Basically, he's doing it because he's either ill and doesn't care about the consequences or he's removed himself from other people to such an extent that there's been been no counter argument to his thought process.

It's what happens when you base your culture around greed and self-interest.

That's the point where it's difficult to imagine the thoughts of a madman, but like I said before it may well be he knows he's very ill and often people with his kind of mindset think the world is worthless without them in it, so if it ends in hellfire it doesn't matter. Other option is that...

Don't know if it's just that they've been reported more the last few days, but there seems to have been a few Western press killed in the last few days, esp. ones working for US networks. Probably isn't, but wondered if it might be a new Russian tactic to goad the West into getting involved.

To be fair though the 'Perfumo' scandal stunk.

Well it is. The situation has changed not to their advantage and competitors will be looking to step in and make the most of their situation. Were they complaining when Abramovich turns up with his billions, not caring where it had come from to make them a superpower in European football? Did...

Not at all. Fact is they can take a coach paid for by their employers. If they find that unacceptable they can choose to pay for alternative means. I've had situations in the past where I could have bus fare covered, but if I didn't want to take the bus and got a cab I'd have to pay for it out...

This kind of shit happens everyday. Businesses go under and often the people least at fault are the ones most affected. Of course, I don't want to see those in the lower paid roles out of work, but I imagine a lot of the coaching/fitness etc. teams would be in demand elsewhere if they're...

The players could always cover the plane tickets out of their own pocket if it matters that much to them.

It is silly, and unfortunately it does show that greed takes over. While the housing sell off was good to allow people to own their own homes, as those homes get sold off they completely disregard the things that made them enjoy living there in the first place - community, long term neighbours...

Anyone on here decent at programming? Wondered if any might make a 'Numble', where you have a sum involving 4-5 numbers between 0-9 and you get 6 goes or whatever to work out what the sum is? Basically I thought Rachel Riley might be feeling left out now Susie Dent's got her own game.

Of course Grendel knows that. It's just that it's someone on his 'side' so he'll defend come what may. I asked him what other reason there might be for them paying to get close to politicians and he came back with nothing, so he knows the reason for it. bBt he can't be seen to be conceding...

He must be expecting to live to a very old age.

So why do you think MI6 suddenly withdrew their concerns about him? Do you think the committee wouldn't have doubts about appointing someone that MI6 has flagged as a potential threat? Besides, it goes way beyond his peerage. Johnson has been very lax on Russia, almost to the point of being an...

And you don't think Johnson pulled a few strings and lent on a few people? MI6 had doubts about Lebedev (mind you, they had them about Johnson as well) As for the second point:

Hope you feel better soon.

Well, Boris for starters. You know - the Prime Minister.

Despite the fact the players are young and thus less likely to be seriously affected, putting their lungs and bodies under that much exertion and stress while dealing with what is still a severe respiratory disease is a dangerous thing to do. The damage it could do that could affect them in...

Maybe there is a deal to be done. But if it was it's more a matter of how long would Putin stick to it? If he agreed it'd only be because he needed to replenish supplies etc. He would not see it as ending his pursuit of Ukraine - he believes Russia (and so by extension, he) has a right to...

And how many people within that establishment does he have access to who he can try to influence? Carrie doesn't have any position at all in the corridors of power but has supposedly heavily influenced policy because of her relationship with Boris. Just as the likes of Cummings et al have. And...
