  1. Full of Londonistas and European beggers last time I was there. Rubbish lying around on the streets and polluted seafront. My kraft ale was served in a jam jar. Nuke from orbit.
  2. He's completely right. 'Safe spaces' is a ridiculous concept apart from the proviso he adds reg physical safety.
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km_IMHrvvus
  4. It started with a kiss.
  5. It begins. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/27/clive-lewis-denies-registering-websites-for-labour-leadership-bid
  6. Vertigo and Third Man weren't even nominated.
  7. Yeah Captain Fantastic was the other one that really surprised me. Good film.
  8. La La Land getting best Cinematography is lax. Hacksaw Ridge had the best colour palette and colour grading with attention given to getting a digital shoot to look like Kodachrome of that era. http://www.cinematographer.org.au/cms/page.asp?ID=22425
  9. Blacks won't get anything for another 20 years now.
  10. Thought Moonlight was awful. Tired gay cliches put through the black blender. Hacksaw Ridge and Manchester by the Sea were the best films with the best performances. Would have been funny if the announcement had taken longer to rectify and the whole of the Liberal left and Blacktivists had taken to twittah...

  12. The euro is a silent killing machine. We basically had the best deal not being in it and being in the single market. That should have been Labour's message.
  13. Scots are clueless. Would be wiped out if they had to join the Euro. It's a very over valued currency and it's a hard currency* (not floating like the pound) with strings attached from ECB and Mama Merkel. *The value of the Euro is being kept artificially high by QE and Bond buying by the ECB, it comes with the added benefit of destroying your ability to compete as the Southern Europeans have found out. That Italian washing machine went from costing 25% less than the German one to only a bit less once the Euro fed into the manufacturing costs chain and sale price. Can't devalue your way out either. Germany doesn't have to compete with China or the far east anymore it just wipes out the weaker EU economies and loads them up with loads of regulation and financial rules that suffocate them. No more Euro disco for them. Raging unemployment amongst the youth of Sothern Europe can't be fixed now because the rules stop those countries throwing money at it - borrowing too much against GDP or devaluing. Have a new fucking arts center instead you cunts!
  14. The problem for the Labour Party and in some ways Corbyn (who is a Brexiter if you go by his past record) is that those who have identified themselves as 'left behind' or worried about mass immigration/jobs are the traditional Labour voters in the North/some coastal towns. The South which actually swung it was the leafy suburb Tories/Upwardly mobile for whom 'nationalism' - 'taking back control' were the core issues. This mix is almost impossible to manage with one coherent message...Labour didn't have the will or the ideation to craft the complex message with reg to remaining in the EU. The sheer density and vortex of the information pool overwhelmed the undecided who basically voted with their gut not having the relevant data to analyse. Can we survive outside the single market? Of course we can. It is one country that can do it with its historical international relationships of language, customs and old trading connections. Germany for instance in our position outside the EU and without the Euro would enter a far worse crisis with its exports suddenly (like they used to be) very expensive and over engineered. If those dopey federalists had given Cameron something to bring back with reg to immigration or Blair had taken the 7 year opt out on Eastern European immigration Brexit would never have happened. The EU simply won't compromise even as push back comes from Italy and France. The more there is resistance the more they come out with more Federalism ie Euro army and tax harmonization etc.. The Banks will get a deal anyway.
