  • Yeah, I kinda liked it. I can see why people wouldn't & there was plenty about it that fell flat, but both the cast & period of musical history had potential.  DId Dj Kool Herc ever get paid by them tho?

  • never let the truth get in the way of a good rant i say
  • This is pretty golden. Skip to about 6.30 if you want to see a young Gove quiz a convicted bankwobber on what he'd like to do if locked in a room with a nonce. (Although Baddiel's skit on how children are, in truth, little bastards is probably mo…
  • The level of the exprofeshional pundit is possibly a good insight into why English football has achieved so little in the past decades. These are apparently the trusted voices of the senior generation and most of them struggle to string together a c…
  • skel said: Okem said: Not sure what their 'natural audience' is any more though. The Union member filled Northern industrial towns that were Labour heartlands are also things of the past. The Blair years led them to be overly dependant on…

  • skel said: Okem said: Well the other thing the left desperately need is credible leadership that appeals to its natural audience, not just the rich Islington elite and student politicos stuck in an 80s smash the system time warp  Fi…
  • Well the other thing the left desperately need is proportional representation. If we are going to have a fairer system of governance, which is apparently what this Brexit vote was partially about, the whole thing needs an overhaul tbh. Instead what …
  • I remember years ago before tiki taka became all the rage I was watching some young team, the German U21s maybe, and they'd play their way around defenses and out of tight situations using small triangles of players. That simply requires a sense of …
  • some of these answers seem a little too cool for school. I remember finding this in my Dad's small pile of 45s and playing it over and over.  I have a strong memory of this song, although i'm not entirely sure why I dont remember owning a copy
  • Lol of all the things I'd expect to get rep\d on theStrut Only Connect would be pretty low on the list. I'm a fan, and of Victoria Coren Mitchell's buxom baby bumpness as well. I like the word wall and I'm surprisingly good at the missing vowels rou…
  • skel said: Being in the EU never stopped any of those bad things tho, eh? Plenty recessions, crises, even wars. And so its point is what, exactly? That's not the point and you know it. Brexit was sold to the people as a solution to these …
  • https://twitter.com/jamieross7/status/747019954214535168 what a mess.
  • If Boris Johnson looked downbeat yesterday, that is because he realises that he has lost.Perhaps many Brexiters do not realise it yet, but they have actually lost, and it is all down to one man: David Cameron.With one fell swoop yesterday a…
  • No Brexit plan.  https://twitter.com/wrongisland/status/747054406026289152
  • Ireland voted Brexit. 
  • skel said: I get it. You didn't like the way a democratic vote panned out. Perhaps you'd prefer a system where our betters decide for us, eh? Where I live Labour barely even field a candidate, so a vote for them is utterly pointless. Democra…
  • Do you actually believe that Brexit will change any of that? Zero hour contracts aren't a product of the EU. Eastern Europeans in Brum and elsewhere aren't going anywhere soon. And businesses will continue to out source jobs in a global economy. Mos…
  • Leaving the EU was sold to 'the people' as an anti establishment & anti centralised power thing, a grass-roots taking back of the power. It didn't matter that it was a complete lie and we could end up having to give away similar powers and sover…
  • The back peddling on the bullshit Leave promised didn't take long did it.  https://twitter.com/chrisshipitv/status/746214576048353280 When all the other shit the Leave people have been peddling doesn't happen either what then? 
  • Can we still call it Britain if it's just us and the Welsh? The Scots voted Remain by a majority, so them leaving the Union now seems only a matter of time. The Welsh, despite receiving 500 million annually in EU aid, voted leave. Let's see how well…
  • At the end of the day I think the 'Vote Leave, take back control, make Britian great again' message was always going to pull harder on emotions than 'we're better as a part of the EU' the other side were peddling. Serveys have already shown that the…
  • The fact that the out campaign are peddling all that "make Britain great again" bullshit should be a red flag to any intelligent person. Those fucks think things can go back to the good ol days where we went around muscling nations to buy our shit. …
  • Same guy who directed the Hardhome episode from last season. He seems to be the best director working on the show, the guy who directed the previous episode seems to be at the other end of that list.  There's been some great stuff in this season's …
