    [Football] UEFA CL March 5/6 knockout stages.

    I was waiting for someone to mention that handball is supposed to be a deliberate act, but no one ever did. I would have liked to have known Peter Walton's response to that. I understand that deliberate can be interpreted as an ambivalence to whether the ball hits your arm, such as if you jump...

    [News] MPs defecting to The Independent Group in parliament

    Excessive blinking ≠ lying. Liars might have a tendency to blink more, but it does not mean that someone is lying. There are other associations with excessive blinking too. For example, when under stress or cognitive load (which of course might or might not be related to lying). Can you think...

    [Albion] Has anyone blamed the Players yet?

    Bong is a great defender but isn't really up to standard going forward. He's not able to release the ball quickly to find a man in space and his crossing is generally pretty poor. However, it can't be easy for him when he's playing on the same side as the lazy Locadia who often leaves him...

    [Albion] On the back of yesterday's debacle

    Do CH wasn't 'outsmarted' by Dyche then?

    [Albion] Mr Attwell, The Referee

    What did he say in his BT Sport interview? His BBC Sport interview is very similar to what HKFC says: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47099270

    [Politics] Brexit

    Anyone who belittles the opinions of others based on their appearance or complexion should not expect for their own opinions to be respected.

    [Politics] Brexit

    That's a pretty poor analogy. Part the problem was not everyone felt they had a good life, having been left behind by globalisation and undercutting of wages. If your children don't feel they have a good life then you should try to show them some empathy and try and make things better for them...

    [Politics] Brexit

    You've spent our entire conversation avoiding the question, and now you're responding to the question with a question, again avoiding the question. Unless the EU wants to make some concessions, I don't think there is really much to say that can be of benefit. But I can at least say excluding...

    [Politics] Brexit

    To prevent us leaving? Quite a big incentive. Having said that, I don't think they ever considered it likely that the UK would vote to leave, which is why they didn't give us much.

    I'm sure they will go down well in certain places. Again, it doesn't make them helpful, though.

    Such remarks are not needed to show solidarity and, in my view, make no deal more likely - which is of no benefit to the Irish border situation.

    You still haven't answered the question. What exactly is the benefit to his remarks?

    Absolutely spot on.

    [Politics] Brexit

    I know what he said, but it's pretty obviously going to be taken as an insult by many, not a select few. The media will frame it in such a way too. Search for 'tusk' on Twitter to see the reaction. There's already been an overwhelmingly negative response from various different politicians to...

    Ok, but that doesn't answer my question. He started by saying "I know that still a very great number of people in the UK, and on the continent, as well as in Ireland, wish for a reversal of this decision. I have always been with you, with all my heart" So he still wants us to remain. He then...

    What is the point of such a deliberately confrontational statement? It's not like it's going to bring anyone on his side, is it? You don't win arguments by insulting people.

    [News] MPs defecting to The Independent Group in parliament

    WTF? I added that poll at the end of my post for interest, just to demonstrate it's more about the man rather than the policies. His policies have been misrepresented has hard left, yet they are popular or common practice in many socially democratic (not socialist) countries, and others which...

    [News] MPs defecting to The Independent Group in parliament

    I agree Labour and Corbyn in particular should display more clarity. I'm often frustrated that he does not, as it's quite often in his interests to do so. Rather than affirmatively correcting people, he tends to get annoyed that they do not understand what he's saying, expecting everyone to have...

    [News] MPs defecting to The Independent Group in parliament

    You've talked some bollocks in this thread, but I've got to call this one out, because it's pretty easy to do so. What lie? That was never the policy. Either it's you who's lying, or you're misinformed. I assume you are talking about the false allegation that Labour backtracked on wiping...
