  1. Does Pep need to win a European Cup in order to get the Liverpool job if Klopp moves on?

  2. The big question is, where should I fuck off to for the "big one"? Mexico? Barbados/Saint Lucia? Jamaica? Uruguay/Argentina? Los Angeles? It will be in the Americas somewhere either way. @Berserker, @Teso dos Bichos Or the new 'me going to Amsterdam'

  4. Holidays in the South of England are underrated to be honest. I loved the holidays down South as a kid to the likes of Devon and Cornwall. I've also had 2 fishing holidays in the South East in the last 2 years and loved them. I always feel like I'm in another country when down there. The South East(minus London) is vastly underrated and has shitloads of natural beauty. The countryside down there is another level to anything I've seen in terms of countryside. The amount of Birds of prey, and wildlife in general, you see down there is unreal. Snakes, Badgers, alsorts. England(in fact Britain, as Scotland has equally as much about it) isn't as bad as we make it out to be. We have a lot to see here, from medieval architecture, to forests, to the lake district, to amazing countryside. The only downside to this country is that our cities, minus maybe Liverpool, are wank.

  6. Every right to question Halal, but you must also question Kosher, which seems to have been unquestioned until now when people tag it on to end of their rant about Halal? Happily ban both of them myself. The Jewish Chronicle article being published is unsurprising, Pollard the editor is a very right wing editor and was one of the most fervent in the attempts to paint Corbyn as an anti-Semitic Svengali, almost comparable to the Nazis. His paper is vehemently anti-Muslim and sees the Israeli-Palestine conflict of one of civilisation versus barbarism. Pre election there were some risible attempts to make this about anti racism but now the Tories are safely installed you'll see the reality of what people like Pollard believe. Pollard isn't representative of the Jewish population though, we mustn't dismiss their very real concerns because of his thinly veiled bigotry. FWIW, though the tone of Phillips' argument is clearly one of hate and dislike of Muslims for a variety of reasons, there is a clumsiness around the word 'Islamaphobia'. Being critical of the religion of Islam is not something which should be discouraged, in fact we don't want it spreading beyond a private belief of some British citizens, same as any other religion. Anti-Muslim bigotry would perhaps describe what people want to defend against.

  7. We are discussing here the impact of their "no longer" being British politics in Scotland, in your words. That is at best 3 general elections old (we've had 3 in 4 years), evidence for beyond that is fairly scant. So I refute the notion that it is some kind of exception to your rule. An animal rights activist when directly asked about halal meat can't say he'd ban it because of his Christian love for animals without being called an Islamophobe. If we follow the premise of your argument, 10-20 years ago animal rights activists would be alright with halal meat?
