The mining industry did bring the country to its knees in 1974, when during the miners strike then the country endured a 3 day week and blackouts. Heath called an election basically saying back me or the miners and lost! Scargill was involved in that too. Not NUM president, but Yorkshire NUM...

You were right

Bairstow gone

I actually said it was a moral question not a geopolitical one so, can you please answer my question which was....... If a country's regime cannot feed its people and the country regularly has famines caused by political mismanagement (i.e the situation is not geographical/climatalogical...

If a country's regime cannot feed its people and the country regularly has famines caused by political mismanagement (i.e the situation is not geographical/climatalogical because S Korea doesn't have famines). Is it correct that regime should continue? I am asking you this as a moral question...

Why do North Korea feel the need to invest so heavily in it's military. Yet other countries whose people have famine e.g Ethiopia as an example, do not feel the need for an atomic bomb and have other priorities. Shouldn't a country where people starve first priority be to feed its people? Also...

In my opinion, I think the judges comments suggested "bad rather than mad" and that their is nothing mad about Philpott (in fact amongst other things he is devious, but I agree with you very much in that he is thick, he reminds me of Karren Matthews, but worse of course). I personally think...

It looks like there near neighbours are also struggling against another crack XI Yorks 93/7 (28.4 ov, GS Ballance 38*, RJ Sidebottom 3*, HP Rouse 0/24) | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Here is a source for you the BBC BBC News - Charities warn of food shortages in North Korea Can you please advise how it is morally acceptable for a country to spend billions on trying to make an atomic bomb while it's people regularly suffer famine?

I don't get your point...are you trying to say that Philpott is mentally ill? Which is what you seemed to suggest to me, in the thread I replied to? His "previous" to me does not suggest this as he went to jail not a mental institution. In respect of this case, as he was charged with...

I find it quite insulting the way you continously back up and act as a lickspittle for the utterly odious NK regime. Whose people starve to death for lack of food while their leaders spend billions on nuclear weapons. See again in your post just look at what you have written.... "you should do...

Philpott isn't mentally ill and never has been, he was convicted of manslaughter, not murder. He was initially charged with murder but the police actually dropped that charge. If his plan had been successful there was to be a fire in his house and he was going to rescue everyone and be the hero...

You really think yourself very, very clever don't you. This update just shows this, you might as well say I am more cleverer than all of you and only I can see the truth, well let me tell you, you are wrong. Do you not think that we read information eminating from and on behalf of the North...

I think the thing is not to look at it as you have, but to look at it as such. Mairead Philpott has been given a sentence of between 8.5 years and 17 years. Depending on how she behaves in prison, whether the parole board thinks she will be a danger to the community if released etc. will...

Totally agree 100%. England actually have no World class players at the moment. Rooney and Gerrard at one time in their careers were world class i.e would get in a World XI but not now. A good indicator, I think, of truly how good an England player is when International managers/jounalists etc...

I hope that happens. I want Monty playing for Sussex this season and if Swanny is getting wickets for England that should be the case, so all is good if that is how it transpires. In any case well done today Monty and Matty today. Why Matt isn't playing for England in limited overs game I...

Another one to be added to this list is Amy Winehouse.... As for living legends, I reckon you could add Mick Jagger and the other Rolling Stones. (Nearly??) 50 years of touring and still selling out!

There were TURBULENT times at Old Trafford in 2012 but I have a feeling it is BOEING to be PLANE sailing for Lancs CCC in the second division in 2013 and they will soon SOAR back into the top FLIGHT....providing it doesn't rain too much of course.

Eddie Mair is the regular presenter of the PM programme on Radio 4 around 5pm. I quite often listen to him driving home tearing apart politicians (and others) of all parties about the subjects of the day. I am actually disappointed (and don't listen) when he is on holiday, or elsewhere, and A.N...

I wonder if Sven would have thrown his hat into the ring?
