  1. It's just business as usual for the American Empire. The only difference is guys like Pompeo and Bolton are honest about it. There hasn't been a qualitive change in US foreign policy (maybe any policy?) since Reagan.
  2. You've got the choice not to buy it!
  3. Basically McDonnell refused to walk into the Tory trap of turning the narrative of the budget into a debate about tax rates for individuals earning circa 50 grand a year. Which then kicked the reserve army of Tories you listed into action to try and ensure that workers earning a good wage are pitted against workers earning medium and low wages. Which obviously has the effect of taking the focus off continued austerity, increasing in work poverty, universal credit and terrible fiscal projections for growth, wages and productivity.
  4. Whether you pay for it is neither here nor there. Lots of people will because it's guaranteed entertainment (unlike something like Frampton vs Selby). The point is if Chisora has choice between £800,000 on normal Sky and £2,000,000 on PPV why would he take less? These guys are putting their health on the line, they are correct to grab every single penny they can.
  5. The fighters will make more money on PPV. Why should Chisora and Whyte take less than they their market value?
  6. Kalle "likes a night out in Glasgow".
  7. The super 6 is about player development though. There is no reason why it diminishes the existing league structure. There will be players at the Super 6 ckubs with no interest in playing in the super six and also a lot of player with no links to the s6 clubs joining solely to play at that level to progress their careers. I don't imagine there will be many players in the super 6 older than 25.
  8. The Nazis pretty much invented privatizations. They flogged off all the state assets accumulated by the Weimar government to their industrialist backers dirt cheap. 50 years later Thatcher would do the same thing.
  9. Gatland classy as ever at the press conference
  10. Lot of experience in the backs and the back row for Wales.
  11. It'll be a hard task for Edinburgh with two young locks again. Carmicheal and McKenzie both being injured is a disaster. Ex Glasgow back row Lewis Wynne on the bench.
  12. Hopefully Frisbee makes amends for his shocker in Port Elizabeth. That team is a capable of getting a result tomorrow. Edit - just noticed that Niko is covering scrum half on the bench.....
  13. Is it not better to look at the Super Six as a completely new level of competition? So the 6 teams will have their semi pro squad in the Super 6 but also their amateur squad in the current set up.
  14. How can you be a denialist of something there is zero evidence of? From the NYT “no public evidence has emerged showing that [Trump’s] campaign conspired with Russia in the election interference or accepted Russian money.” The idea that Mueller has evidence that Trump is being blackmailed by Russia but is just biding his time and allowing him to carry out his Presidential duties despite the evidence of treason is ridiculous.
  15. https://www.thenation.com/article/russiagate-2018-midterms-interference/ An interesting article that questions why the Democrats aren't campaigning on the allegations that Trump is being blackmailed from Moscow.
  16. 9 out of the 15 players who started against the ABs with Dell, Nel and Wilson being upgrades on Marfo, Z Fagerson and Du Preez. It's a big step up for Ritchie and Hastings and a lot of responsibility on Kinghorn at FB. Ali Price has a chance for redemption after the 6 Nation game.
  17. That will be why precisely zero countries operate open borders.
  18. You were obviously addressing it to me and again when i've replied went back to the false accusations. McDonnell isn't endorsing trickle down economics. They are the opposition to the government and have a strategy for getting into politics. People who want to fight every inch of every battle are idiots. Cybernats seem to think that arguing about politics is politics

  20. Or there is nothing to be gained by getting dragged into a debate about a hypothetical single tax band miles out from an election. Why fight on ground chosen by the Tories - income tax from 40 to 80 grand - and allow the rest of your fiscal policy to be ignored?
