I caught ten seconds of Johnson on the news and the overwhelming impression I got was of someone who doesn't care about the issue but is simply using it to try and further himself politically.
-
I agree on the most poor countries. I've read that a single veto can prevent membership so I think even a consensus towards turkey joining would be stopped by several countries - Cyprus and Greece to name but two.

I think there's an element of people's experiences which forms their opinion - a lot of these working class areas tend towards a negative view of EU immigrants whereas for me working with Germans, French and yes Polish people has been very positive. I do wish more British people would see European as part of their identity as I think it's apparent how much we have in common. As I've said before I think we have layers of tribal identity which starts small and goes all the way to planet level. I don't think there's anything wrong with European being one of those levels. On immigration I'd say that I count myself as an economic migrant albeit internally who moved 300 miles for a better life. The lad next to be moved 12000 miles - I don't see that much difference really though I accept that shared culture helps.

Saw a gif taking the piss showing the bit where he asks Sansa what he should do and she says "Don't do what he wants you to do" and he replies "good advice" then does exactly what Ramsay wants him to do.

His dad left for KL before he started any training I think.

It's nice to think of Johnson touring the country to apologise to those whose lives had been ruined by his recession. This is a cunt who called a 250k salary chicken feed.
-
I think the relatively happy ending was a bit too much in show context so there had to be a price. Even if Jon had got there in time to save him he wouldn't have been able to get back to his lines and it's doubtful Rickon could have survived the battle.
-
Best complaint is that Sansa fucked off before Ramsay mentioned not feeding his dogs.
-
Zig zag versus quickest/shortest route to Jon. But Aye overall.

I watched it before leaving for work this morning - Sky show it at 2am to coincide with the US so I record it then. It's canny like.
-
I didn't see it but apparently someone said to Cameron on QT "prime minister you're relying on experts" as an insult. It brings to mind the US Republican type of distrust of intelligence and pride in ignorance and stupidity (think Palin) and it's terrible to see it prevalent in the UK. Of course we have a proponent of that stance around here somewhere......

Plans in place Firstly there will be a massive task to disengage eu law from British law - a huge task in itself. The two year thing has nothing to do with trade - it's just to negotiate the exit. The trade agreements will take years.

I think even if remain wins by a Scotland like margin in the end, he's still finished when people wake up to how stupid it all was even leaving the campaigns aside.
-
Boris or any other brexiter - they're all cunts even by Tory standards. "No top down reorganisation pf the NHS" - followed by the Health and Patient care act which makes it a legal rquirement to tender all services - and that was by your cunt let alone Boris.
-
Like Johnson won't sign that. (Might be a separate equivalent treaty but the idea is still ludicrous).
-
Saw a couple of tweets with the poster along side identical ones used by the Nazis in the 30s. Farage defending it saying it's a real photo as of that makes it OK.
-
Finished the X-Files reboot. It was OK but I didn't see the point. If it was going to always just be 6 Eps then they should have put more effort into making 6 blockbusters and if the idea was to garner interest for a full season then they could have done better motw Eps. Far too shallow and ultimately unsatisfying.

I used to quite like Coldplay but was put off when I saw them at V about 12 years ago. Martin came on and killed any atmosphere by starting off at his piano pretending to be Elton John - I fucked off to the other stage.

Photon browser - does supposedly work on iPad.

On an old tablet I used to use something called Phoenix browser I think which emulated flash - that was on Android though.

Generic small time football blather thread 2015/16
NJS replied to The Fish's topic in Newcastle Forum
Resulting in a completely filled in black grid every day? -
I think the rumour was how much wildfire is in the city - I think Bran's vision and Jaime's reference to burning cities to the ground don't bode well for King's Landing. It's not as if Cersei care about the plebs. The trailer suggests a bad day for Jon going by his face but that could be how he'd look in victory when he realises the cost or maybe finding Rickon.

Thought this week's was good again. Would like to have seen the waif die even though they setup the blind fury thing the other week with Arya's sleeping place. They seem to be in two minds about Jaime by hinting he's going to be "honourable" but on a couple of times this season making it clear he only gives a fuck about Cersei. Seems strange the slave masters would attack as I think they got a good deal from Tyrion but I guess it's a plot device.
