    [Politics] About time we sent this on a goodwill visit to Jersey

    In times of crisis "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels" (Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 2). Military conflict always handy for the Establishment when it want to divert attention from problems at home. A good excuse for more hysterical flag-shagging and another opportunity to brand critics as...

    [Football] David Beckham, $150 million, Qatar

    No minds more closed than those of Daily Mail readers, who are invariably bullies claiming to be victims!

    [Film] Film As Good As The Book

    Love those two films, and the actors you refer to. The first film actually inspired me to visit Aix-en-Provence for a weekend!

    [Politics] They say that everyone has their price

    Sadly, I think he really is worshipped by many Brexiters as some kind of patriotic hero expressing the xenophobic views they feel they cannot say because of 'political correctness'. These people also still love racist 'comedians' like Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning, judging by their social...

    [Politics] They say that everyone has their price

    I've always considered him to be a complete and utter cult :thumbsup:

    [Politics] They say that everyone has their price

    Amazing and depressing how many low-income working-class voters were (and seemingly still are) convinced that a privileged Thatcherite public-school-educated millionaire commodities-trader in 'the City' is actually a champion of the poor and vulnerable against 'the elite'. The gullibility of...

    [News] A lorry drivers view of driver shortage, fuel shortage and Brexit.

    Also, a 1% pay rise for someone on the minimum wage is rather less, in cash terms, than a 1% pay rise for someone on a salary of, say, £2 million. But, yes, back to the topic.....

    [News] A lorry drivers view of driver shortage, fuel shortage and Brexit.

    I'm not saying that; you're trying to twist what I said for your own purposes. There are two separate issues here. We've been told for years by would-be British workers that EU migrants were 'taking our jobs' - so if that was the case, and those EU migrants have gone home, then those British...

    [News] A lorry drivers view of driver shortage, fuel shortage and Brexit.

    But many - most? - lorry drivers voted for Brexit (as did most of the Sun-reading English working-class generally), and so rather than admit they were mistaken, or lied to by those shameless self-serving, publicity-addicted, charlatans Johnson and Farage, they are trying to blame our current...

    [News] There's no need to panic buy petrol

    So often, people panic-buying cause the shortages. Decades ago, I had a Saturday job at Key Markets in the Guildbourne Centre, Worthing. There had been a news report about a possible strike by bakers in a few weeks' time, whereupon we were besieged by grannies filling up large shopping trollies...

    [News] Well done southern water

    He calls for one industry to be nationalised, yet you immediately twist this to claim he wants to nationalise everything Typical Tory distortion, polarisation and scaremongering!

    [Albion] Would you rather we were not in the PL?

    I certainly want us to be in the PL - why would anyone want us to be back in the Championship playing mid-week games on a cold wet Tuesday night in Hull or Barnsley. We've done enough of that. My only reservation is that we will forever be punching above our weight because we can't compete...
