We'll be all right. Bit fatter than our fellow Europeans perhaps, and all things being equal less healthy. But the animals? Ah yes, that's where the horrible deaths come in.
I am afraid I have never forgiven Conn for a catastrophically warped and Ill-informed piece attacking the Albion at the time of the club's fight for its life. A hugely overrated writer.
I see today that Cummings has now told Raab to simper up to team Biden, it having finally dawned on No 10 that its soul brother won't win. You've left it a little late chaps. Joe referenced demagogues and xenophobes after the Brexit result and your shambolic and coarse behaviour since then won't...
Who is arguing that EU animal welfare standards are good, or even as good as ours? Or even that ours are acceptable? I'm not, but you seem to be using those facts of life as mitigation for us cracking a face-saving trade deal with a country with even more deplorable levels of protection, a...
I don't know much about John Lennon except that he wrote the most overrated, maudlin and derivative anthem (alternatively piece of old tat) since Leader of the Pack. Actually, correction, Leader of the Pack had nice motorbike noises.
With a bit of reluctance I agree that this sounds the most likely outcome. A diluted wishwash of a deal which will make us only a little bit poorer year on year while removing the life chances of other people's children who had apparently dreamt of being citizens of a wonderful continent rather...
Interesting that Dominic Cummings, elected by no one, a member of no party, proven liar, has, according to The Times today, "instructed ministers to make no concessions" when the government's agriculture bill returns to the Commons on Monday. The matter at stake is whether the UK should accept...
I'd argue that many of the aspirations had nothing to do with Brexit but I take your point. People voted Leave for a thousand reasons, ranging from an affinity with Burkean principles of parliamentary sovereignty to blind bigotry. Anyone who can't understand why the voters of Boston and...
I loved Steve Sidwell's comment in The Times before the opening Chelsea game. He explained that his specific remit as an under-16s coach was off the ball training. A colleague dealt with on the ball matters. "We really do go into that much detail here," he said, adding that the sky was the...
Sorry if this has been mentioned but a woman on the radio this morning was talking about driving her car in a congested city street and finding herself stopping alongside a bus. If a passenger on her side of the bus was shown to have CV then her presence would be flagged up and she would have to...
There's a bit of 'one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist' going on here. I'm a bit of a news addict and feel that the BBC's senior reporters are, across the board, better than anyone else's. Having said that, I watch less news on BBC than I used to - for example, while I will...
