    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    One thing this Scotland thing is showing is that they're not these principled people fighting for a cause for a cause they believe. They're as much ego-driven, power-hungry and driven by self-interest as every other politician. Hopefully it'll lead to the independence movement taking a long hard...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    Not much of a protest if you turn up and then just do exactly what you're told. First they get told to move back, then vacate the area, then go home. If they just comply it's a pretty easy ride for the politicians. It's a shame it's the police that have to deal with this. perhaps those...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    So what about the woman sitting there that gets smashed in the face? Or the journalist that reported they got hit because the police didn't believe them. Proportional response or 'acting the twat'? Why did the police make up claims of injuries that never happened unless they want to make it seem...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    Indeed. But as you say that plan requires significant player sales to bring about. While no doubt there would be players we could get a decent fee for even if we went down as they now have Championship experience (O'hare, Hamer, Dabo) + return on the likes of Walker and Godden it still seems to...

    School Protests

    I agree they could've approached it differently. you can have the argument about showing images of Mohammed etc without actually showing them. Arguing why they should and shouldn't be shown. At most all they needed was a blank piece of paper on the desk saying it had an image of Mohammed on the...

    School Protests

    Who's providing the unsafe learning environment? A guy showing some cartoons or a load of people outside the gate and on social media calling for said teacher to be sacked/jailed or worse for showing them? Christianity used to have similar laws - one of the commandments is no graven images...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It's all very well talking about 'not listening to legitimate concerns' but the fact is many people did and saw the massive holes in the argument that the actual legal system didn't support. For example, the 'proper' racists that wanted less black/brown people - that's outside the EU and thus...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    I agree with the plan BUT the problem with it is it's again short-sighted like when they took over, bought some decent players and sold them quickly for the profits ultimately leading to relegation, a much lower income and thus less chance to recover interest/capital. If they plan to take out...

    Ngandu

    I wouldn't have Eccles and N'gandu as playing the same role. One is more of a Kelly-type player the other closer to O'Hare, or maybe Hamer. You wouldn't put them down as competing for the same role. But having said that Eccles is definitely closer to first team, but is also a year older. He's...

    Alex Salmond in danger of becoming Scotland's Farage. What does he hope to achieve with another independence party other than split the independence vote? Ah, yes. His ego. This is what happens a lot with the left - they end up splintering into factions and so none of them end up in power...

    School Protests

    Why I don't think faith schools are a good idea and why free schools exacerbate the situation. No surprise a lot of institutions wanting to set up free schools have religious backing. Get them young before the brain is developed enough to rationally question what they're being told.

    School Protests

    But as long as people follow religions to have tolerance and respect you need to understand those different belief systems. IMO what RE should be far more able to do is ask the question "why might this also not be true? Why do some people believe this and call the others nonsense, yet another...

    Loan Watch

    He was identified by Viveash due to his Chelsea connections, not due to European scouts. He just then happened to be on loan at a European league when we had a look at him.

    The latest social media trend

    Would bring a new meaning to 'unfurl the flag'. Is everyone going to have to maintain a permanent erection to ensure it flies at full mast or If we're getting on a bit is it ok if we only get it to half mast?

    Not looking like they're accepting an alleged corrupt council in an area that traditionally votes Labour being taken over by an (alleged) corrupt government of a party that has traditionally done a lot of harm to the place.

    Latest on this is that the Goldman Sach's boss thinks it's 'great' they've brought it up with management, but 'if we all go an extra mile' it makes a big difference to performance. Basically, shut the fuck up and get on with it. If anything it sounds like he's asking them to do even more.
