I got confused. Which one was Blair and which one was Brown? Both look the same to me.

If this had been a member of a different party my opinion would be exactly the same. It's unacceptable and whoever did it should face severe reprimands for it.

Certainly it is construed as such in the ongoing power battle. Whichever way the other parties would jump on it as proof of incompetence. I remember one of the things I was told by one of my first bosses was never admit a mistake as it's seen as weakness. Didn't agree with him then, don't...

So had an affair while his wife was having cancer treatment and has made at best ill-judged language that could be construed as racist but doesn't see the problem in it. He's just following the Boris path to power.

Probably just shoved him up the pecking order for a ministerial position in this government.

Everyone gets people mixed up. But these are prominent members of his party who are regularly in the media. They've got quite obvious differences. Do you think he's say the same about Raab and Hancock for example?

But that's down to their own poor performance.

I assume by that you mean on the share value rather than the returns, be it dividend or capital gain. In that instance it would form part of a wealth tax, which I think needs looking into. Obviously it would need structuring such that it would not put off share ownership. It may push more...

Apart from possibly Priti Patel who would have had a policy to infect everyone non-British arriving in the country to try and put off immigrants and asylum seekers.

Maybe, but saving a few thousand lives against being responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands still puts you at quite a deficit.

Well as he was an MEP for ages, was a prominent figure in the Leave campaign and was the leader of a couple of political parties that did well in local elections and got quite a few votes for what were fringe parties it would appear quite a few people take him seriously.

So what if he's just a talk show host. He's very prominently in the public eye and a lot of people listen to him and believe what he says. He has more influence than most politicians. He has been tricked into saying it but then you've got to ask if something like this gets past him then how...

He is just reading a message out but he or his team should be on top of making sure stuff like this gets weeded out. Do you think someone like Starmer or Corbyn would get away with the excuse of "I was just reading a message out"?

They're selling a load of shares as well. Club will get nothing.

Can't be true. The BBC is full of woke lefties don't you know.

I think we somehow need to incorporate dividends into corporation tax in some form. At the moment it's tax v dividends and if you base the tax around the dividends everyone is pulling in the same direction. If the shareholders are doing well so is the public purse.

It's probably more him nominating himself by just dominating meetings. Like us with the Trust. Half the time we're wondering what on earth's are these people doing being the spokespeople for us.

Exactly. Not wanting things to change is a definite position. Wanting to change things has endless permutations. So even if a large majority of the population want things to change chances are you'd still not get enough of a consensus on how to do it to overcome the few that want things staying...

I'm not a fan of giving one individual too much power, especially one who can claim they have a mandate from the people. As we already see in elections people will very easily fall for lies, promises that can't be kept or just the personality of the person. Promise one thing then do another and...

Depends on loads of variables - size of magma chamber, pressure inside it, how violently it's erupting. Although it's terrible that people are losing their homes an eruption like this is far more preferable to one massive eruption. Think of it likes a kettle. The steam coming out of the top is...
