    Trump is here

    I agree entirely on him refusing to go to the state dinner etc. and that the problem of anti-Semitism in his party he should be doing more and being more vocal on the issue. However, it does seem to be that this is being far more heavily focused on in the media than similar issues in other...

    Trump is here

    As much as Trump is a vile human being doesn't have the intelligence to run a school fete, he is (somehow) the elected leader of a democratic nation and should be treated as such by our representatives. However, this thing about trade and being an ally, his speech (and those of many of the...

    Rules you would change

    Maybe make it that there is no break in play to do it, like line changes in ice hockey. So while you're making the change it's not wasting time and you could have a player out of position for a short time.

    Spice Girls

    If some of things being suggested are true, like opening the gates and not checking bags, then that's seriously dangerous and needs enquiries made . But a lot of the complaints on queues etc aren't new - they've been the same since it opened and even occurred with big crowds at HR at times, esp...

    Robins or the Ricoh ?

    Normally, I'd be of the persuasion that the manager is replaceable as whenever we have the discussion as to whether we should let him go when another team come calling, we end up saying no and foregoing compensation for him and then six months later we're on the slide and sacking them, resulting...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree that I don't like the way the EU is run. But the UK government is hardly much better. Mainly run for those with wealth, power and influence and favouring their mates and associates. We get no say in appointments to the second house of parliament. We don't even get to choose the PM -...

    Any business minded people who can help/give advice?

    Not having a property to sell to help fund is a big setback, and the businessplan is essential. Would you just be choosing to leave your job or is it due to potential redundancy and there would therefore be come sort of redundancy payment which could help a little? I'm assuming you've no...

    Any business minded people who can help/give advice?

    If you're looking at the properties as a business venture rather than a home then your ability to raise a bigger mortgage might be improved. What condition are the properties in - would you be able to open up pretty much straight away or would it need work and the money you need also have to...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I find this very confusing. Who is 'bigging up' the benefits of WTO and hard borders? If you're referring to me, I'm not 'bigging them up' and certainly don't see any benefits to them - I think they'd be terrible. I'm stating those are the realities of what is likely to happen as the only...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm not arguing that the Scottish independence movement is full of inconsistencies in being anti-UK but wanting to stay in the EU. It wasn't long ago Salmond et al were saying they'd reject the pound and take the Euro. Then the Euro crashed and suddenly they wanted to keep the pound. If after...

    They'd desire it but if Westminster took back central control they wouldn't be allowed to - Britain wouldn't let them.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    And if it did do that what do you think would happen? If that happened Scottish independent movement would pretty much take over and would spread to wales. With central policy no right to vote for independence in a referendum would lead to direct action and quite possibly a terrorist...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    it was facetious comment based on the post I was replying too. The principle is the same. Do English people pay taxes because they want to see the Scots get free prescriptions while they don't? I very much doubt it, but the legal framework that has been set up and agreed to by the member nations...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    What is a superfluous job? Let's get rid of football and all sports people - that's superfluous and has no actual use. Same with all fiction writers, TV, theatre, art. Even manual stuff like gardeners are superfluous - we don't NEED to manicure our green spaces and it would be far better...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Money raised in the EU mainly goes to those in the EU. How that money is raised is different but it is done so in a way that those member states have agreed with via a budget. It's the same argument, just changing the scale. And actually, Scots, Welsh and NI get a say in issues that only...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    English money gets redistributed to Scotland and Wales. English people don't get a say in how those governments/assemblies spend it. Other UK countries get free prescriptions, England doesn't, despite paying in the most.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    UK exists because its member states choose to be part of it and therefore have to pay into it. EU exists because member states choose to be part of it and therefore have to pay into it. If anything UK is less democratic because some of its member states were initially forced into it through...

    Actually the manufacturing industry has done that itself by happily moving abroad for cheaper costs and financial help, aided by a British government focusing heavily on a service based and finance economy and not supporting British manufacturing.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Britain(UK) doesn't have any money of its own. It steals it from taxpayers of its member states England, Scotland, Wales and NI.

    'Champions' League Final.

    He shouldn't have played from the start after the injury - Moura should've. We've seen consistently at the start of a season he's slow to get into his stride after a break. But Kane is one of the most natural centre forwards out there with an ability in front of goal few can match and you just...
