Javid? I must be living in the past, I thought he was business secretary. He did that once, right? Now that you mention it I remember seeing his name all over various news reports that seem on the face of them to be dog whistle racism so I can see May's logic in who she chose. Actually that's probably one. I get the feeling he has stuck to her side on this shambles. May and Javid. And that little runt Williamson in defense I guess. People who should never have been promoted to the positions of power they hold, all united by incompetence.

I admit there is anti-semitism in Labour. I suppose I could be accused of being blind to the scale of the problem, but I'm not denying that it exists. What I have issue with, is that the only reason this story exists (maybe not for you, but certainly for most of the fucking press) is that it is literally the only thing they threw at Corbyn that seemed to stick. Anti-semitism in Labour will not be new and they've never given a fuck about it previously. I would need some serious convincing to actually believe that anyone in the press who is in charge of 'leading' these stories, really actually cares about it. And by all means do continue to post it, but it'd be helpful if someone (at the national media level) could also throw up the Islamophobia in UKIP and the Tories, as well as the garden variety racism, talking about it endlessly for months and applying extreme pressure on their respective leaders to do something about it. Although I daresay UKIP would consider it to be a badge of honour. For me it's all part of a narrative to make Labour look like it's been taken over by 'dangerous, radical left wingers' so that people like CT can compare them to Venezuela and fucking Stalin. I do not trust our press as far as I can throw them. If you posted actual stories from Jewish people in Labour (not MPs with agendas) who have been targetted by anti-semitism and who are posting in their own blogs or non-national media outlets... or on twitter or whatever, those I will trust so much more than the media. That's not me challenging you to do that by the way, I'm not saying those stories don't exist and that you won't find any, because clearly they will do. No smoke without fire, etc. But I'm going to be extremely cynical with the national media line on this, sorry.

You do that Gloom. And CT, I have nothing for you but a

She's an absolute disgrace and I cannot understand why she isn't being jettisoned. Is there actually anyone in government who even supports her? Hammond clearly doesn't. Does Hunt? I doubt he does more than he just wants to keep a government position in the end. Gove only cares about Gove and honest to fuck I don't even know who our Home Secretary is at the moment, domestic politics having been of such little importance over the past few months. Is it still Rudd (because May has now lost her too) or is it now some other random Tory woman? Who is actually in her corner on this?

So his view is that Anti-Semitism is a scourge, but that Labour have accepted the shafting they've had from the press over this too readily - I guess, thus making themselves look bad in the process, when in fact they do a lot of very positive anti-racist work which no fucker in the media gives a shit about because it doesn't get clicks. Well I mean, I am just outraged that this man had an opinion that doesn't follow the media line. Outraged. I assume he will be executed in the normal way, by use of Twitter.

Surely even the Tories are running out of patience with her mad fucking machinations now. She is one fucking person exerting her will upon the country as if she was a fucking dictator - and not even through personal strength ffs, she's doing it through being a snidey bitch. Have we not collectively run out of patience with her yet? Seriously?

This could be straight off RTG tbh.

I don't know if I think it's their ambition, I just mean that saving Everton, no club seems to be able to ward off relegation from outside the top 6 for more than about a decade.

You mean brave visionaries to lead us to a glorious, beige future /ewerk

Why wouldn't they just leave as soon as her deal fails to pass and he drops it then?

I mean, that vote is in a couple of weeks ewerk, what does doing that really buy him?

Presumably the same goes if it doesn't pass also... Depends what he means tbh, it sounds on paper better than the idea of only campaigning for one if her deal fails and we're looking at just falling out.

I'm not a great believer in this threat of civil unrest tbh. We're largely talking about overweight middle aged men. I think they'd calm down and fuck off in the end. Although I concede that there may be one or two individual and extreme acts.

Damn, ewerk's Spanish is impressive.

As a thought, can you imagine the Daily Mail if we not only got a second referendum, but actually won it. The comment section would be a thing of beauty.

Yeah I'm aware of this as i think everyone is. I just dont care as long as he campaigns for Remain.

If the EU are happy to give us an extension until 2021, that means we have time for a second referendum does it not? If that happens i wonder if this whole exercise, painful as it has been, has actually helped us. I mean if May had been even semi competent maybe such an outcome wouldn't have been possible. Appreciated it's a long fucking way off.

Some good news for us anyway.

Tbh in this case it was more that if he was exposed he might stop The hedging thing is generally true though

I just wondered if this guy is a mackem troll, as seems likely, if it might be easier to just expose him by doing that thing you do (or just confirm it tbh) so we can put this charade to bed.

All that matters to me is the situation with the EU. I'll work out how I feel about Corbyn once that's done, but if he's backing Remain then he has my support.

You should let us know if you ever in Newcastle, I'm sure one of us would be available to meet up for the game And as Looney says, your English is fine, don't worry about it.

Confirmed?

Not sure about the top 6... but otherwise yes. I think that's the point these days tbh.

Why do you follow Newcastle?
