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...

It's where the term 'lunatics" comes from. Maybe there is some basis in terms of gravitational pull and given we're largely made of water it does have an effect on us. No idea if there's any scientific merit in that though.

With the Trump rally with him using quotes to highlight how much the Congresswoman hated America resulting in the chanting: There are numerous examples of Trump being critical of America, especially during the Obama era - would he be classified as 'hating America' especially by his fanbase? I...

I've no problem with players being the main beneficiaries of vastly overinflated revenues. Agents and directors I've very much got a problem with. The only reason I care is that it can't last forever and when it does loads of clubs will go to the wall and the people most affected will be the...

The 'cap on aspiration' is another term used by the rich - apart from a few far left nutters it's no such thing. It's not a 'cap' on anything - most people aren't saying "you can only earn £x per year max or have £x in assets". They're just saying that society is giving you the opportunity to...

It's interesting you work in renewable energy - it's an industry I really feel that the country should be getting behind and providing help for for any number of reasons, especially environmental and reducing energy dependancy on other nations which means we allow them to get away with some...

The point with the tax was it provides much less opportunity for the black market than a ban would. Obviously it gives them more opportunity than low taxation. The thing for me is the trade off between providing for the problems it causes. With the consumption thing with things like alcohol...

That's an idea. We don't buy him, Brum don't buy him, St Andrews buys him. He then has to play for whichever team is playing at St Andrews Ofcourse if we moved back we'd be screwed.

Fair play to you for fixing it for free. There are people who do become philanthropic, but it's much easier to be philanthropic when you've made it and can afford to be. It's how they've acted on the way up that's of particular interest to me. I often wonder if it's essentially guilt over stuff...

I'm not sure why you've picked up so heavily on the tax thing given the other points I made. I certainly didn't mention the UK having a regressive tax system, although it has given me some flashbacks on tax theory lectures and the pros and cons of a tax free allowance and incremental tax rates...

In a modern society people should be allowed to cling to phallacies if they want.

One small step for man, one giant leap for manhood
