Terrifying.

To be fair, when you have a live-in baker things can get pricey.

Yeah, course it will.

That is patently ridiculous.

Joker - not funny. 8.5/10

I loved this from the thread about the Gomez/Sterling clash which subsequently saw Sterling fucked off and dropped... ‘Only going to harm Gomez, Sterling could click his fingers if he was vindictive enough and have every Liverpool clogger in the side dropped instantly, he is England right now even ahead of Kane so it’s unwise to piss him off.‘

I also respectfully disagree.

I’m not sure you can draw too many accurate conclusions from those, mate. There were a lot of other factors at play. New Labour wasn’t unpopular because of its domestic and economic decisions. In fact, a lot of what they did to repair the country - both figuratively and literally - that was very popular. Many of the things people complained at being ripped away during austerity years were New Labour projects. My point is, it’s not as simple as people not liking centre left politics. They became unpopular for a number of reasons. Get a Labour leader who is presentable, intelligent, and pragmatic without a load of baggage and I think s/he would have won an election, no matter if s/he was left wing or centre left. We on the left - in an attempt to be what we consider pure and honest and ethical - sometimes miss the important fact that general elections are dirty little popularity contests won by leaders who are looked at for a few seconds and decided whether they are likeable or not. It’d be nice to have a leader who was easily likeable, able to churn out some quotes and sound bites (the horror!), and actually win an election. I’m not saying that’s all they should have, I’m saying these things are important ingredients to winning over the vote of a lot of people. Like it? No. It’s important though, and the right are way better at it than we are. Waaaay better.

‘Very good’. Wow. ‘In the red corner is a blinkered Pharisee, a man so convinced of his own rectitude that he sees no contradiction between his pious homilies about racism and equality and a lifetime of support for terrorists, murderers and racist thugs. Like all leaders of a totalitarian mindset, he is entirely uninterested in the lives of individual human beings. He cares only for classes and factions, and the struggle between abstract political forces.’ Thats not ‘very good’, it’s an outright lie. You calling that bunch of spiteful horseshit ‘very good’ shows your mindset is quite broken.

I tried to vote for Apple Sauce, which I like with pork, but fat-fingered it into redcurrant Jelly.

Haha.

Much better in attacking areas than as a deeper midfielder. He’s disciplined and dependable when deeper, but more than that when further forward. Still, needs must. Klopp s system demands it.

Slow as fuck.

He’s fucking wank.
