At least he's moved on from kids

Why would he want our cowards involved, with their bags of Lego and cap guns? Starmer won’t have dead soldiers on his conscience. Neither will Trump to be fair, he couldn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.

And this is how these may relate to MAGA and other groups which is not what I intended, but since I started reading this again after a few years I thought i would undertake the exercise. Because I have a lot of work to do and I am always looking for an excuse not to do it. 1. The cult of tradition - Its in the name "Make America Great Again" 2. Rejection of modernism - Resistance to modern regulations protections for example ECHR. Not trump but I am sure we can find an example. 3. Action for actions sake - He is certainly impulsive. 4 Disagreement is treason - See everyone who has ever disagreed with him 5. Fear the difference - Build the wall 6. Frustrated middle class - Front page of yesterdays daily mail was something like "the middle class will pay". Again not trump but I am sure examples could be found 7. Obsession with the plot - QAnon 8. The enemy is both too strong and too weak - They are going to Nuke everyone or we have destroyed them in two weeks. 9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy - His diplomatic efforts seem to involve a lot of military threats and actions (see 3) 10 Contempt for the weak - I support winners not losers. 11. The hero narrative - Storm the capital 12. Machismo and Weaponry - Our thoughts and prayers. 13. Selective populism - My words represent working people 14. Newspeak - MAGA I am sure if I could be bothered you could link these to pretty much every party of every colour, but it is clear that politics at the moment bears a resemblance to what one observer thought went on in Italy and Germany nearly a century ago, and more so than when he wrote it 35 years ago

Stephen Miller is the real fascist. Trump is just the dumb figurehead.

I haven't noticed the prices go up. And I only ever put a tenner in!

Fascist? Probably not, think that needs some sort of warped sense of loyalty to others Narcissistic senile cunt? Oh aye

Thanks in advance.

I saw you there too

Goes to some DOGGING site for people in Mobility scoters

The Don 😉

Haah. Yes. Plus the Feinians. What a great day.

Now the bucket hat wearing 'Red Wall' are out the media love-in can concentrate 100% on the Jocks

Pretty much If there's any pattern to his behaviour, it's that he acts in whatever he thinks is in his personal best interests

Not one that will get you up to Rivi and back

I liked this.......

You get an amazing sense of power and control posting several posts at once

I didn’t say he was a fascist. What I was pointing out is that Umberto Eco wrote an essay in the mid‑1990s called “Eternal Fascism: Fourteen Ways of Looking at a Blackshirt”. resembling the article in the post above. In it, he outlined fourteen traits that can appear in different forms of what he called “Ur‑Fascism” — recurring patterns of thought or behaviour that historically show up in fascistic ideologies. It isn’t about labelling specific individuals as fascists. It’s about identifying certain characteristics or tendencies that might echo aspects of earlier fascist movements, even if they don’t add up to full‑blown fascism. He also makes it clear that these traits aren’t a checklist, and that not all need to be present for the comparison to be relevant. The reason I mentioned it is because some of the traits Eco described reminded me of what was quoted in the post above. That’s all. The essay was written long before Trump was a political figure, so it obviously wasn’t aimed at him or anyone contemporary.

I always liked this one

Knocked some old lady out for the last pack of carling

Wait until they put boots on the ground, and seize that Kharg Island place. I doubt it's stopping any time soon, sadly. I get the feeling that the US want/need a deal to happen more than Iran do at this stage. Obviously none of us know, but it does feel like the US and Israel have gone in all guns blazing, without a plan of what to do to end the conflict. The UK and EU have done well to keep out of this (as much as they can) - it's Trumps fuck up, let the US deal with it

Where is this mate? And do you know anywhere I can hire a mobility scooter?

You suggested in your original post that they all got away with it. Which isn’t true. Details matter

He's alot of bad things but he's not a fascist

What it ensures is that issues the Govt do not like do not just get forgotten. I agree there are very few answers but it keeps a subject ‘live’. So small boats and Mandelson would have had zero coverage today otherwise. The Reform walk out, does its job of getting that story back up in lights. As the weather improves are we going to see bigger, smaller of just the same numbers ? It also lets the PM highlight how badly wrong Reform and the Tories got the call on Iran.

I think you're the only one missing the point. It might have been going on for over a century or so but sometimes things come to an end, and this is most definitely one. Saying that, I watch it every week because it makes me laugh. Especially when the Conservatives start chanting 'yes yes yes' behind Kemi's bold statements about Starmer's cock ups. Others who make me chuckle are Ed Davey, Nigel Farage and that bald fella from the SNP. In the past when Labour were the opposition Dianne Abbot and David Lammy were worth a watch for a laugh. It is, as someone pointed out, just a pantomime were you know what's going to be asked by the main speakers followed by more trivial questions that would be asked at local council level. I can't believe why it's still televised but like I said, it's good for a laugh. The speaker is also funny whether it's Lindsay Hoyle or previously John Bercow. In fact, the more I think about it, let's keep it going 😀

And they avoid the question and the whole thing turns into a pantomime and a slagging match It's awful and no historical importance will change what it is now

we had £630 in the pot then just paid £90 for the next 6 months for the forum software licence leaves us with £540

Ha ha heard that. Good to hear Josh Jamesy on, like him.

I'll try again

Utter woke nonsense. 😄

That would be a bigger lie than smashing the gangs. Regardless of who’s asking the question, it’s one the definitely deserves some kind of answer, not some stuttering whataboutery

Heavy cummer, with poor directional control?

These last set of games, drawing isn't a bad result. We are good at drawing and we don't lose often. We've got the 6-7 point gap. We aren't catching Cardiff. A draw at Plymouth is fine. 1-1 draw will do.

Arse. In LOV for this. 10 of us old fuckers who’ve known each other for 50 odd years go LOV twice a year. Last time was Cardiff. That’s both games moved to 12.30. Fuck it. LOV, afternoon in H Town, meal, Premier Inn. Nowt like a bit of pissed old folk carnage

I just don't see Trafford above the level of either Ramsdale or Pope currently, on physicality if nothing else. But I don't claim to have studied all 3 properly, just looks like the least of Newcastle's problems is their keeper.

Keown is a seriously odd bloke

Never ceases to amaze me this place. As much as we all bicker and spend days on end waffling shite to eachother I know we've all got eachothers backs. The support from folk on here has been unbelievable and can't thank you all enough. Lads I've never even met sticking a few bob in. Honestly from the bottom of my heart I thank you all. Not just donations but support as well. You are unbelievable people.

I’d like to think of myself as more of a Home Bargains Pep who will never stop questioning trying to play with a 10 despite, on the evidence of the last 12 months, not having anyone in the entire squad capable of doing it.

Whatever SS does, there'll always be some cunt that thinks he knows better.... Got some right proper Poundshop Peps on here, all of them feckin clueless.....

If you don't think he's altered the shape and dynamic of the midfield over the course of this season then you've been watching the wrong team. One lot are saying he needs a settled team the other saying we haven't changed enough. He's openly said he will change to suit each opposition. That's his way. Fuckin get on with it. He sticks with a none firing Burstow and Randall at 10 over Xmas he'd have been burnt at the stake. He gets it right a lot and wrong sometimes. He's using a collection of division 3 players and lads who's parent club don't want em. It is what it is.
