    Liam Walsh

    Well, yes, I'm sure some players in contract will be moved on - even if Walsh doesn't join.

    Liam Walsh

    This would lead to loads of goals. Walsh is an intelligent player; he'd make the through pass and then run to the far post to tap in the rebound.

    Strictly speaking, that's correct... it's stated that Oakey doesn't approve of "opinion" but it's not made clear whether he thinks it's a belief or a fact. Maybe he can clarify? Because I don't agree that it's a belief either, because there is rationality and fact behind the statement.

    School Protests

    That's a more subtle opinion (or is it a fact?) than I expected from you, Tony. But still very muddled and nebulous. Boiling that down: 1. It's not wrong to offend a faith. (I agree) 2. It is wrong to deliberately set out to offend a faith sometimes. For example, it's OK to offend...

    I'm teaching algebra tomorrow - a last minute top up for a pupil who has her pretend GCSE school exam to help the teacher grade them up. I'll not give you the address in case you pitch up outside.

    School Protests

    It seems to me that Oakey believes it is a fact and disapproved of kids who thought it an opinion. I guess I'd have been in the corner wearing a conical hat.

    School Protests

    "Murder is wrong" is an opinion. It's an opinion almost universally held but it's still an opinion. "Fact" means something different. I picked this up from Google and it expresses my opinion on this better than I could: " A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false. An opinion is...

    School Protests

    Tony, think about the stuff that some of these extremist Muslims do and say. Then replace the word "Muslim" with "Neo-Nazi". Then consider if you still support them. I imagine you think you're being anti-racism. And yet nobody here has even touched upon that... we're criticising the...

    No they didn't. They voted against adding it as an amendment to the Brexit bill. Context and nuance are important.

    Not all of them; have worked with lots of sensible; laid-back Muslims over the years. Worked for one for a year or so: wonderful chap. He'd previously been not very religious, even though born into it, but then became more serious about it in his 40s. He had typical Western values. I had a...
