The reality though:

fucking scandalous. tragically though not unsurprising giving the justice system in this country is on its fucking knees and is going to get worse. gutted for the families.

Meanwhile, the wall in ewerk’s sod house…

He’s too busy ruining the Newcastle skyline and kicking tramps off bridges.

Moaning because he's mentioned Newcastle in it. Well, two things; 1. They're guilty of bringing us into nigh on every football conversation, so turn about's fair, no? 2. It's a national newspaper, people need to be reminded exactly who Sunderland are. Newcastle's local "rivals" is a useful short cut.

This lad's book on the disaster is harrowing & brilliant; "and the sun shines now"

Meh, they’ve banned me from the potato shop for that very reason.

Any of the older lads on here remember John Tudor breaking his jaw whilst playing for us? I have a memory of him being interviewed for Look North from his hospital bed, poor fucker could barely speak and his face was more swollen than ewerk’s cock in a potato shop.

Shaky Hand Gang don’t convict their own, do they?

British law at its best - completely blank slate allowing all the old lies to be used again by his defence.

Duckinfield not guilty of gross negligence manslaughter. He tokd the first lie, that the fans had forced their way into the ground by breaking down the exit gate into the leppings lane end. The judge in his summing up said that this established fact wasn't proof of guilt. The jury though found that he wasn't alone in being guilty of the offence and believed the defence case that Duckinfield alone shouldn't be singled out for prosecution. Someone a lot cleverer than me is going to have to explain this particular parcel of fuckin shit.

And this is what terrifies me and why I am proud to be a fanny about politics. If the tories win the next election by a large majority it won't just be welfare, education, and the NHS that cops it. It will be all our institutions, including the media and judiciary, and very possibly parliament itself. Its honestly possible we will suffer an irreversible hit and I admit I'm scared shitless of the prospect.

I mean they sort of have to mention us tbh, without mentioning that they’re our local rival no one would know who the scruffy cunts are.

Finally. A new arena so the Stereophonics and WWE can't be double booked.

What an absolute disgrace

That was one of the first posters I had as a kid, next to one of Supermac on his own.

I know this isn't going to happen but how awesome would it be if they did it.

I think most of us on here have already lost faith. FTR my post was meant as a flippant remark rather than a personal attack, apologies if it came across as such. Your comment about the lady at work unfortunately is the reason that Labour are behind at the moment. The general public simply do not like Jeremy Corbyn and that stretches across the political spectrum. I posted a poll the other day showing that the public saw Johnson as much more honest than Corbyn and that is set against Johnson's track record of lying about everything his entire life. This is a man who won't even acknowledge how many children he has sired FFS. 'Corbyn doesn't like the Queen', well at least he didn't lie to her face in order to shut down parliament for five weeks. But again, that sort of thing doesn't cut through. Partly because of his treatment by the right wing media and partly because he isn't politically/electorally intelligent. I've said before that if you took the Labour manifesto and gave it to a leader who had a bit of charisma and nous then Labour would be romping home because their vision for the country is infinitely better than what the Tories are offering. For me the problem is that he is so adored by the momentum types that they cannot countenance that that feeling wouldn't be shared by the public at large. They've said 'wait until he announces his policies' and 'wait until you see him on the campaign trail' but none of that has borne any fruit. Of course it's too late to do anything about that. My fear is that the Labour membership will repeat the same mistake again and put someone like RLB or Piddock in charge when both of them have the same problem, they're just not likeable to the general public. If you look at the Labour shadow cabinet then I think the only candidates with the charisma needed are McDonnell and Starmer. Starmer of course probably isn't far enough to the left and neither of them are ideal but I can't see the grassroots opting for anyone from the back benches.

Absolute lies! Except it's true.......apart from the finishing 3rd bit.

Spot on Here they were in the hands of the legal establishment, watching a stripped-down framing of another new set of truths, as if nothing had ever been decided or admitted before, in 30 years. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/nov/28/how-david-duckenfield-trial-left-hillsborough-families-distraught-again

“ Chip and Dip- €3”

My first thought.

I’ll definitely click on that. Looks completely legit

I wouldn't have thought there would be enough land between the sage & the Baltic for a modern arena... I expect wykiki is all over this fucker too 😬

Wrong thread, you fucking idiot.

Yeah, I think any PR system would have to be based on the four countries rather than the UK as a whole. Although if the SNP were on a nationwide party ballot I bet they'd do surprisingly well in the rest of the UK.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-50582708 The timing of this.

It would have to be Stokes, and he has probably matured enough now to handle it. It may be better to have someone who understands the pressures on bowlers, albeit not the main bowlers (e.g. Anderson or Broad who would waste DRS), so that someone like Archer is not over-used, but given short sharp spells and told to run in and pitch it up as fast as possible.

Oh ye of little faith

@wykikitoon, your services are needed.

I said in work this morning...something along the lines of “fucking hell Labour have just released a 451 page dossier detailing the governments plans to sell the NHS” A lady responded - “Yes....but Corbyn doesn’t respect the queen though does he?”

Apologies to @ewerk for name calling by the way. I’m just very, very, very frustrated & I’m trying my best not to lose faith in this country.

I wouldn't worry too much about this tbh. I mean it looks absolutely shite, but the Best4Britain MRP closed 3 days before the YouGov one and showed an 82 seat majority. This one shows 60-odd - aye it's done on a different model, but this one better factors in the Labour bounce in recent days and is possibly suggestive of a good trajectory for Labour. I think it'll be much, much closer than this on the night. Two weeks to go, plenty time for Labour to make gains and flip some of these super thin marginals back in their favour. Basically, don't be soft shites. All is not lost. The Tories are now shitting it at the prospect of people staying home and expecting a big majority. Good.

Johnson does what’s good for Johnson isn’t exactly a surprise to me tbh. BBC must’ve missed that part of his life when he was a venal self serving cunt ie all of it

Not a fucking chance the BBC will do that.

Clive James was a regular supplier of clips with CHEBS on them. A great hero to teenage boys.

'Honestly luv, I was only trying to get some sun on my arsehole' [/Monkeys Fist]

It is when you factor in the stupidity and stubbornness of people in this country.

Aye, it's the Jews.

it's actually much harder to answer the question the way he tried to, than to simply shut down brillo's line of attack and apologise. stubborn old fool

HMHM isn’t a c

Over 75s registering to vote ffs. That’d be like if I made all of us watch a shit film and then left halfway through.
