Michael Vaughan was brought up in Greater Manchester and Sheffield, both of which would have had sizeable immigrant communities when he was growing up. I would have thought he would be use to walking down the street and hearing non-English spoken. When he did the Tweet it was in 2010 he was...

Speaking as someone who has criticised the government previously on face covering and the like, this sounds fairly proportionate to me.

As has been said elsewhere if the government want masks warn again then legally mandate it or don't bother because asking people to do it hasn't worked.

Fair comment, although he is a vocal one who does take up a lot of oxygen in the debate.

Anyone would think some people don't do their research when jumping on a statement that fits into their dystopian world view.

Problem specific to the Covid 'debate' on NSC is it doesn't really reflect the wider population. The fact that most of the population followed the lockdown rules and went on to have vaccines suggest the views of people like me are fairly mainstream while on here you got the impression they were...

When I did my tour of duty as a mod when NSC was hosted on a Babbage Difference Engine, some posters freely dropped the racially insultive 'n' and 'p' bombs like they were going out of fashion with little or no fear of reprisal and the likes of PPF were dabbling in Holocaust denial. That...

At the end of the day it is a privately run football message board that allows conversations on other topics at the pleasure of the person running it. If he wants to limit the scope of them then that is his prerogative. At the risk of being accused of being a 'sheeple' and 'not questioning...

He shouldn't have posted what he did in 2012 but that doesn't excuse what happened at Yorkshire CC afterwards. Not sure that is too difficult to understand.

To take each case: Stanley Johnson: For one thing no one is suggesting he is prosecuted for it. Also as this seems to have been made public by factions in the Conservative Party, don't be blaming it in do-gooder woke types. Michael Vaughan: Again no one is suggesting he is prosecuted for it...

They did say when Vaccines were being developed it might become and annual thing to have a booster so it isn't a great surprise. However there will come a point a combination of mutating into a weaker strain and natural immunity will probably mean in a few years they will get relegated to flu...

I am no expert (apart from occasionally a self appointed one) but my understanding is the longer Covid is out in the wild the weaker it will become. For example the Spanish Flu never actually went anywhere and it's descendants are still around today. Upshot of this is a lot of us will probably...

Just to clarify, if you don't have a vaccine when the opportunity presents itself and you haven't got a medical reason why not (I have sympathy with pregnant women not having it until the give birth) you are an extraordinarily selfish human being. If you think you know better than the entire...

Principality Stadium branded 'world's biggest pub' after incidents Maybe Football has got it right all these years? I certainly don't want to see bars opening during the game.

My understanding was in general terms being quite fit was good for your immune system but pushing your body like a professional athlete can make you susceptible to picking up illness as it stresses your body. Certainly being overweight causes snoring i'm, ahem, told by others so it isn't a...

If I sneeze or cough while wearing a mask people are less likely to come into contact with the droplets, hence masks are a tool in reducing the spread of Covid. However they are less effective when people are closer together so in a round about way you have a point. I can't speak for other...

I am not sure a 1500 would have turned yesterday's game into a masterpiece, but speaking personally 1730 kick offs make me feel like I am dragging myself away from home then arriving home again with half the evening gone and are a bit of an imposition. Other views are available though.

Problem is if a small group of fans are allowed to act like morons it encourages more to follow suit, which changes the stewarding and security for the vast majority who behave themselves.

Try having a 1500 kick off for a change.

The advice was changed once the scientific understanding improved.
