Therefore the lowest paid by your logic are on a salary of £21000 - there must be thousands of them, if your figures are correct, or are you deliberately confusing the average and the mean. Also, is this the basic and not allowing for overtime, to which they voluntarily apply so as to...

It is probably best to know exactly what is involved before such a throw-away line, which demonstrates how little you do know.

Yes, that is true, but sadly Hamas have played on this long enough, knowing that eventually Israel will be stopped due to international pressure, as they always have been when gaining military superiority, as in 1967 and 1973. Were the Israelis to stop now, I imagine it would leave Hamas largely...

Its weird. I always look for Exeter City results, and am not sure why. I think it dates back to decades ago. as a teenager, I was ill throughout the week Albion were due to play there, and I was planning to go, but come the Saturday, just could not make it.

Because the poor dears driving the trains cannot manage on a measly 60 grand a year.

I don't dispute that this is currently the case, but that does not mean that what I wrote was untrue. And certainly does not mean that the silent majority relish uncontrolled immigration. I appreciate that good people like yourself do so much for the immigrants and feel that it is something to...

Yes, the person might have been "unlucky" in that he was caught what others presumably got away with, but he conveniently ignores 2 things: Don't do what most other folk would consider to be a stupid act in a packed area, and be consistent -by his logic, the burglar entering his house and ,say...

But there have been surveys that showed that stopping the boats is the population's main worry. I suppose by implication you will now claim that the arrival of thousands of illegal and unchecked immigrants every year is something that the majority of the British people relish.

Mitoma? I read on an obscure website that he has pulled out of the Japan squad due to . . .injury!! Perhaps he is just wanting a break as it is "only" v Syria??

I think this assessment is called simplistic.

That was the clear implication of your wording -you think it is funny when you see it, so it clearly means that someone else is soaked as a result. Don't now try to wriggle out of it. It has nothing to do with being self-righteous; just a concern for other people, not that that clearly bothers...

I am hoping that this is meant in jest. You don't like it if the beer hits you, but it looks cool if it hits others and that is "harmless fun". If this really is your attitude, then you need to have a period of self reflection.

I know you were not addressing me, but for what it is worth, I don't think they are hate marches, as i am sure that most are well meaning -the good folk in the next road go down to town each Saturday with their Palestine flags and are genuinely appalled at what is going on, though have also...

No, I don't think we have, which is frustrating. Traditionally the club have not been the most forthcoming over informing the public about the extent of an injury/ likely return etc, and I am sure that lately I read that RDZ said that it was not his job to comment on the exact nature of an...

Your answer - so simple isn't it. You ask hamas, possibly via an intermediary, for the return of the hostages, they obligingly agree and let you know who they are, so you can eliminate them. Then you tip toe through Gaza, shooting any terrorist, avoiding those used as shields and any damage to...

Things have not changed in all these years -bullying union barons getting their way through intimidation. Many years ago, when my dad found a job as a postie, after having left the Army, he regularly told us that if "you were well in" with the relevant union, you got the easiest rounds. It was...

Yes, agree with all your points. Though the last 2 home games have been hugely disappointing, in terms of the results, the club is surely on an upwards trajectory and that at last the injury list should start to become shorter, and with Moder and Enciso to be totally up and running by say...

Yes, that is right -"inselaffen"(island apes) is the expression, but to be fair, I only ever heard this rarely and it is so insulting, that the vast majority of Germans would not say this.

We go camping in Holland near the German border, and whilst there is now much intermingling between the 2 nations, when you actually speak to the Dutch in private, as it were, the dislike of the Germans comes out. The wounds from the war when the Dutch suffered greatly during the "hongerwinter"...

Yes, fully agree.
