The bar has been set. Patel and the Home Office have zero authority in our communities.

Quite. One possible solution is stiffer sentencing for the capital's rover driving, cardigan wearing, puddle drinking community.

Hasbara gonna hasbara I guess.

Reported.

Imagining the reaction if a Labour shadow minister had gone on BBC radio and said that if people wanted to invite holocaust deniers to universities to speak about how the holocaust never happened, then that was fine. I wonder if like the above, it would barely make the news and be almost instantly forgotten about, or if it would be the main story in Britain for at least a week, with calls for at least half a dozen people to resign.

Interesting that our government has banned BDS, but holocaust denial falls under free speech and is fine. It's perfectly fine for our government to entertain confirmed antisemites like Bin Salman and Orban, but anyone not agreeing to everything in the IHRA is simply beyond the pale and a disgusting antiisemite who should be driven from public life.

Oh boy. Going to see if I can find any historical parallels of mobs roaming the streets smashing up shops owned by a minority demographic.

Hmmm, full control over defence, foreign policy, immigration and energy versus fishing and state subsidies. Very tough decision

Go on then... What decisions ?

Are we not going to be friends, neighbours and trading partners any more with the rUK and the unaccountable House of Lords, just because we think that the important decisions regarding Scotland should be made in Edinburgh rather than London ? Very sad if true.

Aye, it was a good game. Some balls out stuff from you towards the end had me slightly worried with my king a bit exposed.

Read the very next sentence I wrote. I don't think rejoining the EU is going to be a hard sell to a Scottish public that overwhelmingly voted for it, or that the EU are going to be intransigent about us rejoining.

Yes you can. It's one of a number of bad faith arguments that the No side will put up. If we're willing go on the back foot and willing to get pulled into trying to explain big complex answers to obvious bullshit like 'you'll be forced to use the Euro', then I'd rather we didn't bother at all, because in that case, we'll already be beat.

'The cycle is over'

Like sandalwood and vanilla.

The main commentator is fine, but the other one, Aberdonians have a wee bit of a reputation for being dour and his team is losing, but fucking hell. Almost on the verge of hoping Aberdeen score as I'm losing the will to live here.

Who does the RedTV commentary ?

Fortunately, the same people who will be touting the 15 year timescales and the forced entry into the Euro will be the same folk who were shouting that the only way to remain in the EU was to vote No.

Incorrect. Batley and Spen was a cartoon show from the 70's produced by the BBC to compete directly with Hanna Barbara's "Dastardly and Muttley". They later made a live action version of the cartoon.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Reported. Although I expect no action will be taken by the moderators.

Just finished reading it. With this and comparing himself to Muhammad Ali earlier in the week, you really have to say fair play. It's in the spoiler if anyone wants cheering up of a Wednesday evening. I have my doubts that it's the last we've heard of this creepy wee bigot though.
