    I'd rather that than 6 right wing scumbags infect the party with their poison.

    Why the f**k do you care. You've bored everyone for long enough with your deranged rants about how shite Labour apparantly are. 

    I get this might be upsetting for you if it takes away the Tories chances of winning the next GE but Jesus christ try and remain consistent.

    #YouYesYet?

    It would be a lot better for them if they didn't result to whataboutery.

    I feel like some people got overly defensive over the points raised. Any rational person would condemn or at least piss themselves laughing at the video I posted but instead the patter and reaction is all how there are also nutter Unionists like bruh of course there are, surely we can be at the point where we can call out the loonies on both sides rather than this pure tribal polarised constitutional stuff. 

     

  3. Just watched episode 5 so gonna avoid the thread til I've watched 6 but this series is so good. I thought season 1 was incredible but season 2 was pretty much the same but just not as good whereas this season really feels like they've upped the levels, they're not missing a beat here. Every episode is memorable.

    Probably getting a wee bit carried away but you could at minimum make a decent buzzfeed article about how the the Boys is like The Wire for superhero stuff. No character is one dimensional they all feel human and feel very realistic compared to most movie stuff. They have managed on some way to humanise Homelander and somewhat explained his behaviour whilst simultaneously showing he is utterly a evil irredeemable narcissistic c**t. They've managed to keep the whole goodies versus baddies stuff whilst making it meta and non cringey and fundamentally very enjoyable and funny to watch.

    Nah. 
    Labour are a Unionist party. Scotland favours remaining in the Union and Labour are doing well without having to change their stance. 
    It's funny to see SNP/Indy supporters trying to attach their ideological identity issues onto something that's doing well and claiming that that's what people care about. 

    Maybe, but Labour need to offer something different on the constitution or will never gain control ... FFA might be a start

    Nah I don't think so.

    Imagine a GE before next years proposed Autumn referendum, that would be a disaster for the SNP. What do they campaign on? They're already content on leaving the UK and say they have the way forward. If they even mention wanting the new WM government to give powers for a referendum that's their whole movement flushed down the pan. 

    Labour won't give a S30 at any point for SNP support. If they need it Nicola will take whatever she can get and sell the soul of Indy, we all know she doesn't actually want a referendum anyway, I'm sure she'd love having some more cushy trips down to London.

    You obviously do not understand how democracy works.  No politician can make a commitment beyond their period of office.  Even a politician in power cannot mandate something beyond the point when they can influence it.  Anyone who believes a politician can make commitments beyond their elected period of office is a simpleton.

     

    In addition to this, anyone who believes politicians can make commitments beyond their capabilities *cough cough* like a referendum may also be a simpleton.

    Not sure why you laugh, he has a point. Unless Labour change their stance on the subject, they've lost Scotland forever

    Really? So the whole ‘breaker of chains’ act was just a front. She literally spent at least 6 seasons proclaiming to be nothing like her ancestors, notably ‘the Mad King’, who famously burnt the civilians of Kings Landing to death. If she was destined to repeat those actions in the final season I don’t think they did a great job of foreshadowing it.
     

    She spent years assembling an army to take across the water to Westeros, liberating towns and cities across Essos as she went. If she was ultimately just going to become a murdering tyrant, what was the need in making such a show of freeing these civilians from centuries of slavery. 

    Bruh she literally burnt countless people alive and crucified people. She was cray cray the whole time. 

  8. Tash is deluded and gets away with it because of the pity element. 

    Something that always amuses me is the Twitter polarisation between girls and guys. I thought it was obvious to everyone Ekin Sue is attention seeking and trouble making (brilliant tv) but a lot of woman on Twitter are acting like she's being bullied by the whole cast and has done nothing that would lead to people not trusting her.

    There was a lockup full of garages near where I lived when I was younger. It was a great place to play football.

    No need for VAR, because garage doors make a f**k of a racket when you skelp them with a ball.

    I used to play on my street with either our own garage door, when my dad wasn't about, or a big electrical unit thing up the road. We lived 2 mins from a football pitch that had a "no ball games sign" the owner would gate up the fence near by so it was quite a climb and if you did make it in he'd come out and go crazy and shout at you...

    Aye, the UK isn't quite as polarised as the US - you're never going to get even a centrist-ish candidate from the other party in even as a 'protest vote' - but again, you guys are a couple of years behind us, so here's hoping it doesn't become bad as that in Blighty. 

    I would imagine the SNP would campaign on centre-to-left issues like schools, hospitals, families etc, and it'd mesh quite well with Labour. I think they'd have one eye on being kingmakers and I think you'd see SNP bods quite frequently quoting the likes of Burnham and Rayner (less so Nandy after her 'treat them like Catalans' escapade) in interviews. I think Nicola would say she'd be quite open to working with Starmer and disclaimer it with 'should that need ever arise'. There's no particular animosity between her and Sarwar, they go back a long way. I'm not close enough to it any more to know if they *wouldn't* campaign on a referendum - I think it would certainly be brought up from time to time to make sure they weren't getting *too* close, although I think that would be left more to Angus Robertson than Nicola, which seems to be how its going at the moment. 

    An interesting post. I'd be surprised to see SNP cozy up to Labour but it would be a smart way to play it given the hypothetical situation. 

    Should certainly be an interesting year or so in British politics. Do you think the next US one will be Trump vs Harris or more likely DeSantis vs someone?

    Hmmm, I don't enjoy the inference here, but the folk I saw actually had more issue in the end with how her character wasn't well developed and was the waste of a good actress. I'm not a nerdy SW fan at all. I saw ROTJ and the prequels, but haven't seen the first one (and nothing marks me out as a muggle than referring to "a new hope" as "the first one").

    Given the love that old school nerdy Star Wars fans have for Ashoka, your implication of racism would appear wide of the mark. John Boyega as Finn was a character that the fandom, as far as I could see, thought should have been the central character and had the more interesting arc, but was wasted too.

    There's a vogue nowadays for big studios to deflect attention away from shite writing by calling attention to "toxic fans" with their online abuse. It's generally gaslighting pish. I know it happens, of course. It's awful, but we know that twitter is an absolute cesspit and facilitates some of the worst of behaviour. 

    I appreciate the alternative opinion on her prominence.

    You're perhaps reading an inference when there's not. I said clearly I'm not directing that at yourself. 

    Generally speaking the Star Wars fans have proven time and time again to be a hotbed of angry racist people. Of course the majority of fans won't be but there is a major issue there. Perhaps you're not plugged into the social media stuff as much or perhaps you disregard it but the poor Asian actress from the last film series got bullied off Twitter, countless death threats etc.. far more abuse than I've seen aimed at shit white characters and I'm genuinely amazed anyone's thoughts on the reaction to Boyega could be seen as a positive one. 

    It was quite a big story and the way he himself has spoken about the fans and reactions he got tells a tale you've clearly missed. He personally feels like they changed his character and sidelined him purely due to the negative backlash from the racists.
