Unless someone had engaged her in a political discussion, why would she have been moaning about Labour and the Budget. Can well imagine the outrage if a Tory patient received an anti-Tory diatribe from a doctor or nurse; they'd be told not to make political comments in their professional role -...

Apologies if previously recommended upthread, but two excellent Welsh crime dramas, usually involving murder or abduction/kidnapping. 1) Set in bleak and remote countryside near Aberystwyth with surly/dodgy locals and their dark family secrets; slow-paced but still gripping and sometimes...

With a new manager and several new players, I always thought this would be a 'transition' season, with 10th place being the most likely outcome. Yet the manner of our late capitulation to the bottom-placed (as were) team is bloody annoying.

Yet if Harris and the Democrats talk about 'the working-class', this would be denounced as Marxist, and as hostility towards the middle-class or big business. Just as over here in the UK, the Labour Party is criticised if it refers explicitly to the working-class ('outdated class politics...
