It makes sense if he's not willing to spend much and isn't that arsed about Benitez staying in the long term. Actually that doens't make sense but Ashley's mindset rarely does

How minor are we talking?

@Park Life

Bit odd of you to announce your own arrival

Perfectly put.

Farage did say we could be like Norway or Switzerland before the referendum. Not that he had any power over how Brexit could be implemented.

It was fucking advertised as a soft Brexit. Incredible to suggest otherwise.

That's bolloclks. You can't possibly argue people voted for something different to that which they were told they would get.

I'd also add that if he's so principled, why didn't he campaign under the banner of hard Brexit?

Shush, adults are talking

A certainty for the Tories but they couldn't secure a majority? Meenzer already answered the other bit

Another way of looking at that is he might've won with a few relatively small compromises to those principles

She advertising his services as male escort?

He's spent his career on the backbenches (a bit like Skinner) being so 'principled' he's not actually able to make any real positive impact on the lives of his constituents. By carrying this over into his leadership in a manner which makes him less likely to be elected than were he to 'play the game' a bit he's effectively doing the same thing. Just my opinion, obviously. I'm incredibly frustrated with him, as you can probably tell.

I don't know. Like the average Mail reader, I've only seen the headline

There's a difference between devotion to your principles and hiding behind purported ones. Unbelievable comparison btw

I agree with you about the Mail but I barely recall hearing a whimper about it from the opposition which is more the point. Perhaps I've missed it and I'm being unfair but I've got to the stage now where I think Corbyn's a coward who hides behind his 'principles' when it comes to attacking May et al on issues such as this. You know, all that decency bollocks which sounds nice, but in practice is about as much use Anne Frank's drum kit

Giving a bit too much credit there iyam

On BBC Breakfast this morning it was on about the headline of the Mail which focussed on that 100 year old lady who died after being mugged and the rise in violent crime in general (up 50% in some areas supposedly). It brought to mind Cameron's successful 'Broken Britain' rhetoric but what really struck me is how we've got to the point that the Daily fucking Mail is more effective at attacking a shambolic Tory government than the opposition is.

He'll go for Sammynb big money and Benitez will get Family Fortunes big money

Have a drink, man

Still, something to look forward to

Clubs I mean

The King of Cunts

Aye, it’s one of them things you dismiss until it happens to you then you realise it can knack
