    McWhopper

    There is something very depressing about the way that good food has to be transformed into a Brand before it is taken seriously. I think I'd like to make a homemade hamburger to mark World Peace Day.

    UK net migration hits record high

    No. I'm not suggesting that everyone with concerns about immigration is a right wing extremist. But, undoubtedly, among the folk who are most loquacious about the subject are some people who are right wing extremists. And they are deluded if they think it is obvious that an EU referendum will...

    UK net migration hits record high

    The only figure I will give you is that the latest YouGov poll suggests that 55 per cent of the electorate supports the UK's continued membership of the EU. Right wing extremists who imagine that an EU referendum will be the beginning of the end of immigration are delusional fantasists.

    UK net migration hits record high

    What if the referendum results in us staying in the EU? And what exactly do you mean by "stop pussy footing around in Calais"?

    UK net migration hits record high

    Interestingly, nothing very much seems to have happened with regard to the idea that Lord Gage came up with about five years ago - to build new houses at the edge of the village to improve the prospects of the village school and the village shop, by encouraging local people to carry on living in...

    UK net migration hits record high

    The problem that is not being addressed is housing. That would be the case regardless of how many immigrants were arriving. It may well be the case that the government can't do much to keep the number of immigrants down. Indeed, given the world refugee crisis, there's a strong humanitarian...

    Have I missed something? When did Labour take over responsibility from the Tories?

    Sainsbury's to raise pay by 4%

    Is it 4% across the board (to maintain existing differentials)? And does the deal go along with Gideon's divisive idea to treat employees under the age of 25 worse than those over 25? I'm reserving judgment until the details come out.

    English, Maths or Science?

    One that teaches people how to spell EIGHT, FOREIGN, HEIGHT, LEISURE and NEIGHBOUR, to name just five.

    Maybe Gatlin not winning means something.

    REMF fundraiser involved in yesterday's air tragedy

    In a peculiar sort of way, my feeling is that, far from paling into insignificance at times like this, football is something that can draw its family together and give us the strength to get through the harshest of tragedies.

    REMF fundraiser involved in yesterday's air tragedy

    Awful news. We need to let his family know that we will all miss him.

    It's August. The college is closed for the month.

    You'll never guess who I just saw in Dyke Road Tesco in Hove

    Unfortunately the first time can be too traumatic to induce sleep. The first time I ever met him was at Kenilworth Road. My enjoyment of the pre-match Bovril was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of a complete stranger, who grasped my hand and uttered the words "Hove Born and Bred". As far...

    I know. But I'm not saying. People deserve their privacy.

    Banksy amusement park..?

    When I was studying French for A-Level, I got into terrible trouble with the teacher for expressing the opinion that the jokes in Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme weren't as funny as the jokes in The Harry Worth Show (which, for the benefit of younger readers, was a notoriously unfunny TV...

    Banksy amusement park..?

    But Banksy's jokes are free at the point of use. They're only expensive if you want to buy the original. And that's part of the joke.

    [Misc] Cockney rhyming slang quizz

    I've always had doubts about "scarper" being Cockney Rhyming Slang. I think it derives from the Italian word, scappare, meaning "to run away".
