Good to see that "this is why Trump won" is a transferable concept.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yes, yes she was. People arriving from overseas via legitimate immigration have been net contributors to the UK economy.
Look if you keep calling people idiots they'll prove you right.
100% agree, I am just a voter with an opinion and if I call out Tory sleaze or point out their failings I am painted as "the problem with Labour".
Anyone who fell for Boris Johnsons schtick could be labelled an idiot.
My own anecdotal evidence suggests so. My brother is an idiot and he voted Conservative. Absolutely incensed he was that Labour were offering everyone free broadband. 
Disclaimer : I think the only people who aren't idiots were the ones who left this country after Brexit. Granted most won't have had the luxury of choice.

I don't believe so but maybe I'm wrong and you're the barometer for such things
Make it make sense.

Her question was:
"Where are the immigrants coming from?" 1.25
Does that question define her as a bigot?
she said she felt there was too much immigration... was it legitimate to have a concern about the pace of immigration (keep in mind that in the 10 years prior to that 5.47m people had come to the uk and that was 8.7% of the total uk population)
At the time it was indeed a fairly public debate if the UK had followed the correct policy compared to other EU countries regarding immigration criteria for new countries who joined - she wasnt derogatory, she wasnt name calling she was asking what was highly debated point at the time to a Politian and she was pretty polite about it... certainly nothing that warranted her being called a bigot
My wife is an immigrant who came over to the UK around 15 years ago and I take no offence at the question she asked or how she asked it - I feel the response was ill judged and reflective of the same attitude where people in here say people are idiots for voting conservative ... the same as emily thronberrys tweet was condescending and as long as people persist with that attitude they will see more things like the collapse of the red wall and the brexit vote.
He is incapable of shame.
You have to be worthless to marry this cnut.
Why are you making up the quote? She said:
“You can't say anything about the immigrants because you're saying that you're … but all these eastern European what are coming in, where are they flocking from?”
You don’t think that’s bigoted?
so by your transcript she said
"you cant say anything about the immigrants because your saying that your"... (basically saying that you cant ask questions without people labelling you a bigot / racist)
"but all these eastern europeans are coming in, where are they flocking from?" ... (so shes asking which countries they are coming from again at the time the issue was about immigration in the Uk which was uncontrolled vs the controls implemented in countries like germany - on the face of it i think its fair to say thats a reasonable question)
her question is where are people migrating from but she raises the concern that asking that perfectly reasonable question will see her called a racist / bigot
PM proceeds to call her a bigot on national tv...
Pm gets slated for it - just like thronberry gets slated a few years later for such a condecending attitude - the same attitiude that prevails in loosing the referendum and a helping factor in loosing the red wall and now we have folks calling people idiots and then being mad at them when they dont change their votes.
If you dont think calling the 43.6% of the population who voted conservative idiots is bad politics then I think your mistaken
that said it makes a change from blaming everything on Red Tories and Israel
Baffling why anyone would want to even attempt to defend these fecks in high up spots in the Government. Why would you want to align yourselves with people like that. Bizarre.
Boris is going to ask Boris if he knowingly lied to parliament and if Boris tells Boris that Boris did indeed knowingly lie then Boris will resign. Simple.
Keep swinging, you’ll land one sooner or later just by the law of averages.

Sums it up really. He's got to be dead, although I was counting the days before Christmas and got it wrong.
In other news: Corbyn is starting his own socialist party.
He has nerves of steel, comes across very lackadaisical and polite in that interview.
Right that’s it, the BBC need defunding!
Great have the left divide their vote even more. Not helpful.
Yes. A huge one. She's not dumb she simply genuinely believes that she and her peers are not subject to the same rules as the great unwashed.
Best thing he can do for the Tories
has he finally done it - would be great news if he has but thought it was just rumours at this stage
You're the one trying to land hits. If I had feelings, you could have hurt them.
Nobody told me!
That's surely going to go as THE quote that led to his eventual demise.
Anyone who votes for these people are fecking morons.
Woah, that is the kind of attitude that lead to brexit and an 80 seat majority!
Nah, all makes sense - Nobody told him because he definitely didn't attend any events remember? Well apart from the events he did attend, that he didn't know about, but still attended.... and when he did attend (but he didn't) he didn't think they were against the rules, because he didn't know about the rules, despite telling everyone the rules. Pretty clear isn't it?
Love it
Needs more "I didnt float up the lagan in a bubble" thoughNobody told me? Wow... kids in school do not get away with that response.
Is there any other way that either side addresses the other side today? I've never seen it
Jesus, you'd think they'd at least come up with some bs or other. That's about a bad an excuse as he could say.They are his fecking rules, how on earth can that be his defence.
Only so may times I can explain that Corbyn is not a terrorist sympathiser and Starmer did not refuse to prosecute Jimmy Saville without calling someone an idiot.
