Are you familiar with the idea of a Motte & Bailey argument? Might want to look that up Yes. I believe its a fallacy rather than an argument. I'm not arguing religion with anyone. It's for the weak minded, mentally ill and easily led and their conception of what they place their faith in. It's ...

Yeah, but we haven't had the "Corbyn's Labour would have won if was wasn't for those pesky centrists" double-down yet.

He's constantly making promises that he can't deliver on. His argument to that would be that he's now rowing back/breaking promises that were previously made, and that he's doing that before the election and not after . Therefore, whatever promises are left by the time of the election, we can be co...

Correct. It only work if the base rate doesn't begin with a number higher than 3.

Because the link between rents and earnings has now gone beyond breaking point. Many BTL'ers have been caught out be interest rate increases, maintenance costs and loss of tax incentives. It's just no longer viable as an investment. Rent money is no longer covering their costs? Not if you have a mo...

Exactly. Anything that adds to the misery adds to the emotional impact, which is what gets people invested in the game and their clubs. This is something the executives have never understood. They saw these as issues to be solved, and not to be endlessly argued over on forums or over several pints o...

I only skimmed that article, but I don't think it mentions the increasing rates of mortgage defaults by the BTL crowd. Added to those who are selling up is contributing to the housing crisis. As I mentioned previously on another thread, this period of adjustment to normal interest rates was likely t...

Apart from this bit, that's a solid plan.

We are collective.

Cringe.

They sound like the Borg coming to assimilate us into purple haired, keffiyeh wearing, sandal dragging, omnicause protesting, non-binary, vegan automatons.

Not at the Slovakian PM being shot, but at PAM'ys post.

Heh.

Yes!

I blame Israel. I also blame the Western military-industrial complex. It turns out that private contractors maximising profit margins all these years through high-end weaponry have not been able to transition to lower-grade, but higher-output supply chains. Iran, N Korea and Russia have demonstrate...

It's coolred.

I'd still send the lot of them to the guillotine, obviously, but at least we'd have some decent artwork to remember them by.

As far as paintings go, I quite like this one actually.

RIP. One of Scotchlandshire's greatest.

Here it is:

Elton: "We even have a bit of a love life"
Ursula: "Oh, let's not go into that...."

I mean, come on! We need to know how.

To this day i still have nightmares about the Ice Warriors. Anybody else psychologically scarred by Dr Who characters? I'm thinking about setting up a support group and possibly suing the BBC. Not a nightmare as such, but I keep thinking back to an early Tenant-era episode call Love & Monsters ...
