First Marvel 'proper' one. Not a shocker. And not an origin!

I don't expect the Sun will be particularly critical of her any time soon. Presumably you won't have to give your details to look at page 3, unlike looking at tits online going forward. Is there anything less than despicable about this government? I can't think of anything.

If that happens, and I'd be astounded if it did, any bets on how long it takes for 'the traitors list' to leak? And given who we've got in No.10, how long until anyone on that list is given as short a shrift in the rhetoric as immigrants?

He's hired a fast food mogul as his labour minister. Shockingly, he's opposed to more or less anything that improves the life of the kind of people he employs. Trumps going to make everything better! Where's that banging the table laughing emoticon?

That's kinda my point. Had they run with her front and centre saying 'get rid of the migrants, send em back', instead of it being something that came out in a barely watched video days before the election, and had they, having done that, not been absolutely castigated (correctly) by everyone for doing it, she'd have got more votes IMO. Almost certainly not enough to win but I bet it would be higher than 13.5%.

Had they been able to justify more openly talking about her 'send 'em all back' thoughts, and not been pressured to ditch her by wider society, I'd wager she'd have for more than 13.5%.

Slightly different US and international trailers. Looks decent enough, be interesting to see them do another smaller stakes villain, with Keaton's Vulture apparently just being a thug low end criminal who manages to get a flying suit. Which isn't really that useful apart from being able to evade Spiderman more easily by going higher than he can swing...

Assertion.

Of course the banks could be/are (delete as appropriate for cynicism/'Remainer' status) just bluffing to feather their own nest with the government and get a nice Nissan deal of their own.

The French couldn't possibly learn banking as well as London does.

Trailer for a trailer, sigh... But still... Web wings! Appropriately retro.

The idea that 'Remainers' are trying to secure a bad deal to get another referendum is Breitbart worthy bollocks, sorry.

Idiots.

I watched the Giant Bomb QL earlier with a wry grin because of the AI stuff. Alex obviously really likes the game, because the opening moments of the video are him quickly shuffling through some problems with the performance before swiftly ignoring them, but then Vinny carefully raises a query about the AI, where it's obvious he thinks it's a problem, and Alex repeatedly makes the 'it's like dealing with a real animal' defence in a doth protest too much kinda way... It is rubbish though. Things that don't do what you want them to are irritating. When I sit down to play a game I want to reduce irritants... This is either shit AI or annoying, neither is good.

I'd love to know how much Hopkins is getting for being in that shit. I know he has more less given up in recent years but still... I actually think less of him for taking the part.

Shadow of the Colossus is an absolute masterpiece. This... Just looks bad in all honesty. The gameplay looks tedious and the hit and miss nature of the creatures AI looks absolutely maddening. And the performance? Atrocious!

The very good music is the only thing saving it from being truly paralysingly awful.

I look forward to the massed throngs of people looking forward to an English summer stood in a field miles from anywhere chucking apples on a conveyor. If they're lucky. Otherwise nothing changes. There aren't masses of dirty Eastern Europeans coming over here to do **** all. They're here to work. Presumably because we need them, unskilled or skilled. That doesn't change with more control over the border. Unless overnight every British person decides they'd love to be a plumber or cleaner or labourer. This whole thing is an enormous mirage.

I've not watched that video but I'm entirely confident it's horseshit.

I honestly could see this image with Theresa May front and centre. I suspect she sees it with regularity in her mind...

I suppose the argument is that I'd we didn't have free movement the Poles aren't there to do the work. But then are British people going to line up to do the work? Or will the wages rise to incentivise the work, but which makes your apples more expensive ultimately. Which means either people buy less, or buy elsewhere. Which means the jobs go in the end.

9 is the best. Some say it isn't, but they are wrong. This is absolutely nothing like Final Fantasy was when it was good as far as I can tell.

It's Banjo Threeie in everything bar name and main character design. This is a Good Thing.

I'd quite like to see someone 'sell' being, say, a fruit pricker to someone in the UK these days. I'm sure the residents if the local area will be lining up to do poorly paid (more or less by necessity) backbreaking seasonal work. Especially if they have any form of commitment in their personal life. And even if they don't, presumably at some point they will, or will have some ambition, and fruit picking isn't going to do you that much good in a job market where experience trumps all. Repeat ad nauseum for various sectors. These jobs are there. British people aren't queuing up to do them, through combination of it literally not being viable, to an aspirational culture that rejects 'unglamorous' work (shorthand for anything from well salaried to interesting etc). The easy answer is attack the Other. Unfortunately the question is difficult.

I'm not sure how many Pakistani people are going to be deterred by Blackburn no longer being in the EU.
