Re: The UK political thread (formerly independence thread)
It's not an enviable choice this election, but I'm willing to take a risk on Labours radical plans. It is a very big risk, however, and people should have their eyes open to that fact. I dont think its all that radical in the grand scheme of things really. Its a big change for the UK for sure and s...

There are many Labour voters (me included) who see Diane Abbott as a liability. Then again, in terms of gaffes and errors I would argue that Boris has been just as bad over the years.

Why would having a female leader make a difference?

Re: What made you Lol Today?
I mean, in fairness, I suppose we should feel sorry for Boris. Who knew that being a high-profile politician and then eventually PM meant having to face some members of the public who don't agree with you?! Poor, precious little snowflake Boris. Hope he found a nice safe space inside away from all t...

Re: What made you Lol Today?
2 days after comparing himself to The Hulk, Boris Johnson has run away from a press conference with the leader of one of the smallest nations in the EU because a few people were booing him.
Don't recall seeing that any of the Marvel movies...
What a fucking clown.

Re: Use of Referendums
I think you're asking the wrong question (which, ironically was the problem with the EU referendum). The issue is not what percentage or ratio is required for the result to be legally binding. The issue is the question needs to be properly framed and actually have had some forethought behind it. Usi...

Re: EU Referendum and Afterwards
The turnout was actually 36.9%. Which is 35% lower than the referendum. Can't say I'm surprised though - EU elections have always been met with somewhat of a collective shrug from most of the electorate as most people couldn't name their incumbent MEP or even know what they actually do. I voted but ...

Re: The Voting Age
Just raise it back to 21 If they remove income tax and NI contributions from your pay until you're 21 too then fine. Why do you believe those things should be linked? Income tax is needed to fund running the country. NI is used to fund benefits. Neither of which have any bearing on voting age. It's...

Re: The UK political thread (formerly independence thread)
So Theresa has announced another vote for her deal on 29th January, as the government clearly aren't happy that they lost and want to have another crack at the whip. Hmmm..... I think Newsthump have perfectly summed up the irony of this whole fiasco: https://newsthump.com/2019/01/18/we-are-having-a-...

Re: The Wrestling Thread
Until the wrestlers acknowledge the idiots and stop wrestling rather than ignoring or even worse playing up to them you'll not make much progress on the idiots. I actually think wrestlers should go down this route a lot more. Obviously in WWE they can't really confront fans directly due to the PG n...

Re: The Wrestling Thread
Judging by what you guys have said I'm not sure if I am going to even bother with the highlights for Extreme Rules. Also agreed on the annoyance of smarky chants. I fucking despise the "one fall" and "We/this is awesome" chants with a passion. I've always hated the whole "o...

Re: The Wrestling Thread
I know what you mean about the PPV length - WWE really need to rein that shit in as even shows which are chock full of good matches like New Japan's can be a bit of an endurance test when they go over the 3-4 hour mark. Of course it didn't help that aside from Strowman v Owens, the whole show up to ...

Re: The Wrestling Thread
Watched Extreme Rules last night/this morning. Was a very average show although I enjoyed the Strowman/Owens cage match and I would have enjoyed the Ziggler/Rollins match way more if not for the obnoxious, pathetic, attention-seeking bellends in the crowd. Seriously - wtf.
