    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    It would screw the US oil producers as well. The US are already producing more oil than they have ever done. More under Biden than under Trump! How is he going to halve prices by producing more? The only other way would be to force them to charge less - which would then mean their profits...

    [Politics] Is democracy in crisis?

    No - I'm agreeing with you that not keeping promises erodes democracy and the democratic process. But changing your mind when you find out the true cost of something is a bit different than telling blatant lies like Johnson / Trump.

    [Politics] Is democracy in crisis?

    That was more like not keeping a promise than outright lying. He apologised later and basically said that he hadn't realised it would be so unaffordable. And of course, he wasn't actually in power.

    [Politics] John Nott - RIP

    Interesting eulogies about him having principles and being resolute in defending the Falklands and so on. My memory was that it was his paper setting out the withdrawal of the Endurance from the area that basically encouraged the Argentinians to invade. I seem to recall at the time that it was...

    [TV] Help understanding streaming / digital TV and old programmes please

    Yes - but have a go at selecting 'duplicate' and 'only on screen 2' - because the latter is generally better (or it is for me anyway)

    [Football] You see them given...

    I watched this game on a stream, and must admit that I never even noticed this at all. Igor definitely took the goal kick as far as I'm concerned. So - yes, should have been a penalty.
