Nice little bit of biased local commentating there......Sussex have a long tail 128/5 to 347/7

I tend to agree. It is actually almost impossible in any political field to be totally neutral and as other posters have put on here, it is where you look at it from that makes the BBC look bias. The original poster refers to left wing bias, but the SNP thinks they are biased against them too...

Other problems with your petition idea that you may not have thought of....let us play through a scenario....500,000 signatures sign a petition to bring back the death penalty. It goes to a public vote as you espouse and on a 20% turnout hanging is brought back.....it transpires that 2 years...

You can't just espouse referendums on damn never every subject and then ignore the fact that in the one UK nationwide referendum in the last 5 years there was a 42% turnout.... you talk about healthy debates etc but how the hell are you going to drum up interest for every single subject, people...

What you espouse just would not work....very very soon people would get very bored of voting on every subject the turnout would very quickly be below 5%. Remember the vote on AV we had 3 or so years ago. The percentage turnout was pitiful for such a major decision (42% just looked it up)...

Yep, casting my mind back to last season we just did not get enough first innings runs, our bowlers could get 20 wickets no problem, but so often we got really mediocre first innings totals. It was basically pretty much the Ed Joyce show when it came to batting last season if I remember correctly?

I know Gordon Brown's was appalling.....do you remember he wrote a hand written letter to the parents of a deceased servicemen from Afghanistan and the mother complained she could hardly read it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8351883.stm Thank goodness the subs captain didn't have to open up his...

A person whose nationality is from country x puts a timed bomb on a plane in an airport in country y, this plane happens to be the national airline of country z and all of the people on that plane come from country z. 5 hours later in the middle of the pacific ocean the bomb explodes and all...

Couldn't agree with you more, when I heard the news this morning just thought back to all the summer days of my youth and this.... Morning Ritchie, Morning Jim, Morning everybody............and England in a spot of trouble here I do think the best sporting commentator there was too.

Nope, seen various TV programs about our submarines that carrier the nuclear warheads. The captain was interviewed and basically he says he has an unopened hand written letter from the PM and in the event of war and all communication with the chain of command being lost i.e the UK being wiped...

Let me give an example of how I think it deters. Between 1915 and 1945 enemies of Britain's launched bombers over our country and bombed all of our major cities. After 1945 and for the next 70 years up to today, that has not occured once even though another enemy of ours, the (former) Soviet...

But I am not quite sure you see the point of what they truly primarily are. In that they are the ultimate deterent. It is the THREAT of a nuclear strike that stops a conventional war for example a seabourne invasion of the British Isles (a scenario Britain faced in 1940). The question no-one...

Yes. The deterent is the fact that our Prime Minister has the option to use it, as a last resort. In theory any enemy of the future, Russia, China, an Islamic superstate (for examples) could overrun continental Europe and could be massed at Calais. Their leader will know that if they approve...

Another soundbite from the political heavyweight Joey Essex today........... "David Cameron is the Prime Minister. But to be fair, to me, they are all prime ministers"

Tell me now, what party did Cyril Smith come from?

Just been reading this on the Telegraph....Joey Essex seems to have a full grasp of the UK political system:lolol: 11.07 The Liberal Democrats have renamed themselves the Liberal "Democats". It comes after Joey Essex, a reality TV star, joked with Nick Clegg that he had assumed that was their...

It is off course chicanary from Cameron to avoid them and I can understand why he doesn't want them, because he was the real loser of the debates last time. Before them the Tories were probably on for a majority, after them the Lib Dems looked a viable alternative to the 2 party status quo and...

Couldn't agree with you more! At times, I really wish Chris was more pacific in what he is saying in his post match comments.

The Kiwi's got 300 (to all intents and purposes) in 43 overs off the South African bowling attack. What a run chase. I can only wonder what England would have got faced with a similar target....145 all out?

Phil "the Power" Taylor?
