If we had better politicians and less partisan political stances they'd actually be much better. Otherwise we get massive swings all the time. Labour - increase spending due to chronic underinvestment beforehand followed by huge cuts by Tories to counter overspending. A sensible hung parliament...

The whole point of the average is to even out those who have high percentage rises and those who have none at all. Those in economics use it as it tends to paint a better overall picture than reality because often the high raises occur for those in better paid jobs whereas the lower paid get...

That was the wierdest game I've seen IMO. I thought overall we played excellently that day and absolutely battered them (as we did in the second leg - was that the Eakin Dan! Dan! game?) and to lose at all would've been galling. To lose 3-0 was just inexplicable. I left that game shell-shocked...

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...

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...

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...

With the drink driving convictions he'll fit right in!

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.

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"

Stephen Hughes

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