    It wasn't a tough ask though. We are clearly on their level (3 CLEAR chances missed)

     

    The difference is that they have one world class player who makes a difference and we don't

    We have a few World class players. But Messi is different. World class players just can't deal with him, everything decent they did went through him.

    If you ever want to know exactly why we need to get rid of Henderson then watch this game back again. Especially from the 24th to 29th minute and from the 40 min mark onwards. He's a crab, a coward and a shithouse. Pointing like fuck and doing nowt else. 

    As bad as he has been Wijnaldum has been far worse. 

  3. Im taking my lad to the match on Sat, its only his second game and im driving down from Carlisle. Where is the best place to park, ideally i don't want to have a massive walk and I don't want to get stuck in loads of traffic getting home after the game. 

  4. There is a simple reason for the discrepancy here. People cheating the welfare state are taking other people's money, whereas someone trying to diminish their tax burden is trying to keep more of their own money.

     

    In pithier terms, welfare cheats are stealing money, and tax avoiders are trying to stop their money being stolen.

     

    Remarkable insight.

  5. I think most people know he's full of shit and there is a good reason why he's been kept in his box up until now.

    His support for Trump won't play well. No I think it's a panicky move by May who got battered the last couple of days.

    Johnson will do them more harm than good

     

    That was my thinking. Its still shocking though when they are running that bullshit story massively on Social media, plenty of fools fall for this shit.

  6. It doesn't say that.  It says they will reintroduce a lower rate for small businesses.  Without fact-checking, I'm assuming that this means that currently small businesses and big corporations are paying the same rate.  

     

    Corporation tax is the lowest of any major developed economy. Our new settlement with business will ask large corporations to pay a little more while still keeping corporation tax among the lowest of the major developed economies. In turn, we will meet the business need for a more skilled workforce with extra corporate tax revenues while contributing to education and skills budgets. We will protect small businesses by reintroducing the lower small profits rate of corporation tax. We will also exclude small businesses from costly plans to introduce quarterly reporting and take action on late payments.

     

    They haven't made enough of this part of the corporation tax policy. Im unsure why such a carrot isn't being promoted.

  7. Tories going all out on Brexit and Corbyn now, the politics of fear to the fore once again. Fear of change, a dilution of hope. Vote for us because the others are shit. I read a report that focus groups think the tories have a Brexit plan? That must be the plan they keep mentioning but cannot actually tell us.

  8. Well yeah, that's what I said. And it's the reason I don't accept excuses like people being angry or disenfranchised for engaging in that type of behaviour or issuing death threats.

     

    The person who directed them at Berger has been arrested apparently so we'll find out in due course what he had to say.

     

    I wasn't offering excuses, but generally speaking its a lot easier to apportion blame than look at the deeper causes and work towards eliminating them....longer than a election cycle thats for sure. 

     

    And you would struggle arresting everybody acting like wankers on twitter.

  9. I suspect we'd fundamentally disagree on what drives these people to do these things. I'm pretty sure you don't wake up one day and decide to be antisemitic because you've been given a rough deal by the government or because you think the PLP have let you down.

     

     

    I find that pretty patronising to be honest. Anti-semitism, Racism etc are all rooted in deeper things than party allegiance and we both know that.
