  1. Hypocrisy at Wimbledon

    http://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/article/outcome-of-stadium-vote-2804507.aspx Dons cash in, selling Kingsmeadow to Chelsea, effectively evicting former owners and current tenants Kingstonian in the process and sending them to an alternative stadium. Nicely done, lads. Only took you 13 years...
  2. Dennis McShane: "Being a Guardian reading liberal leftie made me ignore child abuse"

    Dennis McShane: "Being a Guardian reading liberal leftie made me ignore child abuse" The title of the thread is a quote from the former Rotherham Labour MP Dennis McShane in a BBC interview - what are peoples' views on this?
  3. Gareth Bale chanting

    I'm sorry but again I have to raise the issue of abusive chanting at players and the hypocrisy surrounding it. There was a lot quite rightly made in early January of the Oldham defender being racially abused by a Liverpool "fan" on the Kop, which reduced the defender to tears, and the abuser...

    Andrew Marr, the Dirty Get!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13190424 I agree with Ian Hislop regarding the hypocrisy. Anyone else though, more shocked that someone as ugly as him could have an affair?

    The Sin of Not Endorsing Homosexuality

    From the Biased BBC Blog: Fascinating interview @7.50am on Today concerning the Christian couple denied the right to foster any more children because they dare not endorse homosexuality values for 8 year olds. If you listen to the tone of the interview, there is clear BBC disbelief that ANY...

    Top Gear: Alan Partridge Speaks Out

    Good column here from Steve Coogan. "As a huge fan of Top Gear. I normally regard the presenters' brand of irreverence as a part of the rough and tumble that goes with having a sense of humour. I've been on the show three times and had a go at their celebrity-lap challenge, and I would love to...
  7. The Guardian, Tax Avoidance and Hypocrisy

    Giving that The Guardian is an oft referenced publication on this forum, I thought it would be worth highlighting some hypocrisy in their editorial stance. We know that they are very much against tax avoidance, especially the use of offshore trusts and entities. Surely they would never use...

    The Hypocrisy Of Arsene Wenger

    After their excellent 1-0 win last night v Roma, he stated that all they had to do in Rome was "not concede". After all of Wenger's whining at the weekend, why don't they go over there and play football? (As it happens, despite what he and the media would have you believe, some of Sunderland's...

    Hypocrites - the lot of 'em

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/07/religion.politics http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7882953.stm Where is the consistency ? Only in that both individuals were barred from entering the UK. Otherwise both sides of the argument have changed tact when it comes to wanting the man...

    Redknapp gets away with murder

    Could any other manager so blatantly court the media, tell them his plans and what he demands, unsettle a player, get his agent onside and eventually force the public consensus to be strong that he inevitably gets his man? And STILL come out of it looking all sweet and innocent? I used to...

    For all those mums out there!

    WHAT WE OWE OUR MOTHERS! 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning." 2. My mother taught me RELIGION. "You better pray that will come out of the carpet." 3. My mother taught me about TIME...

    Robert Mugabe

    In short our beloved Prime Minister took this country to war against Iraq, first with the pretence of WMD and once that had been debunked it was to rid the planet of a menace and a man subsequently found guilty of genocide against his own people. Robert Mugabe has systematically taken his...

    Slipperduke's Slippery Column

    <span style='color:navy'>Slipperduke's Slippery Column #9 There's something inherently funny about the Far Right. They've been preaching their flimsy master-race doctrine for years, unaware that when your knuckles graze the pavement as you walk, you're not really in a position to talk about...
  14. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...
