I heard they have no slots available til Mid March

Whatever happened to I am Rod Hull? Guy must be on a list by now surely.

I got called both a leftie and 'Mary Whitehouse' on here within the space of a few days...

There are plenty of more conservative posters here, it's hardly an echo chamber. Probably like 60/40 lefties at a guess. Just that it's easier for left wingers / liberals as they have more specific policy to point to e g. Brexit. And a lot of more right wing posters come across as a bit loony and preoccupied with fighting the liberal elite in their head, like the points above about how football fans are criticized more than the carnival which is is obviously very silly on a number of levels.

Thought about it but don't have the ability or perseverance. Would like to write a non fiction book though, but that requires a lot of research I don't really have time for. Best of luck to anybody trying to do it.

I love the idea that the Notting Hill Carnival of all things never gets criticism.

Leeds took more

These screen shots of ads are confusing the **** out of me

This is some elaborate prank isn't it

Digestives. Dalmatinska panceta my local Balkan shop sells. Waitrose tiramisu.

I remember when people were arguing re Jimmy Carr that making a joke about antivaxers was as bad as making a joke about the holocaust being good. That was a pretty wild few days.

I think what we're seeing in England is like a cruder, uglier version of what has happened north of the border. Britishness has been weakened due to many factors, not least privatisation, and so there's been a reemergence of national identity in the constituent countries. Reminds me of what happened in Yugoslavia with the English as the Serbs obviously, simultaneously promoting their own aggressive form of national identity but also anxious about losing their influence over the other nations.

Think you're thinking of scouse fox

I feel like TPH walks amongst us. Couple of posters where I've thought the, ahem, humour is quite similar

The year of the 'hostile environment' and panic over Eastern Europeans, and a year after mass riots in English cities.

Bloke who moved to the UK when Johnson was PM commits a crime: "One of Starmer's mates"

34.3, which would qualify as the largest structure in Leicestershire.

That would really bolster the squad to be honest, get on it Rudkin

Unpopular opinion by the looks of it but I am a little sorry he's going. Local lad who showed a lot of promise and seems like a good character. Like, really a good character, not a Conor Coady "good guy to have in the dressing room" type. But, 12 million quid....

he's a wizard on the pitch

Yeah she's awful. These people seem to forget they are on TV, splashed all over social media, and their behaviour is now forever preserved on the screen. Quite liked the first one, but I wonder if the producers decided it was too difficult because since then it's basically deteriorated into 'win a stupid game and we'll show you a really obvious clue for where it is'.

This is true. I wonder if it's the disparity in exposure between the big clubs and smaller clubs now that is more depressing than the difference in actual on field success. 5-6 massive global brands in the league now and a bunch of also rans that basically seem to exist as extras in the multi million dollar production that is the English premier league. From time to time one of those will get their own storylines (like us in 2015/16, or arguably Luton a couple of years ago) but they are still expected take their place in the background soon after.

Reflects a shift in culture in general from the regional or national to the global, which we as part of the Anglosphere are much more susceptible to.

If only I could unsubscribe from the dreams of mine that he haunts. I wake up in a cold sweat at 3am, scouse voice recounting a story about Leander Dendoncker getting drunk on a preseason tour ringing in my ears
