  1. This. Labour getting in would be the last possible chance of stopping the Tories from destroying any framework to oppose the government. I'm betting Labour unions will be deemed illegal on grounds of antisemitism.
  2. Can't say I blame them, it seems like Zuckerberg has thought this thing through and developed a bit of kit over the course of a few years now, knowing that one day it'll be a household item, sold by them at a manageable price (£250-350), and will be utterly addictive. The Metaverse is his, he knows it, and he'll control what goes in it, and within it he can set-up his own economy. It's sewn up. It's just a case of when he wants to make the next step.
  3. Yeah I hear that and see your points. BTC scarcity is cited as important, as is privacy, but I don't see why BTC is valued so highly but Litecoin is not. Same, but cheaper, and actually accepted as currency. But moreover, it too has scope to jump in value out of nowhere, so why would you part with it now if you think it might 10x? Well, you don't. So where IS the currency exchange argument for crypto? I don't think it can ever replace fiat, but I think Facebook and Amazon will create their own 'token', and I would be surprised to see them develop it together. The business model would be for you to earn the token as a reward for the time you spend on any Meta affiliate app/site, which basically rewards you for being fed ads for hours on end, and then being able to use the tokens earned to buy things on FB and partner sites. Competitions will give out these tokens, the whole Meta experience will be like a casino, you'll be bombarded with giveaways and comps and virtual scratch cards you find on the floor. But decentralised finance? Nah. People won't trust it, and the recent rug pulls and scam coins will simply reinforce this to punters. And to be honest, it's no more than crypto deserves. It's the wild west right now. Good luck onboarding the masses to the metaverse without FB, Microsoft, Sony, Google or Amazon.
  4. The stock market had a mad day, wild swing not seen since March 2020. What followed from March 2020 to March 2021 in crypto was non-stop bull. Could be totally inconsequential, but this stuff often loops and repeats, against seemingly all logic.
  5. If Burnley, Newcastle and Everton go down it would be like winning a trophy. I don't tend to pay much mind to the relegation fight each season but this looks fucking brilliant when you throw in mad teams like Leeds and Brentford, could be some great games ahead.
  6. I don't give a fuck about Boris, the bigger issue is the Tory Party full stop. I saw Kwasi Kwarteng on GMB this morning and he appalls me as much as Boris, as does Schapps, as does Raab, as does Dorries, as does Truss, etc. And then, fuck me when was the last time you saw the chancellor? Seriously, it's probably been three months. All of them need to be ejected, it's fucking embarrassing.
  7. Ha ha, they're giving out £500 today for energy bills. What a time to be alive.
  8. We BEAT Covid...if you ignore the couple hundred deaths per day. Shameless puddle of shite. I expect a few more surprise treats for us this week as he goes on a charm offensive to dampen down the flames.
  9. He's not thick, but I think he overestimated the impact his revelations would have. And he's partly to blame for that. But fundamentally I think he's on the right track, and yes he was a gun for hire and that's a shitty thing to do but I think he's a big part of the *big shrug* reaction to his insights.
  10. Or the fire service, or the police, fuck me even the RNLI is a charity. Make it all run on donations. From poor people. And still fucking complain about who the RNLI choose to save. There's a generation of fucking weirdos out there who need their tax-payer funded inflated positions exposed for the joke they are. "I'm rich, why can't you all work hard and be rich too, like me?" Well, for someone who buys a newspaper everyday you don't seem to have read or understood any of the finance section. None of it. You just live in a magical semi-detached house that doubles in value every 10 years. We can't break the spell unless we build two million homes. But don't worry, the Tories are in the Wizard Society too. There's a real Bollinger Band situation brewing now.
  11. Look, I'm obviously full of hate for the man and for his party, but I'm tiring of the partygate thing. I'm tired of journalists asking the same questions about a 'work event' and 'wine fridges' and asking if he's going to resign if the random person he paid to write a report finds him guilty of whatever the fuck it is she's being paid to look at. It's all a fucking nonsense, top to bottom, journos to number 10. As if THIS is the missing piece of the jigsaw. He's a piss machine, and he's probably on the nose beer as well, Christ knows some of his cabinet are and there's enough of it on parliament grounds to start a cartel apparently, to the point the Speaker had to intervene. Did the cunt even get ill with Covid or was that a stunt? I genuinely thought he was ill, but as time has gone on I now suspect it was a fucking hoax. But as long as he's not smeared as an anti-Semite he has a fighting chance of being exonerated and put on the next £10 note. I saw an interview with Dominic Grieve yesterday, he fucking hates Johnson. And yet Grieve is the one left licking his wounds after the interview, with a garden-variety Tory MP brought into the interview to 'balance it out', where Grieve was portrayed as a jilted lover with an axe to grind. Fuck me, Dominic Grieve, telling Tory MPs to kick him out and save what's left of the Tory Party before it's too late. "BOOOOO" says the New Tory movement. It's like Sulu being thrown off the Enterprise and a bunch of extras telling him he wasn't a proper Trekkie.
  12. I'm in on ORN, see you at the party Richter
  13. It's interestingly another area connected to my thoughts on using the Brave browser, which generates free BAT (Basic Attention Token), which is a crypto, which your browser wallet stores and allows you to cash-in or gift to creators who have a Brave account. You basically sell your ad-viewing time. The same money that the web ad-vendors make now for your eyeballs, you get a share of that money. It's a fucking brilliant system, and your browsing experience is faster, and less cluttered, and your data is secure. Now...you aren't going to get rich from hoarding BAT, but if you value the BBC then you could choose to donate your BAT to it. So, free money, and it supports the things you love, rather than using a law to demand you pay the BBC for creating anti-Corbyn ending credits on Newsnight in the run up to a GE.
  14. Anything else you want to shill? Where do you get your early info on things? I trade on Coinbase so my options are limited. Must say, BAT looks very promising. I'm sold on the idea of a browser generating and managing some crypto, and being able to donate it to creators. I think Usher should look into it for this site. For now I'm looking for a 3x crypto in the next 2 months or so, any suggestions?
  15. Why is NCT is a good buy? Does it do something other tokens do not? Are you just shilling a bag to us?
  16. Gomez, Van Dijk, Matip, Konate, Phillips are the best collection of 5 CBs at any club in the world. Laporte, Ake, Dias, Stones, ... Nope. Rudiger, Christensen, Silva, Azpilicueta, Sarr... Nope. So, I guess you could make a case for selling Gomez if a staggering offer came in. He's a brilliant CB and way too young to be writing off.
  17. Trent obviously needs to get more central and shoot more. If the team can't help cover him at RB to do that then we need a new RB and Trent needs to play centrally. People can kid themselves all they like about his best position, it's clear he's got 10 goals a season in him, easily. You pay £100m for a midfielder like that.
