    So Tory MPs can promote causes, at the expense of all the others, but civil servants can't? I bet they allow union flags.
  • Badunk replied to the thread Post match vs Arsenal.
    Arsenal were poor. Garnacho was our only real threat.
  • Badunk replied to the thread Manchester United vs Arsenal.
    We couldn't be more fecked if we were Debbie and Arsenal was Dallas.
  • Badunk replied to the thread The RedCafe Boxing Thread.
    Archie Sharp floored within seconds of the first round and returning the favour in round 3. Good start to tonight's card on TNT.
  • Yeah, there's no hero arc. No redemption.
  • Meantime (1983) Another Mike Leigh TV movie starring a young Tim Roth, this time supported by Gary Oldman in his debut, Phil Daniels and Pam Ferris. Following the struggles of the working-class Pollock family in Thatcher-era London, Meantime...
  • Made in Britain (1982) Tim Roth plays Trevor, a 16 year old Neo-Nazi skinhead who has just put a brick through his local Pakistani corner shop window and is too young to be sent to jail. He winds up in a kind of residential evaluation centre -...
  • Badunk replied to the thread Transgender Athletes.
    This is it in a nutshell. Some crazed trans-identifying individual, who looks like a man wearing mascara, is posted on twitter screaming that it's their right to use the ladies toilet, and thousands of people pile on. We see it with the far right...

    For the record, I understand the logic of people thinking it's all a bit of a bluff to win votes and then enact social change that benefits the majority. I just don't agree with it. And I hope it's me that's wrong.
  • Badunk replied to the thread Westminster Politics.
    I'll pack up and move somewhere else as well, while I'm at it, since I'm unhappy with the state of the country. Same kind of thing, yeah? Don't like it, jog on? I'd better not have an opinion about our football team either, eh? There are others...

    Listening to James O'Brien discussing Elphicke's deflection and making Starmer seem like a genius playing 5D chess feels like peak centrist dad. His fawning is nauseating, especially when he tweeted that he couldn't vote for Corbyn at the time...
