Lock the Nazi up and throw away the key.

As much as I want Labour to win I really can't see it, I don't think you need to worry.

I've spent a little time recently over on the forum belonging to our pals down the road, and it appears a guy on there has started chronicling the decline of their club under the Venky regime. To date he's got as far as November 2011 and I've got to admit that aside from it providing my weekly dose ...

I used to read the DM often as a teenager as it was always lying around at my nans house. This was before my ability to think critically had fully developed and for a period I believed a lot of the things columnists such as Leo McKinstry wrote, and assumed a negative view of immigration and people o...

I think you should all stick to reading "The i" or the Independent online. I would imagine that Rowls considers them to be left-wing, reactionary and dangerous, but they do strive for balance. (IMO of course). I used to read the Independent regularly and thought it was a good blend of right and lef...

The country's leading tabloid newspaper and has consistently been so for several years now. Wins award after award in press circles (awarded by journalists who know what they're talking about). Criticism of it is sometimes justified but is more often just people on the internet attempting to make t...

Whichever you want it's your choice. However, I personally tend to avoid the Sun due to it's tacit racism, Murdoch's political agenda and Kelvin Mackenzie's disgraceful coverage of the Hillsborough disaster (among other things).

Really? The Daily Mail's circulation is almost ten times greater than The Guardian's. I'm pretty sure their website is also one of, if not the most visited as well.

I didn't go to Barden, but between '06-'08 Habergham and St Theodores 6th Forms moved into the old Barden building whilst the new sixth form was being built just down the road. I have some good memories from my time there but I remember thinking it was quite a small building to say it was a high sch...

In the 1980s, the then Labour leader, Michael Foot had just come out of a packed, pre-election meeting of young enthusiastic labour party members. One of his team showed him the current disastrous opinion poll figures. He said, "They can't be right, there were 2 thousand in there tonight." His aide...

Also Elijah Wood just winds me up for some reason, can't put my finger on why but he does.

Sean Bean, can't stand how he never bothers to alter his Sheffield accent (at least in the films I've seen him in). Vin Diesel, Statham, Stallone and all those other chumps who appear in those films about fast cars and explosions, not sure whether they're poor actors or I just can't stand the films.

Van Dijk
Charlie Adam
Eric Bailly

These are the three that immediately spring to mind.

The Dalmeny Hotel is really good, especially if you have kids. It's down the road in Lytham St Annes but I can't recommend it highly enough, assuming it's the same as it was 15 year ago (when I last went as a child

).

I'm lead to believe that the club were offered for sale to a local business man a few seasons ago, in fact it was the season before we won promotion under Sean, The local business man is well known and although he has a season ticket a old Trafford , he regularly attends home games and sits with th...

Corbyn doesn't see the point in a monarchy. The Labour party haven't mentioned the monarchy in their manifesto because as a party they decided to leave it in place and as party leader Corbyn followed the will of the party. It was fairly pointless asking him why he hasn't pushed to get rid of the mo...

I too fear that the shy Tories will be out in force again on election day, and as much as I want to think Labour are going to pull off the impossible I still can't see it. Hopefully they will restrict TM and her cronies to a small majority though.

SammyBoy

not really.....the SNP aren't purely there to keep the tories in power as the Liberals are...they wouldn't prop up a tory government, and as such are effectively almost as useful to Corbyn as Labour members are......in fact many SNP members are more inclined to socialism than most that fought under...

Terry and Ferdinand the best of their generation, and slightly preceding them Sol Campbell - personally I can't split them. Just on the defence alone (Neville, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole) it's ridiculous the 'Golden Generation' didn't achieve more for England.

I watched the first episode on TV and thought it wasn't great, but I had nothing else planned so watched the second and third on iPlayer and I thought there were some hilarious moments, probably give it a 7/10.

SammyBoy

Whilst it's true that the younger generations get their news elsewhere, I still believe a lot of the older generations will read newspapers, and they're the ones that turn out in force on election day.

SammyBoy

You sum it up well hampstead! It's just sad the debate has to sink to these levels, and can't even be somewhat objective, but as you said this has always happened, and always will! I have my doubts that a Labour party that's not in the centre ground will ever get elected again whilst we have the med...

I don't think the media will have that much effect Cleveleys as very few younger voters read the print press. You're right, they are polarised but certainly not just one way.

The Sun has always been a Tory paper the fact they supported Blair says it all. The Sun only officially switched to Blair weeks before the election as well, I think they held on until it became apparent the Tories were going to get slapped and it'd ruin their claim to fame of always backing the win...

I probably just fall into the category of 'young person' and I think the newspapers really are the pits in this country (and probably elsewhere as well but I wouldn't know).

Iv watched Spence's last few fights and he does look the goods. However I don't think his power is all it's cracked up to be. He struggled to move Van Heerden despite hitting him with the kitchen sink. He also is a bit open when attacking and with the high guard the uppercut could cause him issues....

SammyBoy

I haven't seen much of Spence but I know he's good and has a lot of power, slightly concerned about Brook coming back down to 147 given he's looked like he has to drain himself to get there in the past. I think 154, or even 160 as he was vs Golovkin would be better suited to him but it'll be a great...

Trippier is better than Lowton for me, that said, Lowton is continually improving and I've been very impressed with him. As for leaving Spurs, can't see why he would if Walker leaves, strange one.

Incidentally, even I do not have an HDTV, just an old Sony Triniton tube, the sort that sticks out at the back.

Out of interest, Dermot, what level of poverty does JC need to live in for it to be acceptable for him to want to help ordinary people? For example, is he allowed a HDTV? or would that be too hypocritical?

An awful man who lived a truly wretched life bringing nothing but pain and misery to those he encountered - no wonder he wanted to die! What makes somebody like Brady tick is beyond my comprehension.

Train up for what exactly? Consultant, GP? Even semi-skilled will take more time than the shortfall This is probably why the policy on immigration won't change for a while (if at all). It's just now there's a negative perception of the UK's attitude towards foreigners which will put a lot off, or c...

Lancaster makes an interesting point. If as we are led to believe the Tories will win fairly convincingly then surely it is better to be on the inside and be able to hopefully influence government than be on outside looking in with some envy, I dare say.
