https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/statement-from-the-partick-thistle-board-of-directors/ Board statement out. Basically says the article was total shite regarding the playing budget, but doesn’t mention any of the other stuff.

I’d accept losing out on 200k of a transfer budget to not have that Tory c**t running the club, to be honest.

So you’re saying goalkeeping gloves cause cancer? Huge if true.

Demonstrably, they do.

I mean, I’m no expert but I reckon Sinn Fein might know what they’re talking about when it comes to what might prompt trouble in Northern Ireland.

Everyone knows that once a political decision has been made, that’s it finished. That’s why we don’t bother having elections every few years. Because it’s all decided.

I would also argue that Ruth’s electoral “success” owes a great deal to how much of a shambles Scottish Labour have been for years now. I doubt it takes a political masterclass to outmanoeuvre Kezia fucking Dugdale.

The highlights are pretty good, the interviews aren’t particularly good. The live commentary is alright as well. On balance it’s probably worth the 5.99 a month.

Now looks from Twitter like we’re about to announce him... https://mobile.twitter.com/PartickThistle/status/1154009562720063488

Sponsorless or not, those strips are absolutely horrific efforts.

Am I the only one who isn’t a fan of the actual Huddersfield kit? The collar and sleeves are an absolute mess imo. Bonus points for no sponsor, obviously, but I still don’t think it’s all that great.

That’s up there with “addiction is a choice” for me. Absolutely fucking wild.

Why do you think that drug addicts have a responsibility to others, but that you have no responsibility to them?

I think we should try to tackle the factors which lead to people being drug addicts, but also acknowledge that it would be extremely difficult (if not impossible), and that bringing the number of drug addicts down to zero is an unachievable goal. Therefore, we, as a society, need some way to try to deal with the inevitability that some people will be drug addicts in a way that is most beneficial to society. That, to me, is trying to help that person away from drug addiction towards a mire productive future, as far as is possible.

Right. So your solution is to let all current drug addicts die/lock them up forever, and then magically find a way to stop there being any new ones?

Which is absolutely fucking irrelevant when talking about how society should deal with people who currently are drug addicts.

So, in the same way as helping them out of a life of drug addiction would, only without the added potential benefits of that?

How, exactly, does writing off junkies benefit their victims?

And confirmed. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/signing-news-de-vita-joins-on-loan/

Hopefully a heart attack. Could do without them treating him as some sort of martyr who died for the cause of an all white utopia.

That’s not what I asked. Do you think that people’s actions are, to at least some extent, shaped by the society they find themselves in and their experiences of it?

Leaving aside the rest of the stuff you’ve posted, do you believe that people’s actions take place in a vacuum, or do you think that people’s actions are shaped and informed by the circumstances which they find themselves in and life experiences which they’ve had?

Which other vulnerable members of society should we just leave to get on with it?

People don’t wake up one morning with everything in their life perfectly fine and think “I’ll get addicted to heroin today I reckon.” Yes, people make these choices, but a myriad of things lead to these choices. Personal accountability is one thing and to an extent, yes people have to deal with the consequences, but as a society we have (or at least should have) an obligation to protect the most vulnerable people within it, and that definitely includes drug users. Individuals dealing with the consequences of their actions doesn’t, in my view, mean that the rest of us shouldn’t play any part in dealing with the problem.

And I always thought the “Biggie is a racist” stuff was unfounded as well.
