Verbal

Politically you're very close. Hypo is one of the most strident and unpleasant racists on here, for reasons that are utterly baffling. Unfortunately the site is somewhat infested with them. Even one of the mods - Lighthouse - can't help slip into trashing an uppity black man, and he's supposed to be regulating racist crap off of this place! He has form. It's good to see the resurgence of anti-racist campaigning in football, but someone should pay a bit more attention to the role played by forums like this one. In that regard, this place should get its house in order. It won't. But it should.

The usual whitesplaining drivel anyone should expect on the 'Let's gripe at the uppity black man' Saintsweb thread part 1,779. Honestly, how the hell do you know this?

How many is 'many', Geert? Evidence please.

Tick tock...

Brilliant. The EU defeats Brexit Jihadists (hereafter BJs) by the simple method of making things idiot-proof.

"An act of white Jihad." Hmmm.

Honestly, JiJo, this is one of your weirdest posts yet - and there's plenty of competition. A deal to keep a scientific project going on short-term funding after a no-deal crash-out represents the tiniest fraction of a single per cent of the British economy. It hardly amounts to a saviour deal for no-deal, does it.

I condemn it absolutely. It would not surprise me in the least that this appalling behaviour is defined as a war crime. It's happened many times before. But the problem you have is that you just self-declared as an antisemite. You've assumed that because I condemn anti-semitism I am bound to support atrocities committed by Israel. Which is of course a classic Jew-hating equation. Jews = Israel, and if Israel is bad, Jews must also be bad. Well done you! You're a true Corbynista!

They were all imbeciles. I walked through them last night, down Whitehall, across Parliament Square and along College Green, and it's hard to imagine any other circumstance in which such a horde of sad sacks would be drawn together in one place. There were only two types. Hardcore, ferociously angry EDL supporters; and hardcore, ferociously angry OAPs, who all, oddly, seemed to be wearing white mops on their heads. And yes, unlike the remoaner march, they were resolutely all white and almost all men. Violence was always an inch away, and their hatred of anyone not them was palpable.

The DUP (Nigel Dodds) have now come out in qualified support of remain. "We will look at any option. At the end of the day why should we believe that it was right to vote Leave? When we were in the EU people were quite happy with that in N Ireland because we were there together with everybody else." Christ, this is so weird.

With the rest of the smug remoaner elite, I'm off to a concert tonight in Smith Square - Beethoven's Ninth, surprisingly. It should easily be loud enough to be heard in Mogg Towers just round the corner...

After nuclear Armageddon, the only survivors will be insects and Boris's Tory leadership ambitions.

Amen. When are the Cobynista boneheads going to accept the plain evidence that their hero is leading (in the loosest possible sense) them, and the rest of us, into a hopeless wilderness, while the worst Tory government in living memory continues to lead the polls into the coming election? At least individual Labour MPs continue to shine. My MP has just won a seven-year-long battle to protect my local hospital. This is what Labour should be for - but to be really effective, and transformative, they need to govern.

I'm hardly a defender of Corbyn, so the whataboutery is a bit lost on me, Jihadi John. But I don't think Corbyn went further than declaring terrorists in Ireland and the Middle East his 'friends'. Which was bad enough. But your messiah is in a different league.

A 'true Brit' who is a leading member of a Loyalist political gang so extreme that it made the IRA look moderate - the IRA signed the Good Friday agreement; the DUP refused. The DUP was directly involved in setting up the terrorist 'paramilitaries' Third Force and Ulster Resistance.

Says the mug whose fancy dress every day is 'January Sale at Top Man'.

This might be taken a bit more seriously. After all, we've already had one remainer MP murdered by a mad Brexiter. Besides, these weren't keyboard warriors. They were people who'd worked out her address and phone number, and made the threats themselves over the phone. So it's a bit more serious than some raging lunatics threatening people, via a football forum, with piano-wire garrottes or to leave remainers with 'rearranged' faces. In general though, violence is very much a Brexiter thing.

I hate to break it to you but N Ireland voted to remain. The DUP are hardly representative and are so extreme that they made the IRA look moderate. (The latter signed the Good Friday agreement; the former refused).

A Corbyn cultist quoting a barely concealed anti-Corbyn scare piece based marginally on betting odds in the lowest of Murdoch's rags. That's quite funny.

Let's see how many Brexit cultists get bent out of shape over that.

Good graphic Jeffrey. Pity it doesn't show the damage already done. Inward investment down 20% since the referendum, and 25% in manufacturing, which mean that large parts of the economy are freewheeling to a halt. Manufacturing output actually shrank last quarter - and the expectation is that the same will happen this quarter, which means we'll be in a manufacturing recession. Then there's are the small matter of the very small growth we're managing even now. A staggering 1.1% of the 1.4% growth is accounted for by increased consumer debt. That is plainly unsustainable.

So 29th March will come and go without the UK going pop. I could have sworn the jihadists promised us there was no escaping no-deal day...

Interesting developments this afternoon. Is the government about to fall?

Not her either. Even she thinks it's a bad deal because she can't shake the backstop off. There are few heroes in all this. One though is Yvette Cooper, who's used parliamentary procedure to outwit MAY repeatedly - the last time ambushing her by picking up the Spelman amendment. Her successes reflect the fact, which May has pointlessly tried to ignore, that parliament, not the government, is in control (governments only usually appear to be in control because they command parliamentary majorities). All of which points to one of two conclusions: either May HAS to go to an election or a second referendum vote to break the parliamentary jam; or she accepts that parliament must henceforth take the lead. That means, ultimately, a much softer Brexit.

Does the chorus explain how you want us to trade on WTF rules?
