  1. Preparation for no deal is costing the state £6bn. Johnson’a proposed tax cut is going to cost the state £10bn a year. The UK is pretty fucking rich. Some people just want to spread the wealth more evenly.

  2. So 1st of all we'll start on price. £15 for the breakfast plus 2 coffees. Then the cheeky cunts put on a 12.5% service charge. Onto the breakfast itself. I chose the "full monty" which is what you see, but I took out fungus and they offered me a hash brown in return. It was 1 toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 1 sausage, 1 black pudding, those home fries they have in America, the hash brown, half a tomato and beans. Quality.... For the bad first ... Not enough butter for the toast. And the toast was brown, for me a fry up has to come with white toast, but it was decent enough. The bacon was nice, but there was loads and loads of that white shite that comes out of bacon. The home fries were not really like ones I've had in the states, they were much drier. They tasted good (a kind of Southern fried seasoning on there), but it was too much and too dry. Onto the good. The sausage and black pudding were fucking great, almost worth coming for that alone. These items are important for me on a breakie. And the beans were suppose to be Heinz, but tasted 10 times better than any Heinz beans I've had before. I can take or leave beans on a breakfast, but if I came back here they'd be a must, maybe even for you bean haters. Overall I really enjoyed it. If I picked the ingredients I'd double the sausage and black pud and half the home fries. That might get it a 10/10. Oh with some white toast. All in all, taste 8.5/10, value 6.5/10 (fucking 17 quid?!). I would go back providing like today I wasn't paying.

  3. To embrace the thread title - roast fucking potatoes do not, will not, shall not and can not, form any part of a cooked breakfast and be considered and constitute, anything more than a cockney slag morning after the night before, jiz sponge gargle bag.

  5. Well you did say something. You used a word that isn't acceptable. Granted, I don't think there is any real intent in the way it was used (although I don't actually know what your point was), but you still used it when there was no need and I'd appreciate it if you didn't do it again. You can all argue whether the word should or shouldn't be allowed depending on the context, but ultimately what it boils down to is I just don't like seeing it and my first reaction when I see it is the same as when I hear it, which is to recoil and wince. So either refer to it as 'the N word' or use ***, I don't care which, but I don't want to see the actual word and I'm sure I'm not alone.

  6. I’ve always voted Labour. Back in Australia most of my mates went to private school and were prosecco centrists; socially left and economically right. I honestly believe I deserve the Lefty of the Year award, because I’ve stayed good despite growing up with cunts.

  7. I really don’t understand anyone who argues against certain things being nationalised, such as utilities, health and transport. Those are basic things that people need in life, there should be no profits being made by greedy cunt shareholders. Fair enough, argue against the supposed socialist mentality of the state owning all property, that’s a bullshit theory but it’s now what is on the table.

  8. Get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he’s done now since he come in and let him sign the contract and go. Virg is at the wheel, man. He’s doing it. He’s doing his thing. Liverpool are back.

  9. My concern is that a number of our key players, especially the front 3, have played a huge amount of football two years in a row with dangerously little in the way of summer breaks. As a double whammy, that’s an area of the team I feel is already one very good player light, i.e. a wide forward who could rotate in for Mo or Mane as required. As a result of these issues and a couple of other relatively minor ones (not having specialist, experienced full-back cover, several injury prone centre-halves and a pear salesman as reserve goalie) I worry we may start a bit slower than ideal and/or hit a sticky patch of injuries/burn-out at some stage, thus not definitely winning all 38 league games to guarantee stopping the most cynically put together sporting outfit in history winning their third title in a row. While then stretching into a fourth decade without the title ourselves. That is the absolute extent of my worries as to what may go wrong in the league this season, and we are still so, so fucking good now that I won’t be giving it much thought. The levels of squad strength we’d need to amass to allay such fears are largely unprecedented and, in any case, evidently not desired by Klopp for reasons we’ve already benefitted from. Smaller squad of regularly involved versatile players, providing incredible team spirit and ability to drop into games like Barca at home without negatively affecting performance levels, for example. If would be ideal if we could bring in Coutinho on loan, or another forward of similar class. It would certainly help alleviate that bit of fear. But seriously...United, Arsenal, Chelsea, at least one of them will have a fast start and knock over a few easy fixtures, maybe even getting their noses in front of us for a bit. Means nothing over the whole season and our sights are set well beyond them and theirs just at this moment. Like Sarri’s Chelsea, or the goblin at United last year, such early runs will soon prove to be a mirage. I’m fully expecting us to challenge for the title again and am relishing the continuing development of the best reds side any of us have watched in 3 decades. Talk of dropping down the league or having major struggles all season is as realistic as saying we’ll win all 7 trophies easily would be at the other end of the spectrum.

  10. Trophee des Champions (the French Community Shield) 2019 A Bit of a Shit Show Today was the opening salvo of the competitive French football season (using competitive loosely, it's a glorified friendly played in China for marketing reasons). The match was played in the sweltering Shenzhen heat on an absolute disgrace of a pitch. Basically, everything dumb that you associate with modern preseason football except that this is actually supposed to be a competitive match between the Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France winners and there is a trophy on the line. PSG faced Rennes, a rematch of the 2019 Coupe de France final where Rennes emerged unlikely winners in a match that will be remembered as the moment the great Hatem Ben Arfa dipped his ballsack right in PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi's mouth after he led his team to glorious victory (also the small matter of Rennes winning their first trophy since 1971). On to the match report. Without Neymar but with most of their other top players available, PSG lined up in a 4-3-3 with Mbappe taking the Brazilian's usual spot on the left. Rennes on the other hand, had most of their squad gutted due to AFCON missing out on usual starters such as; Mbaye Niang, Ramy Bensebaini, Ismaila Sarr and Hamari Traore, therefore Julien Stephan opted for a 5 at the back system with new signing Flavien Tait up top and 16 year old Eduardo Camavinga in midfield. Basically, PSG had a massive advantage from the start. Despite this, Rennes took the early advantage. With PSG players slipping all over the place on the crap pitch, and seeing their short passes bounce and veer of their intended targets, the Parisian side were, mildly put, fucking shit in the opening half hour. New signing Abdou Diallo and his partner, the perpetual lost-looking Thilo Kehrer were done by a brilliant cross from Benjamin Bourigeaud which Adrien Hunou diverted home. The move looked slightly offside, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that PSG willl still struggle this season to defend against quality opposition. Following this goal, the game took the predictable pattern many thought it would take; PSG holding possession, pushing back a young and undermanned Rennes side. They were finally broken down in the 57th minute. A brilliant over-the-top ball from Marquinhos was brought down by new signing Pablo Sarabia, who then squared to an unmarked Killian Mbappe. From that point it wasn't really a contest anymore. PSG poured on the pressure and when Angel Di Maria replaced new signing Ander Herrera in midfield, his wand of a left foot made the telling difference, curling in a free kick. With PSG in the lead, Rennes tried to force proceedings a bit more and created a few half chances, before creating a clear cut opportunity to tie the game in stoppage time when a cut back found its way to the 16 year old Camavinga who could only blaze over. Final Score: PSG 2, Rennes 1. Conclusion: All in all, a predictable result for a fixture that I feel was a bit of a joke. PSG were distinctly average against a team which didn't have the option of fielding its team at even 50% of its normal capacity. PSG didn't need to be good and they weren't either, but as it often is in France, their average level was enough to win. Also, why is the French Community Shield in China? Just no need. That was shite. Also, there are videos of the trophy celebration where Neymar looks like someone who is currently dealing with an alleged rape charge (oh wait...). He doesn't look happy. During the team picture, there's also footage of him being physically shoved out by Mbappe and Verratti so that he can't be part of it. Yikes. As usual, PSG are an absolute clown show. Thanks for reading!!!

They were suggesting it’s harsh when a child is fighting off such a terrible illness that now they have to look like a fucking idiot and lose some credibility as well. Personally I think it would have been kinder to leave her bald, but you know, people have some funny ideas, don’t they. As the last few pages demonstrates fairly eloquently.

  26. Our government have a problem with things being state owned but not when it's other states. Arriva is owned by the German government and one of the big energy firms, Eon I think, is majority owned by the French government. Probation was recently brought back in house after a string of disasters. Some things simply shouldn't be run with profit in mind. I put universities in that bracket too. Fucking timebomb that sector and socially and morally defunct.

  28. On the privatisation issue, I’m yet to be convinced that the cost would justify the benefits. It seems like upheaval that isn’t particularly necessary at a time like this. Ideally, in my opinion, I would like to see these industries owned by the people of the country and run in the public interest. We are quite far down the road from that and must be pragmatic.

  29. I’ve just realised that it’s actually pointless trying to have these debates as people are so entrenched that they won’t change their view. It’s like the EU thread, the same people just arguing the same stuff over and over and over again.

  30. If patriotism hadn’t been commandeered by racists it wouldn’t really be an issue. Problem is its used now to make people feel like they aren’t included because they weren’t born somewhere. Since Brexit I don’t feel like I particularly belong anywhere, i was just born born into the world and I’m doing the best I can to make mine and my kids lives better.

  31. With regards to rail nationalisation, I assume they wouldn’t do it all in one go as there are different franchises with different contracts running aren’t there? So you could do it one by one and keep the fares as they are for a bit to help with subsiding it.

  32. That’s such utter shite. Various services here cost substantially more than anywhere else in Europe. It’s not hard to say why. Some industries like water or rail are just not suitable for capitalism. It’s not like you can get to the train station of a morning and 3/4 trains turn up and you decide which train you fancy getting on based on whether you want a cheap one or expensive one which has the best seats. The same with water. Most of these industries are complete necessities as well so taking water and energy for example the government has to regulate the actual price of it. It’s a complete nonsense. This fantasy that privatisation drives the cost of things down because of competition is fucking laughable. Anyone that’s worked in any company in the private sector will tell you. There’s completely unaccountable knobheads who work everywhere and they survive at private companies just as long as they do anywhere else. All the privatisation of these industries means in reality is another level of blame that can be shifted somewhere so that people can say “oh there’s nothing we can do about it” as all these Tory knobheads are making a killing with their shares in these companies

  33. I disagree. If you believe that is indeed the case the you may as well privatise the NHS, no? Huge lump sum of money for the state, and the people are still taken care of. Profit seeking companies run their business first and foremost to make cash. If a product isn’t very profitable then they’d invest less on it and put more money on more profitable products. Do you think provisions of health, electricity, or water should be run that way?

  37. Parties will always be partial to policies that are perceived to work in their favour electorally , which is why the Tories are looking to benefit by changing constituency boundaries and introducing checks on identification at polling centres. Anyway, the shit I have heard spouted by people far older than 16 in the last few years suggest that the youngsters might actually have more sense.
