Numero Veinticinco

Are you sure now is the time to gloat?

That's a good start, Jair. Yep. And yeah, I'll put him on ignore now. Actually, we should all do it. Anybody else in?

You do, mate. You know EXACTLY why he's celebrating.

I wasn't wrong, not about the result of the election and not about you being an absolute wind up shithouse.

Fair point, fellas.

You are stupid, you fucking twat. You're a fucking spoon fed cunt.

Yes, Stronts. A little too fucking soon.

You're a fucking cunt. A disgusting Tory cunt who couldn't give a fuck about anybody but yourself. I fucking despise you and people like you.

Mate. It's almost 2020. Enough of the lacism.

Yeah, I saw that. They all seem to call us 'cheats' there. Weird oil cheating twats.

I can confirm the this is categorically untrue.

Mate, half the players we buy these days I've never watched and end up loving them. Fabinho, barely ever saw him. Same with Minamino. Looked decent against us, but don't really know much about him TBH. Same was true of Robbo. He turned out okay. I'm in again.

Don't need him? Understood, he's shite. I'm out.

Nah, I know loads of cunts that don't look like that. Oh, you mean Jews? Nah, I googled him and he looks not unwell in most of his others pictures. I didn't know if something had happened. I don't follow him (or really use Twitter at all), so I don't know. What I do know is, that post is a bunch of wank.

Out of interest, is he unwell or something. His profile picture makes him look gaunt as fuck.

It's almost as if not everything is about Jews.

Yeah, madness. He then said how he was blocking anybody who denied his view. Weird.

There was a large increase in the income in inequality, but it wasn't because the poor got poorer, they didn't. It was because the rich got so much richer. Like I say, if the choice is between the rich getting richer and the poor getting richer at a slower rate, versus the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, less well educated, less healthy and less supported, then it's an easy choice. I'm not saying it's the only choice, and I'm certainly not sweeping anything under the carpet - I've spoken about those issues many times on here. I also think the way you frame Labour's economic legacy as just a continuation of 'Thatcher's economic legacy' is a bit coarse and lacking. There certainly were some aspects of it that continued and got deeper, but the main redistribution was different. I don't necessarily have an issue with massive wealth creation as long as some of it actually gets put back into the country in a productive way. By the way, I'm sure even Rico and Stronts would agree that there does need to be regulation in the market, but there's no real point in doing it if it damages the creation of wealth that can then be redistributed. We no longer live in the 1960s, we live in a globalised economy and we have to act differently.

No, he isn't. I mean, these words actually have meanings and definitions. EDIT: I don't despite the 'he' or 'cunt' parts.

Anyway, fuck it. There's literally no fuckin' point in looking at 1997. We are 20 years on, I'm praying for a miracle tonight and hope I'm tattooing Corbyn's face on my face this weekend.

They did a fucking load of good after the best part of two decades of Tory horror. From minimum wage, sustained low inflation and mortgage rates, record levels of unemployment including highest ever employment rate, youth unemployment cut by 75 fuckin' per cent and the New Deal putting 2 million people back into work, 600k kids and millions of elderly lifted out of poverty, and a booming economy; to health where they dramatically improved hospitals and care (85k more nurses, 30k more doctors, heart disease death down 150k, cancer death down by 50k, waiting lists slashed by 500k, etc); on to social policies that changes the lives of millions (2200 Sure Start centres, child benefit up 25%, 200-300 quid for pensioners in the winter, child tax credits which saved God knows how many families, eye tests, free buses for over 60s, etc) and fixed our education system seeing that 300k new teachers and assistants, and doubled - fucking doubled - the funding for every pupil in Britain, gave students whatever that weekly pay was, record numbers of literacy and numeracy and some of the best ever test results seen for teens. You're right, they did lots of good and acted how a Labour government should act on a lot of issues. They also acted in a way any government should not act with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But I don't think your 'we are where we are because of them' is remotely accurate. We are where we are because of the Tories. Had we reacted to the financial crisis the way that Labour wanted to instead of the way the Tories wanted, we would have recovered more quickly - and were doing - and wouldn't have had the issues we now face. My issue is, aside from a miracle tonight, we aren't getting a Corbyn Labour government. It isn't happened. So whilst we can complain about how we got here or who is at fault, that gammon faced fridge magnet cunt is going to get away with bloody murder and if the same road is travelled again, with the wrong person to sell the vision, then it's another fucking decade of these cunts. At least.

He's like a mini 'mino, really.

Please, for the love of all that is Holy, don't put me in a position that I have to sing the virtues of New Labour. I don't think I could take it, moof. Not tonight, moof; not tonight.

I think anytime somebody is forced to end a sentence with 'it's as simple as that' that it's rarely as simple as that. I think Tony Blair should shut his whore mouth, but I'm not going to pretend he wasn't centre left on most issues, and his government was a mixture of centre left and left, with a few bizarre attempts at curbing some liberty in the name of security. I think Stronts probably goes a little far with 'war on civil liberties' but there certainly were issues. I could probably have swallowed some of that if it wasn't for the war.
