Part of it is age. I’m a bit(ish) younger than Openside and GogLais. I grew up through the years when the BBC were keen on screening Ken Loach-type dramas about nuclear apocalypse. And CND were very vocal. That fell away by the late ‘80s. I was a card carrying, badge wearing CND member in the UK mi...

Interesting Long Read in the Guardian about the memory of nuclear war We’ve seen in other contexts what happens when our experience of a risk attenuates. In rich countries, the waning memory of preventable diseases has fed the anti-vaccination movement. “People have become complacent,” notes epidem...

HIA, no fault of theirs. Only goes to 14 if it's because of a card.

Summing up this game so far, Quins win a rare turnover and Murley drops it cold in acres of space

Aah thanks - so basically Saintscan stock their scrum with non props?

Quins currently thinking defence is optional

Why does it stay 15 on 15?

Very cool, but I wouldn't want to fly up to a hostile ship with no ability to shoot / without cover.

Trans exclusionary radical feminists. Hard line feminists who don’t believe trans women should be treated as women. Approximately 90% of men won't date a trans woman but it's the feminists who are hardline for not treating trans women as women. Quite. I honestly don't care what people call themselv...

Quins fucked up but it’s laughable what MH had to do this week to get a card vs the disastrous yellow Quins had last week. We don’t exactly deserve to go through and Marcus Smith fluffed a try and a kick but Adamson basically let Montpellier cheat their way to that. See my previous post. How that c...

For his first game back in about a year, Evans is putting in some performance. Is he the guy that broke his leg? Playing for England? You might be thinking of Jack Willis who sustained a horrible knee injury (very similar to the one Evans sustained while on Quins duty iirc) for England which also k...

Seriously how good was Marchants try - Marcus Smith is outrageous!!

Quins I think are going to do it

So to be clear, your response to the idea that Labour isn't an alternative because of some bullshit about trans rights is... that the previous Labour lot who've since been marginalised or removed from the party are a bunch of wankers? That's quality good faith argument right there Yes, it still rem...

…Labour? They can’t even decide what a woman is 😂 The Tory game plan, when you've been caught with your pants down, ie your leader and chancellor have broken the law and also the ministerial code by lying to parliament, go straight to the so-called "Culture Wars" He has become a parody a ...

You've lost it son Outline the alternative…Labour? They can’t even decide what a woman is 😂 You either have to tell us 1. The Tories are more competent than labour 2. They’re equally incompetent but I prefer Tory policies that shit all over people 3. You don’t give a shit so long as your tax is low...

Although I’ve never voted Tory and usually either spoil my vote or give it to one of the smaller parties, I’d usually have that thought in my mind. But don’t you think that’s a bit difficult to back up now given Brexit, the constant lying, partygate, offshore, refugees, and on and on and on. It’s j...
