The Utter Beige v Colback's Used Nickleback Tampax Suckers
NJS replied to sammynb's topic in Newcastle Forum
Aye I noticed that - having a dodgy keeper is one thing but giving the ball away stupidly and it leading to corners putting pressure on said keeper is just as shit. -

Have to say I'm not impressed by Diame so far - one ball against Bristol City aside, I think he's been invisible when not missing chances. -

Shit finishing, shit keeper. -
It wasn't just pfi - they outsourced and encouraged an internal market in the name of "choice" and allowed hospitals to engage with private Healthcare firms. All of these were "signallers" to what's going on now and intended for the future I wouldn't regard it as "safe" under a Smith government.

New Labour did nothing to prevent privatisation and in fact encouraged it - and thats exactly the direction you want them to go in to win power.

59% of full members voted for Corbyn according to Robert Peston.

I'm a complete fanny when it comes to music - if it doesn't move you - from joyful ecstacy all the way to tears and all points in between then what's its point? Anyway a few: Running to stand still - U2 St Swithins day - Billy Bragg Thief - Belly Full of Grace - Sarah McLachlan 1000 blue Caribou - Drugstore -

Apart from the minimum wage there isn't one NL policy that John Major wouldn't have happily endorsed.
-
Allowed the demonisation of benefit claimants. Didn't reverse union reforms which may have prevented the explosion of zero hour contracts. Used PFI to fund the NHS crippling trusts and opening the door to privatisation. No social housing policy which expanded the prison of renting and the debt mountain. Revelled in immigration increase with no thought for how it would affect their core voters. Bottled social reforms and decreased privacy rights. Embraced the city and didn't even attempt to rebalanced the economy. Worshipped "wealth creators" like Branson and Green.
-
There's a lot of appetite for nationalisation and support of the NHS and I think anyone who doesn't support more social housing is beyond even centrist thinking. There are "unpalatable" policies but I think a reasoned debate about trident is long overdue and blind patriotism which feeds most views should be challenged. It won't change the older generation pov but I think younger people would be more amenable. Changing your principles and policies to suit focus groups is exactly what led to NL doing nowt for the working class.

I don't see what his personal life has to do with his appeal - most PMs have something "dodgy" about them which have been a lot worse than nerdy hobbies. His policies on housing, education, state investment and worker stakeholding are all excellent and way beyond the "semi decent" goals of other left leaning parties past and present.
-
Every time Billy Bragg writes for the Guardian, the first comment will tell him to fuck off back to his Dorset mansion because obviously only if he lived in a council flat in Barking would his views be worth reading.
-
I do actually agree with that but there is nobody at present who could.

From a party that broke every promise and sold their arses for power.

He said Labour establishment. I've fully admitted my hypocrisy on that before - I like being reasonably well paid too much and don't think that in itself is against my principles. Working for a bank, albeit one of the less evil ones, is "dodgy" I acknowledge. As I've also said before, my Dad taught me that in your day to day life you look after yourself and your family and when it comes to an election you vote to look after everyone else. I try to include not fucking anyone over in the first aim.
-
Because they did nowt in 13 years to counteract Thatcherism and allowed the myth of crashing the economy to become enshrined. (Yes I count Milliband as NL).
-
The establishment of Watson, Munich, Benn, Johnson and the Kinnocks. The working classes you mention were betrayed by Blair in pursuit of the centrist voters. Those voters even if they elected Corbyn would demand payback in the form of NL policies which again exclude the working class. Only way forward is alliances of anti-tory parties.
-
A sensible chap whose organisation conspired with the banks to rate utter shit as triple A and massively contribute to the crisis as a result.
-
From what you've said about policies you support which I can see is very much new labour, I think Farron's stance of offering a refuge for centrist voters might appeal - of course you'd run the risk of supporting tory enablers as well.

Must be quite Britain based - they've been filming near my workplace near St Paul's for a couple of weeks.

Colossal Collection of Cunterheads v Wolves - Sat 17 Sept @ 3pm
NJS replied to Happy Face's topic in Newcastle Forum
Brighton did have a shit load of draws - a few runs of 5 or 6 wins with one defeat would see us through. -
There was an inferior sequel to Westworld called Futureworld which showed more "worlds" within the park. Wouldn't have fancied a go with a sexbot if they short circuited halfway through and their face came off - or they decided to kill you.

Hate to say it but if stokoe took them down then Benitez relegated us.
