    Racist William Shakespeare

    Is it something along the lines of the Alf Garnett argument? Is it popular because people are laughing at how stupid racists are or because people share the same views?

    All purpose cricket thread

    Pakistan v New Zealand is supposed to start in 30 minutes but the players have been told to stay in their rooms. Doesn't sound promising.

    Racist William Shakespeare

    We seem determined to go back and find issue with everything. I was watching a show from the 90s yesterday and it came up with a warning that the content would 'reflect the times'.

    End of Woke News?

    Didn't take him long to throw them under the bus. But if he feels that way then why say he will still be appearing regularly as a guest?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Now imagine the uproar if the BBC had handed Clarkson a £160m deal.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There's also an issue of funding. It's all well and good them citing the likes of Dr Who and Downtown Abbey as the type of programs they want. PSBs don't have the funding to fill the schedule with programs like that, they need the cheap crap to fill the rest of the Tim.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I can think of lots of examples of shows made by PSBs that are obviously British, nothing springs to mind that isn't. Seems like they're trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist and in a way that will be virtually impossible to define.

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

    Shouldn't we be at the stage where we're being told the success stories? Seems a bit late to be outlining potential opportunities.

    Did anything ever happen about those old tweets that someone dragged up?

    Hughton sacked...could MR be a target ?

    Why on earth would he go there? If you assume Prem clubs aren't offering jobs to Championship managers that leaves a very small number of Championship clubs where you could argue he'd be better off than being here. I could see him being tempted by someone like Stoke or Fulham but they aren't...

    Passport Control

    I get the impression that a lot of people who are complaining about data being held digitally or who has access to their data aren't really that concerned about those things. Don't recall this outcry when our NHS data was being opened up for sale to third parties for example. Seems similar to...

    On the list of issues I have with Sepalla and SISU mixing up aspiring & aspirational and Premiership & Premier League come pretty low on the list.

    Phil Upton exlusive

    Its not even that is it? Says they've spoken to her at the Warwick Uni event so not even a proper interview. Be surprised if there's any new detail about anything.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I think the issue is that its always been thought the numbers will rise in the winter. We currently have 8,413 hospitalisations compared to 843 this time last year. Same story with ICU, currently 1,056, last year 92. We need hospitalisations to be at a level where the NHS can manage them...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That's the target. If we get to something similar to what we had with H1N1, couple of weeks at home and a few pills to take, that would be a best case scenario.
