I know! In the words of Oscar Wilde: We are all in the gutter but he is circling the drain.

WTAF Brian? You done a post and there is literally no way to improve it.

This is the sum total of it. Using the phrase 'coloured people' is a classic bumbling boomer mistake that in itself doesn't add up to that much - though he hardly qualifies for a pass given his position. It's more that he's seemed recently to have managed to combine being devious and incompetent on an epic scale.

Not sure that Biden sources his info from Trumpist-conspiracist Facebook pages.

I love the way GM pretends he writes all this guff. Evidently he's rather plagiarise than acknowledge his limitations. As his hero would say: Sad.

Oh God, the anti-Nostradamus back with his predictions. You all know the rules by now - read and invert.

In other words, a repeat of what vice-president Gerald Ford did for Richard Nixon after his resignation in 1974. Quite plausible. But it won't get Trump off the hook because so many of his criminal-legal troubles are at state-level, and so beyond the reach of a presidential pardon, and so many of his civil-legal problems are to do with his cataclysmic finances, which are also beyond the scope of any escape hatch like this. Trump could still end up in prison and a bankrupt.

Fair enough, but to put it in context, Biden's near-four decades' worth of politics and policy history place him somewhere between Michael Heseltine and (on law and order) Margaret Thatcher. His current platform would have looked a little middle-of-the-road to Blairites. On the flip side, the term 'communist' has specific meaning - to be one, you have, at a a minimum, to believe in the common ownership of all the means of production, distribution and exchange. I think we can safely say, as a matter of fact, that Joe Biden is not advocating that - whatever 'rhetoric' we indulge in.

No, he's saying that it's absurd to characterise Biden's platform as 'socialist' or 'communist'. This isn't a difference of views but a difference of facts. Unless, that is, you can tell us which of Biden's proposals is 'socialist' or 'communist'.

Ach that's right. My first game was Spurs v Saints in Jan 1970 and I remember Chivers playing (and Davies scoring the winning goal). But of course Chivers was in white.

Chivers for Channon maybe?

That's not what you said though. You said: 'Without Ings we are fucked.'

One ad hominem sneer after another. That's all you have. Have you got anything to actually say? One other startling fact: many of the same companies that have just been warned by Johnson and Gove to do much more to prepare for no deal are from Thursday being closed for at least four weeks and - judging by this government's record - far longer. How's that going to work?

So there's more than a remote possibility that the UK will crash out of the EU while it's in a national lockdown for coronavirus. Good luck with that.

Odd post. Firstly, comparing him to Ings is baffling - which team plays with two identikit strikers? Second, his supposed 'tangled feet' can't disguise the fact that some of his goals have come from taking shots early. And why is the Man City goal 'strange', rather than quick witted? His assist rate complements Ings, his power complements Ings' guile, and his partnership with Ings stretches defenders. He's still learning, but the quality of his all-round game seems to be on a pleasing upward curve.

Actually it's not all of Corbynists who've disgraced themselves by refusing to acknowledge the truth of the EHRC report. The Corbynist memes and youtubes being dropped in here by the usual suspect are a small taste of the misinformation industry from his mindless cult - but for others, there's no escaping the awful reality that Corbynism sucked into Labour some of the most vile, Jew-baiting characters on the far left, and have said so.

At least you got the first part right. Now what about your view on the Corbyn-led culture of vicious and illegal anti-semitism now formally confirmed by the EHRC?

Your strawman edifice needs some work. Still, if it makes you happy to invent stuff to get furious in your own head, be my guest.

So I expect Corbynists here there and everywhere will be crafting their fulsome mea culpas for the crimes and abuses highlighted in today's EHRC report.

One of the things that's great about watching the side now is seeing the sort of one and two touch football that was a kind of signature at Saints in the late 70s and 80s. (Steve Williams would fit well into this set-up.) But JWP's goal was a particularly good example of it.

The Guardian was also good - leading on Che Adams' performance. On which subject, what a pleasure it is to see him playing so well.

Very droll.

Triggered.

I think you'll find the expression is: Feeble minds seldom differ.
