Oh it’s definitely provable is it?

Go on then, prove it.

Friday and Saturday nights on GG is free money (as long as you’re sober yourself). Get some proper tilts going on. I play cash games and multi table them as a rule.

I remember you having an issue with this when he said it. Do you think he’s forcing people to play online or something? It’s a really bizarre thing to have a problem with. And I very much doubt you’re a pro poker player if you think like that. Definitely more of a fish.

So what? Do you think Robbing should be asking the players on his table if they have a gambling problem?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
No I just think he should admit he's a Tory.

Just out of interest how specifically did I humiliate you to have you this worked up? I’m interested.

BREAKING: Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced that armed police will have their identities protected in future trials to prevent more officers from being forced into hiding, like Martyn Blake, who now has a bounty on his head

In no way,i just find your capability to delude yourself that you're not a capitalist scmbag fascinating and funny

Oh yeah, you look really stable

You liar. Anyway, let’s be honest, only a fvcking loser would create a new anonymous username to hide their other anonymous username. I’ve been on here for well over a decade and I’ve genuinely never come across someone so weak and unstable so I better lay off you and give you a break.

Hope everything is okay at home and all the best.

Ok, but you're still a closet Tory.

I mean, this is what Sunak and most of his Tory chums used to do on a Friday at Saturday night while at college.

It's well documented, but then you weren't around when people were actually making real money off online poker. There's none in it these days,

Way to go at repeating the bloke's name

I think we're one of the few countries who name defendents accused of major crimes before a court case.

Anonymity should be a right, especially for men accused of serious sexual crimes with full details only given after a guilty verdict.

*few countries in Europe.

Why?
——————

Because it’s happening under Labours watch.

Glad you’re coming to the light tho.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately it's two years too late but it's definitely a good thing.

If we want the police to do these incredibly tough jobs then we need to support them rather than the criminals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 years too late?For 20 of those 24 months who was in charge?
Sorry, Pawlie. Yoozadummy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am aware of that.

When Labour do something decent I'm happy to admit it.

Although if their starts anything to go by it won't be something I have to do very often.

Israeli’s mask dropped 🤠

Looks and sounds like Sacha Baron Cohen piece.

It’s interesting seeing people talking about Kamala dropping in the polls when it’s actually betting markets which are being manipulated by foreign operatives (it’s illegal to bet on elections in the US).

Polymarket seems to be the main one and people are dropping millions on it to make it seem like Donald Trump is going to win.

The sad thing is that even if this is true and the photos are devastating the MAGA cult probably are too far gone to back out

You just realised

'Donald Trump’s campaign has accused Britain’s governing party of “blatant foreign interference” in the US presidential election over a trip by its activists to help Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid, igniting a spat with one of Washington’s closest allies in the final stretches of the race.

A lawyer for the former president filed a complaint on Tuesday to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against both the UK’s Labour Party and the Harris campaign, after a Labour staffer wrote a LinkedIn post advertising a trip to the US on which “nearly 100 Labour Party staff” members would campaign for Harris in four key swing states.

But the Trump campaign did not present any new evidence that rules were broken. Labour, and the party’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, quickly denied that the party funded the trips, insisting the campaigners traveled in a personal capacity at their own expense.

Under FEC rules, foreign nationals are allowed to campaign for a US electoral candidate as long as they remain “an uncompensated volunteer.”...

«T»he Trump campaign elevated the dispute in heightened language on Wednesday. Its co-manager, Susie Wiles, said in a statement that “Americans will once again reject the oppression of big government that we rejected in 1776” and described the center-left Labour as a “far-left” party that has “inspired Kamala’s dangerously liberal policies.”'

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/23/politics/trump-labour-election-complaint-starmer-gbr-intl/index.html

Starmer's Labour "far left"

Much wider question, but from an ethics and values perspective (and, increasingly, economic and geopolitical perspectives, I think it could be argued), isn't it time that the UK quietly dissolved the concept of the 'special relationship'?

Where are UK values closer to those of the US than they are those of Europe?

Healthcare and social security - unquestionably not. Universal education? Trade? Arms control? Justice and rehabilitation? Universal freedom of speech? Equality? Environmental protection? Labour rights, pay and the role of unions?

Where exactly is this unique intersection of US and British values?

Here's data from one Pew Research Center survey (2011) which I think says an awful lot:

Q: Which is more important? Freedom to pursue life's goals without state interference?

US - 58%

UK - 38%
Germany - 36%
France - 36%
Spain - 30%

Or, the state guarantees nobody is in need?

US - 35%

UK - 55%
Germany - 62%
France - 64%
Spain - 67%

Whether they acknowledge it or not, whether they like it or not, in terms of moral, social and cultural values, Britons are better identified as Europeans than they are a part of some wider Anglo Saxon family.

What do they mean by "state interference"?
Roads, health care, education, defence, or do they just mean tax and safety/worker legislation?

Hec

I guess it has to be taken in the context of the alternative choice given, namely that the state guarantees that nobody is in need.

It's a purposefully broad question, the response to which I think paints a broad picture:

Generally speaking, at a fundamental level, Yanks are individualists and Europeans (including Brits) are collectivists.

When Anti-English Biden was President he favoured the EU over us, and now Labour have alienated Trump. We better hope he doesn't win.

Shock horror Labour have ties to the Democrats.

Both are poor candidates, its like choosing between cancer and aids.
I was hoping the Dems would get a decent centrist Biden replacement however they went with a liberal idiot.

Hey ho.
