Absolutely, a pointless post unless the 'institution' is named...

Interesting how 'liberal' has become a catch-all put down. Back in the day it would be 'Commie' or 'Trot', then in more recent times 'Lefty'. Even our very own Louisa is using 'social democrat' as a put down :) ...

You do get some strange allegiances this time of the season, in the Predictor game too. I had Liverpool down for a 3-1 win, and at 2-1 with 10 mins to go was hopeful of 3 points, until those Cherry bastards let me down...

What Quids said. No one is saying he can't say what he said if it's within the law, it's just that what he said is at odds with what the Labour party supposedly stands against...

100...and Livingstone can fook off too :)

Sounds like an isolationist reaction against isolationism...

Pac Man on Google Maps... :)

No, but I did use them to counter stinging nettles. It worked but also left a green smear. Your Mum must've wondered what you'd been eating that day...

100... :)

Not so fast, robbin of Brexitwood hath spoken: ...but there's also major benefits - a substantial increase in tourism, hotels sold out, restaurants busy, local businesses in London busier... We're gonna need a lot more of those pesky immigrants!...

After the tub-thumping of her Tory party conference and Lancaster Gate speeches, May's letter looked decidedly conciliatory by comparison. As a Remainer I'm not one who wishes the economy to go belly-up just so I can later say ''I told you so''. It's a difficult situation to be in, I don't want Brexit to be a success because one day I would want us to rejoin the EU, but equally I don't want the country to suffer economically. Personally I believe there will be hardship, but probably no worse than the credit crunch, and we'll therefore have to put up with many more years of 'austerity'. But for me it wasn't just about the economy, there's the social aspect too. How we're perceived as a nation to the rest of the world. I don't particularly want to live in a country that's doing ok economically if it means isolationism, inward thinking, and an increasingly xenophobic and jingoistic outlook, and that's how it's felt since the referendum. Then there's the long-term political outlook. The hard-right of the Tory party seized their chance and have taken a power-hold on their party. May has become a puppet, the acceptable face of Brexit. They are hell-bent on leaving the EU at any cost, even if it means Scotland leaving the Union. And if that happens their grip will get even tighter. Overnight a Tory majority goes from a smallish one to a very comfortable one. In a democracy, regardless of your politics, an effective opposition is a prerequisite, and we certainly haven't got that now despite the Gov's small majority, and it's likely to get worse unless Corbyn does the decent thing. Still, the sun will continue to come up...

Mick's trolling = Mick's never had a thread this popular before... :)

What is ''the social democratic agenda of the majority on here'' Lou?...

As I said earlier, with freedom of speech comes responsibility. If someone crosses a line e.g. is knowingly racially offensive, then it's not intolerant to say that person is being intolerant...
