Sgt Pepper

Thank you for “clarifying” Words.

You say “Terry’s reaction to panda’s comment”..
Not the issue I’m dealing with here.
I want clarification on panda’s reaction to Terry.
You see? Yet again there’s an inherent bias here.
Then you muddy the waters…[Read more]

So quickly quoting immigration as the fundamental source of our problems in the middle of an international financial crisis, and dismissing any other perspective seems at best simplistic, at worst deceptive and somewhere on that scale possibly racist – and any of those could prompt rolling eyes, not just racist

I’m sorry if panda or anyone has had it tough as you say scept.
I know nothing of them if it is indeed true, so I won’t insult the lady by pandering to her mistakes just because she has.

Look.. Ok.. I’ve quoted Bill Clinton’s oft trumpeted “It’s the economy, stupid” on other threads here, and yes sceptical, with regard to this particular stream…[Read more]

Must admit that when I first saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of this Leonard Cohen classic.
A bit scary in many ways.. but difficult to argue with at times.

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it’s lonely here,
there’s no one left to torture
Give me absolute control

Well, Words, I certainly didn’t consider panda’s remarks racist.
Judgemental, dismissive and perhaps a little ignorant? Absolutely.
Most especially in her reference to typicality.
Quite a generality…[Read more]

As for the Myers article, I thinks it’s more to do with that most awful of oxymorons “Liberal Dogma” than immigration in…[Read more]

Surely immigration (and indeed emigration) are crucial factors in most (if not all) things socio-political panda?

I see no wrong whatsoever in Terry being able to say what he said.. I may agree or disagree politically of course (though it’s hard to argue with such cold, hard figures).

But, a statement like this…

Sgt pepper, it’s not immigration which is the problem..

I never said immigration was a problem sceptical.
I said it’s an issue.
That’s irrefutable.
To deny that is nonsense.

MY problem was Terry’s perfectly reasonable post…[Read more]

Looks like this is turning into a debate on the EU :roll:
I guess the thread itself opens up many questions though.. with politics in general and Europe in particular playing a significant part in fairness.

I’m a huge fan of Hitchcock.
Indeed rightly called “The Master Of Suspense”, and whilst I still believe that Kubrick is the greatest filmmaker of all time in that not only did he perfect the art form but literally transformed it, one cannot deny the impact and sheer entertainment value of many Hitchcock films.
In many ways it’s unfair to compare…[Read more]

Following on from sceptical guy’s admiration for DR STRANGELOVE, I’d like to throw in another piece by the master craftsman.. The mighty Stanley Kubrick.

My suggestion would be to arrange a friendly against Scotland. There’s nothing like getting a win under your belt.

Personally, I think Hodgson is as fine a choice as any.
Hugely experienced on many levels.
Well worth a bash.
