I was wondering about the baby. I'm assuming as the mother is a British national the baby can claim British citizenship, or at least a British passport. I can claim an Irish passport but I've never been to the place in my life and I can make that claim because I've got parentage from N. Ireland...

No, they're saying that SOME of the people they see will need help with language, so they provide a service for that where required. That isn't the same as ONLY providing help to those with language problems. If you went abroad somewhere which had a different main language you didn't speak and...

Just out of curiosity do you assume your local Christian vicar/priest is a paedophile who preys on the choirboys?

Does it take into account racial profiling? If you're of a particular group that gets checked a lot more than others then those people are going to make up a disproportionate amount of offenders. This is then perpetuated as these groups being more likely to commit a crime, so get checked more...

The EDL has had an estimated maximum membership of 35k since inception, now much lower. If it was 2 done for grooming that's 0.005% of its membership (and remember that is at the very extreme estimates of its membership - chances are its much lower. There are over 3m Muslims in Britain. 0.005%...

Legally I think we'll have to take her back, but I have to admit I've got a very bad feeling about her and if she does I doubt it'll be the last time she's in the news for extremism. But what to do with her? Put her in prison? She can radicalise other impressionable people. Let her free on the...

Have you looked at the Highland League lately? Lossiemouth have conceded 114 goals in 27 games with a goal difference of -90. And they're not even bottom! That's Fort William, who've let in 170 in 24 games and a goal diff of -154.

Is he talking sense, or just repeating what some people want to hear because their lives aren't what they want them to be and want someone to blame? Working class people are treated unfairly, but do you know who by more than anyone? White non-working class people. Like the Trump brigade, Look...

Of course it's a positive thing. I'm just saying how many previous generations that did marches etc ended up continuing that philosophy once they grew up and other more pressing day-to-day issues took over? Look these kids up in 25 years time and see how many are still going on about it and...

No. It's not saying to lump it all the time. It's saying that when the pretty football is proving ineffective in a particular match you need another option to try and break down the opposition. Doesn't have to be lump it - it's just one of the potential options available. If you just keep doing...

I've no problem with them doing it, but it's not exactly new. You had the hippie generation of the 60's (my parents age who're now the middle aged people in charge). Even my generation were quite on-board with the eco message, but again we seem to be doing little to change things. I suspect...

The Sky Blues boss refuses to resort to it I assume it's the same as in #574 (not read all of that, but the gist sounds the same) I'm OK with MR wanting to play a particular way and even starting all games in that manner if he wants. What I take issue with is when those tactics are clearly...

After this latest "sate of emergency" to get funds for the wall, there is a growing part of me that really wants it to get built, so when it is and the immigrants and the drugs still continue to pour into America he can no longer use the excuse that it's because his wall wasn't built. Plus if...

You make that argument with yourself that they must have better info seeing them in training, but then you remember things like Andy Morrell on the right wing, Bakayoko as a lump-it-to-his-head targetman and Maguire-Drew/Josh Barrett on the pitch and think "Do they really know them?"

You cease to be a knight of the realm when you die, so a posthumous knighthood isn't a thing. Should've had one 50 years ago.

I was talking about the subject on the whole, not the particular individual.

Socialism has many problems that the theory does not address - I agree it becomes a race to the bottom because if you can't gain more for effort/hard work the only way to gain advantage is get the same as others but do less. it doesn't take into account individual will and desire or assumes...

It's fine as long as the music teacher acknowledges all forms of music and doesn't overly bang on about Beethoven. If they go around saying rap/hip-hop/grime etc isn't music then no because that's personal opinion. Similarly if the PHSE teacher goes on about homosexuality for an inordinate...

If he'd have needed an autopsy you'd really hope the report was set out in an exploded diagram. Same as last year when the IKEA bloke died - part of you really wanted a report set out in a "bone A inserts into socket B" and his coffin came flat packed.

Shipley came on as a sub last game though didn't he? Meyler will come in for Westbrooke I reckon (possibly Wakefield but he should offer something different attacking wise) I agree about those three being the key midfielders, but how to fit them in? Play two-up top (as I think we should)...
