    Cyclist on illegal bike who killed a pedestrian on manslaughter charged 'blamed victim'

    Surely if he was going slower, he would have gone less far in the same time??

    Jose Izquierdo - ALL CONFIRMED - NEW RECORD SIGNING

    Makes sense... except the article on the club website says it is the FA that have granted the Work Permit. Surely it's a formality to get the international clearance if they've been happy to do that... or is it the Colombian FA?

    You don't think the Exit in Brexit refers to the European Union? Even Nigel bloody Farage was saying before the referendum that we wouldn't leave the Single Market, but would stay in it like other non-EU countries like Norway & Switzerland. "the Norway option looks the best for the UK" -...

    Yes, they will. And if we trade under WTO rules, we a) Will probably end up charging tariffs on imported goods; these tariffs will increase the cost of everything imported. Maybe every single industry will end up with a tariff-free trade agreement... not sure how likely that is. b) Will...

    Talking of facts, this... isn't one. We do not have to leave the single market, and indeed many on the leave side campaigned saying "don't worry, we're not going to do anything daft like leave the single market"

    Well, personally I meant the increased cost of every single product that travels either way between us & the EU once we're out the customs union. But yes, if the pound never recovers then our exports will be boosted. Everything you & I buy, and every overseas holiday you or I ever go on, will be...

    Risky for them as a party? Tough shit, their job is to do what's best for the country. If harming the economy isn't a good enough reason to change tack, then neither is their party's vote share.

    Quite. "New poll suggests UK public want free unicorns for everybody". Presumably any minister that didn't provide one of the horny little *******s by the next morning would be labelled a traitor.

    I wonder how many leavers feel the same way about voting for an extra £350m per week for the NHS. "I don't care if it will hurt us, it's what we (narrowly) said we wanted when we voted in a refendum 14 months ago, during the campaigns for which both sides lied to us, so they should do it...

    Blimey, there are some scary results in there. Whatever your feelings on Brexit, to see >50% of the public wanting a full hard border & customs check on the Irish border is a surprise. The question is what should the Government do on the details? There's no mandate for a hard border with...

    It's true, the economy has not collapsed and we are not in recession. It's also true that the pound did drop off a cliff the day after the referendum (without recovering since), and that the economy, while not in recession, has slowed (2017 growth to date is lower than 2016). So it's quite...

    Games moved for tv

    Maybe it's easier to get kids into it this way? If you live in somewhere like Bury or Oldham, you can take the kids to Gigg Lane or Boundary Park and watch the live Man Utd or City game at 12 or 5:30. If the kids are being led astray by their glory hunting mates at school, might make all the...

    At 5:30pm tomorrow...

    I like a nice pint of Harveys before the game. but I'm a massive lightweight and I don't like being drunk at the game... so probably one or two. (I realise I should brace for a bit of stick for this one...)

    Coutinho off to Barca

    Spurs challenged for the title the last two years, more than they did when Bale was there. If Liverpool reinvest the money wisely they could do the same; the question is whether they've got deals lined up ready to go in time for 31st August...

    Albion Tickets appearing for big money on resale websites

    I agree, but the club could argue it costs them money. If you can't go, why should they let you hand it to a family member when they could make a tenner out of an on-line resale to somebody you don't know?

    I guess if a corporate ticket just says 'corporate' then they'll let the holder through. 'Normal' tickets, and season tickets, I believe have names printed on them. I wasn't there so can't confirm but I heard they were checking IDs at some away games towards the end of last season - QPR was one...

    Do you mean specifics, or general principles? The general principle that "if something is more expensive, you will sell less of it", doesn't seem particularly controversial to me.
