Far too many people make decisions based solely on their perception of the leader. They look upon it more like a presidential election than a parliamentary one. I think the good thing about the PM role is that they are effectively just a manager of those in the house and thus any power they...

No, because they'd need your to know your metabolic rate. They'd also need to know of any health problems/issues you have or will have in the next decade. They'd need to know how much exercise you're going to do for the next 10 years. They'd have to know that their menu wouldn't be altered in...

I agree that there are clearly elements of Labour that are anti-semitic (though there are also those in the Tory party, just as I'd have thought there will be a small number in Labour who are Islamophobic) but I think in the main it's more a criticism of Israel and their actions in the region, a...

Business tax cuts do very little, if nothing, for job creation. Kansas in the US abolished business taxes saying it would lead to huge job creation. It didn't. It created none. When asked why the employers said "I've got as many workers as I need so why would I spend money employing people I...

With the drink driving convictions he'll fit right in!

Arguably not. But I do feel he's a better person to lead it than Alexander. With Corbyn I do feel he would genuinely want to do things he felt were to the benefit of the country, even if I think some of his ideology to achieve it is flawed, and there is the fear of the unions trying to muscle in...

Psuedoracism. Moonlight is too intrinsically linked with the dark.

Does sound like Parker and Stone. Think they did a South Park episode around this very premise as well.

You were both too slow!

Moonlight was OK but apparently got some stick and people were asked not to blame him. However those same people did try to make Boogie their scapegoat which I felt was unfair.. EDIT: Turns out I was mishearing them. They were in fact saying 'blame it on the Burgey"

Had a look and there was a Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 which was done by a Mormon militia. I was more talking about the gold plates that Joseph Smith 'found' and 'translated' through his hat, even though when he was asked to translate them a second time the translation was slightly...

I think the defence would be they were offered club transport home when the function ended but declined it to go elsewhere. But the decision to not sack the two main culprits will indeed be used against them.

The Mormon back story is about as mad as that invented by L. Ron Hubbard.

That is always a risk and some might argue rather hopeful or even naive of me. In mine I'd like to think it is accounted for slightly with scores for the leader/candidate but again you could quite like those individuals but felt the party as a whole was untrustworthy. There never will be a...

But until the Pep/tiki taka era it was never really a consideration for a keeper. I'd argue it has arguably gone too far the other way now and the ability to play the ball is given higher consideration than goalkeeping ability. Sort of understandable at the top teamswho don't need to defend as...

I did. I have to admit that being in a Labour stronghold did mean I didn't need to consider a tactical vote so I went with the analysis. I do also try to take into account what manifesto's DON'T say. That was why the Con one last time didn't score well - it was just obvious that stuff that was...

Although I'm probably a bit sad I go through the manifesto and look at all the policies and give each one a score out of 5. I then put them into categories like economy/jobs, education, healthcare, governance, sport/culture etc and these also get weighted out of 5 so things like economy...

Indeed the use of words like force etc does make it sound like a scare story. For me the point is do you trust or expect our government to stand up to the demands of the US, of which this is very likely to be one? On the whole I don't. On major stuff like this they'll nod their heads and...

Or the govt/parliament that ignored the requests for funding because it was too busy thinking about reducing spending everywhere than looking at why that spending is needed. They are always reactionary, not proactive. They only act WHEN the tragedy has occurred rather than heed the warnings...
