If you think a car in front is a drink-driver then you need to call the police there and then. It could save a life.

I think the difficulty is that there appears to be some 'interesting' interpretations of what crosses the line into promoting hatred and violence and much more worryingly, people being banned/arrested before they've even started speaking for fear of them causing offence. The latter is a very...

I'm guessing that it's because any proscribed political groups are de facto terrorist organisations. This list on Wiki looks pretty definitive and includes the PKK and Hizbollah, both are political parties. Also further down is a reference to National Action...

I'm sorry but it really does. There's something called 'statistical conclusion validity' and the threats to this validity are: I've highlighted the relevant bit. As I've said earlier, I'm not saying that the police data or even that increase of 42% is wrong, it may well be spot on but if...

Apparently Gibson has previous for drink-driving. This was a couple of years ago: The Everton midfielder Darron Gibson has pleaded guilty to hitting a cyclist while drink-driving and then fleeing the scene. Gibson, 27, was behind the wheel of his black Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo when it ploughed...

Ban them from pubs?

Definitely a band who in an ideal world should've, could've, would've.... Wasn't stage fright a major factor in them splitting up?

I might be wrong here but if it's the case that we don't enforce it as strictly or as often then we'd get disproportionately higher deaths from drink-drivers compared to other countries, wouldn't we? The figures don't back that up though...

What a fantastic band they were. I always thought The Belle Stars had the talent to go further but they never stood a chance with the way their record company Stiff Records managed their female artists. At the very height of their success they were on a fixed wage of about £50 a week I seem to...

I've no strong opinions on this but I do think there's a case for saying that there some police that are anti-Tommy Robinson. The incident in Cambridge proves this and whilst I get that he's done a lot of things to put himself in that position, everyone should be treated equally and fairly under...

Genuine question - does that comment mean that you think it is not enforced as rigorously as it could be? I would say that it's one of the things that the British police are absolutely determined to enforce and with a zero tolerance approach.

That's the fella. His backing vocals on The Farm's 'All Together Now' are sublime. A bit of Bros trivia for you. Their haircuts from that time were modelled on Kirk Douglas' haircut in the film Spartacus.

Yes. Yes it is. A singer from the 80s who should have been much better known - Pete Wylie.

I'm probably going to get absolutely flamed for this but there were a couple of boy bands that never got the credit that they deserved for musical ability. The first is A-ha. They made some seriously good tunes. They even did well with making a half-decent Bond theme tune. ..and the second is...

I've every sympathy with anyone with mental health issues. I've zero sympathy with anyone using that as an excuse for drink-driving. If he uses that as an excuse then he does a disservice to everyone else with MH problems and damages all the hard work trying to get mental health problems better...

Trouble is that Ant (or Dec) and Darren Gibson are not exactly older generation though. I'd agree with your general argument though.

Begrudgingly, your stadium might be the most ramshackle in the PL but it's still got a lot of things going for it - not least that it's in amongst houses and to my mind there are few things lovelier than walking towards a ground as the floodlights light up the nearby houses on a rainy Tuesday night.

I think this might need further commenting. I loved Asobi Seksu, I thought you did too.

Ant (or Dec) arrested for drink driving after hitting another car and hospitalising a young child in it. Footballer Darren Gibson writing off his Merc at the weekend and all those other selfish c-words who get into their car after a skinful every day of the week. I'm not a big one for grassing...

It's difficult to say who is the most under-rated ever. I don't think I could even define under-rated but if pushed I'd start off with: The Wave Pictures Asobi Seksu JJ (A Swedish dream-pop band that I still adore) Everything But The Girl (they had success and still enjoy it as solo...
