Which makes me like him more but is then offset by the fact that he supports Chelsea. Agree about his radio programme - A two hour little-englander whingeathon. A sea of prejudice masquerading as valid opinion. Utter drivel. And such lazy 'journalism'.

'The spark for Rock Against Racism came when rock musician Eric Clapton made racist statements at a concert in Birmingham in 1976. Clapton urged his audience to ‘get the foreigners out’ and ‘keep Britain white’.' https://www.impressions-gallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/RAR-Info-sheet.pdf...

We are out of the EU. Can't do a deal with Russia. And he's already been to Saudi Arabia. So he's looked around and found the next most unpleasant facist leader available to do a deal with...

Graham Linehan I can continue to admire someone's work, and also think they may be a bit of a pr*ck, without any conflict. I don't really care if someone is grumpy and a bit of an arse in person, especially where they have never claimed to be anything else. In the case of Coogan and Gervais, I...

I do. On another note Devil's Dyke was carnage yesterday As I was leaving there was a long queue waiting for a parking place and some enormous 4WD decided they didn't want to wait. So decided to reverse (incompetently) half a mile down the hill to try and find a place with enough space to...

For avoidance of doubt. No, I am not drawing any equivalence between Ukrainian and Russian actions.

There is probably full intention to make a show of trying. I don't count that as 'serious' If they were thinking, and planning, seriously they would have looked at how well it has worked elsewhere. And then dropped it...

Do you think it's a serious plan? Or what, if not a useful dead cat?

It's bonkers. Won't work, won't happen (certainly not at any kind of numbers to make a difference) and they know it. But it will play well with stupid racists and will be a distraction to the rest of us, which are, fairly obviously, the real intentions.

How do you feel about those that followed orders to send missiles into heavily populated areas of Baghdad in March and April 2003? Missiles that killed some 7.000 civilians (as part of a conflict that was also justified on the back of deliberately constructed lies and a conflict that has been...

It took me a long time to find a way to do this properly. You will thank me. Pre wash the rice. Running cold water for a few minutes. Not sure how much this really matters but the idea is to wash out some of the starch and reduce the gooiness. 1 cup of rice. to 1.25 cups water (yes - less...

But they DID vote to keep Pen out And they probably WILL do so again. My point is that if they don't, the centrists will certainly blame the left for not voting rather than Macon for failing to take any account of the interests of those who's votes he relies on.

What lesson are they meant to learn? I am reasonably certain that the left will ensure Le Pen is kept out. I am equally sure that Macron will continue to arrogantly ignore them. If they don't turn out and Le Pen does get in, who's fault do you think it will be and what lessons might be learned?

I know quite a few people on the left in France Last time they held their noses and voted for Macron in large numbers to avoid giving Le Pen victory. As a reward Macron has treated them with utter contempt and they really do detest him. They will find it very hard to vote for him again and if...

Very true.

Legalize in order to better control it. And to improve education. The long term mental health implications of the current widespread use of weapons grade skunk by kids is pretty scary It may be 'natural' but so is being struck by lightening.

Civilized nations don't kill people

Yeah, I realise full well how important 'creative' editing can be in these types of programme. Very well done though, as editing goes, and does make it watchable for those of us with no interest in the technical side. But it's the racing sequences that really stand out - they give a real sense...

Been an interesting experience, the start of this season. I hate everything that surrounds F1. The 'glitz and glamour' (aka the excessive wealth, conspicuous consumption and tax avoidance), the carbon footprint, the sportswashing and the rather obvious race fixing (thus my absence from this...

I'm increasingly losing interest in the non-football threads on the board as the same old names re-cycle the same old crap. But if just a quarter of what is written had just a quarter of the insight and thoughtfulness of this post, I'd be inclined to stick with it.
