And until the HRA was codified, where were human rights in English Common Law let alone "ancient traditions"? They weren't. Aren't you shooting down your own argument here, you were claiming ancient traditions would suffice, now you've shifted to the HRA. Basically, it seems to me you're saying...

Our "ancient traditions" do not incorporate human rights as such. Just a limited concept of habeas corpus, trial by peers, and protection against the monarch. (A brief history of this is linked to below, if you're interested). Quite clearly then, "ancient tradition" cannot replace codified...

Start with Simms up front, and take it from there. 😁

Have you seen that Christopher Nolan film, Memento, where the protagonist has lost the ability to form new memories and has to tattoo important information onto himself? I'm getting a bit like that now. I think I need something tattooed on the back of my hand like, "You've left your glasses in...

The alternate version is... Hitler, has only got one ball, Goering's, got two but very small, Himmler, has something similar, But poor old Goebbels, has no balls, at all. How does this stuff stay in your head?! Anyhow, turns out that the song was probably correct...

There's a lot of truth there, so fair play for your honesty (though I think even then we knew the P word was wrong, and I don't remember that one being thrown around too much at school at least). I think the point was that Farage is accused of directing this sort of stuff at individuals, by...

Erm, me and Farage are about the same age. This wasn't stuff he was saying when he was ten, it was in his late teens. So closer to forty years ago. Mid to late 1980s. And yes, things were different then, but we didn't go around singing Hitler was right or telling Jewish kids that there weren't...

Given our top and middle order have taken to playing their cricket shots like they're driving off the first tee at the Belfry, maybe it's good practice.

Can't beat a traditional name, though for some reason my son isn't keen on Æthelred these days. Says his teachers find it hard to spell. His sister, Æthelflæd, never complained...

Great way to start the day. I hope all three of you are doing well, from memory it's all a bit of a whirlwind. Go out and grab all of today's newspapers now, or get one of the family to do it. Always a bit of a memento when they get old enough to appreciate it. You've just moved from being...

Certainly impressed me there. Can't really picture someone like Chris Wilder behaving like that. Makes a refreshing change. In fairness, they had us on the back foot for a while there....

Ryan Mason, to his credit, not whining about the sending off, blames the player for losing his discipline. Unusual that, from a manager.

Fuck it, I'm calling it now. We are definitely staying up. 😁

Bit scary that one. EMC and JDS had relatively poor games, imho, but the team pulled together and Simms got properly stuck in. Chuffed to bits with the result regardless, we're flying, loving it!

Great that we're back in it, but EMC hasn't had a great game. Always goes the same way, onto his right, always seems to slow the break down. Really frustrating to watch sometimes. Hell though, we're winning!

Such lazy defending. Shockingly bad. Embarrassing.

Fucking around at the back. Too many players thinking they can coast on the ball. Lose the hunger, lose the game. At least we're waking up a bit now.

So they've apologised for that. The question you really want to ask yourself, is whether it's unfair of the BBC to portray Trump as someone who tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election? As to the bias thing, is it possible that this isn't really about BBC bias, it's about...

And it's not in any way difficult to find a well researched article that makes exactly the opposite case. https://learningonscreen.ac.uk/viewfinder/articles/myth-of-the-bbc/ The Panorama edit was obviously wrong, and it's been apologised for and publicly corrected. Back to the facts then. Is...

It's easily resolved. Reverse the appointment, and reselect from candidates who can be seen as genuinely independent. Of course, that won't happen, and it's more grist to the mill for those who think politicians are all the same. More evidence that Starmer is an absolute fucking disaster as a...
