When you think that those earning over £6000/week (£300K+ p.a.) are being 'asked' to take a 50% pay cut in order to stop a big football club going bust, you once again realise how footballers are totally and utterly divorced from the rest of the population.

Not so much as insensitive as a total load of rubbish but hey, who gives a stuff about facts, reason and perspective at a time of national and global challenge?

I cant help feel that the world wide response to this reflects today's society in that we have cannot accept that we cant 'take control' of everything and 'somebody (but 'not me') has to be responsible', rather than this is a virus 'owned' by nature and the best thing we can do is, as you say...

I remember it well as I was involved in the relief work. The river Lavant was deliberately diverted to flood other areas in order to protect Chichester, the problem being that the river goes under the city through roman culverts. A flood diversion scheme now takes excess river water around the...

Could someone pm me a link? Thank you

could u send to me please? thank you!

me too please!

I agree - both fascinating but also a bit horrifying! Its early day though and no doubt what is a bit way out now will become the norm. Having said that, the resistance to GM crops (which could have great benefits in terms of feeding the world) remains strong amongst consumers and the jump from...

The hyberbole of a journalist who wants a headline! Mind you, if I was a farmer I would give up trying to feed the nation the way certain sections of the media and the likes of the vegan soc attack them as if they were the devil’s spawn!

The Villa cup experience really pissed me of. A chance to play fringe first team members and maybe one or two Under 23s, fine. But the team put out was a complete two fingers to the 15000 fans that turned up and I would imagine many will not make the same mistake on Saturday. Shame on BHA

The difference is dramatic (though of course that doesn't make any form of racism acceptable today). Monkey chants, bananas on the pitch, national front leaflets being handed out at the turnstiles, seig heil chanting and so on was just 'normal'. It seems incredible to say that now but it just...

This sums up another issue with Labour under Corbyn - the constant 'everything is either a disaster now or its going to be soon'. No optimism in the country or its people. The Tory Gov is most likely to be exceptionally stable due to its large majority, there is no evidence of any potential...

I think the OP's point is contained in the word 'hypocrisy'. Wealthy celebrities love to preach and take virtuous 'look at me' stances as if they are the only people that care about whatever issue is their bag on a particular day, but their actions outside of their virtue signalling PR too often...

Equally if they achieve the opposite, they will be in power for generations. They don’t deserve it but they have a real chance to turn the country around and come back somewhere near to the centre. Do or die for the tories but labour have already committed suicide

100% this. Macdonald on bbc now in total denial. No hope for labour. Tragic

Corbyn and Momentum should hang their heads in shame. And so should those supporters who have filled this thread with vile vitriol. The Tories should have been unelectable but they will be in control for at least another 5 years because there has been no viable opposition and their whole mantra...

For goodness sake, can some of you on this thread just GROW UP! I don’t care whether you hate/love Johnson or hate/love Corbyn, voted leave or remain, if you can’t engage in debate without resorting to abuse, bullshit, racism and petty point scoring, then please go back to the playground and...

When you get back from dinner, could you explain please. Genuine request. I just cant see how a hung parliament will be any more capable of making a decision than it has been since the last election.

The worst option by far would be a hung parliament. No further forward and no way of moving forward. All three parties offer, to different degrees, some hope of change to the mess of the last three years.
