Equal rights for women would be a good example. Also the right to freedom of religion for all, and the acceptance that their own religion can be insulted without penalty.

The Electoral Commission thinks they are a party. Perhaps if enough people told the Electoral Commission that they were wrong, they might change their minds?

Could mean that. Could equally mean the Labour vote has collapsed (to a lesser degree, obviously!) because people have no great enthusiasm for their policies, such as they are, and think it's a foregone conclusion so their vote won't be missed. Time will tell, and not very much time either...

Farage was twice the leader of the party which won the greatest share of votes in the Euro elections. That's why he got elected, not just some nuance of the voting system.

Nonetheless, even though you don't see the US Constitution, it is still there. If you genuinely think that he is going to rip up the Constitution and close down the Senate and the House of Representatives, then that's your prerogative, but I doubt you would find a serious commentator to think...

Yes, there is a school of thought in modern life that a woman is her own person, and not just an extension of her husband. Even Wimbledon would no longer refer to Chris Evert as "Mrs. J. Lloyd" :D

Yes, it's too far - certainly by that route. To change the constitution requires a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and the House, and the President isn't involved.

I'm sure Trump could and would argue that. The difficulty about that conviction and this ruling is that the offence wasn't paying a prostitute, which is legal, and it wasn't false accounting per se. The offence was that everything he did, including signing those cheques after the election, was...

Sword? You're singing a different version. Bow, arrows, spear, chariot of fire are the weapons.

I second the opinion above about the Embassy Suites hotel. It's 3-0sided building and one of the sides faces both main waterfalls. The breakfast is good too. Funnily enough, for 25% discount I could have had rooms on the side facing the town. Who on earth goes to see Niagara and faces the...

Rule, Britannia! would be OK for modern society because it is explicitly anti-slavery and the exhortation to "rule the waves", when it came true later in the 18th century and into the 19th, was the reason the UK was able to impose the abolition of the slave trade onto the kicking and screaming...

If height is still of interest, I once had a squad list for Nelson FC (3rd Division North champions 1923) as they started their 2nd division season in September 1923. They had one man, a goalkeeper, who was 6'2". The next tallest, in a squad of over 30 players, was 5'9". I doubt many women's...

The difficulty with making older people take retests is that the driving test is not designed to see if people have the required technical ability and experience. It is designed to see if people with no experience at all, have the technical ability. Younger people are more likely to have the...

A troll is someone who posts to wind people up. Not someone who posts genuinely held beliefs for the sake of discussion. If this is an official "Labour party and points left" political discussion board, then you might have a point. But if it's a football board with a strong political element...

Apart from anything else, you have clearly misunderstood the word "IF". "IF" is not a word used to indicate certainty. I realise that a certain contempt would be offered to those who vote, not for what they believe in, but against what they don't like. No doubt many of those people on here...

If I were to vote for Reform it would be as a protest vote, not as support for Farage. The differences between the other parties are only playing round the edges - essentially they're all supporters of tax and spend and tax some more. They bleed the productive sector of the economy dry, and...

The big difference with the NFL is that a common way of tackling a running back who is running with his head down, is to put your head down and ram him full speed helmet-to-helmet. Which must be far more concussive than a deliberate controlled header of the ball. What I don't understand...

I disagree with Farage's views on Putin and Russia.

I dare saw you know the old saw about "assume" making an "ass" of "u" and "me", but I think you're restricting that saw to yourself only this time. All four lines of a four line post contain factual errors, which makes it hard to answer really.

The point is that the ECHR has told the democratically elected Swiss government that they should not be implementing their current government policy. If you hate to tell me that the Empire has gone, then don't tell me. It's irrelevant to a discussion of Churchill's views in the 1940's. If...
