Verbal

Says trousers.

As others have said, this is just a mindless regurgitation of Trump doing his tedious routine. The far-right, here, as in the US, exist only to fight culture wars - there's nothing else between its collective ears than to 'own the libtards'. Let me know when you rename HIV the 'Africa virus'.

So detailed analysis of what the deal appears to be is starting to come in. This is from JP Morgan's trade specialists: "The bad news for the UK, in our view, is that the EU appears to have secured a deal which allows it to retain nearly all the advantages it derives from its trading relationship with the UK, while giving it the ability to use regulatory structures to cherry-pick among the sectors where the UK had previously enjoyed advantages in the trading relationship. That applies to the services sector in particular, but to parts of the goods sector too."

I think we all know what happens when you make a prediction, anti-Nostradamus.

We won a game, we're up to third, and we're playing well. That's a cue for more of your dog-whistle drivel?

Your point is false. Firstly, the loan for the Turkey factory was not to relocate from Southampton to Turkey. The closure in Southampton was happening anyway. Second, the loan itself was for £150m. Set this against the £6bn that the EIB invested in Britain just in the year before the Brexit vote. So no - the UK did not 'lose industry because of the EU', it substantially gained it.

Not forgetting his dogged endorsement on here of a Jew-baiting conspiracy theory and his declaration that he 'doesn't like' 'the Arabs'. How you hold both positions at the same time is a mystery until you realise he's the witless, radicalised victim of the combined effects of a gold-plated retirement and Facebook.

And the brainless incompetence goes on. This is what Brexit has bequeathed us - Liz Truss, probably the least able SoS in a sea of Cabinet banality, giving something for nothing to the Americans over Airbus, the Americans not even thinking of giving an inch on reciprocal withdrawal of tariffs on damaging tariffs on, among other things, Scottish whisky, and the Europeans peeved right at the moment when some good will is badly needed in the FTA negotiations. https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/1336801801509740546 No doubt the radicalised Facebook-obsessed OAPs among us will still have no trouble with any of this.

As I've said before, this guy is the sad result of retiree+Facebook.

How utterly unsurprising.

Which country were you talking about then? And do you want to quote me the statute backing up your second sentence?

Where does this happen? It's illegal in the UK.

It's escalating tonight. LinWood and Powell have signed up to a call, along with pardonee Michael Flynn and others, for a 'temporary' imposition of martial law while the army supervises a rerun election to show Trump as the winner. The US Trumpian right has literally gone insane. I'm still sure none of this will change anything on 20 January, but how the mighty are falling...

Unfortunately nor will you, Mustafa. We have you down for the placebo.

He's not. He's triggered. As usual.

If you look closely at the first picture, you'll just make out the numbers attached to the fence. They match the house numbers - so that when the ball flies into someone's back garden, one of the players can pop round and ask for the ball back. Nice little job for Harry Kane.

Are there the signs of a strong striking partnership emerging between Walcott and Adams? Seems so from these last two games...

Text book Facebook echo chamber. Combined, as I say, with complete inoculation from the severe damage that withdrawal is actually causing. Your radicalisation is a small wonder to behold. This is probably the only place where your zealotry is challenged - and nothing on here will perpetrate through all that spoonfed sloganising you regurgitate from FB.

Read and be warned. This is what happens to you when you combine a gold-plated pension and Facebook.

Good grief. Never mind.

Nope. Read Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow. Standard qualitative and quantitive methods are examples of 'fast thinking', and are prone to errors and unconscious biases. 'Slow thinking' takes too much time to explain, ironically, but it's worth reading (he won a Nobel for these ideas). Bringing this back to Walcott, there's no intrinsic reason to give less weight to Turkish's analysis than to the 'statistical' approach. Quantitive doesn't trump qualitative.

Please, the two of you - not again. Get a miserable low-ceilinged room.

False binary. Enough 'anecdotes' can add up to evidence. And evidence isn't equal simply to statistics. That would be reductive. The English language gives us the words 'qualitative' and 'quantitive'. Both can add up to evidence, and one form doesn't necessarily have greater weight than the other.

How apt that a Brexit jihadist should use a bomb analogy.

Leave means leave apparently - with a collapsing cardboard box. What a metaphor for Brexiter wet dreams.
