  1. "We'll see who still has the power" - the people have the power - that's how democracy works. If Corbyn doesn't win given Theresa May has done jack-all this campaign, will you be supporting Corbyn to stay on?
  2. All this talking yet the good thing is we'll see who was right in just over a month. If Labour lose Corbyn has to go.
  3. Yeah agreed mate- exactly what I was thinking. Clear as day he wasn't comfortable from the off.
  4. I think there's a good chance that Haye's injury was actually affecting him from the start of the fight. That would explain why he didn't seem to be moving around as sharply as he usually does. His footwork was shoddy from the off. For example, if you watch the 6th round, as soon as it starts his right foot is in an awkward position and that was before it actually buckled.
  5. Various ideas being branded about here. In reality, as with most things, is there isn't a clear cut answer and depends on the detail. Those who claim paying higher wages are a boost to the economy through higher productivity are referring to "efficiency wages" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiency_wage). There may be some merit in paying workers more than the market clearing wage if that genuinely boosts productivity. But as long as wages are higher than workers' productivity across the whole economy it is likely that higher costs faced by firms will either result in higher rates of unemployment or inflation. The interesting question is - are workers being paid less than their productivity deserves? If so, where is the market failure occurring and how to address it?
  6. I'm not saying I'm right - I'm explaining the rationale for my conclusion he's thick. CEOs may have worse qualifications (probably less than a handful though) but then their non-academic credentials will be pretty impressive. Corbyn doesn't have that either from what I can tell. Sure he went to a Polytechnic university and didn't even manage to finish his degree. Big signal that he isn't very smart. Number 1 isn't a question so it can't be "answered". There may be apologists who justify enacting Article 50 immediately but from my perspective it would have been a stupid move. I'm not commenting on other politicians. The question you asked me was about Corbyn, not Boris Johnson.
  7. A few reasons. From the top of my head: 1. He wanted to trigger Article 50 the day after the referendum. Even the Tories waited 8-9 months to think things through. Clearly he has no sense of strategic planning which also comes through in the documentary they did on him a few months ago. 2. He comes out with statements clear as mud like ""Labour is not wedded to freedom of movement for EU citizens as a point of principle, but I don't want that to be misinterpreted, nor do we rule it out". 3. He didn't do very well in his exams did he? Got 2 Es or something. You wouldn't get to be CEO of a company let alone run a country with those qualifications.
  8. Indeed very impressive. I think the first season was better than the second season. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the Cali cartel.
  9. Precinct 75, it's about the corruption in the NYPD during the 80s/90s - 8/10 Fascinating insight.
  10. So I couldn't watch anything for years after completing The Wire because it is, by far, the greatest show to have ever been produced. But I gave Narcos a go recently and was very impressed. Worth watching for those who have netflix.
  11. Look, people in the real world aren't as polarised as many in this forum are. They appreciate that each party has things they like and things they don't like - that's the nature of human beings. Corbyn arguably has some policies which the majority may favour. But after weighing up everything, it isn't going to be sufficient for enough people to vote for him. Unless things really mess up, and I mean really bad, Corbyn just doesn't have the support to win a GE.
  12. I think the way things have gone since the coalition ended shows you how well they did in trying to balance the Tories.
  13. Given that I itemised my points both for and against Trump in clear English, I would be more concerned if you didn't understand why I like him. I also assume you must therefore also understand why I don't like him. I'm happy you can read :-)
  14. The choices are shit. Only lib dems are the viable alternative but I don't like Tim Farron. Parliament is a joke right now.
  15. No he usually has a big following on social media. Individuals can post what they want, it's not like tv or newspapers. That's usually where he is strongest. Not anymore.
  16. Corbyn's getting hammered on social media. https://www.buzzfeed.com/rosebuchanan/honestly-what-did-you-expect?utm_term=.ojxE1n5ga#.mwvQk9yxb

  18. Yeah I am Hindu - it isn't a character, that's what I genuinely am.
