  1. Hypocrite Unc likes hypocrite O'Neill shocker. When O'Neill tried to justify his avocating of riots he said "There is a fine tradition in this country of radical protests - right from the levellers in the 1640s to the chartists in the 1840s to the suffragettes who did take direct action... when their voices have been ignored.". Yet O'Neill is happy to mock XR for their direct action radical protests...
  2. Meds, are you predicting the Ire game with your head or your heart?...
  3. For everyone going on the big march tomorrow, keep the faith...

  6. I have a mix of original art and prints on neutral walls, less is more. I also like 'leaning' artwork against a wall either at floor level or on a shelf (along with ornaments, photos etc). This has the advantage that they can be easily moved around until the 'right' place is found. The frame is important too as the wrong frame can spoil good artwork. I would never buy any original artwork online without seeing it first in person, even a litho print can look very different online. Also with some artwork it's just as much about the texture and even the smell of the materials used, which you can never appreciate from an online image...

The whole point of any protest is to raise greater awareness of your cause. XR have achieved that but they need to choose their targets more carefully. Ordinary people (and Princesses) commuting by tube shouldn't be a target, they are the people you need on your side...
  8. Said without any hint of irony from someone who quotes Brendan O'Neill...
  9. Changing opinion would require an admittance that they were wrong, hence the constant scrambling around for quasi-justifications like the ridiculous Nor-Swe border comparison...
  10. There have been some strange bedfellows during the Brexit process but this takes some beating, Farage snuggling under the duvet with Hilary Benn... :) So an unelected, retiring bureaucrat says: No extension, take this new treaty or just leave. He is overriding the Benn Act. The EU shows itself to be a thuggocracy - power without accountability. Appalling people.
  11. Nor-Swe border has border infrastructure and checks, which is not allowed under GFA...
  12. Media obsessed with the will they won't they (DUP) over NI customs etc while ignoring that this deal is economically worse than May's deal. So called sovereignty won't put food on your plate and pay the gas bill...
  13. Yep, it was about a week ago that I saw it...

  15. Apparently the protesters are ''old anti-capitalist rent-a- mob ravers combined with naive school kids and their virtual signalling parents'' and '' protesters include a princess, aristocrats, posh Guardianistas''. So, quite a varied demographic then. And as for someone quoting O'Neil...:)
  16. There's almost perfect symmetry with the Japan v Scotland forecasts, a nation divided, sounds familiar...
  17. There's a clothing/shoes recycling unit on the corner shop side of the Upland Rd/Hindmans Rd junction...
  18. They've posted this update...

We recommend making your picks based on whatever you think the results are likely to be if the matches are played. If the matches are played, points will be awarded as usual. If the matches aren't played, no points will be awarded.
  19. I was wondering with all this talk about an election what exactly will the Tories propose in their manifesto. Seems like a memo was sent yesterday that implied they would go for No Deal to stave off any of their disgruntled voters switching to the Brexit Party. Cue disgruntled One Nation Tories. Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving...
  20. Apparently it was yesterday's Leave.EU xenophobic meme that pushed him. Did he not see the 'Breaking Point' meme over 3 years ago? Some Brexiters do seem to find it hard to accept that they climbed into bed with racists and xenophobes...
  21. Today's date is a palindrome... 91019
