Spineless sack of poo poo. Saudi Arabia is such a disgusting country that he shouldn't have even thought about that issue for longer than a second before coming out against it.
The British Establishment is absolutely onside for Saudi Arabia no matter what horrific human rights abuses they commit and anti-Western fundamentalist causes they back, because the Saudis hate Iran as much as they do, and there's a ton of sweet, sweet arms deal money that can be wrung from that. Kieth is deeply committed above all else to being part of that Establishment and protecting its interests, as there'll be lots of lucrative speaking opportunities and a seat in the Lords at the end of it!

Part of the Brexit plan I would argue was to allow the dodgy as poo poo money into the UK.
Get in that oil money, get in that Russian oligarch money, and Jacob Rees Mogg would be happy as poo poo.
Get those financial regulations down to where the Tories ride one big financial bubble for as long as they can, and gently caress the consequences as they will be rich.

Drying it only works if you have disconnected it from a power source as soon as possible! Basically what happens is the liquid conducts electricity in ways that break the circuitry and when that happens it's done for good. If it's wet but off it can still be salvaged as the current hasn't had a chance to conduct in damaging ways.

Kieth continues to be impressively poo poo.

On 100m I'd dump most of it in the Ukmt fund after paying off all my families debts, tuition fees etc.

It'd be really interesting to see how that would play out and if it would spill over into SA in general.

Collectively I'd expect some pretty cool stuff to come from it though. Plus you know a few fun things like sending every politician in the country a giant truck of uncanned baked beans on their driveways.

Don't know why you'd expect different. The media's whole reaction to Corbyn was to act with sheer indignity that this man existed, they aren't going to acknowledge left wing politics now that they don't have to beyond rolling their eyes and calling us antisemitic.

Doug Stanhope said it best when some HIGNFY oval office tried to get free tickets to his show to get him on the show.

The question for any upcoming leadership election will be whether the SCG can coalesce around 1 candidate + get the extra 4-6 (depending on Corbyn & Webbe's situation) to get over the 40 MP cutoff

Frankly I can't see it happening as Lewis and Trickett (or another of the more pro-leave SCG members) will both likely want to run and probably can't reconcile their differences. Too bad the left has a discipline issue when it comes to selecting candidates (see the Unison GS election)

Burnham is obviously going to have a go, and I could see him meeting the nomination cut-off.

If he could actually pull off a Biden-style coalition with the Left he might not even be too bad, he really seems to be leaning into the 'hero of the north' thing.

Funny thing is I doubted for a moment that Special K had actually been on the market when he was born and I looked it up and it was launched only a couple of years before he was born. Which sadly makes it more plausible that he was telling the truth tbh, that it was still a ‘new’ thing so yeah maybe his parents did that

The problem being that he's not an MP, and the Blairites will sabotage any attempt he makes to become a candidate if she shows any sign of cosying up to the left.

My Dad's visiting at the mo, and seems mostly to be glad that the club is no longer owned (in both senses of the word) by Mike 'big mugs, bigger dinners' Ashley. Mostly because of his treatment of the club over the last few years (refusing to invest in anything, borderline asset stripping etc). I have no idea about footmans myself but he seems to be very relieved.

Apparently there were very confused scenes of violence outside the stadium yesterday as people celebrating Ashley selling up and loving off ran into the people protesting the Saudis not for any valid reasons other than islamophobia. Can't find anything in the news, but he was seeing stuff on whatsapp.

Is this the Saudi investment fund they keep going on about on Trashfuture by the way, or is the problem mostly the human rights abuses etc?

Yes and yes. Well technically most of the time TF use the Sovereign Fund and the Public Investment Fund interchangeably - and confusingly the former is owned by the Saudi central bank and funded by the government and the latter is owned by the House of Saud directly - but ultimately there's no real difference between the government and the royal family there. It's the latter which has bought Newcastle because the former is only supposed to be used for poo poo like that ridiculous linear city that is supposed to replace oil revenues, while the latter is just used for vanity projects for the royals.

If you want to know everything about modern football by the way, the thing that stopped the PIF from passing the FA's "fit and proper" test wasn't the whole genocide/regressive theocracy/cutting up journalists thing... but that Saudi Arabia was pirating Premier League matches. The moment they agreed to stop that - erm, to take action against the completely independent company that was doing that - the takeover went through.
