    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If I was them I’d want to wait until after the by elections. If the polling is correct and they lost Wakefield surely there’s no chance of him winning a confidence vote

    That time I mentioned when i was taken to Buckingham palace was ‘to see the queen’…silly I know but that sums it up. I’m just saying the royal family will play a far larger role in tourism to this country than the base numbers you’ve provided

    It’s impossible to tell BSB. That’s what I was alluding to earlier. You can only calculate direct revenue but not the many intangibles. The amount that come over and walk past the sites etc (I remember being taken to stand outside Buckingham palace as a kid). Even such things as people from...

    Very…and the fact it’s happened at lords and he got to 100 at the same time as 10,000

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The UN should’ve been involved in this side of it by now. Not necessarily to protect us from inflationary increases, more places in Africa that are going to starve. An absolute disgrace

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

    I agree with the Get Brexit done point because everyone was sick of the stalemate in parliament. Still a disgrace. However, I think most people would prefer a practical/flexible Brexit rather than one based more on the ideological extreme of the minority. Like many Remainers would’ve been better...

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

    I’m not sure many are though, other than the very narrow part of the Conservative party and the nutters who wanted the hardest Brexit possible

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

    Of course they’d say that. Rather than them being greedy, laying off rather than retaining and paying furlough balance. It’s funny they didn’t mention that when they were begging the government to fully reopen air travel ?! Like a lot of things, of course brexit hasn’t helped/made it worse but...

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

    Agree with this. There has been minimal planning, acknowledgment or addressing many of the issues. There’s no excuse for this 6 years after the vote.

    So chuffed for Root. A great bloke and amazing player. Also pleased for Foakes who's obviously the best wk but needs to prove it with the bat. Very good win this for England….almost dull finish….very unEngland !

    The point about heads of state is to be careful what you wish for. We currently have a monarchy that appears focussed on duty and service (I wouldn’t swap places, palaces or not !), a lot of that probably comes from the hereditary nature and there’s no certainty it would be the same with an...

    Nightmare getting out red car park on Friday, traffic controls were a shambles ! Had a great day though, Kasabian and Liam Gallagher nailed it. Saw no trouble either which was nice to see/unexpected in current times !

    I think a slimmed down monarchy is the way forward. The country won’t put up with freeloaders like Andrew any more It’s easy to bring the argument back to hereditary unfairness but that exists without the monarchy, here and around the world and will never change. Anti-royalists/republicans will...

    Agree with both comments but as I was saying both had played some nice shots. They need to somehow find a way to get our batsmen to calm down a bit when they’re out in the middle

    You started with the comparison…I just replied. They are obviously very different situations. My point regarding VDL was responding to your comment that people get appointed on merit
