  1. I have the Limited Edition first gawd knows how many copies with the free interview disc And musically he's from Liverpool
  2. C'mon folks, famous vegan-nazi Morrissey is also a famously republican
  3. Sorry, that is a Russian bum cleaning device
  4. Hitler was 1.75 meters tall. Putin is 1.7 meters tall, there is a difference. Coincidentally, Bonaparte was 1.68 meters tall
  5. Yes, I sort of see that but due to that they had to wait another 18 years until Labour got elected again for there to be a Scottish Assembly. The Tories they supported, never gave them a sniff And a 40% turnout is hardly a very high bar for a referendum that would fundamentally change government (yes I also realise there was an issue with the electoral role too)
  6. OK, imagine the situation a few years hence. Labour are in running the country in a minority government where they have a similar supply and confidence deal with the SNP to the one the Tories had with the DUP. Not exactly that far fetched a situation, I don't think. The Labour government isn't getting instant results at sorting out the mess the Tories left the UK in. The Tories then realise that Scotland is lost to them (because it is), so they offer the SNP a binding referendum if they'll vote with them in a VONC. (The Tories have form for this too) Which way do the SNP go? I know where I'd put my money. Just like the Liberals / LibDems would sell their own children for the mearest sniff of power (thats been the Lib way as long as I've had an interest in politics) the SNP would do the same, I have no doubt. Scottish Independence is what they want and that is fair enough but they'll go with anything they think can deliver that. And I genuinely do think once they'd achieved it, they would implode I don't think any of the main Parties have changed their spots much in the last 50 years Tories - just being Tories but more extreme as time goes on Labour - riven by infighting and only ever stand a chance of being elected when the centrists can subdue the left to the point of irrelevance Libs - the sniffers of the knickers of power. SNP - sell their soul to the devil for independence That has been the way for 50 years and isn't showing any signs of changing
  7. The SNP, the party that often complains about all the years of Tory rule but delivered 18 years of it in 1979 by doing a deal with Thatcher to bring down the Callaghan Government in a VONC AKA the Tartan Tories As Callaghan said at the time, the turkeys that voted for Christmas. Thats my problem with the SNP, the independence issue aside, there’s nothing that binds them together. Some of them I like, some I don’t and if they gained independence they’d be arguing like rats in a sack for a very long time.
  8. Tbh I don’t care. I’ll pick up the CD at some point but it’s never in stock when I remember to look
  9. Chariots of Fire pah Blade Runner yep but that shouldn't be what he's remembered for. This is... This album has been at the very top of my want list for a very long time. The whole album is a masterpiece
  10. Look at Michael Gove, he clearly doesn't realise that he's an arse and that no-one likes him. He wants the job Liz Truss, will do absolutely anything short of stripping off and dancing on the spare plinth at Trafalgar Square (and I'm not even sure about that) to get the job They aren't alone
  11. This has been said quite a few times in the last few years and the answer was a clear resounding, yes they do
  12. You’d have to go somewhere else first, you need to sort a visa for Australia
  13. Nope, we just have the Acting one in place, so this won't taint who is chosen for the job
  14. The first thing you do if you win big on the lottery is sod off to that abroadia for a few weeks holiday and let the dust settle without telling anyone
  15. You must have missed that they actually use trained dolphins to protect the Sevastopol Naval Base (not a joke)
  16. Morrissey to close with the Queen is Dead
  17. China has absolutely no intention of sending any troops or even help right now China says and China does are two completely different things most of the time
  18. It's worse than that, they can only be arsed to sting you in the first place if they feel really really threatened
  19. Whilst we're on the subject of Tory criminality... this story broke last week in New York The whole thread is worth a read.
  20. The key word there was queue (and I've been stuck in it enough times to know)
  21. Only a rumour at this stage but this is obviously in Russian held territory There is also another rumour that a high ranking Russian Officer has been killed in Melitopol but possibly in a different incident
