  1. Mmm Good Question. OK. I am Atletico de Madrid Supporter. This is first point. You should know, Atletico was a big club in the past (70s and 90s) in recent years... but with a bad president we get relegated in 1999. We stop winning titles... and pass very bad years until Simeone's comeback. More or less in 2004 (I was 12 years old) I watched a Newcastle match in TV. I was amazed with the team, the fans, the stands... People. I don't know. This crazy looks like very similar to Atletico. I can say I felt somethings inside to me with this black and white stripes. And I felt in love. I started to follow the team and in 2007 I get my first Newcastle Jersey. Yes... The season we was relegated I saw every single match and I suffered every minute... The team is very similar to me to Atlletico. The passional fans, the environment, the corrupts boss... I can not wait to go to St James Park And I can say... I am Newcastle fan before Ayo, Manquillo, Gámez, Rafa, José Enrique, Xisco, Joselu... Even Luque!

  2. See my problem is with labels like ‘Blairite’ and ‘centrist’. It means that you can easily dismiss people without actually having to do any research into seeing what they do stand for. It’s a lazy position that seems to have crept in from the left. You say there’s a rise in populism but that’s partly being fuelled by this belief in that you’re either right wing or far left and if you don’t agree with my views on everything then you’re automatically a cunt. Life and politics isn’t as straightforward as that.

  3. Ok I’ll bend over and accept my arse kicking ewerk Am not aware of her voting record and am fucked if I’m googling it in a desperate attempt to make myself look clever on the internet. The circumstances of her appointment appear to be disputed if what I read at the weekend is true. In my opinion she’s plainly a centrist in the Blairite mould. As I’ve said in the past I never voted for him because I thought he was basically just another fuckin Tory. That feeling remains with Chukka & the rest of the fuckin chickens. They don’t seem to have realised that this 50 year argument on the Tory back benches has changed politics in his country forever. Populism is on the rise all over Europe. I think we’re stuck with it and the sort of corporate friendly fuckwittery of 20 years won’t win another election in this country for the foreseeable future.

  4. University (3 degrees?) then straight into management consultant role then parachuted into a safe northern constituency she plainly thought was her “right” to represent, just because it would benefit her career path. I’d prefer politicians with at least some life experiences that the vast majority of the electorate can relate to. Westminter is chock full of these types and it’s to the detriment of our democracy iyam.

  5. It's because of the way that bloke dances around his stupidity that he's there today. The correct approach would have been "No cunt, you're wrong. I'm literally saying the opposite of what you think is correct. Listen ffs. You fucking orange cripple." Something like that.

  10. By the way, sorry for my English... I am Spanish. I am registered in the forum since 2010, but I almost have never wrote because my English is very poor and take to me a lot of time to translate and understand the work of the website.... But I am going to try to spend more time with you!

  12. I’d hardly say Leicester’s football is effective considering they’re about 3 points off our little relegation mini league. They’re wasting Vardy, Maddison has went right off the boil, Chilwell is doing well but players like Ndidi, Choudary (sp?), Ricardo and Gray are either playing within themselves or playing out of position. Obviously, it’s impossible to say how much of it is due to the helicopter crash but they should be comfortably around 7th with the players they have.

  13. Well, looking at it logically, if I can't vote for an MP that has a grounding in normal life + good policies, then I may as well vote for one with good policies. If you'd asked me a couple of years ago then I think the 'ordinary guy' thing would have been less significant - having seen the total failure of someone who has 'good policies' and still seems to willfully throw the country over the cliff edge for the sake of a political gain, I say again, I can see PL's view.

  14. I recall a great deal of frustration with George Osborne about the fact he was the chancellor on the back of having a history degree and never having worked a day in his life in terms of ordinary jobs. I don't know how true the idea that she will lose her seat at the next GE is, but surely that weakens your position if true, suggesting that people vote for parties instead of individuals (which I personally feel is mostly true with some exceptional outliers). And again, PL (without putting words in his mouth, but we seem fairly aligned atm) is talking about her being a symbol of the general malaise and disconnect between parliament and the public. Maybe some grounding in what it's actually like to live under most of their policies as a normal person would be a useful experience for many MPs. Whether the public vote for her or not, as we see with Brexit, does not mean they're necessarily voting in their interests.
