  1. I’m not sure looking back at decades old rail use is going to be that enlightening to how future privatisation could work, anymore than it would be enlightening to talk about how it used to be before the NHS when talking about private involvement in current medical services. 

     

    The ideal that if things were poor years ago that they’d be poor now is a flawed one. Even if I personally wouldn’t do it, at least as part of the next parliament. It’s not like it’s currently horrendous and people are dying all over the place and fares are ridiculous or there’s no trains or something. It’s not perfect but it’s serviceable for now. 

     

    Much more important is getting Brexit either avoided or the impact of it reduced. We also need to have a proper look at how democracy is working in the UK. Hint: it isn’t. We need to protect the NHS and make sure it is well funded. We need to make sure the social safety net is there and working for those who need it. For me, although us paying a lot to subsidise the private enterprise in the rail services, and to my mind that blows, it’s just not a pressing issue.

    Can't believe how many of you are so blase about the penalty shoot out.

     

    I don't care it's it the Asian cup or Champions league final, I want to win.

     

    Everybody wanted to win, we just aren't equating it to a massive loss so that we can make out that it's more important than it was in order to criticise.

    I care because it means that yet another trophy has been bought by these cunts

    You're more than free to care. The reality is they've bought a really good team and bought a really good manager, and we are right up there with them. I can't bring myself to care about a small club who are buying things. If their owner fucked off tomorrow, they'd be back sucking cocks for cigarette butts.

  4. I too am a bit disappointed we added nobody at all. I don't think the world is ending, but not signing a quality player to join the side is a bit disappointing. I only care if it's the manager's choice or the owners restricting him. If it's the former, then fine. If it's the owners, then it's a problem.

  5. It’s hard to be sympathetic when this happens. Obviously very sorry for the individual victims, it’s a tragedy. I just can’t get over the fact that the nation has chosen that this is acceptable as a consequence of ‘freedom’. This - mass shootings - happens time and time again. Nothing changes.
