And that?s one of the flaws with activism in general ? it attracts monothematic nitwits who have no sense of proportion, irony, humour or context. Social media has given a platform to these clowns and their gibberish garners the most attention. Remember Yeats: The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity

LM - It's kind of an aside but the thing that always strikes me about the US (other than the race thing which is massive) is job status. I've done a fair bit of work with US companies and colleagues and what you do for work and your job title is massively more important to the average american than brit. Just some quick examples: - seniority matters immensley in US corporate culture, so management is more autocratic; your stated opinion has to align with the boss around ideas etc or keep it to yourself; NEVER be later to a meeting than a senior person; The work status thing is why there's such job title inflation in the US ( everyone in US company is a Vice President of something, whatever they do) - Casual talk with US people reverts to 'what do you do' really quickly; i've known people in the UK for years and still don't have a scoobey what they do and vise versa - Mnay US people will ask you what you earn pretty quickly, almost unheard of here

Sounds like an improvement

I think that's two in a row. You Eggchasers don't 'no nuffink'. Can someone inform Mick Mac please as he wasn't in this this time.

Private Eye

It's absolutely terrible politics especially in the light of having a genuine opportunity to be the party of working people. And Osbourne is often meant to be the political brains. Economically, in the long term, the rational to reduce reliance on tax credits makes sense but taking a grand off the lowest paid workers dos suggest no touch with reality. I can almost imagine them not really getting the value of a grand to the poor. Meanwhile the pensioners get 2.5% rise, itself a result of a political mistake by Gordon Brown when doing something that made economic sense. Osbourne knows he's got to balance the books this time round or he's dead meat and possibly the Tories, although with Jezza they have a chance even if they fail - the result is he'll go for these unpopular decisions as early as possible.

Come on then. Whose gonna start?

Half the fun of students and academia is that they're such a bunch of illiberall twats wrapped up in an ever complex and increasingly paradaoxical web of lefty ideology and identity politics. Obvioulsy not that great for true philisophical thought.

I ask for references

That was a forced substitution after an injury (as you say)not a tactical change

Amis nails it in the Times* today Milne's another joke appointment - a privately educated, stalinist who hates this country and the West and is an apologist for Putin as the whole left now seems to be *yes I know, corporate global, murdoch media, etc etc and whatever other tedious meme's the useful idiots of social media would come up A new kind of politics = my arse , old school leftism mixed with puerile, juvenile social media activism

Rodgers to Villa?

But BFS wouldn't have, that's the point

red devil Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hammers boss Slaven Bilic threw on Carroll for the > last 20 minutes and the home side began pumping > crosses into the box. > > Good to see the spirit of BFS lives on... :) BFS would have bought on Caroll for Sakho in a straight swap aimed at not losing; billion brings on Carroll AND keeps Sakho on the pitch in an attempt to win the game. Says everything you need to know about BFS negative low ambition football. Fit for Bolton, maybe. I am sooooo fooking glad the fat w*nker has gone and given his comment since leaving I'm loving this rubbing his limited capabilities in his fat face. I hope Sunderland go down.

Sooooo Chuffed. Payet is the best player in the Premiership so far this season in my book....his class, work rate, everything is absolutely top notch. Careful what you wish for eh boys? :)

'Twas ever thus. My grandad was a lorry driver in the 30s and, pre traffic lights, he said it used to take 7 policeman to sort out the traffic at the Elephant, even with 1930s traffic

Judging by Talk Talk we'll all be back in branches by 2017
