Same - my mission to save Premier League revenue is under threat

It must have been scripted by Mike Leigh.

I have to bump this because its been making me laugh all day, but it could be just me...

Good to hear from you Dirk - the name change threw me initially.

Science has now been able to recreate the wonderful voices of the neanderthals, which resonate down the years. neanderthals.mp4

Apparently his role as an extra in the production of War Horse didn't go too well.

What a wonderful city.

Tyler just jizzed "Lamelaaaaaah"

I hope to meter

Private Pike I believe.

Couldn’t agree more - the most significant change was the size of Blair and Mandy’s ban accounts. Much of the popular cynicism and disenchantment with politics can be traced back to Blair and his cronies.

Yes I can't remember a time when things were so bad for so many people. I thought we could never sink lower than the Thatcher era but this lot have passed that and still falling. Labour's main asset under Corbyn is the massed membership - boots on the ground to help get your voters out is what makes the difference. The Tory party machine is pretty decrepit nowadays.

Definitely did the right thing, as he usually has in these situations. He has consistently bucked ‘conventional wisdom’ and it hasn’t done him any harm - authenticity is far more important than jumping on whatever the current jingoistic bandwagon happens to be. His principled line on shoot-to-kill during after the London attacks during the election didn’t affect the party’s support despite all the baying from tabloids at the time. Still a novelty to see a party leader who doesn’t automatically fall into line and mouth pious platitudes on foreign policy - that’s what has re-engaged so many of us in politics.

This - add 'imperious' to that.

Just watched that with two other Reds in a North London pub packed with gooners. Blue sky, good ale, free-flowing football, day off tomorrow - Sundays don't get much better.

Me too - spot on.

Delighted with how well this is going. Pleasing to see the GF call it right where the MSM got it so wrong. La lucha continua.

This.

Apparently they're going to form a band - Jerry and the Pacemaker.

Recently been made redundant so got some time on my hands ! (in between Jeremy Kyle / Desperate Housewives etc obviously).

It gets even worse - get this: 'The BBC admits it co-ordinated in advance the on-air resignation of Stephen Doughty Yesterday, three Labour front-benchers resigned in protest at Jeremy Corbyn’s minor reshuffle. One of them – the previously unheard of Stephen Doughty – did so live on the Daily Politics just 5 minutes before the start of Prime Minister’s Questions, giving David Cameron the opportunity to bring it up in the chamber. Today, the ‘output editor’ for the Daily Politics, wrote a – now taken down – blog on the BBC website’s ‘Academy’ section*, explaining how it all came about. You can read a cached version of the blog here. Apparently, the BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg set it all up. From the blog post: Just before 9am we learned from Laura Kuenssberg, who comes on the programme every Wednesday ahead of PMQs, that she was speaking to one junior shadow minister who was considering resigning. I wonder, mused our presenter Andrew Neil, if they would consider doing it live on the show? The question was put to Laura, who thought it was a great idea. Considering it a long shot we carried on the usual work of building the show, and continued speaking to Labour MPs who were confirming reports of a string of shadow ministers considering their positions. Within the hour we heard that Laura had sealed the deal: the shadow foreign minister Stephen Doughty would resign live in the studio. Although he himself would probably acknowledge he isn’t a household name, we knew his resignation just before PMQs would be a dramatic moment with big political impact. We took the presenters aside to brief them on the interview while our colleagues on the news desk arranged for a camera crew to film him and Laura arriving in the studio for the TV news packages. I think this this is quite interesting because, while it could be argued that a live on air resignation is a great coup, I’m not sure it’s the job of the BBC’s political editor to actively assist disgruntled shadow cabinet members attempt to inflict maximum damage upon their party leader. I imagine if she had assisted a junior government minister do the same, there’d be a fearful row about BBC impartiality. What do you think?
