Flaming Lips supporting Mercury Rev at Sheffield Octagon was a pretty good night. And another vote for James supporting The Smiths at the Palace Theatre, it was the first time I’d seen a support band brought back on for an encore. If I remember correctly, they had to play Hymn From A Village...

Like you I’ve retained my membership and continued to campaign for Labour but days like today really test my resolve to remain. I will take issue with your comment about Corbyn ordering funding away from candidates who were anti-Corbyn. It’s simply not true. The reverse happened, and Labour...

I think you’ve unwittingly stumbled on the crux of the issue with your “basically he wanted to be leader of a group of people who did not want him to be leader.” The issue is that he had a democratic mandate from hundreds of thousands of Labour Party members for the approach he took. Labour HQ...

I was taught by John as well and also have good memories of him. He was always happy to chat about football with us and seemed genuinely interested in us. A really good bloke.

I couldn’t disagree more. This is an ugly, crude lyric. I think to compare it to Suffer Little Children is just wishful thinking on your part. Suffer Little Children is everything this new song is not. It had a genuine sense of empathy and was entirely lacking in the sensationalist language...

The Clash - Stay Free We met when we were in school Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools The teacher says we're dumb We're only having fun You know, we piss on everyone In the classroom When we got thrown out, I left without much fuss An' weekends we'd go dancing Down streatham on...

I think S2 is actually worth a watch and, if it was a stand-alone series, would probably be better thought of. It’s writing and plot was a bit muddled but there were still some decent performances, particularly from Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly. Although the casting of Vince Vaughan was a...

Shakermaker was originally based on Flying by The Beatles (instrumental track on Magical Mystery Tour). You can actually sing Shakermaker over the top of Flying and it fits perfectly.

That’s the second time in the thread you’ve said that Labour voted against protecting emergency service workers. Can you explain when this was? As far as I know, the current legislation for this - the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018 - was actually introduced originally as a...

You said about his act, it “wouldn’t be tolerated these days”. We both know why it wouldn’t be tolerated these days: because it was racist. You seem to think that the fact he didn’t get paid for performing racist jokes to a group of like-minded (ie racist) people is some badge of honour, when...

Translation: He came to tell racist jokes to a room full of squaddies in Germany in the 80s. We thought it was brilliant and funny because we are as racist as he is. It’s a shame Paki jokes aren’t tolerated these days.

There’s something else that’s fairly obvious as well. I’d actually have more respect for you if you were honest and just said “I don’t want to see so many black people on my TV”.

What an utterly pitiful response. I’m sure it was some dismal attempt to prove that you are The Biggest Blue On The Forum, but you’ve merely come across as pathetic.

Fair enough, I’m sure the union will assist you given your previous membership and what appears to be a genuine error in keeping your subs up to date.

Genuine question - why on earth do you think the union should help you? My understanding of the airport is that it is fairly well unionised. You are not currently a member of the union, despite the fact that many of your colleagues will be, you don’t currently make any contribution to the cost...

I know you practically live up Morrissey’s arse, even now when he largely confines his latest dribblings to promoting fascists and his rampant Islamaphobia, but no - Steven Patrick Morrissey is not on the ball. It is not Trafford Council’s idea to open a zoo. It is the idea of a single...

'The murderer of 106 sheltering refugees at Qana' should be this man's only epitaph.

I have to wonder about the thought processes at play where a discussion about burkas ends up with you holding a meat cleaver at a woman's throat. I think it's you we should be worried about, not women in burkas.

So you've just smeared the Palestinian people - all of them, presumably - as terrorists. Have you any idea how ridiculous you sound these days? You used to at least pretend to want a lasting, peaceful solution. But that mask slipped long ago and you're now just full of hatred for the...

And if there is one thing the Israeli authorities are expert on, it's handing out a kicking when the odds in terms of numbers and firepower are firmly stacked in their favour. Well done to the Celtic fans for showing solidarity with the Palestinians who daily suffer oppression at the hands of...
