Those people are a bit above middle class. Maybe upper upper middle class?

the thing with glasto is if you dont have someone who can get you in on a work ticket or a backstage ticket ur doing it wrong.

plenty of my friends are performing there as well.

one year I got in with the help of Brother Ray.

someone I know was going to get in with this guy, so we rock up to Pilton (this is after the fence went up so impossible to break in) and wait for brother way.

Shirtless bumkin turns up in a dirty battered old 4x4, we get in, pay him a hundred quid and he drives into the site, gives us a passout wrist band and we go in with his little helper mate.

3 of us walk in with his mate or son or whatever he was and once we're in the site we give the wristband back and he goes out to do it again.

I consider an exciting day one where I get to play WH40K as guard and win. I don't know what these words mean. tickets??? backstage!? I'm having a panny!

He should have spent some time on stage explaining why Brexit is actually a good thing.

A theoretical left brexit could be good. Just not for aspirational types who want a yaucht in the next five years. The economy is going to be hit either way. But services could easily improve under a labour government. Doubt anything will stop your tv getting more expensive. It's crunch time. What do we 'leftists' really care about? Equality or raising the upper limit of living quality? The real bad end is both failing.

Pinch of salt and everything, I'm merely a simpleton with no background in economics.

As an Australian it just doesn't seem to make sense for you to bother spending money on Trident. You're an island, a conventional invasion would be loving awful for whoever tried it when you've got the US on your side.

We've let our navy rot. We've just launched our first proper carrier since WW 2 but it has no planes. When it does get planes it'll be the worst version of an already bad plane (The F-35B). We had to use the B because the government wouldn't pay for catapults. We're loving trash.

There were rumours that the second carrier would be immediately mothballed because the MoD decided it couldn't actually afford them but only decided this after the order. I have no idea what the status of the second carrier is now.

This is a little hyperbolic. Our Navy is trash compared to the USAs but so is everybody else's. I reckon our new carrier is pretty competitive against anyone but the Yanks.

The carrier is fine. I'd prefer they'd have spent the cash for a catapult so it could use a proper range of aircraft. As it is it's overly specialised to use the F-35B and nothing else. The real problem is the F-35B. From experience, I know it won't be as bad as all the armchair generals say it will be but it doesn't look like its worth the billions it cost either.

This is absolutely inevitable though; cyber attacks against critical infrastructure can nearly be as devastating as an terrorist attack/artillery strike so why wouldn't it be met with a similar response?

But the hackers are most likely Russian or Chinese. We are not going to attack either. We literally wouldn't dare.

Russia has the world by the balls, diplomatically speaking, since they invaded Ukraine and threatened to do the same to further eastern European countries. Conquest by Fait Accomplii, taking advantage of a confused, divided world.

Corbyn is nothing like Maduro, though, given he isn't a gibbering idiot.

It's used in these very forums by GBS keksters and has been since things started going bad under Chavez. We had a GBS shitlord just recently accusing us all of wanting to gulag everyone and turn the economy into "East germany". Ok so he got one out of two.

I'm a "hard remainer", and I think it's a loving travesty that the only party that thought about the 48% who voted remain was the loving lib dems and we all know you can't trust them and they just did it to try and become relevant again.

Brexit is going to gently caress this country in the arse, and you're all loving lemmings. What happened to "him being electable is not the point, it's about getting the right narrative out there"? Oh well, guess we better all jump off that cliff because it's Corbyn leading us there. And if you think he wouldn't bring us out of the single market/freedom of movement then you're delusional too. This is going to gently caress all my EU friends over at minimum, and I care more about them than the loving principle of democracy that got us into this mess.

And before you start, yes I understand that it's the politic move. Doesn't mean I have to loving like it, and it doesn't mean I don't feel betrayed by there being absolutely no voice for those of us who would really, really, really like not to jump off the Brexit cliff.

We're not lemmings. We've moved on. We've done the despair and the anger.

I'll agree that Corbyn's approach to Brexit are disapointing. But I have to say things changed when he got a result no one saw coming.

It's getting a little annoying that some of you think there's "sides" in here. I'm a hard remainer too. I'm terrified of Brexit. I don't have an easy escape route out of the country and i'm a believer that the economy is going to be destroyed and the primary aim for the Tories is to remove regulations. For more selfish and personal reasons i'm concerned about what's going to happen to the environment.

You guys aren't special. You're just very angry and loud.

I don't actually respect the referendum or its result.

For someone who complains about Corbyn's electability you sure want him to go back to being persona non grata to huge portions of the country. Maybe he can go on stage and call all Brexiters "fuckwits". I'd agree with him. But he shouldn't do it.
