Well I suppose the issues are that with reporting restrictions then there is a potential lack of transparency and accountability for the whole criminal justice system. This could be open to abuse down the line even if it were implemented for all the right reasons.

And the prize for the shittest life goes to....

The clue's in my sig.

I haven't been abroad for about 7 years. Unless you count Scotland (or Teesside).

Yeah, I take the point and agree with the sentiment but, apart from being unrealistic with the 24 hour news, all encompassing social media etc., it also opens up a whole other can of worms.

It would have a horrible knock-on effect for race relations too.

£2k more ffs

And on the way out, after taking one look at you

Yeah, I'm pretty cynical about most things but I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't happened a lot more often in this country in recent years.

I love Roger Moore. RIP

And he's on a free of course.

It's the comedy account having a go at the football one

The thing is (and it's probably too early to talk about it) people are happy with extra security at first, then complacency comes in, then it's just a hassle etc. Also, could you imagine trying to stop that at somewhere like SJP on a match day? It's virtually impossible imo. They'll always find another, new soft target I think. Obviously I would want all reasonable precautions to be taken and so on.

Aye, send her to Cook Islands for a few weeks. I think you're right though, they've done the whole hatchet job on Corbyn. I also think that, because it's the General Election and all the blanket coverage that entails (not to mention the impressive way Corbyn is handling himself) it means that if they try and associate Corbyn with the IRA etc. then instead of it just becoming a 'truth' then he has ample opportunity to explain precisely what he has said in the past and why he took a particular stance.

Yes, there was something about this which I found really hard to take. Particularly the age of those targetted I guess.

Think preventing a Tory majority would be huge success when you look at where he / Labour were when the election was called. I think if the polls continue to show a narrowing of the gap then things will get nasty. That will go one of two ways with the smearing of Corbyn being a success or it backfiring as people see it for what it is. I think the latter isn't inconceivable.

It would be worth it just to see the reaction of Hopkins tbh

As a pet?

I knew you were 'avin' a larf. So was I. FMFFS

Obvs

Corbyn having decent policies but a lack of leadership qualities is an absolute revelation like

Taking the discussions with Wolfy a bit too seriously iyam

She looks like she's just been dug up as well

People have talked about Corbyn a lot over the past couple of years but he looks much more confident and professional than May at present. He's a far better orator and he doesn't duck questions. It really feels like she's beginning to be unveiled as the fraud a lot of us on here thought her to be. I'm not exactly expecting her to lose the election or anything but she looks more shambolic with each interview / public appearance. I think she reveals a wider problem at Westminster, i.e. a dearth of decent politicians.
