabinet

Jezza's first two names on the team sheet.. Shadow Home Secretary: Andy Burnham Shadow foreign secretary: Hilary Benn so far, so blairite... John McDonnell tipped for number 11, PLP tipped for mass coronary if that happens

"Of the Kens"

Roy Jenkins, Labour Home Secretary in the 6Os....legalised homosexuality, abolished capital punishment, and put in place legislation for the contraceptive pill and the abortion bill. A truly great man iyam.

Milliband listened to focus groups and formed his policy from there because although hes a decent person he didn't have any real beleif in himself to deliver a radical anti austerity message. Corbyn is a conviction politician to his marrow from the old skool of the UK Labour movement. He implicitly beleives he's right and is confident about his own ability to deliver the message in a way that Milliband never was. He came over as a nervous confused man trying to please all and in the end pleasing no one.

Why can't it be delivered? You seem to be saying that it's ok to use public money save the banks followed by huge rafts of worldwide quantative easing to boost a flatlining economy, but when it comes to helping the less fortunate members of society the coffers are empty? What you're saying is theres no will to change things. And you're almost certainly right about that among most of the UK electorate because they're cynical, apathetic and plain old not interested. Corbyn is the opposite and he's out to engage people. I have huge doubts whether he'll succeed but I'd rather go down his road than the morally bankrupt status who you seem happy with. Look at Scotland . Theres huge swathes of very conservative people voting for socialists because they know the fuckin wankers running this country are having us over a barrell.

It wasn't for me either, but that was entirely down to the recession. I had about 12 months all told sat on my arse with no graft, and when I did get something regular it involved a 116 mile round trip to Portsmouth, where I had to clock in before 0630. But I'm not sure what that's got to do with the ethos and meaning of today's Labour Party and whether they can convince people they're fit to govern?
-
Seeing as the Tories said they'd slow down the planned austerity cuts as soon as they won the election, which was basically the core economic policy in Labour's manifesto, then I'd say the two were pretty similar.
-
It's time to find out if Labours founding principles and ethos matter and can help society in the early 21st century. If Corbyn is a disaster, and even though I voted for him there's every indication that he could well be, we'll end up with a bland as fuck choice as in the U.S. between two largely neo con corporate cock sucking blocks, albeit one with a slightly less scary PR message. This is the UK's last chance, but I think the Tory propaganda machine will cut his knackers off before his first PMQ's.

If this post didn't have the posters name on it my first guess would be that it was by CT. Thats a measure of how fuckin ridiculous it is.

Geordies almost twice as likely to kill themselves as Londoners

Agree....I think that's at the core of what may be termed "hardcore" internet trolling.....most of the ones who end up in court appear to be social outcasts... -
I'm 46 next month and that's the first time anyone I've voted for has won anything

Hes shared a stage with some fuckin horrors but in a world where the queen shakes the hands of McGuiness and Adams.....point is he's spent his entire life campaigning about racism and human rights. For the media to accuse him of being an anti semite when they know the diametric opposite is true is fuckin abhorrent.

Do you know of St Ann's in Poole? Am working on a refurb of the old bulding there atm (built in 1910, we were sent home at 0800 this morning as they've found that unbelievably a building of that age has asbestos ) and they spent six figure sums transferring some patients away to other facilities so we can carry out the work. This in turn has been brought to the attention of the local press because theres no beds for local folks and as you say people are being sent hundreds of miles away for treatment. Thing is, it overlooks the beach at Canford Cliffs/Sandbanks and is a prime target for local developers as the land is worth millions. We've also heard the works we're carrying out are only for a 5 year life span. Go figure -
My old man lived in Finchley, North London in the 60s...he says he'd go to Spurs or Arsenal every other week depending on who was at home.....unless manu were in town, then he'd go anywhere to watch Best, Law and most of all Charlton...from what he says as a footballer BC was 20 years ahead of his time at least.

Monbiot making it clear what you're against with a vote for Corbyn... The City’s stranglehold makes Britain look like an oh-so-civilised mafia state http://gu.com/p/4c8xv?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard
