A phonebox on the Bigg Market got smashed and photographed the Saturday night after we failed to win the league. Phone boxes get smashed in the Bigg market every Saturday night, just like in any other major town. When we beat the mackems 4-1 at the Stadium of Light they smashed up their own bus stops on the way from the ground, but it didn't make the papers, although Sunderland barely make the local papers at the best of times Oh noes, someone threw an egg at a politician. Why can't they play nice like the far right on their peaceful "March for England", where they attacked police and, smashed up asian-owned shops and kicked fuck out of anyone who looked slightly dusky? Was it also an affront to democracy when Prescott had that egg thrown at him, or when Fathers 4 Justice threw flour at Tony Blair? Anyroad, you'd think the BNP's mix of far-right social policies and far-left economic policies would make them unappealing to all but a select number of schizophrenics but I very much doubt 99% of the people who voted for them know the first thing about their actual manifesto.

Rubbish, it's not always there. There are people who cry "It's because I'm whiiiiite" "Waaaah, anti white racism!" "Anti man sexism!" "Anti christian bigotry!" when they don't get their own way just like there are sections of any demographic with a victim complex. Main difference is when those groups do it you're not allowed to call it "political correctness."

Except there are people, including the BNP, who see anti-white racism anywhere and everywhere they go, and Christians who are just as determined to see imagined prejudice against them around every corner just as much as any other faith.

Free speech doesn't mean people have to let you in their country if they don't want to, no. It doesn't mean you can start giving a political speech in the midde of a movie. It doesn't mean you can sing Day Light Come and I Wanna go Home in a library. It doesn't mean you must be allowed on the six o'clock news to give your opinion on Exitebots. The government of a country have the freedom speech to say "You're not welcome" and they have the right to say who can and cannot enter their country. If I knock on your door and say "Hi, you're a cunt and your mum's fat. Can I come in?" you're not infringing my right to free speech by telling me to fuck off. There's a huge portion of the world not allowed to enter Britain, is their free speech all being oppressed? EDIT: You see this happening on a smaller scale on messageboards. People start shouting "free speech" as if it means they have a god given right to join a message board, post porn and warez, flame users, make off-topic posts about how Jews control the world in the wi-fi section and the people who run the board don't have the right to exclude them from their community.

The people on the list of folk not permtited to enter the UK because they are considered to be inciting hatred and violence are not being "censored" nor are they having their freedom of speech taken away. They are free to say whatever they like, and indeed they do. You can see them ranting, raving and being variously neo-nazis, islamophobes, islamic fundimentalist women haters and what have you all over the internet and indeed in British publicans, even more so since that list was published. Every country has the right to decide who it will and will not let past it's borders, and these folks sense of entitlement doesn't change that at all. Micheal Savage was threatening to sue Jacqui Smith over the list, although how he would do that without being in the country was a mystery he didn't resolve. People starving in Africa should just deny the holocaust, then we'd have to invite them all over for a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a nice sit down to discuss why they feel that way.

Stormfront is possibly the original internet hate site and it's been around forever, They're probably more experienced in dealing with board invasions than anyone else on the internet. The founder and admin of the Stormfront board is on that "Top ten list of people banned from Britain" that the government released recently.

Congratulations to non-voters in the North West who showed their displeasure at the expenses system by staying home or spoiling their ballot papers, letting the BNP get in even though they got less votes than they did last time. Here's your MEP you thick cunts, nice protest.

Lots of hate in this thread from people who haven't even played the game and are rather childishly basing their opinions not on actual gameplay but on the fact they wanted to play in big brum-brum trucks.

They're our European trip next year. Be interested to see what our attendances are in the Championship, might help put a few myths to bed. People claim our "loyalty" is rubbish because of our sub 20,000 attendances post-war in the second division, but you have to put that into context. A number I've seen put about in the media a fair bit when claiming we don't show up when the chips are down is that we had an average gate of 16,879 in the 1990 season, but in context that was quite respectable. We were struggling in divison 2 (finishing 11th) and few teams in the second tier bettered it - only Sheff Wed and West Ham (both promoted) and Boro (who reached the play off). It was higher than seven top flight sides, Derby, Norwich, Southampton, Coventry, Q.P.R., Luton and Wimbledon. Our post war seasons in the second division were during some dark days for attendances in English football. Yes, that season we had our lowest point of under 17,000 but Crystal Palace had the third highest gates in the country (behind Liverpool and Arsenal) with about 19,500.

Don't remember this guy being kicked out of the party. You know those gas chambers that killed the Jews in Nazi Germany? Lies apparently. Of course now he's found an easier target he wants everyone to forget all of this stuff. In fact he calls people who bring up his holocaust denial quotes "facists" for doing so. Funny that last night's party political broadcast was all Nick Griffin talking about all this "the brave brits who fought the krauts" when he's previously dismissed their justification as "Allied propaganda"

Delighted about this to be honest, what a legend Sunday-Monday-Habib Beye is. Been one of our best players all season. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/05/26/habib-beye-set-to-stay-with-newcastle-united-72703-23712324/

Thought that was pretty sad, why the fuck do they care? If we'd just relegated villa dont think we would have bothered with banners or anything, seems like a lot of trouble to mock a "small club" who aren't even local rivals when they could have made banners supporting their own lot instead. Any road, the fans did us proud yesterday, singing non-stop from start to finish. I was sitting 2 rows behind the lads with the black and white coffin.

Reading the Mayoral Election info pack I've just got, our National Front candidate is talking about bringing back the death penalty. What, in North Tyneside?

Yeah - from here http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/1/

Man U squad to play Hull Not good news for us or the mackems.

As a precedent in the whole fielding weakened teams on the last day of the season... http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/OnThisDay/0,,10265~1293775,00.html Worked though, we won the cup 2-0. Any road, I dunno which would be worse from a North East perspective, a first team coasting through the game and trying to avoid injury or a second string going all out to prove themselves.

Another Excite Truck would have been as boring as hell, the style and fun of this game is absolutely fantastic and I hope they make another. In fact, I hope they turn Zelda into a robotic animal for his next game as well. Seriously though, the IGN reviewer was spot on when he said this game was purely video-gamey in terms of not needing a convaluted story or whatever. This game has its roots in the era of 8 and 16 bit games where it didn't need to make sense that there was a plumber jumping on turtles in the mushroom kingdom or bubble blowing dragons. It was a video game without pretentions of being anything more. So ideologically it harks back before what I considered at the time to be the first wave of casual gamers durign the PSX era, when kids who'd previously been into football or whatever and not thought twice about games started being marketed po-faced serious racing games and war games which even peole's dads started playing. I'd much prefer the manual intro for this game to be "There are racing robot animals, deal with it and get as many points as possible" than some pathetic story about how you're a Vin Disel alike out for revenge for his dead father through a racing tournament, pursued by a secret conspiracy or something. That kind of stuff came along when games had to try and be more than just games, they had to pretend to be a film or a novel or something as well. If the Excitebots franchise had started as-is on the NES and SNES no-one would be questioning it. Just like if Super Mario Galaxy was the first in the series people would eb saying "WTF, magical mushroom kingdom, princess peach? Fucking hell nintendo, stop all this childish shit you're doing to try and appeal to casual gamers and hurry up and give us another exitebots." I hate the terms hardcore and casual, but if pressed I'd go as far as to say Excitebots is the most hardcore game released on any platform for quite a while.

Unsurprisingly, considering it's a Sun article with no quotes, all three teams have now come out and said it's bollocks and they've never said anything about suing Man U.

I completely disagree, I love the bot designs. The swallow's my favourite at the moment, trying to get enough S ranks to unlock the pilot costume for it.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article2438309.ece To be fair we've probably been in breach of that rule for most of this season.

Fergie's got every right to play whoever he wants in the last game, he's earned that luxury. If we or any other team go down we've only got ourselves to blame for not picking up the points beforehand, when it's always going to be the case that on the last day your rivals' opponents may have nothing to play for. Of course on the other hand this is the same Fergie who accused Leeds of not trying against Newcastle, when they would play out of their skins against Man U, something I think would have landed most other managers with an FA charge...

The appointment of Sbragia is almost a carbon copy of the mistake we made with Roeder - a nice guy who doesn't really have what it takes to be a manager, who was given the job on a temporary basis and ended up getting it full time because of a tempory upturn in form that was in reality due to the absence of the previous manager rather than the arrival of the new one. Also, Fergie isn't going to do either of us any favours on Sunday - sounds like he's not even playing his second string and word is fourth choice keeper Ben Amos is going to be between the sticks

Here's the BNP supporting our brave boys again Full article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/5336891/BNP-war-hero-Johnson-Beharry-only-got-medal-because-he-is-black.html They've also been distributing leaflets headed "Gurkhas Must Leave" with the face of Kumar Pun, killed fighting for the British in Afghanistan, with his face crossed out. Only party to support British Troops indeed...
