No, they spent 5 years meekly accepting the Tory narrative on the economy in the hope that the swing voters who voted for Blair would return. They didn't because as you yourself pointed out, there was so little difference between their plans and the Tories, people just voted on milliband.

Exactly JJ - stop trying to appeal to the wrong people and try to appeal to the right ones for the right reasons.

Or just a huge split over the referendum. No kids harmed apart from the ones in poverty obviously.

That's what I was getting at and I think that's where a lot of his support is coming from, especially young people fucked over by the Tories. Ridiculously hopeful of course, but it would be great if all those telegraph cunts who supposedly signed up to vote for him to fuck labour, actually elected someone who could win. I think as Andrew said, it would be good if a labour party could win over people "properly" instead of demeaning themselves to chase mail/sun readers like Blair did and Brown tried to do.

As opposed to the image of the others as less than faux Tory bastards?
-
The swing voters who voted for Blair and didn't vote for Milliband probably wouldn't vote for Corbyn (and then again might not vote for the others anyway) but people who are more left wing who voted green might be tempted. There's also more than enough people who didn't vote at all to make a huge difference.

If you're keeping score I'd suspect British people have killed the most like. Fuck knows what's wrong with these people's lives that they think this shit makes them bigger men. Micro-penised cowards.
-
Absolute luddites - thing is he has advisers who should say "That's impossible you stupid cunt". Of course speaking to the Mail reading masses is the real point.
-
That's one claim. The other is it was against disco and especially the bee gees. The enduring popularity of both suggests punk failed on both counts.
-
I've had it since it started but I buy a ridiculous amout of stuff from them and can't stand other sites 2 or 3 days or 2 or 3 weeks delivery shite. They keep sending me emails saying I should use the video service but I haven't used it yet.
-
I know its the city badge but the dash of red and white kills it for me. I have nowt against them and their motives but I've never been able to my head around adults wearing strips in general.

Ferdinand's loss of form/arse in 95/96 was a huge factor in not winning the league but he's still a bigger hero of mine than Shearer. I also think the crook was an idiot for not playing Ferdinand more at Euro 96 considering his so called dream team with Sheringham ultimately failed.

"Mutual consent" - fucking hell.

I've been thinking about that Fred First quip on and off all day thinking I've developed dementia as I didn't get it then I've just sat down on the train home, opened this thread and facepalmed myself as it struck me. I even spent 5 minutes reading the cunt's wiki page earlier thinking, yeah his guitarist was definitely called Borland so that's not it.

I thought Evans signed for Everton?
-
My strict policy of leaving at 5 unless serious shit is flying has certainly cost me career/bonus wise but I don't give a fuck - that many lost hours (compared to what sad cunts do) over a year aren't worth a couple of grand.
-
Thought about designing/installing home automation/AV systems but don't think that's far enough away from the rat race.
-
October was semi-ruined by the lyric book being nicked just before recording which meant it was a bit half-arsed - they should have delayed it to allow more writing.
-
Boy is probably my favourite along with AB - its a good album about growing up and Bono is mainly pre- cock.
-
I quite like coldplay to a certain extent but I don't think they match U2's aggression ( mainly early) or depth. I do accept generally that U2 peaked years ago (up to and including Achtung Baby for me).
-
Apart from one experimental album by a favourite guitarist of mine (Bill Nelson), I don't think I have or like anything pre 1970 and the first Sabbath album. I can see a lot of influences from earlier but it just doesn't resonate with me.

Checked - 21 days at the moment.

It only lasts 72 hours though.

Disappointing lack of BP.

Defying a parliamentary vote on Syria is another good one.
