  1. Maybe we should stop talking about corrupt politicians behaving corruptly. Or at least not raise it on the appropriate threads.
  2. With the London Mayoral election coming up, the Tories have decided to use London's apparently dying nightlife as a theme to attack Khan on. Thing is, apart from them highlighting streets that have never had much in the way of bars and clubs, I'm wondering who exactly they're hoping to win over, given the average Tory is over 60 and, in London, lives in the suburbs.
  3. Have a couple of reps on me, big man.
  4. The Tories desperately trying to 'move on' from this, fist by adopting the head in the sand approach, now, after serious pressure (and probably Badenoch breaking ranks for her own political gain) acknowledging Hester's remarks were racist but he's not racist and he's apologised so it's time to move on. You can see what paper's are still supporting the cunts by looking at the front papers to see what coverage this story is getting. They should give the donations back if they've got anything about them, which means they won't.
  5. I've no doubt there's a legitimate reason for it and far be it for me to criticise the Tories unduly, but from an optics POV, seeing Canary Wharf, one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in Britain and about half a square mile in size, getting more money (£242m) from the government than Wales (£170m) is next level mental. And funded from the 'levelling up' fund too.
  6. Taekwondo champion Rayna Vallandingham. Got to admire her skills and personality.
  7. A cabinet minister, Michelle Donelan, falsely accuses a professor of being pro-Hamas, is made to retract the claim and pay compensation - which comes out of the public purse, he justification being that it prevents 'prolonged legal costs'. Erm, yeah, to Donelan who made the claim, and only if she fights it in court. Bit of an outrage here, but gone completely under the radar. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68486206 "The sum paid was covered by taxpayers to prevent prolonged legal costs, the BBC has been told."
  8. Perhaps Merseyside Pensioner would have been happier had the MP offered free seats for the parents of those poverty-stricken children, so they could moan about how much of a piss take it is that they're being asked to give money to an MP when they can't feed their own children. Or maybe they would have been satisfied if the MP didn't fund raise for the election at all, so they could complain about how the MP's not really serious about taking on the Tories because they're all the same and this is the proof blah blah fucking blah. I barely engage with twats like this anymore, on here, or on social media. Fortunately I rarely come across people as unreasonable and, ultimately, thick as Merseyside Pensioner in real life, but if I do, I just cross the road.
  9. Given Galloway's beliefs, never mind his personality and behaviour towards his opponents, I don't get why any socialist would have time for him these days. In terms of policies, there's a rizla paper between him and the Reform Party - Nick Griffin was celebrating his win last week.
  10. Man United fans find themselves in the position of cheering on City tomorrow when they play *checks notes* Man United. I swear I've seen this film before.
  11. Just seen the bedwetting on Twitter over his comments, and came on here hoping to find saner heads prevailing. I shudda known better. What he said amounts to nothing more than 'It's not my place to say what the next manager's got in mind for me.'
  12. I've gone for Xabi, but he would come in with a lot of risk attached. the thing is, so would pretty much all of the likely candidates. The safest pair of hands is Ancelotti, and he's getting on, and he's best with a big budget and a settled squad. And he's at Real. I'm not even going to entertain the idea of Pep coming here. All of the others are unproven to some extent. Perhaps Enrique stands out among them. It's not like 2015, when Klopp was so obviously the right man.
  13. There's been countless insinuations in articles and columns, and even headlines implying they were guilty, again without evidence. If anything, it was those headlines that stoked up the hatred against them among the more feeble-minded members of the public. You think the press don't know how to engineer a good old class-based resentment when it sells papers or serves an agenda? This, from the Guardian in 2008: The Daily Express and Daily Star carried unprecedented front page apologies to Gerry and Kate McCann today for publishing more than 100 articles on the disappearance of their daughter, Madeleine, some of which suggested the couple were involved in her death https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/mar/19/dailyexpress.dailystar And what comparable 'working class mum and dad at a holiday camp' example are we talking about?
