Max can now join the JUDAS club. He’s just another two faced egotistical badge kisser; who is only average at his very best ! So goodbye Johnny Big Bollocks.
The slightly worrying thing about this, assuming it’s correct, is the fact the he has a style. And if it doesn’t work any changes will just be a like for like. We need to be able to use more than one style.Me & HORC have been saying that since the Bobby Brown shoes era !
Let’s hope it’s worth it and that is the only Latics frustration that you experience all season ! Must say; very charitable buying a season ticket then letting someone else sit in it all season long
They could develop the upstairs; akin to that bar that me and HORC visited in the Toon ! Had to drag him away !
I live on a social housing estate and from the amount of home deliveries of takeaways arriving at all times there aren’t many going hungry on this estate. Possibly over the road where people live beyond their means purchasing ridiculously priced houses.
I also work with young people of which many of them do go hungry but they go hungry from abuse and neglect by adults choosing drugs, alcohol and flat screen TVs rather than feeding the children. This again is a social problem not born from Conservatism or socialism but from a steady decay of society which gets worse year in year out. When Jezza rides his white stallion down Whitehall these problems will still be there no matter how much cash is thrown at it. More cash to some is more drugs and more booze and to others an even bigger house. Could Jezza really change things for low earners ie minimum wage couples or singles with a ridiculous rent to pay. They’re the ones who go hungry.Interesting post Donny !
London Bubble people enjoying a game of football. Got to be true about the London Bubble, cos I’ve read about it and now I’ve seen it :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
There’s those with no religion and those who don’t vote, too, but I don’t know anything – I’m in a London bubble apparently! For the record, Alistair, I know dozens of people from Northern Ireland, probably about 70-30 Protestants over the years, and they’re all somewhat embarrassed by the state of the province’s politics. Given that most of them choose to live over here, that’s not surprising. But what I’m not doing is indulging in I’ll-informed rhetoric. The peace is fragile. The arms that the DUP, under the guise of Ulster Resistance, helped to smuggle in (used in 70 murders) were never decommissioned, they’re still stockpiled. And there was plenty of black loyalist humour online about “getting the boys back together”, when the arguments about Jezza and the DUP started to rage.quote]
Martin, give your head a nudge lad; cos it’s still full of those 1970s images of the Falls road, the Bogside or Drumcree and the stereotypes that the media unwittingly created through unbalanced coverage throughout that period. I suggested you spend at least two years working and living in Northern Ireland ( like I did before and after the GFA , then you would be better informed on how life really is in the provinces. Apart from knowing hundreds of residents in Northern Ireland, of all denominations & beliefs, I also used the opportunity to research the history of the troubles and how it’s drivers changed over time. Yes there are some truly horrific events to reflect upon; but despite that, I see an overwhelming desire to keep the peace of the last 16 years. Even during my time in NI, it was only a disenchanted minority that sought to disrupt life. My last trip was about 18 months ago; and yes I had a leisurely stroll around the Bogside ! Why not, take time out and go undercover in the Provinces and do some proper first hand journalistic research; you might shock yourself ! Martin, in simple terms you are akin to someone who looks at Millwall and declares that all football fans are hooligans. Maybe today’s journalist is a desk bound cyber warrior :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I keep reading here that Labour are villainous opportunists. I’ll tell you what looks opportunist to me: wanging on about the dangers of a “coalition of chaos”, “electing terrorist sympathisers” and the “magic money tree”, then forging an alliance with the political wing of the UDA and UVF and giving said money tree a shake to the tune of £1 billion so that Theresa May could keep hold of her job.As for insulting the whole of NI, Alistair, I would suspect that a good 50% want nothing to do with the DUP, given that they were formed by a joyless Presbyterian who would chain kids’ swings up on a Sunday, called alcohol “the devil’s buttermilk” and marched at the funerals of Loyalist gunmen. The Tory party going into partnership with them – as well as being a huge setback to women’s reproductive rights – makes it impossible for them to be seen as neutral in the talks to restart power sharing at Stormont. So, as I say, they are ripping up the good Friday agreement for political expediency.
Mind you, the Unionist community shouldn’ get too complacent, either. Few have done more to harm to the Union in recent years than David Cameron with his referendum that was only ever designed to end a dispute in the Tory party but now threatens the breakup of the UK and the return of a hard border with the Republic. Good work there, Tories.
Yes Martin, you use the word suspect; so no foundation yet again. It is openly apparent that you know nothing but rhetoric about Northern Ireland; but then, that is good fodder for lazy journalism. I thought you were an open minded individual who would take the time to seek out a balanced view; but hey show’s how I misjudged you. How is life in the London Bubble, by the way :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
w up.
What’s really putting the fragile peace there at risk ?Martin, now you are exposing your journalistic licence by over exaggerating the fragility of the situation. I suspect you have never visited the Provence’s of Northern Ireland, nor truly know any of the people and communities, and their values and outlook on life; nor will you have any concept about the infrastructure of the country and it’s robust economy. In fact, you have just about managed to insult the majority of the population of Northern Ireland by putting your journalistic size nine straight in, without thought or intelligence. Shame on you !
Is that peter reid on the training photos??Yep, he’s heard that we like to play midfielders all over the park; so he’s hoping to get a game or two :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
”that ignorant bigoted IRA and Hamas supporter”
As opposed to May who wants an alliance, an actual political alliance, with ignorant bigoted UVF, anti-gay marriage, climate change deniers, people who believe the Earth is 6000 years old, anti-women’s rights, with leaders who have been pictured with an AK47 rifle and loyalist military uniform?
That Jeremy Corbyn, who opposes that?An alliance with the DUP no matter how nutty they may be is still preferable to that clown having anything to do with governing our country.
If you think things aren’t good now, it would be a darn sight worse after 5 years with Corbyn and co in charge. We would definitely need to be still in the EU as we would all be having to move to Eastern Europe as this country would be f****d.[/quote]At least the DUP are loyal to the flag & to the Queen; more than can be said for weasel Corbyn ( the most detestable Labour leader in my lifetime ).
Who would vote for a man that doesn’t wear the red poppy, sing the national anthem, and will arm us with handbags to fight a war, and has had rumpy pumpy with Dianne Abott.
Plus it’s easy to promise the earth in your manifesto if you know that you have not a cat in hell’s chance of being in the seat of power, in the first place. At least it disrupts the opposition for a while.
Worst Labour mon in my lifetime. Andy Burnham would have been a better shout.
He could be a Jerome Welch protogee, and always —— Off. On the 113 or in the bogs at Carrington Dewhurst’s, or that dodgy club in Salford with Crabsticks Lil.
