Your mum doesn't have a readership of millions though. Staggers me that the rags in this country are a) allowed to spew their bullshit about whoever they fancy under the banner of 'free press' and b) still attract a massive core of people who believe the aforementioned bullshit.

Obsession. Good effort in derailing the thread though 👏

Blackpool
Really good, tonight. That's 5 out of the current top 6 we've played and, barring the kids falling apart v Ipswich, we've not been bossed in any of them, and have been unlucky to not get a couple of wins out of them. Is the quality in League One really that poor? We really could do with playing Wimbledon or someone soon and absolutely smashing them. It's coming.

Unelectable, perhaps. Fascist? 😆 Yet again missing the point. Call Corbyn a Nazi all you want, it's a free country. I'm just questioning the consistency of you and your 'ilk', flip-flopping between terms such as fascist and commie because, horseshoe theory or not, you're making yourselves sound utterly baseless and really quite silly.

I did wonder if he had only posted in this topic as it came up in his daily search for 'Manchester' using the forum look-up function...

Smart arse. Whenever I've been, Liverpool has four conveyors open, Manchester T2 had 8. Still chaotic at Manchester.

Interesting one with security. I've consistently found Liverpool airport MILES easier through security, no matter the time of day. I find it well worth the 15 minutes extra in the car just to get through security and relax. By comparison, Manchester security feels like Aldi on a Sunday afternoon.

Ah yes, 'the fucking message'. I know exactly the one as it comes out like a broken record every time a Brexiteer opens their mouth: Leave means Leave, You Lost We Won, British Bulldog spirit, zzzzzzz As I've said, I and most other people 'of my ilk' can accept leaving the EU. The problem is, whenever any aspect of the Leave narrative is questioned, it all comes back to 'But We Won', like the dribblings of petulant toddler. If there's a deal that doesn't impact on the British economy and doesn't fuck up Ireland, I'm right up for it. Great, let's move on. However, we're all still waiting for Johnson and his collection of Yes men to come up with an actual solution. Going off the past three years, we have every right to be just a little sceptical.

Heaven forbid there are two people in this world who think the likes of 'NF' (quite an apt acronym) are toxic liars. --- Mounts, cards on the table, I have generally voted Labour, barring a brief flirtation with the Lib Dems when Nick Clegg shamelessly lied for votes. Once bitten and all that - probably why I wasn't exactly keen on putting my X next to 'Leave' in 2016. I must ask: why are you interested? Did my answer match what you expected?

But it won't be a 'shocking mess' because Nigel, Man of the People, promised we'd all be able to grow magic money trees in our back yards once we're free from nasty EU tyranny. You're such an England-hating traitor for having these negative, unhelpful thoughts!! Brexit means Brexit, shut up snowflake, you lost.

Come off it! Spider has just given an example of how Brexit has already negatively affected his employer, and some of his colleagues. What would leaving say, two years ago, with everyone holding hands and walking into the sunset with no deal (or a piss poor deal as the remaining EU members still wouldn't have to budge), have actually changed in that situation? --- As an aside, yes, some within Antifa are utter bellends (although I'm intrigued by that American dialect). However, using the same brush to jointly tar the pricks in the video and over 16m British people/libtards/snowflakes/MSM-reading remoaners is poisonous, and hardly conducive to the fantasyland united front Leavers say would have made the whole exit process oh-so-simple. Point-scoring based on a blinkered version of the truth. It's like being back in primary school, but in 2019, Leave.EU is somehow accepted as a political steering group.

I went in it a few weeks back because our flight (and many others) had a three hour delay due to an issue with French air traffic control, and the terminal was absolutely heaving. Wouldn't usually pay it but under those circumstances, comfy seats, plenty of booze and decent grub beat sitting on the floor with a Boots meal deal listening to screaming kids. Pretty good to be honest, set the holiday off really well. No idea on discount codes, I paid walk up £45 each (thought it was cheaper if you pre-booked though?)

Blackpool
I don't have Sky so I don't know the situation with the red button - is that Championship fixtures only? Shambles all round if we're only getting £30k as mentioned earlier. Pity as well as Blackpool are one I'd have down for bringing a good sized (lucrative) following on a Saturday 3pm. Either way, feeling slightly confident that this is the game where it clicks. Undoubtedly shitty weather, on telly and stacked against the odds - shades of Villa a couple of seasons ago?

Can't disagree with that. Brexit was the ultimate protest vote by a disillusioned populace. It's just unfortunate that, as it stands, it looks to have been far from a wholly positive decision. I may be wrong, but it hasn't been the most comfortable three years for, well, anyone. Oh, and Moonboy, your implication of electoral fraud in Bolton is exactly the kind of unfounded nonsense that inspired the Leave vote. Perhaps you should move into political PR?

Probably the most sensible admission I've seen from any poster on here, on any side of the debate. Nobody knew for sure what they were voting for, no matter what they voted. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying to suit their agenda, or very delusional. ('In my opinion', of course, because the likes of Dave Bloggs the shelf-stacker from Radcliffe is infinitely well versed in macroeconomics and knew the exact implications of a Leave vote in 2016.) I voted to remain because I was happy enough with the stability of the status quo, and couldn't figure out a tangible benefit of leaving that wasn't blatant bullshit isolationist Cummings propaganda lying about waves of scary Turks coming over to squat in your attic.

The UK exported £289bn tariff-free to the EU in 2018 (46% of our global exports, or 7x the divorce bill, or £5.5bn a week). We don't exactly have the best bargaining position, even if Boris somehow wriggles out of paying that often-quoted £39bn - a payment which pales into insignificance compared to the value of free European trade. Never mind, think positive - we've got continuity arrangements for trading with the likes of Malawi, Belize and Kiribati!

Old Labour Clubs.
Always thought it odd that BL2 still has three Conny clubs within spitting distance from each other along Bury Road... in a seat that has been Labour since we left Burnden. Not a Labour club in sight (to my knowledge) - Tonge Ward shut down ages ago.
