Top 3 all got last night's 1-1 score right...:)

According to the back of my bill the sort code is 62-24-00, and the account number is 96828803. I pay mine using a credit card via the Southwark website...https://ip.e-paycapita.com/AIP/dataEntry.do?link=showDataEntryPage&requestId=lo41tiima0c0fhhe1cagjmroyk3bop0 Have also paid using the automated phone on 0345 600 0611...

Director's Cut, innit...

I've only been watching the LL the past few years, and only then when there hasn't been something that appeals on BBC4's music night. Just looks like your standard Gov bashing rather than Tory bashing per se (Trump has taken a lot of stick too), whoever's in power gets it in the neck, they're the ones making the decisions that affect our lives. If it feels one-sided, you have to remember that the Tories have been in power for well over 10 years now, before the LL even started...

Week 24 points... Week 24 table...

I think with Mayoral elections people are less inclined to vote purely along party lines, ditto local elections, and the individual comes more into play, hence why the 'liberal' version of Johnson won. Bailey is an appalling choice of candidate, trying to tap into an illiberal, nationalist populist vote that simply hasn't got the numbers in London, witness his Tweeted attempt to capitalise on the murder of that young woman yesterday. I would've thought the Tories had learned a lesson with Goldsmith's rejection last time after pandering to islamophobia. Obviously not...

On the subject of prejudice and predictability (out now in paperback), at the start of this thread I could've drawn up a list of the anti-Meghan posters and would've been spot on bar one. Surprise, surprise, they all have one thing in common...

No need for running tabs or in-depth searches, that was all top of the head stuff, the Plough reference was fresh from Sainsbury's in-store bakery this morning! As for the passport/nationality stuff, you have to admit that's fairly unique, which is probably why it stuck in the memory bank. I think it's quite common for people to build up a mental picture of a poster from what they write, over time developing the 'character', no different to say from reading a book or listening to a radio play. I also think what a poster writes does influence how people react to their posts, just like it would in the 'real world'. It would be na?ve to think that everyone gets a clean slate with each post. Dare I say it, it's a form of prejudice. > ............. To then claim that I take > this view because racsism and misogyny is > exemplifying the very laziness that you have > bemoaned. I didn't have your posts in mind when referring this afternoon to the casual misogyny in this thread. See what happens when you carry prejudicial thoughts...;-)

If people can't see some of the casual misogyny and lazy stereotyping in this thread then they need to head to Barnard Castle. There are two people in the H&M relationship yet from some of the comments in this thread you'd think it was only one. The narrative by the press and again by some comments in this thread is that of a scheming, manipulative woman out to get her ''15 minutes of fame''. In case people have forgot, M had a career before she met H, and let's be honest, you don't get to choose to have a relationship with a prince, they choose you. If you want to know what scheming and manipulative looks like, look no further than H's mum Diana, chosen purely to be baby machine while Chazzer carried on knobbing Camilla in the pantry. The Royal Family was a bunch of dysfunctional inbreds way before M rocked up...

No one is as anonymous as they like to think they are Cat. Have you heard about the middle-aged Australian bloke who holds an EU passport due to his Italian heritage, also a UK passport holder after marrying a Brit, has kids, lives near the Plough, and recently changed jobs?...;-)

Any different to the 'goals' that Prince Andrew had in mind?...

I haven't been keeping up with this thread but upon reading binky's comment I've just read through it in it's entirety, it does indeed stink in parts...

Politicians have caught on that you can tell a lie and it firmly becomes embedded in their base, as well as going half way round the world, by the time it gets fact-checked, and as with Trump, the viewings of the lie far outnumber the fact checking...

You see it a lot in modern day 'journalism', especially contrarians like the spiked-online mob, who instead of working through context and nuances towards a conclusion, they start with a conclusion that fits in with their culture war narrative and work back from that. A distinct lack of original, critical thinking...

Any coincidence that Hammers perform much better without their fans? Meanwhile, another piece falls into place of Gerrard becoming Liverpool manager, Low quitting Germany job after the Euros...

You need to look much closer to home than that Morag...ye ken

''I didn't watch it but I'm going to comment anyway despite not knowing the full context of what was said, and instead will form my opinion from the comments of assorted cultural keyboard warriors'' What a fooking bunch of gossiping fishwives...:)
