Replying to The Hartlepool Deadlypool

Assumptions are dangerous.

Just like firing on a battleship that's going in the opposite direction to the battle zone and assuming it still posses such a direct threat it would be best to give orders to sink it there and then.

Just like leaving millions of folks at the mercy of trickle down ecconomics and assuming every one will be better off.

Or like pressing the Americans that it would to be wise to press on to fully finish the eviction of Iraqii troops from Kuwait, all the way until Saddam was killed at that time, assuming a UN mandate for governmental change would not be required for this extra-conflict action.

Facts that the free west can throw-up leaders who are GUILTY on at least three counts.

I decided just to look in to see why nobody had asked me if I believe Thatcher was guilty of Crimes Against Humanity.
But I'm pleased to see that Rotten Ali has made the correct assumption.
The Hartlepool Deadlypool is clearly in Good Hands.

OK, bit late but 7 teams had Thatcher. Going to call it that she committed crimes against humanity ( that's 3points and as an ex prime minister she gets another 3 point bonus. Bonus points multiply so thats 9 times one fifth of the basic scores. Dead Cow gets a handy first score of 40 points and 72 bonus points and zooms straight up into 7th.

Windy gets 15 basic points and 27 bonus points.
Maryport gets 20 basic points and 36 bonus points.
Madame Defarge gets 10 basis points and 18 bonus points.
I get 20 basic points and 36 bonus points.
Mr Potatoe's Heads gets 25 basic points and 45bonus points.
The Engineer gets 35 basic points and 63 bonus points.

1st - 153 points - Bert Trautmann
2nd - 151 points - STAB in-the DARK
3rd - 148 points - the Engineer
4th - 141 points - Maryportfuncity
5th - 135 points - Estuarian Float
6th - 120 points - Mr Potatoe's Heads
7th - 112 points - Dead...

^ Well, my team is carking it from the bottom up too, but at a much more relaxed pace.
Still, if I were Fidel Castro, I wouldn't be investing in a jumbo size box of cigars right now...
