Yes, but arguably the Bernie Sanders supporting bit could have been seen as relevant to what the bloke had just done. This guy's ethnic origin clearly has no relevance to whether he started the fire, but the Mail has highlighted it to to further add a bit of racist spice to what will probably...

I wonder if the Daily Mail has a possible reason for highlighting in its headline that he is an "Ethiopian taxi driver"? Can't imagine what that reason might be.

Exactly. Bozza can call it political point-scoring if he likes, but it's clear already from much of the informed local comment that's emerging that there has been a long history of cavalier disregard of the safety concerns of the tenants in this and other council-owned blocks, in one of the...

Yes I have (and do). If that's what it means, why not just say that?

"High performing individuals" is just the kind of meaningless management gobbledegook that gets Barber and co a bad reputation. What on earth is a "high performing individual"? A ballet dancer on drugs? Also I'm wondering who all these "visitors" who are not fans attending the stadium on a...

Given his stance on gay sex, I don't really find his failure to attract the bugger vote surprising.

Yes, I agree with that. I don't have a problem with loyalty being rewarded (although as I said in my original post, some of those who racked up the points last season were not travelling around the country, rather they were STHs who could afford to 'tactically' buy away tickets they had no...

Mine is still showing last season's total (season ticket plus cup and away tickets), so I guess none of the adjustments have been made yet for next season. One issue is that it's looking as if, now we're in the premier league the distribution of loyalty points will become over time much more...

Of course. It's terrible, whoever the victim is and whoever has committed the atrocity. I think the only point that some people were making is that there is a certain irony involved when the very people who make it easy for such atrocities to be committed, (i.e. right wing politicians who...

'Reach out to' someone, meaning contact them Giving someone a 'heads up', meaning letting them know. 'Deliver' (or even worse 'deliver on', which doesn't even make sense), in any context other than groceries or parcels. Some people make it even worse and start talking about 'deliverables' (by...

I think 'curate' is fine. It's much less clumsy than 'vicar's assistant' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw Peter Green play at the Komedia in Brighton in 2010. He looked a bit of a wreck physically - very bloated and frail looking - but he could still play, and knocked out many of the classics from the Albatross, Man of the World, Green Manalishi era as well as some of the earlier straight blues...

I couldn't agree more. Stockdale comes from Leeds, grew up supporting Leeds, and that's where the majority of his family live. It's hardly surprising that his son might grow up to support the team to which most of his relatives are affiliated, rather than the team for which his Dad happened to...

Possibly because, being relatively well-informed (at least compared with a large proportion of the electorate), they could see that Brexit was a really bad idea all round Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You've identified the key question. If you believe that the new young voters will keep their views as they age, then maybe, just maybe, we're witnessing a political sea change. If you believe that they will drift to a more conventional centre/right position as they get older, then nothing will...

I agree with this 100%, and think there should be free access to all levels of education including higher education, irrespective of parental income. There is, however, a financing issue. I got 6 years of free higher education, plus a maintenance grant and ended up with no debt, but in the...

A lot of comments on here about how well Corbyn did in the face of a hostile tabloid media. True of course, but one of the many interesting aspects of the apparent demographic shift we're seeing in political orientation is that the youth don't, as far as I can tell, actually read the Mail...
