Sorry but I think this is hillarious!


Spurs target holding out for 'top club'

by Tom Adams, 08 January 2008


Ajax left back Urby Emanuelson has revealed that a heart-to-heart with former Tottenham midfielder Edgar Davids has turned him against a possible move to White Hart Lane.


The North London club are believed to have made an approach for the Ajax defender who has been linked with all manner of clubs thanks to his impressive performances in De Eredivisie.


Emanuelson has now told Spurs not to waste their time attemping to agree a deal with his club though as he is holding out for a move to a bigger side after taking advice from Davids.


"I have talked about it with Edgar Davids, because he played there," Emanuelson told Sportweek magazine.


"Edgar told me it was a great club, but that I should not join Spurs. He said to me: 'You are an Ajax player, you are young and talented, so you only need to go to a top club in England, Spain or Italy'.


"I have thought about what he said and I think he is right."


Emanuelson?s declaration is a further transfer blow for Spurs who have already seen Rangers right back Alan Hutton turn down a move to White Hart Lane in January.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
