Apple chief Tim Cook: 'I'm proud to be gay'

Great article in the Times, here.

Some of the more enlightened football fans amongst us foresaw the current scenario back in June, here.

Most Jock's are always complaining, normally about how unfair life is, (in fact they complain about everything), but when it comes time for them to stump up any money, to make things better, they will, as usual, have short arms and long pockets. They will realise that in the ballot box, a yes vote will be the same as an open cheque, made out to pie face and I just can't, on the day, see them doing it. Mind you, I'd love to get rid of them. If they want to live in an economic powerhouse with a GDP slightly bigger than Bangladesh, then let them take the low road, while we take the high road....

Sorry, guys, but I have yet to see any blame at all levelled at the parents of these unfortunate children. Am I alone in thinking that they may have been in the best position to know about what their young girls were up to, or am I wrong and every one of these kids was in care?

Seriously guys, I think "Police Academy 9 - Jihadists Return to Croydon" is a movie that needs to be made....

The b0££0x continues...

There are some fantastic new food items to sample, including our locally-sourced premium hot dog, the top-quality Hampshire hog roast, traditional jacket potatoes and nachos with a range of toppings. Alternatively we'll also have mobile sellers making their way around the stadium bowl offering hot and cold drinks, confectionery, hot dogs and ice cream so you needn't even leave your block when you need refreshment. Oink, oink....

Migrants who cannot speak English well or not at all find it impossible to integrate in this country and are more likely to be in receipt of benefits and unable to find work. Both political parties see the command of our language the biggest barrier to the integration of the vast number of migrants Labour allowed into the country. It could also explain why many of the 785,000 and their dependants are alienated from our society and a small percentage of these are radicalised. Let me know if you have trouble understanding the point and I will draw you a picture....

Please read the report, or, if you haven't got the time, I quote: Steve, you need to improve your English...

The paper I quoted was wrong, it is slightly lower. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/census/2011-census-analysis/english-language-proficiency-in-the-labour-market/rpt-english-language-proficiency.html Language proficiency has been singled out by both political parties as the main reason integration has not occurred...

In the 2011 census, 850,000 people in the UK were unable to speak English. I'd call that a failure to integrate...

Read this article from the Telegraph and when the rest of your brain disappears, you are ready to become a Labour MP... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/6418456/Labour-wanted-mass-immigration-to-make-UK-more-multicultural-says-former-adviser.html

Yeah, right, that's what our armed forces get up to...

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.
