alan wasn’t funny most of the time (mostly pointless lies about driving an Audi R8, being a professional gambler and living in Kenilworth) but very occasionally he’d fall into golden territory. His plans to go to Garfunkel’s for a tip-top steak dinner while in London (we’d been drawn away at...

He was Foo_Fighter until the unfortunate incident. Led to a long ban. Came back as Fellatio some time later. Not sure of any other usernames he may have had. pretty certain he wasn’t alan but I’ve always assumed @KersleyDigs on here was a reference to alan

I think you may be right. This did cross my mind when posting. They were both there so many we got a two-fer ? Or we got Billing while looking for Rob Jones, or Craig Hignett?

remember when we went to scout David Platt and came back with Peter Billing?

to me he was Foo_Fighter on GMK before he became FM. was really pleased when he found his way over here. And his best avatar on here was a mocked up magazine of a moustachioed Daniel Craig on the cover of Elegant Masturbator or something like that.

ffs Nick you must know that’s a ridiculous argument. taking the knee equivalence with a nazi salute. Hmm

It’s not backtracking to pledge support for the movement but fall short of the associated claims of some of its members. It’s also possible to favour defunding the police in one country but not another.

it was a direct leadership strategy. Reconnecting with the core vote to show that Labour was more popular than it had been under New Labour. Look at where the leader visits were in 2017, Corbyn and Milne had direct sign off on that.

I’m still confused by what you’re trying to say here. I think we are mostly in agreement. Labour’s share in the vote in 2017 was relatively impressive - but still almost 3 percentage points lower than that received by a badly underperforming Prime Minister in the worst campaign anyone can...

Really? That’s what you think? Really? Aren’t most of the what-you-might-call- “woke”pissed off with him that he sacked RLB and he publicly celebrated Armed Forces day ?

Since universal suffrage the Conservatives have needed working class votes to win any election. That doesn’t mean that the working class are Tories. Most w/c don’t vote Conservative. Even in northern Red Wall territory the Conservative gains from Labour were significant but small. Trump lost...

?? Labour received 40% of the UK vote, the Tories got 42.4%. It’s sensible that they received fewer seats than the Conservatives - the largest party but who also failed to get a majority. Even in Scotland Labour received fewer votes 27.1% (vs 28.6%) and seats 6 (vs 12) than the Conservatives...

whenever Labour have won a Westminster majority they have secured Scotland - but they’ve won England and Wales too. They have never been put in power by Scottish seats.

1969 and 1982 the coalition changed without holding an election as the minor party (FDP) switched allegiance from the CDU/CSU to the SPD and back again. All of Germany seemed to be outraged on each occasion but the FDP continued in government and their leader as Foreign Minister throughout the...

look at the graph for MPs on social values, Labour MPs are v much more socially-liberal than the typical Labour voter.

I wanted Leicester to win the Premier League the season they did. It was a statement that sometimes team spirit and man management can overcome money. I’ll concede that they’re only where they are because of being bankrolled by a billionaire but the transformation from relegation fodder to...

I agree and wasn’t trying to suggest trust involvement in a board is a bad thing or inevitably so. That was just lazy on my part. Apologies. mind you whenever I hear about fan-led clubs I think of Peter Risdale at Leeds let his supporter instincts ruj rampant until the Club became his vanity...

Trust-owned Exeter City served notice on manager Paul Tisdale when the club were going through a poor patch of form. The notice was 18 months iirc. It came to a conclusion after their form had transformed remarkably and Tisdale’s stock was high. His final game in charge was the play-off final...

Lost for words. Fuck about covers it.
