Is Labour finished?

They've made sure that the money definitely isn't there now...

Anyhow, why bother with expensive books when you can feed kids whatever biased rubbish you like over the internet for a fraction of the cost?

To his credit he does work 5 days a week for a Landscape Gardener. He dodged the bullet by not taking up his University offer for a year, so he will be starting in September with a few quid behind him.

I still don't get the Minecraft thing though. He spent a day over the weekend transferring his 'world' to his laptop in anticipation of continuing once a full time student. IMO not being able to go to pubs for a year has had a lot to do with it, because he should have been out chasing totty instead.

I hadn't heard of MGTOW until now. Apparently it was started by liberals afraid of being alone in lifts with women, but if you believe what is written, it is now an internet-based organisation of women-haters, sexual predators and rapists. That is, unless one transcends to 'Level 4', or 'full monk' level.

All very silly

I thought MGTOW was very old news!

Apparently some corners of it can be kinda toxic, like there are guys who think they just 'deserve' a woman, or they feel like women have become too arrogant or societally warped to know a good man when they see one.

Like with most things, there might be some truth in it when you hand-pick examples, but it's not right to make such sweeping generalisations. If not a single woman around you is interested, it's probably time for a bit of introspection.

Secondary to a wedding ring, there seems to be nothing as attractive to a woman on a night out as a bloke showing absolutely no interest in her.

I've never had so much female attention if I go out on a lads night out since I got married and took myself out of the game.


A mate of mine was pulled up by someone at his work (university accounts department, so more than its fair share of loony lefties) for referring to the female members of our bike club* as "The girls". Apparently that was a mysogenist microaggression attempting to belittle adult women by using a juvenile noun.

Apparently the girls referring to us as "the boys" or "the lads" is equally unacceptable. I've suggested he starts referring to them as "The quines" which is a Scots word to referr to a group of females, usually younger and/or unmarried. Just to see what she makes of it. The derivation is the same as for the word "quim" but "quine" is not considered derogatory in any way in the scots language.

*A bike club which incidentally has females as full, equal members and has had transgender members in the past.
