I didn't know that. His parents moved straight after they married and she was sent back to Sunderland to give birth to him. His dad must have been a zealot (Nothing wrong with that albeit for them).
-
In reality he was from Glasgow and lived the rest of his life in Yorkshire so fuck knows why he "supported" them - having said that he started in the 30s when the cunts were good so must have been a glory hunter.

James Herriot (dead obviously) , Menzies out of Angelic Upstarts. Martin O'Neill (He he).

I'm fucking off to Corfu on the 28th for a week - probably just enough time for some kind of shitstorm to hit.

Hate to say it but working class voters who don't understand the intricacies of trade and economics and are being swayed by the immigration arguments look like swaying it at the moment. Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

That lass in Prometheus fought two ridiculous aliens two minutes after abdominal surgery so anythings possible.

I really hope that she is "allowed" to be criticised without recourse to accusations of misogyny but I fear it's going to be the case. I agree a woman president is a good thing in its own right but it still should be someone worthy - comparisons to Thatcher come to mind in that sense.

Both Sanders and Trump have tapped into the anti-politics that seems prevalent throughout the western world. As you say Clinton is the antithesis of this which does give Trump a chance. If the people who supported Sanders are disillusioned enough to not vote for her or at all then she may struggle if the attacks hit home. I didn't think Sanders had a real chance, though polls suggest otherwise, but I did hope Clinton would be forced to adopt some of his policies to gain support. If she does that then fair enough but I think her paymasters and personality suggest she won't and we'll see a president who's more aligned with Bush than Obama. Not that I think the latter has lived up to the promise either of course.

U turns on gay rights and trade agreements, speeches to wall St she won't release, support for military intervention in Libya, Syria and Iran. Fanatical backing of Israel. If you want to chuck in racism, remember her remarks when Obama had the temerity to hijack her last attempted ascendency.

It's sad to see so many being blind on the basis of her gender being the most important thing and not the fact she's a warmongering, neo-liberal cunt. There's a good video showing her blatantly lying over same sex marriage, trade agreements and being shot at in Bosnia which somebody must have taken ten minutes to make. It'll be good when the professionals Trump will pay get their chance to attack her.
-
The email server thing should disqualify her on the basis of stupidity alone but that's a test too far in American politics.
-
To be honest, I'm beginning to think that Clinton is so vile it would be quite funny if Trump won just to see her explode.

Happy days - just after Robson had dropped Keegan hence the anti-Bobby chants

There's a thing in the Guardian about people in south Wales turning to ukip and it's depressing to see people blaming their miserable circumstances which are due to 35 years of neoliberal capitalism on immigration and by extension the EU. As others have pointed out even if eu immigration and indeed non-Eu were halted tomorrow or even reversed, there's still absolutely no plan to revive their fortunes in any way whatsoever.

Read the bit about forcing foreign workers to be paid via a pre-paid debit card with a £10 a month charge only £2 of which is the real service charge. Tremendous level of cuntishness.
-
For what it's worth the economic research/analysis department where I work is strongly pre-remain. I know the banks are generally villains but they do know some useful stuff.

There's a lot of batshit theories about saying it's not her but the waif with a face on which I don't see myself. Also if the head cheese decides the waif has disobeyed his orders to make it quick, he might help Arya - I think they have access to weird shit.
-
There's an Indian lad who sits opposite me who's very much pro-out on immigration grounds funnily enough but then again he doesn't support any kind of welfare state or workers rights as he's a complete cunt so it isn't surprising really.
-
Another plot setup ep this week which I enjoyed - hopefully full on from now to the end. I always seem to forget what an excellent character Ollena is - she certainly has Cersei nailed. Liked the kid who runs the Lindisfarne rip-off.
-
I finished Hannibal last week which I really enjoyed - it got a bit weird as it went on but still hit the mark for what I was looking for. I've tried Daredevil but 2 eps in I've had enough - not enough imagination and I don't like his sidekick lawyer so I think I'll stop there. After Hannibal I think I've been inspired by Ms Anderson so will switch to the recent X-Files and The Fall.

My base instinct has always been to see the UK as part of something large enough to compete with China, India, the US and any other emerging mass entity. A little UK outside of that mass will be stomped on imo.

Just watching the end of Beverly Hills Cop for no reason and I'd completely forgot that Mike out for Breaking Bad was the main heavy.

Shades of Keegan/Shola here which is a good sign. As others have said his heart was in the right place and he served us well at times but right decision now for everyone.
