  1. If Tony Blair came back into power in December what are these lovely New Labour policies that he would implement that you voted for?
  2. There's a difference between individual freedom of speech and systemic/corporate/political abuse using their power and money to embed falsehoods in citizens minds. (see Trump/Tories and examples for repeat a lie often enough).
  3. No, I only just looked at the table, and it's been more than a week smarta*se.
  4. Arsenal were pretty open but of course the teams coming to St Mary's won't let us have so much freedom and chances. Still, all that said and as a non-season ticket holder, quite fancy getting a ticket for Watford after today's performance.
  5. And we flopped against the struggling Spurs and Everton too.
  6. Nope, have you been drinking?
  7. Damn, even if we'd won that we'd still be bottom three. Dire.
  8. We should have yes. What's your point?
  9. Really?
  10. It started at at least 80 minutes, if not earlier
  11. 7 minutes was excessive but we started time-wasting far too early. If the players hadn't started all that cr*p there's only three minutes added on and we win 1-2.
  12. Bizarre finish. Edit - f*ck this team.
  13. Long jesus
  14. Either Arsenal are dire, the ref is bias or we look like a team again.
  15. We badly need three.
  16. Soft but we were due one.
  17. Cedric ffs omg etc
  18. How is that a foul! He blocked Hoj ffs
  19. Unregulated banking versus regulated. Pretty simple stuff.
  20. #impartialponyhunter
  21. Not that different from billionaire c"nts
  22. Worth a read... “Nowhere is this divide between public debate and economic reality more dramatic than in Britain, which is perhaps why it appears to be the first country where something is beginning to crack. It was center-left New Labour that presided over the pre-crash bubble, and voters’ throw-the-bastards-out reaction brought a series of Conservative governments that soon discovered that a rhetoric of austerity—the Churchillian evocation of common sacrifice for the public good—played well with the British public, allowing them to win broad popular acceptance for policies designed to pare down what little remained of the British welfare state and redistribute resources upward, toward the rich. “There is no magic money tree,” as Theresa May put it during the snap election of 2017—virtually the only memorable line from one of the most lackluster campaigns in British history. The phrase has been repeated endlessly in the media, whenever someone asks why the UK is the only country in Western Europe that charges university tuition, or whether it is really necessary to have quite so many people sleeping on the streets. The truly extraordinary thing about May’s phrase is that it isn’t true. There are plenty of magic money trees in Britain, as there are in any developed economy. They are called “banks.” Since modern money is simply credit, banks can and do create money literally out of nothing, simply by making loans. Almost all of the money circulating in Britain at the moment is bank-created in this way. Not only is the public largely unaware of this, but a recent survey by the British research group Positive Money discovered that an astounding 85 percent of members of Parliament had no idea where money really came from (most appeared to be under the impression that it was produced by the Royal Mint).” https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2019/12/05/against-economics/
  23. Read the manifesto.
