I mean you could try the whole "if we stop intervening in places trying to show we're still Bertie Big-Bollocks on the world stage and creating power vacuums (spending huge amounts on wars in the process) we stop people getting displaced and needing asylum or becoming immigrants and we reduce...

That's a stance I'd broadly agree with BUT.. you know full well the taxes for the rich would just be attacked as a 'tax on hardworking people' and would affect those on middle incomes most, even if it was completely untrue. Then on the other side the woke brigade would just kick up a fuss about...

I'd really rather not thanks.

So it isn't absorbing water and getting heavier in that manner. But in the old days when balls did as it meant footballers couldn't kick the wet ball as hard or quick as the dry one. Try it. Kick a bucket. Then fill the bucket with water and kick it again. Tell me which goes furthest and fastest.

If not awarding points I'd argue that makes the contest more dangerous. As you say it'll need a KO so they're going to be going for the big blows.

Really frustrating to get so many injuries any time, but especially ahead of a game that is very winnable.

But we've also pointed out that that ball will be able to be struck harder and travel faster, especially with better equipment like boots designed to transfer the power more efficiently. In your example of dropping the ball you're not taking that into account. It's more akin to dropping the old...

I'm a bit concerned because they're still going to be way better than the average person in terms of power etc but they're still 50-odd. Their bodies will still be ageing like everyone else and blood vessels etc won't be as elastic as they were when they were younger and are much more liable to...

Is anyone actually remotely surprised they're just apeing whatever America does?

Why are you working in a factory producing COVID? Stop working and we might be allowed out quicker! ;)

I agree. Think I suggested that'll be what'll happen a few weeks ago on here. Extend lockdown a bit longer into Dec (can't do it too long as it's shops main revenue time) have Xmas and New Year opened up more then Jan and possibly part of Feb under tight restrictions and hope we get a mild...

I reckon gas in the home will be gone in roughly a generation. Not only is it a finite resource it's potentially dangerous if not done correctly with fire or CO risk. Although modern boilers are more efficient I find it takes much longer for taps to get hot now because it has to wait for the...

I've always felt this was the system which most mirrored current motoring in terms of fueling etc, but itself does have problems. Firstly, 'refining' the hydrogen can be tricky because it so likes to be friends with other elements it's hard to 'unglue' it from them. Secondly is the image...

Doesn't answer the question for terraced housing where you can't park the car near your house. My house is about 20 yards from the road in a cul-de-sac so having a charging point installed at my house would be pointless. Of course you can install points at the edge of the road and/or on nearby...

I've expected road tax to move more towards mileage than set rates for a while. As we change towards cleaner vehicles I think that's the way it will go with a bigger focus on the congestion on the roads rather than the pollution of the cars. Of course you can say we already do tax per mile due...

In the end I think it'll end up a merger/takover between F1 and FE. F1 cars already use electric systems more powerful than an average family hatchback and as it improves with efficiency and mileage combustion engines will become naturally obsolete. This is just giving a warning to the...

Trouble is it what they tend to do, along with Italy. Look potentially vulnerable in the qualifiers then turn up at the tournament proper, sometimes even scraping through the group stage but end up in the semi's/final. Portugal have also done that in the last decade. Spain and France used to be...

It should be a concern because it plays a massive part in getting elected in the modern day. Most people don't know many of the policies of the parties unless they're highlighted (such as Brexit). Tory manifesto last time was the most vague one I've ever read - it may as well have just said GET...

I agree with that, but at the same time when you have Starmer making more of the issue of Corbyn by denying the whip ahead of pointing out the issues those attacking Labour have, which are arguably far broader and larger, it's making it easy for them. Admittedly it's a damned-if-you-do...
