    I get your point and yes there are circumstances whereby tax cuts can help a business that may be looking to expand (not due to profit but it improves cashflow as they don't have to have as much liquidity in reserve for the tax bill). But that expansion will be determined predominantly by market...

    Gael biggy

    Bigi was our academy version of Stephen Hughes and Sideways Sammy. Looked tidy because they never took risks. Foot on the ball and then pass sideways or backwards. They all massively stifled the attacking capabilities of the team by giving the opposition the chance to reorganise and get into...

    Keogh

    But that isn't the reason they've stated for sacking him. If that is the case all three have to be dismissed. On those grounds there is far more reason to sack the other two. Also, if he can prove that they offered him a reduced deal and then sacked him after he refused the reason given isn't...

    Far too many people make decisions based solely on their perception of the leader. They look upon it more like a presidential election than a parliamentary one. I think the good thing about the PM role is that they are effectively just a manager of those in the house and thus any power they...

    No, because they'd need your to know your metabolic rate. They'd also need to know of any health problems/issues you have or will have in the next decade. They'd need to know how much exercise you're going to do for the next 10 years. They'd have to know that their menu wouldn't be altered in...

    I agree that there are clearly elements of Labour that are anti-semitic (though there are also those in the Tory party, just as I'd have thought there will be a small number in Labour who are Islamophobic) but I think in the main it's more a criticism of Israel and their actions in the region, a...

    Business tax cuts do very little, if nothing, for job creation. Kansas in the US abolished business taxes saying it would lead to huge job creation. It didn't. It created none. When asked why the employers said "I've got as many workers as I need so why would I spend money employing people I...

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

    Arguably not. But I do feel he's a better person to lead it than Alexander. With Corbyn I do feel he would genuinely want to do things he felt were to the benefit of the country, even if I think some of his ideology to achieve it is flawed, and there is the fear of the unions trying to muscle in...

    Psuedoracism. Moonlight is too intrinsically linked with the dark.

    The Book of Mormon

    Does sound like Parker and Stone. Think they did a South Park episode around this very premise as well.

    You were both too slow!

    Moonlight was OK but apparently got some stick and people were asked not to blame him. However those same people did try to make Boogie their scapegoat which I felt was unfair.. EDIT: Turns out I was mishearing them. They were in fact saying 'blame it on the Burgey"

    The Book of Mormon

    Had a look and there was a Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 which was done by a Mormon militia. I was more talking about the gold plates that Joseph Smith 'found' and 'translated' through his hat, even though when he was asked to translate them a second time the translation was slightly...

    I think the defence would be they were offered club transport home when the function ended but declined it to go elsewhere. But the decision to not sack the two main culprits will indeed be used against them.

    The Book of Mormon

    The Mormon back story is about as mad as that invented by L. Ron Hubbard.

    That is always a risk and some might argue rather hopeful or even naive of me. In mine I'd like to think it is accounted for slightly with scores for the leader/candidate but again you could quite like those individuals but felt the party as a whole was untrustworthy. There never will be a...

    Best goalkeeper in recent years

    But until the Pep/tiki taka era it was never really a consideration for a keeper. I'd argue it has arguably gone too far the other way now and the ability to play the ball is given higher consideration than goalkeeping ability. Sort of understandable at the top teamswho don't need to defend as...

    I did. I have to admit that being in a Labour stronghold did mean I didn't need to consider a tactical vote so I went with the analysis. I do also try to take into account what manifesto's DON'T say. That was why the Con one last time didn't score well - it was just obvious that stuff that was...
