    Trump

    So, as I thought, that's nothing then? You are just repeating rumours and insinuation from people with an agenda. Well done you.

    Trump

    On the other hand a Biden win may force Johnson into a rapid compromise deal with the EU, as he'll be under immense pressure from within his party to avoid a no-deal once it is clear he won't be getting a fast-tracked deal with the US. Which would be a good outcome I think.

    Trump

    If you want a sense of who Trump really is, this documentary from (I think) 2011 is a fantastic, and shocking, watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v0Y9Qcfd2M I watched it before knowing who Donald Trump was and I cannot recommend it highly enough as an insight into the man and how he...

    Trump

    I am willing to bet you actually don't know anything about the 'contents of the laptop'. You've just been reading the internet again. Please point me to one, reliable, unbiased, source of actual FACTS about this story which tells us what is on the laptop. Not rumours and conjecture. Because I...

    I only watched the first half I think we are amazing.

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    I fear that I've brought an argument about the finer points of historical tax dodging to a racially charged gunfight. On that basis I'm out!

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    Taking the individual out of it 'Entirely legal' is rarely the case. Its just what gets said a lot. These types of schemes are operating in a deliberately created grey area and can only be declared 'entirely legal' if and when they have been tested in court. Not sure if this one has. The tax...

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    See above, I fear I have dug myself in based on one specific aspect, and the desire to win an argument when in reality I agree that there are plenty of positive things to be said about Hamilton and many many others more deserving of distain. I'll never fully buy the 'only in Monaco for the...

    [Football] Marcus Rashford

    So...you are saying that hungry kids should 'f*ck off' based on the behaviour of their parents Nice. I think we have the measure of you.

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    He lives in Monaco, at least in part for tax reasons, and he was caught using a scheme that allowed him to pay less tax on a private jet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41886607 'To try and get round EU and UK rules banning VAT refunds on aircraft used by private individuals, Hamilton's advisers...

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    The tax dodger bit really isn't easily refutable. He's not alone though (see also - Messi). Other than that I am pretty neutral. I understand he is good guy in how he behaves generally both inside and outside the sport. And I admire his willingness to speak out on BLM. F1 interests me not at...

    [Football] Marcus Rashford

    Another U turn almost inevitable now as Tory MPs protest the decisions that they errr...literally just voted for. Rashford 2 Boris 0 Oh...now Hancock is saying that Boris has been 'in communication' wth Rashford and Rashford has replied to say not since June and it turns out people believe...

    Yes I am sure they all live there for the tax benefits. It's no conicidence they live there and not somewhere which would give all the same advantages minus the opprtunity to reduce taxes. Attitudes to rich people avoiding tax have changed considerably since Stewart or Mansell. For the better I...

    Monaco actually for Hamilton I believe. But yes, hard to admire someone as a British Sportsman when they are living elsewhere for tax purposes.

    [Film] Borat Sequel

    Didn't enjoy it much. A couple of scenes which are both quite tellling and have to be admired for the balls involved from the actors but that's all. But I didn't enjoy the first one either, so I can't really complain, I knew what I was getting and it'[s clearly just not my thing. All far too...

    [Politics] Tonight’s Debate

    What I meant is that most people have already made up their mind (or already voted) and, unless something fairly cataclysmic happens, debates, mud slinging etc are unlikely to make much difference from here on. But what we don't know yet is HOW people have made up their minds, especially in the...

    [Politics] Tonight’s Debate

    Aaaannndd back to the debate Did anyone watch all the way through? From what I can tell from reviews and clips, it was an entirely predictable, and relatively dull, draw. Trump got the memo on not coming across as an arse (+ the mute button helped him in that regard) while, no matter how much...
