    [Albion] Have YOU visited "London’s answer to Manhattan"?

    I can't wait for the remake of this film. They might need to tart the place up a bit first.

    [News] The future of faith: young people switched off?

    I was in Nativity plays three times and three times I was a shepherd. Dunno why but this has always bothered me. I reckon this is where I got it from. Anyway, did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who lay in bed all night wondering whether there was a dog?

    [News] The future of faith: young people switched off?

    Fair enough and no offence intended. Personally, I'm agnostic but I do agree entirely with two very well-known atheists Douglas Murray and Richard Dawkins who describe themselves as 'culturally Anglican'. I like that description a lot.

    [News] The future of faith: young people switched off?

    Of course it isn't. But you said that you celebrate the Sun but we know that's not true. At Christmas you wish people a Merry Christmas. We all do it, atheists, agnostics, Christians, Jews, Hindus etc etc... you're joining in with a Christian festival that you don't believe in because it's nice...

    [News] The future of faith: young people switched off?

    Sorry but I think you are being hypocritical just a little bit. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from not celebrating Christmas at all. Even by regarding it as secular, you are still promoting and joining in a religious cultural event. This idea that you even need a register to record...

    [Misc] What is the longest you have walked in one go?

    I've tried and failed to do the South Downs Way. I walked from Beachy Head to Falmer before blisters the size of slugs did me in. That's about 25 miles. I've done Brighton to West Worthing a few times after missing the train home. My brother on the other hand....he's an ultra-marathon runner...

    [News] The future of faith: young people switched off?

    We both know that's not true. I'm well aware that Christmas and Easter are pagan dates subsumed into the Christian calendar but I bet you don't refer to solstices when wishing people season's greetings.

    [News] The future of faith: young people switched off?

    If youngsters can't be arsed with religion then fair play. If there's others who find great comfort and purpose through it then fair play to them too. It will always be around in some form or other. Christianity isn't followed in the UK in the same way as it is in the USA so it's incredibly...

    [News] Arrest after shooting in St Leonard's.

    Sigh... . There really is no fallacy. I've already acknowledged that the figures may be right but because they are unreliable according to the ONS, I'd follow the rule on statistical analysis validity and ignore any conclusions. That is not confirmation bias. If you choose to believe otherwise...

    [Politics] Leftie scores massive own goal on twitter !!

    I was being lazy. It stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual Pansexual (or Polyamorous/Polygamous) Kinky. This explains it: http://www.mtv.co.uk/pride/news/lgbtq-acronym-guide but I don't get the distinction between bisexual and pansexual. I'm also lost on why...

    [Politics] It is time to end free speech

    Perhaps I am but quite honestly I'm not too fussed because there are plenty of other people such as Anni Cyrus, Douglas Murray and Maajid Nawaz fighting Islamic extremism who I'd much rather listen to. I watched a fair few interviews with Robinson after I read about the Cambridge incident and I...

    [News] Drink driving - why?

    Studies in Sweden suggest that you're wrong. Sweden used to have the toughest licensing laws in Western Europe and consequently extremely low drink-related deaths on the roads. As the licensing laws have been relaxed the number of drink-related deaths has increased and acutely so in the younger...

    Partly it's the association with EDL. I'm sure there's people in that group who are peace-loving and utterly sincere but from what I've seen for many it's an excuse for a ruck, the same as I view Antifa. It's also riddled with far-right activists. I've a lot more time for the Football Lads...

    [News] Drink driving - why?

    I'm not sure that's a valid reason for having a 2 pint limit. If society thinks drink driving is so unacceptable that it needs a lower limit then country pubs will have to close. We implemented a ban on fox hunting, knowing full well that a lot of people could lose their jobs. Successive...

    [Music] Most underated band ever?

    With you all the way on this. Yep, he had success but never the same level or longevity as Ian McCulloch. The Story of the Blues is a stone-cold classic and sums up in one song how the city of Liverpool managed to get through the Thatcher Years. He was extremely ill last year, life-threateningly...

    [News] Drink driving - why?

    It may be one of the highest but it's still v.low and for a lot of people a 20mg or 35mg level could well equate to the same thing - anything over a pint so it may be a moot point whether it's 20, 25 or 35. Also, that table of deaths attributable to drink suggests that the UK doesn't have a...

    I said 'most' of them! I've not watched any of his videos about Islam so can't comment. I meant that I'd defend his right to express his opinions, the same as you, me and everyone else.
