Anyone remember the Stutter Rap?

I wholeheartedly agree that those people should be the major voices when talking about issues like racism, homophobia and misogyny. The point I was making is we hear a lot of black people talk about how easy it is being white and feminists go on about how privileged and easy it is to be men...

Maybe there'll be quite a few triallists playing they don't want being publicised? Or maybe the entire Huddersfield squad have been forced by deedpoll to change their name to Patrick Power so the sponsor's name is on every shirt. I've also heard a number of women are changing their name to Bet...

I agree. The thing that should determine the minimum wage should be living costs - the criteria being can you afford to live off it? But of course then you just end up getting people charging more for things and you end up in a vicious circle of inflation. It's why the idea of a 'citizens wage'...

He has the right to speak freely. He (or anyone else) does not have the right to make shit up and claim 'free speech'. If you make claims they should be able to be backed up by evidence (and proper evidence, not "a poll says x% of people think/feel crime is on the rise/Mexicans are rapists")...

Yes it can be 'dumbed down' into a simplistic soundbite for either side but often those are the most effective ways of pointing out the flaws and fallacies of a system. You go into the detail and you can blind and confuse people with too much information, as is often done deliberately in a...

But in that case why aren't we massively upping the wages of teachers and nurses, or even doctors? Massive shortfall in these positions but get very little. Meanwhile tons of people try and fight to be an MP, which requires no minimum level of knowledge, expertise or experience. They get huge...

While on the whole I agree with you does this also mean it should apply to women about male privilege, black people about white privilege and LGBT about straight privilege? They haven’t experienced it, so they should shut the fuck up & hear from the people who have. There was this piece I saw...

Wouldn't it just become a 44 game season with effectively 23 teams if they didn't start?

In the NFL they have testing days where the up and coming college kids are given physical tests and all these are put into teams databases and they see who best fits what they think they need (unless an owner decides he wants a particular player for marketing reasons etc). Loads of the top picks...

Why not the sunshine, moonlight or good times?

Unacceptable, but it's not like Britain has never done the same.

This is not the plaice for that and you're skateing on thin ice cushions.

It has been argued one of the main reasons a number of wealthy individuals, financiers etc back Brexit is because the EU wants to bring in tougher independent regulation of financial services. That doesn't suit them as it shines a light on their activities. People like JRM want self-regulation...

Technically slavery is not paying them at all. Not paying them enough is exploitation.

Cancelling Article 50 is NOT cancelling Brexit. A strong British government would not have invoked Article 50 in the first place because it then set the deadlines etc. and reduces their opportunities to negotiate. They did so because the EU told them they had to - what would the EU have done had...

He was brought in to score goals - he didn't do that regularly enough. He missed chances. We were told he was a quick striker - he certainly didn't look quick. We were told he was a poacher but he kept dropping deep to get the ball rather than get in the area. He's short and not physically...

As I've said, even if he's successful at Barnsley that's no guarantee he was going to be successful here. I just didn't see how MR was going to fit him into any of his preferred systems be it 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Plus if we've got a sell-on clause and Barnsley find a way to get more from him then...

Good luck to the lad. Wasn't working out for him last season and didn't look like we were going to play to his strengths this year either. To have apparently made a profit on him is decent business. Even if he goes onto success at Barnsley it still doesn't mean we didn't do the correct thing -...

Maybe to a certain extent. I just used those figures as an example of what I personally would look at. For other they might not go that high. Many others would go much much higher. With a tax it would obviously be dependent on the price of the bottle to begin with. It can be argued a lot of the...
