Guided Missile

As long as we continued to interfere in Poland, France, the Netherlands and the death camps in those countries, we would always have had the threat of Nazi extremists hanging over us OR As long as we continue to interfere in Northern Iraq and align ourselves with the US to prevent Christian Kurds being executed for refusing to convert to Islam, we will always have a threat of Muslim extremists hanging over us OR As long as we refuse to convert the UK into a caliphate, oppress minorities and women, we will always have a threat of Muslim extremists hanging over us.

To repeat, the point Enoch Powell was making is most immigrants do not want to integrate and this fact would lead to some having vested interests in fostering racial and religious differences "with a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow-immigrants and then over the rest of the population". Who can seriously argue that this wasn't prescient and that his prediction that the policy of multiculturalism would cause problems, wasn't also correct. Labour picked up the multiculturalism bandwagon, made it a cause celebre amongst the right-on brigade and ran with it, adding 3 million to the population of this country. Why? Here's why: Research into voting patterns conducted for the Electoral Commission after the 2005 general election found that 80 per cent of Caribbean and African voters had voted Labour, while only about 3 per cent had voted Conservative and roughly 8 per cent for the Liberal Democrats. The Asian vote was split about 50 per cent for Labour, 10 per cent Conservatives and 15 per cent Liberal Democrats. Pretty much why they are against Scottish devolution, then....

It's a bit hard to align ourselves with any Muslim country. As of 2012, Indonesia is the only Muslim-majority nation out of 50, acknowledged as democratic by both Freedom House and Economist democracy indexes.

That was 10 years ago. You're also older than you thought....

Enoch Powell gave a speech over 46 years ago that had the unfortunate effect of forever labelling him a racist. For me, at the time, he was a visionary, but like many, I kept my mouth shut and head below the parapet, unlike a number of my skinhead mates who provided security at his public meetings. Now, after watching the slaughter of a soldier in Greenwich and now a journalist in Syria, by British immigrants dedicated to the destruction of our society, surely we can now acknowledge the damage previous immigration policies have done. It may be worth reading what Powell said, all those years ago and reflect. Powell argued that although "many thousands" of immigrants wanted to integrate, he contended that the majority did not, and that some had vested interests in fostering racial and religious differences "with a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow-immigrants and then over the rest of the population". Hard to argue, isn't it, but unfortunately, way too late.... ...and no, I'm not and never have been, a racist.

I think Pompey fans have done a great job and should be supported by every right minded football supporter. This thread really is getting sad and bitter. Surely we are better than that? Time to lock the thread, I think. Embarrassing....

If ever there was an illustration of the saying, "Life's a b!tch. Marry one and then you die", this is it.

Give it a rest you great big bunch of cry babies and pull yourselves together. No one on here knew him and his death means about as much to me as, the roughly 150,000 people a day that die, who I also didn't know. Celebrity worship is nearly as bad as religious worship. Our lives all have the same value, nothing more, nothing less...

That's a bit rich, coming from the king of the wet boycotters...

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman reiterates Morgan Schneiderlin will not be leaving the club and has warned the midfielder of his conduct following his midweek outburst on Twitter.

They won't be going to Spurs. Part of the contract allowing Pochettino to go there is a restriction on taking any Saints players with him for the next season.

Only Fulham, West Brom, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Swansea and Southampton voted against the Financial Fair Play rules, when Cortese was Chairman.

Sell the club for £150M or sell our best young players every other season for £100M. You do the maths...

I just had a text from a football agent with strong ties to Southampton FC, who told me that the player budget at Saints was out of control. He suggested that the board was hamstrung by the commitments Cortese had made to both the players and Pochettino et al, which would have ensured that any future success on the field would have swallowed up income off of it and led to an unsustainable situation going forward, given our restricted income, with regard to sponsorship and crowds. Cortese had taken his focus off of the commercial income growth. In fact it was shrinking, due to the fact he was an unpleasant guy to deal with. Sony swore never to sponsor a box again, after the way they were treated last season. So, my take is that to prevent all and more of the riches earned in the Premiership disappearing via players, their contracts, bonuses and constant demands, leading to an unsustainable future, it made sense to clear the decks and adjust the player budget to a level that a club our size, with 30,000 crowds and a tiny commercial income, compared with virtually any other club in the Premiership, could afford. Cutting our cloth in an area in which the majority of the overheads are spent. The area of greedy, spoilt, ungrateful, spoilt and self-obsessed children who can kick a ball around for a living. Better to start with new contracts than have to pay for the mistakes of the past. English players? Cr@p and overpriced in my opinion.

We led the league in possession last season, but failed to break into the top four. As the Dutch showed against the Spanish and Atletico Madrid against Barca, possession is no longer everything. The new way is quick counter attacking into space, from midfield. The rapier like football the Dutch have played in this WC has changed the landscape. For attacking at pace you need the players and let's face it, without J Rod we just didn't have the personnel to play this way. We were pretty to watch but frustrating at times and were quickly found out by, for instance, Spurs. We were just not going to ever challenge for the top 4 with the squad we had. I'm hoping that the rebuilding on youth and imports that Ronald knows can play the way he likes, will shake up the whole league. He had to change the squad to fit the way football is going. I can't wait....

Unfortunately, it is now "tending towards a breakeven point".

A brilliant summary here:

I would like to thank all the people involved in the setting up and maintenance of this website, for all the good work they have done, in providing the care in the community, so many posters on this thread obviously need. The only thing that concerns me is there is a small chance that one of them sits next to me at St. Mary's. Scary...

Northern Monkeys

Every mile back from the Derby playoff game, in the torrential rain, I was hoping for their classless northern monkey fans to be on the end of a result like this. I don't give a sh !t that it was a team managed by Harry Rednapp that gave it to them. Anyone on this thread that feels sorry for those Derby pr!cks wasn't there that day.

A cheap way of getting a CV out there, in my opinion.

"The overall innovation of the manuscript is very low." Never stopped them accepting papers in the past as the above pile of cr@p shows...

Here's a peer reviewed paper by Dr James Screen that managed to get through the strict peer reviewing on that joke of a "scientific" publication "Environmental Research Letters He's the type of spotty youth they obviously like to publish, after he's spent some time playing modelling games on his laptop. "Dramatic retreat of Arctic Ice" Mate, go and get a proper job....

I'll write to the Times immediately to complain. This is the "past it or or have no relevant qualifications or meaningful experience in the field" guy, right?
