    R I P Murray Walker

    Used to enjoy his commentary. Clearly enjoyed what he was doing and the occasional gaffes were just part of the package. Shame he's gone, gone, gone.

    Agree about the Lords. As I've said before that should be the PV elected chamber to go with the constituency based Commons.

    Of course the Queen won't be apolitical, but she knows better than to voice her opinion or try and interfere. We could put in an arrangement that any President had to be independent of a political party, but we all know that won't happen. If anything it'd be more dangerous cos you'd have a...

    4 Day Weekend

    I'm not saying everything is a step back, just that not everything is a step forward. Sometimes you have to do things wrong to get them right. We became a republic shortly in the 1600's but it was shit and we brought back the monarchy. Doesn't mean the republic was a wrong idea, just they had...

    Piers Morgan leaves GMB

    Oh, I agree she ramps it up as part of a performing persona. Not different to how Boris does his bumbling. But when I found out she was head girl at a selective all-girls school I wasn't in the least bit surprised.

    Sarah Everard

    Of course males are responsible for male violence against women - the clues in the fucking sentence! But does that mean ALL men are responsible for it? Or even MOST men? As I've said I was brought up in an almost exclusively female household, so I think I've just naturally become accustomed to...

    I went there but because at home my family was pretty much all female - mum, sister, two grandmas and an auntie compared to one grandad, it levelled me out. There were certainly a couple of lads who had fucking horrendous views of the role of women, and these weren't exactly ones you'd think...

    It's not just one way. I can't be the only one to have been unfortunate enough to have encountered a hen party or girls night out and the harassment they can give guys, especially ones by themsleves, is massive. A stag party would, quite rightly, be thought of as pigs for doing the same to...

    It's something I tend to do naturally, but what do you do when it's a single footpath?

    Of course it's a predominantly male thing, especially the violence as it's exacerbated by testoterone. But does that mean we should generalise it and assume all men are likely to do it? No. That's why the idea of this 'male curfew' is utterly absurd. You can't punish a majority of people for...

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

    Covid will have played a part, but that'd work in both directions and even out - swings and roundabouts. Any drop in our exports would be matched in a drop in our imports. When you look at non-EU it's roughly equal - about 9%. But our exports to the EU have dropped by a huge amount compared to...

    It kind of is a lot of the time, with Norcott brought in just to give it balance. I find Parris quite condescending and seems to have a massive opinion of herself. Some of the stuff she does about men is really lazy stereotyping - she's almost a reverse Bernard Manning at times. Nish is REALLY...

    The official NFL Thread

    Still find it amazing that most capitalist nation on Earth uses a socialist principle to even out the competition in its favourite sport. You literally get rewarded for being shit. Then I remember it's a closed system and all the 'franchises' are just money making machines for the billionnaire...

    It prob will be when it eventually happens. Whatever the outcome of something it'll be celebrated as a victory cos history is written by the winners. Like Bonfire night - we'd still have that even if they'd succeeded because it'd have been seen as a great victory against monarchy/Protestantism...

    Yep, great way to say thank you - give everyone else a day off while they have to work! If it was in the summer probably make it worse if people sat drinking all day.

    As well as those two there's Reece James and James Justin who aren't shabby. Max Aarons is also one for the future. Left side much less so. you've got Chilwell and Saka, who's very attack minded and then....? Next one I can think of is Shaw.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    A civilised society would consider others and would happily put up with the minor inconvenience to try and prevent hundreds of thousands of people getting ill. Even a selfish one would think it'd give themselves a better chance of not getting ill. I didn't realise Japan wasn't civilised.
