I will say though that despite this being a decent point, my interest has massively lessened since the Europa adventures really. Boring football that's difficult to enjoy and starting every season with survival being pretty much the maximum we can achieve and very little indication that this will change any time too. Ho hum.

It's obvious this deal is going to pass eventually, even if there is a general election in between. The only hope remainers have is for the Tories not to be the biggest party.

Good away point against a good team.

Not sure how it's a big loss. We've been largely sh*t with him in the setup, it's not like we can do a whole lot worse without him.

I hardly think you can accuse anyone in this process of rushing things through. We've been paused on the edge for months.

Change the record you fanny.

Willing to change your lofty principles when it suits. Figures.

Lol. I'd take the prison time.

So no suggestions then?

Well then not beyond the bounds of possibility that it would happen here then.

Not sure why we are having this discussion as no one said it was?

What punishment do you feel would have been acceptable?

Maybe go and visit the prison and let him know. I'm sure he'd appreciate the visit.

I don't want to see vigilante justice so I'd rather it didn't happen but I'm really not going to lose any sleep about it considering he was a serial paedophile. Honestly where are you hoping to go with this conversation?

Precisely. Pick a subject and soggy could start an argument about it.

Genuinely what the f*ck are you talking about? Where have I said that what happened was OK???? The ONLY thing I said was that there is an obvious reason why criminals in prison would treat adult sex offenders differently from kiddy fiddlers. I haven't given any opinion about the rights and wrongs of that treatment.

Who said there was? Do you make it a mission to be deliberately obtuse on every thread? Why do you think there might be a difference in the eyes of a criminal between someone who commits sexual crimes against an adult and someone who sexually abuses children?

Yeah I would have thought that was fairly obvious.

Many of the interviewees talk about a kill on sight policy between regular prisoners and paedophiles. Generally they are kept apart from other prisoners for this reason, housed in separate wings away from prisoners who haven't committed sexual crimes. Given that some of these people have spent decades inside UK prisons, I expect they know what they are talking about.

I feel really sorry for those protestors. All they were trying to do was disrupt the lives of ordinary working people by illegally jumping on trains. It's a small price to pay when billions will be dead in twenty years and all those horrible commuters could do is give them a good kicking.

No because criminals who have committed serious sexual assaults are generally kept segregated from other prisoners for precisely this reason. If you're genuinely interested and not just being a contrarian for the sake of it like you normally are, I'd suggest you watch some of the long form interviews conducted by Shaun Atwood: He interviews ex cons who have been in the prison system for many years and many of them outline this informal policy between the prisoners. Some fascinating insights there if you approach it with an open mind- so probably not your sort of thing.

He's still going on! Trying to pretend there is a big problem with racism in English football. There isn't, there's been giant improvements since the 80s, most incidents are confined to small pockets or loners and they are swiftly dealt with by way of hefty bans. It's no longer socially acceptable to throw bananas or make monkey noises at black players and thank goodness for that. You seem to be the only one harping on about this giant racism problem within English football. Like the sexism and homophobia you see everywhere its in your head mate like usual. I'm pretty sure this has been said by many many posters on here now and I'm not sure why you fail to understand it.

No one understands what you are saying. If a prisoner assaults someone in a jail is that a smaller or larger problem than a full scale riot breaking out? They are both violence but quite clearly one of them is more serious and requires a different sort of response. How are you finding this difficult to grasp? It's like talking to a child sometimes.

Pretty sure most prisons operate a kill on site policy between the prisoners for this sort of thing so it's hardly a surprise.

Who said it was acceptable? No one. But it's not the exact same thing which appears to be obvious to everyone except you
