I am not even talking about "winning" an argument. You usually don't present one. Your style is to present a conclusion and anyone that disagrees is delusional or call them a name. I am actually willing to be convinced of the strengths/deficiencies of Boris's communication skills (at least from what...

Okay Moscow, that's a shame but thanks for letting us know.

Does anyone else want to sign up?

Slots #3 and #21 are now available.

Do we want to advertise on discord?

Flash, the onus is not on me to prove anything. Why on earth should it be? Jamie can either believe me or not, and I'm not particularly fussed about which path he eventually chooses. If this was a debate between political parties seeking election, or even just a university debating competition, you...

Why couldn't even both be true...that Boris's style was great for Brexit but poor for COVID? I am sure there may be a more nuanced answer here.

Why on earth would I need to? I assumed, perhaps foolishly, that you'd simply accept the commonly recognised fact. It didn't occur to me that you'd be such a deluded fool to make an issue of it, and in what sense is it worth my while to point out your delusions with evidence? I have no doubt whatso...

What argument, Flash? That New Statesman article can be summed up by saying they didn't like a particular campaign speech. That's not an argument, just an opinion. That the campaign in question proved to be the most successful in recent British political history surely provides some evidence to sug...

A quote about the outlook of the New Statesman: Of the left, for the left - Jason Cowley, editor of the New Statesman since 2008 It was founded by Sidney and Beatrice Webb, who were members of the Fabian Society, the oldest and most famous left wing think tank in the country. In the 90s the New Sta...

OK, OK. I can fill in one of the designated lurker spots.

How do young whippersnappers become so cynical?

Who are you calling a young whippersnapper? I wish I could still be called a "young" whippersnapper...

Another obligatory zamboni scene. I didn't know what a zamboni was until I saw this movie:

ITU-T standard P.380 provides testing methods for headsets using the head and torso simulator. The Recommendation addresses the following topics: selection of artificial ears, classification of headsets, positioning of headsets on HATS, test repeatability and contents of the measurement report. http...

I am not understanding. With all his new free time he must have more time for mafia. Why hasn't he signed up for the latest mafia game yet?

Well, with the mini-mafia game done, do we have a timetable on the next full one @Jamie? :-) Hello. I will have the final draft of my setup for Consideration by the Council of Two, by some point in the next 24 hours. I will post a sign-up thread, pending that approval, in a similar time period. The...

Laugh it up, Octavious. Laugh it up. I understand you are laughing. Because you're winning. You and your nationalist, right-wing pals are winning. Hard-won rights are being eroded and racist, homophobic regimes and fronts are gaining power across Europe and the Western world. I am sure you are very...

Anti fá, and terrorism: https://antifainternational.tumblr.com/post/625163392866566144/is-antifa-technically-an-organization-or-does-it/amp Glad to see someone else agree with me on the use of violence in politics. Lovely to see them point out that all politics involves violence. I don't understand...

I wouldn't say it the same way as Jamiet said it That’s it? That's all the criticism of Jamie's appalling comments we get? You're a bloody disgrace, the lot of you. I'll waste no more time here. I am not understanding. I thought you were pro-robust debate? If Jamiet had said "Islam is pro-rape (in ...

One imagines that the Catholic Church, were it represented here, would strongly disagree and protest vigorously against anti religious bias and bigotry. As much as such a debate would have been an enjoyable spectacle back in the old forum, the old forum is long dead and you are well across the line...

If you want some help to co-GM, I will volunteer.

If someone needs a co-GM I could help...as long as no-one expects me to create any flavour messages.
