I struggle to get my head round how stupid some people are. Many seem to think no deal is the end of negotiations with the EU. It’s just starting from scratch but from a position where we have significantly less leverage
-
Was at a talk-in recently and Lee Clark was absolutely raving about Longstaff. It’s just one opinion but he genuinely seemed to think he is going to be a top player
-
I don’t know what’s happened to this country when people are using ‘MVP’
-
He just keeps on making great business decisions.

No coincidence they stuttered when they were back playing in front of their ‘incredible’ home support.

Reminds me of the time Shearergol reckoned his Auntie ( I think) had a 2 star Michelin restaurant and it turned out it was a 2 star guest house

When they’re not even protecting the interests of business, what is fucking the point of those horrible Tory cunts?
-
Ah, shit. Forgot about that. I must check it out on iPlayer

So is Souness

He knows what it’s like. He was black when he was in the army -
They’re both dinosaurs like.

Aye, I struggle to give a fuck either way
-
I’m no fan of Souness but I’m yet to hear him try and put those two things on an equal footing what the fuck was Strachan thinking?

Two sides to every story but, given what we already know, the claim that May is refusing to compromise is completely believable
-
Aye, I enjoyed that. I could probably watch Alan Arkin reading out the phone book though tbh
-
Could you imagine any other time when a petition garnering that many signatures was dismissed so readily? I’m a firm believer in conspiracy theories. The problem is that belief is tainted by association with people like Parky who believe in chemtrails.

That’s what’s so dodgy about the likes of Piers Morgan. I could see him just being an irresponsible contrarian cunt but, equally, something more sinister in his latest stance
-
Low paid journalists under pressure to produce copy and not able to check sources properly?

Also will the younger generation bother their arse and actually vote again this time? You can guarantee 94 year old Ethel will vote for No Deal if it fucking kills her. Parliament really should fucking sort this shit out. They’ve been passing the buck for 3 years with their will of the people bollocks like they’re absolutely sure what that is (that’s a generalisation but you’ll take my point). If you know what that really is why don’t you deliver it? Or perhaps admit it was a close vote with hugely nuanced reasons for the result and reflect that with a compromise? The argument there’s a mandate for the most extreme version of Brexit is as absurd as it is reckless
-
People are fucking thick, man. Why look into it yourself when Piers Morgan is telling you what’s what?

Another thing I’ve seen argued lately is that because Cameron warned about the prospect of no deal before the referendum, no deal is what people voted for. I mean, seriously? So, the same people who claim everything else Cameron’s government said about the referendum was ‘Project Fear’ claim that they didn’t believe all the promises Leave made about great deals being made to the UK’s advantage but instead believed that statement made by Cameron (who wanted us to stay in). That’s what you’re attempting to engage with in these sorts of debates. These people have convinced themselves that things which are demonstrably lies are the absolute truth. As I’ve said before it’s a shame you couldn’t have two countries where you had the no deal zealots in one and everyone else in the other. I wonder how many of them would actually go for it. Probably about as many people as went on Farage’s march. And, just like that, Farage wouldn’t be one of them
-
The thing is about Morgan, he doesn’t even believe the shit he spouts most of the time (and this is almost certainly true in this instance). He’s just the worst kind of irresponsible populist, saying what he thinks people want to hear knowing he’ll be fine come what may.
-
There was something I read a while back which I also think I mentioned on here about a lot of the comments on there coming from mail employees rather than members of the public. Wouldn’t surprise me at all

Just like you then
