In the news

spot on as per usual

Can you both just get in the sea and leave the news thread to people with a reading level above kindergarten?

Oh do fuck off you pompous twat.

That's racism.

Can we get back to the what constitutes a sport argument?

Darts should be an Olympic sport.

Olympic event, as painting was an olympic event

And rallycross.

Gets my vote.

I thought all foreign names were either posh or "ethnic" as they say in reformpartyTM circles. You need to pick the right kind of foreign obviously.

All the french are posh horseeaters, no?

French names are posh because the Norman conquerors had French names and formed the aristocracy. It's time the current peace with France stopped and we went back to being at war with them like we have been for much of the last thousand years.

There is a link along the lines of French surname- Norman aristocracy-one of the 160,000 families that own 66% of the UK-posh.

I’ve not been really following the news, is it about Anton du Bec kicking a pony in rehearsals?

Trigger: real scenes from Gaza.

What a 500,000 person evacuation looks like. Humbling example of how supraliminality works against us: these people are living actual hell on earth, but there’s so many of them that their suffering becomes abstract. This report brings it back to reality, with just a brief view of a small fraction of what those people are being made to endure.

Aristocrats are the same race as plebs.

Well actually...

You lot was conquered by the Normans innit. Who spoke French. So there's a totally reasonable association of Frenchness with poshness in Britain. Cow in the field, bœuf on the plate.

... Dammit, missed a page

Fuck those fucking fucks.

Does my head in, how the rabid Zionist filth have realised they can pretty much get away with anything. Oz PM used to protest for Palestine as a young feller, now he's just a condom on an American dick, absolutely betraying himself and all decency.

It's more complicated than that. French surnames like Dujardin and Dupont aren't at all aristratic; they're emphatically plebeian in origin. Nobody with a surname like that can trace direct (and "legitimate") male line descent back to a Norman aristo. On the other hand, if the family surname survived a few centuries in Britain without being anglicised (rather than tracing back to a more recent arrival), the original immigrant family probably climbed a bit up the social ladder, before or after they arrived here. Demlin? French immigrants who stayed pleb. De Moleyns? Posh.

Can we get back to the what constitutes a sport argument?

On TMS the other day, Alistair Cook defined a sport (as opposed to a past-time) as "you have to change footwear to play the sport".

Which I thought was pretty good.

But can it be considered a sport if you stop halfway through to eat your dinner?

I dunno, a mate of mine has special fishing shoes.

Darts shoes exist, who knew...
