Verbal

Is the correct answer. Why on earth do you think anyone would defend the police inaction? And who, anywhere, has called this 'fake news'?

Ah yes, the fabulous wealth of pre-EU Portugal. I remember it well.

Why don't you and sadoldgit give it a rest? You're both unimaginably (and unimaginatively) boring, and together you come off like the headline double-act from purgatory.

It is - and it's all to easy. I can't believe that actual grown ups think Trump has done anything other than try to build condos on North Korean beaches and buff his own pumped up ego. Here's a reedited version of something that's dangerously close to being beyond parody.

No, it's not you plongeur. It's worse than was predicted by project fear.

This is especially for you, since you seem so ready to believe any old crap.

It really isn't that hard to decode your mealy-mouthed racism. I just wanted to see if you had the balls to say it. Evidently not. As you've fully adopted the dog-whistle language of the neo-Nazi Yaxley-Lennon, it's also interesting to note that, having bleated about about how Y_L has never uttered anything that marks him out as far-right, you completely ignore his tweets posted here by Bexy. I take it that this means you endorse his comments.

Intelligent Brexiteers - so no one on here - have long recognised that Davis is a kind of remoaner stealth weapon. He's so useless that he's bound to **** it all up - so much so that you have to wonder if he's doing it deliberately. I was delighted that May caved and Davis didn't walk. Long may the weekend SASer keep firing those bullets into his own feet.

Before we go any further with this argument, WT actual F is a 'native European citizen'?

A bedtime story for those who can't get enough kip. https://twitter.com/Alistair_King/status/1003735659390160896

Nope. Yaxley-Lennon is firmly of the far (aka neo-Nazi) right. He believes that intolerance, hatred of women and violence are scripturally stitched in. Therefore the horrors practised by a small minority - FGM, domestic violence, jihadist terror, sectarianism - are inherent in all Muslims. That's why he tweets on Muslim transgressions to the exclusion of non-Muslims. That's why, for example, he couldn't get down to the Natural History Museum fast enough to do grotesque selfies on Youtube, turning a simple road accident into a 'jihadi terror attack'. Think of it like this. Swap the word 'Muslim' out for the word 'Jew'. If the worst atrocities committed by ultra-orthodox Jews were generalised, supposedly to be features of all Jews, what does that remind you of? Ultra-orthodox attacks on gay rights, gender segregation, weird schools? That'll be those damned Jews undermining our civilisation. Thats why Yaxley-Lennon is a neo-Nazi.

Are they? I wonder why...assuming there's any evidence. London is absolute miles from being the most violent major city in the world. By head of population (London is vastly larger than any other UK city), it's not even the worst in the UK - around eighth or ninth. Despite the negative publicity, London does not even have the highest murder rate in England and Wales when population is taken into account. Figures from the Office for National Statistics for homicides (also including manslaughter and infanticide), filtered by particular police constabularies, show the Met had the ninth highest homicide rate (12.2 per million population) in 2016/17, or the eighth highest if the 96 Hillsborough deaths added to South Yorkshire’s tally were excluded. Excluding South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester had the highest homicide rate (19.1) and Lincolnshire the second highest (17.5). https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/05/how-does-londons-spate-of-killings-compare-with-other-cities Even taking the 2018 figures into account, it's not going to alter London's ranking by much.

Which reminds me of this Albert Einstein quote: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

'Flat out lie' would be a better way of putting it. Forty-seven of the world's poorest countries, including thirty-three in sub-Saharan Africa, have tariff-free entry into the EU for everything except guns. Yet Brexit Jihadists keep up their volume of noise on the idea that somehow the EU is a vast conspiracy against poorer countries. As if the Jihadists could give a flying **** about poorer countries. 'Jihadists' is also a perfectly descriptive, non-judgmental description of members of an economic death cult. While there are Brexiteers who argue rationally for a future outside the EU, the death cult - who are easy to recognise with their 'just get on with it' slogans - seek to destroy a modern, complex economy that they simply don't understand in order to return to a mythical, distinctively white, pre-modern world that they believe existed before 1973. Or, more accurately, (a white-tinted view of) the 1950s. They can quite fairly be described as members of BRISIS. I can't see how anyone could possibly object.

You must be learning your bad timing from Jihadi John. The political crisis in Italy has been resolved with the swearing in of a new government. You can move on to Spain of you like but that's also going to end without the collapse of the Eurozone, Schengen, or any of the other bits of the EU that cause the jihadists to roll their eyes into the backs of their heads.

It still is. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2671/long-term-warming-trend-continued-in-2017-nasa-noaa/ I have no idea what point, if any, you're making.

The black box has apparently been watching Aden Flint of Bristol City. I know nothing about him, but FourFourTwo magazine rated him the best defender in the Championship last season.

A neo-Nazi jailed - that rare combo of news that's excellent and hilarious.

Of course he can't. It's nonsense.

Fredericks would be an excellent signing. Not exactly the same type of player, but James Maddison could be a Dele Alli-type success story in the prem.

How many years now is it that you've been predicting the collapse of the Euro/Greece/the EU/Deutsche Bank/climate change science/....etc.,ad nauseum? And yet none of it has ever happened. Ever. You're like an anti-Nostradamus - your predictions are 100% reliably opposite to the outcome.

It'll be interesting, then, to see how the negotiations with Hughes go. He walked away from Fulham when Fayed cut the transfer budget.

Just curious - do you suffer from selective blindness or ADHD? The full article - not the two lines you managed to quote before it all got too much for you - reports that (a) the EU has a mirror case against US government support for Boeing and (b) in the EU's view most of the US government's complaints were struck down.

You'll be needing this. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/716/134/b1a.jpg

Firstly, it's a heck of a drive from SD to PS, along a very boring freeway. When I knew it, the best place to stay in PS was Merv Griffin's (now renamed the Parker) hotel - it's where Robert Downey had his most famous drugs bust, if that helps make your mind up. Fabulous restaurant even now. Steer MILES clear in PS of the hotel 'resorts' out of town, which are usually casinos with row upon deathly row of slot machines pinging away 24/7. The cable car is worth a ride up a vertiginous mountain face - it'll scare the kids, I promise. And the zoo's great, as is the air museum. Best of all though are the relics of old Hollywood - fabulous architecture and history.
