Agree that the Hobbit is relatively accessible... but it's a huge jump to LOTR

No he didn't - he made his comments in relation to May not be able to put together any semblence of a government to rule... and 2 weeks later she's not any further along. If he really was trying to use the tragedy don't you find it strange that not one of those papers that you referenced made...

Thanks for proving it has fuck all to do with Grenfell

Trying to suggest that McDonnell is whipping up a frenzy on the back of a tragedy is ridiculous. There are valid questions that need answering - would you feel the same if it was someone in your family that died? If you want to discuss agitation generally then lets just put up a compendium of...

You win a copy of his upcoming memoir entitled 'WMD - my dirty little secret'

Those bloody MCE insurance ads are awful..... first one they did was funny I think but afterwards went down hill quickly

Leon or Moussa would be good.

Tolkein's works are another example of this - his world was so expansive that you would never be able to put it all into a film unless you were looking at 20+ hours of film, but by making the films they allowed people to access the story that many never would otherwise. I think they did a...

Full-time childcare has become a part of the world we live in. And most of the time it is used for neccesity.. not beacuse a parent wants to 'dump' their child in there. The cost of it often exceeds that of a mortgage - so if you are a single parent you are faced with the choice of working and...

I agree with this entirely - especially as being part of a school that has a big push on 'enrichment' - they are lots of students that regularly miss whole days or part days for these activities... so in the grand scheme of things missing a week to spend with your family is nothing IMO.

Yes - but a lot of these schools offer full boarding... my point was that surely putting a child in a boarding school is no different to putting them in full time childcare.

I guess it is something we will never agree on then....

Which gives a nice balance to your 'keep the poor people where they belong' capitalist mantra.

Hang on... isn't this the much celebrated independent school model? Pack kids off so someone else brings them up? At least with childcare you pick them up at the end of each day... not the end of 6 weeks.

Wasn't there a case not too long ago where a parent challenged a council fine and the judge said it was unenforceable (or something to that effect)? You can see why parents do it... even if you add in the cost of a fine it's still miles cheaper than going in the holidays.

IMO the world we now live does not possess the same type of threats that it did after WWII, Cold War, Cuban Missile Crisis. Things have evolved and as such ISIS is the No.1 threat to the world. We are not going to wipe out ISIS with a nuke. To hurt ISIS we need to cut off their funding, stop...

Protested against the Iraq war - he was right. Stated in a speech several years ago that if we invaded countries like Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan that if we did not put a proper infastructure in place we (and the world in general) would suffer the consequences of this - again he was right. Not...

At least the 2 main party leaders are getting it on the same scale now. You can't complain about May getting grief when you look at the Corbyn has been vilified. Difference is Corbyn never resorted to vicious personal insults.... that was literally May's only gameplan.

For the few it would appear over the last 7 years.
