Remember sneaking in a half bottle of whisky when me and a couple of mates went to see Flesh Gordon 2.

Hopefully he'll still be playing for us if he does

Fair enough

You wanted him to win though

I think if you have a genuine issue with the gesture by Starbucks than you must have pretty much an issue with everything in a society which, by your own admission, has served you well. Perhaps Starbucks should give all their profits to charity. No doubt you do the same with most of your spare cash. So that kind of self-satisfied bollocks is canny naseating, aye. It'll probably do more good than harm to the people who get a job there. People struggling to find work in a country they've just arrived in. So Starbucks get some publicity out of it. I can live with that tbh.

I know, I was gutted when I found out

More nauseating than smug middle class scepticism? Nah

Those refugees would definitely be better off without a job instead of working at Starbucks whilst studying to try and better themselves or something like that.

Well, getting angry on the internet about it won't do any good, will it?

FFS

Don't kid yourself

By adopting that stance you're giving your tacit approval to the status quo anyway.

It's a combination of amusement and bemusement rather than anger but whatever. Supporting Corbyn in the first place was fine and he was certainly worth giving a chance under the circumstances and the lack of alternatives but continuing to support him is basically doing what he's doing, i.e. giving arguably the most ideological unpleasant government in living memory free reign. He's had his opportunity and all he's shown himself to be an abject failure as a potential PM. As for me, I don't have a lot of power to change things living in one of the safest seats in the country in a FPTP electoral system. I do wonder what your role will be once you and the student wankers who elected Corbyn get bored / grow up etc. You're fond of taking the piss out of the likes of Renton but, whether you like it or not, many long-term activists like him have been alienated. You'll probably expect them to pick up the pieces when Corbyn inevitably stands down just after or before the next GE. And do you seriously think what you've done, i.e. paid a small fee and but a cross in a box in any way compares to the contribution of people like that. Have a fucking word with yourself man :lol:

He's making your point for you really. Not that I agree that is what is happening but, by his argument, If the bloke is so 'principled' that he's forfeiting the chance to affect actual change in people's lives just so he doesn't have to compromise then he's a monumental cunt.

I might also add I think he's trying to get a win the next election with the poxy bits of policy him and his fucking shite advisors come up with as opposed to 'chucking' it because principles are more important than winning

I meant People who became members to elect Corbyn as leader. In retrospect I probably owe lots of them an apology

that last tweet absolutely nails it. For far too many people religion is just a justification for being a bigot

His policies barely matter because he's such a shit leader.the idea he could walk a GE even against this fucking joke of a government is so laughable I feel like I've wasted a bit of my life even replying even though I'm having a dump. I suspect your position is borne out of kidding yourself you and your ilk aren't at least partly responsible for giving the Tories free reign for the next decade or so

It would be hilarious if he ended up here

KK tried him in CM just before (pre-season) he was sold against his wishes iirc.

Had a look on wiki and both are true. Still, he certainly doesn't have that seering pace off the mark, so to speak. I suppose a bit like how, even when he was a bit over the hill, Sol Campbell was as quick as anyone at Arsenal when they did the tests over 100m. Doesn't mean he'd beat Walcott or Henry over 30 yards.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere he was a cross-country champion rather than a sprinter as a kid, which woud certainly make more sense.
