  1. Generally yes - that's the way it's put together, but then some people prefer to believe that the BBC is a hotbed of liberal conspiracy.
  2. Not to mention Fonte, whose partnership with Lovren is the rock on which our current form is based.
  3. When was our last clean sheet with Danny Fox playing the full match ?
  4. Was that 'hoof' or a well directed long pass ?
  5. I think it was given for Lovren wrestling with whoever was marking him.
  6. Can anybody explain to me what, exactly, the above 13 posts have added to the debate ?
  7. No it isn't, ( unless your comment is intended to be 'tongue in cheek' ). The 'rebuttal' is in support of a fabricated 'fact', which has been completely shot down.
  8. 2 articles from the Telegraph : It's obit on Ralph Milliband http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/politics-obituaries/10347055/Professor-Ralph-Miliband.html and an interview with 'Red Ed' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ed-miliband/9544522/Ed-Miliband-interview-I-want-to-save-the-capitalism-my-father-hated.html
  9. An annotated breakdown of the DM article; http://33revolutionsperminute.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/the-daily-mails-ralph-miliband-editorial-annotated-version/
  10. He can't, because RM NEVER said he opposed the Falklands war, he merely resented the positive boost it gave to MT's popularity, helping her to win an election she would probably, otherwise, have lost : "I mean that her brand of Toryism may now come to predominate. The Falklands has served her well . . .".
  11. Lord Moore : "The Daily Mail is telling lies about a good man who I knew"
  12. Bolshevism may be a distorted reading of socialism, but socialism is most certainly NOT bolshevism. You might as well equate Al Quaeda with Islam.
  13. Do you deliberately misread other peoples posts ? You know full well that the point I was making was that, in response to your jibe at socialism and religion, that slavery ( especially as praticed by the UK and the US - a purely capitalist enterprise driven by profit ), and colonialism ( driven by 'what yours is ours' asset stripping greed ) were equally effective at mass oppression.
  14. Unnecessary, unfunny, and for some, offensive.
  15. I think that colonialism and slavery, both strongly based on expansionist capitalist ideals, are up there as well.
  16. Socialism isn't unsavoury, it just falls foul of the innate greed and avarice that all political systems engender in their leadership. And don't for a second fall in to the trap of assuming Stalin, Mao, or Mugabe had/have anything to do with Socialism - after all, what was the name of Hitler's party ?
  17. If capitalism is such a success, why are children going hungry in the USA ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21636723 And why are there 'food banks' in this country ?
  18. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-24367601 Come on, own up. ( Edit, mods - can you change 'Winchester' to Cadnam' in the title, pretty please. )
  19. I heard a quote on the radio this evening stating that this whole affair is actually a matter of 'freedom of the press'.... The editorial team at the Daily Mail are perfectly free to confirm their status as narrow-minded, bullying, bigots.
  20. I suspect that the Mail will find some way to resurrect it.
  21. 1) Shock horror - a self proclaimed marxist thought that the British class system and Monarchy were outdated and should be replaced. ( FWIW, Eric Pickles was a marxist at school ). 2) Shock horror - the Daily Mail writes an article during the Tory party conference that derides a marxist. ( Stereotypical foaming at the mouth, pandering to their loyal readership ). Why is either of these points a surprise ?
  22. The bloke on the 19th floor will even lose his view next Easter, the tower blocks are coming down. As for the having to register for JSA online - the main Job Centre here is across the road from Central Library, so they simply send all the JSA claimants over to use the public access PCs we have installed, expecting the library staff to walk the jobless through the online processing; ( nobody told the library this was going to happen ).

    Top Four

    Well, we were certainly not a match for Citeh and Chelski last season.
  24. We see shedloads of Ribbles round here as they are local - certainly a lot of the cycle club members like them. I considered the Bianco when I was looking to buy my 'best' bike, but looked to having the Tiagra groupset fitted, as it gives the option for an easier bottom gear for the less flat stretches, ( a.k.a. the Pennines ).
  25. Chamakh should have jumped over King Artur and slotted the ball into the empty net, instead he was on the way down before contact was made with the keeper - in all probability there were only 2 people in the ground ( or watching the stream ) who knew it wasn't a pen at first sight, one was the striker and the other was the ref.
