Wouldn't disagree with that. Though there are currently state owned foreign rail and utility companies who are so successfully that not only are they profitable, but they invest their profits in our privacy owned rail and utility companies and take dividends from them. You would have thought the...

Discovered a good podcast about diet and food in general called the Food Medic. Different food related topic discussed with a different guest each week. Found it really interesting.

East coast has been state run in the last few years. I dont think getting them under state control is so much the issue, it's running them profitably.

No, they said the would do it as current franchise ran out, that was in the manifesto but McDonnell said he would look if it was plausible to do it in 5 years using break clauses. It wasn't a commitment.

Correct. As long as they let the current franchises expire. The royal mail wouldn't cost a great deal either, it's the utilities that would cost a fortune.

Yes you are, it's your default position!

gutted for him that he's got to end his career early but his health is more important. Hopefully he can get the help he needs and who knows, maybe resume playing at some point.

I see your point, but I understand the ambiguity, not just from Corbyn but others. Boris the other day continually mentioned that he wanted a deal but was prepared for no deal just to try and placate both sides of his party. If they nail their colours firmly to a particular Brexit mast they risk...

On this thread I said if he implements half of what he says he will I'll take my hat off to him- that's Tory bashing in your world? You're too negative Baz! As for renationalisation, it was done to death on another thread but it's a bit more of a complex issue than the cost. You do realise...

I'm not questioning his policies I'm questioning how he's going to pay for them. He cannot pay for them with positivity no matter how many times everyone repeats the word. He is the incumbent PM, whataboutery about Labour is irrelevant, and you are making yourself look foolish going on about...

For those of us staying in the UK, looks like the weather turns a bit next week. Still be hot but wetter. Make sure you pack those playing cards and board games!

Well he didn't come out and get behind remain unequivocally. Same as Boris said repeatedly we don't one no deal when he has assembled a hard Brexit cabinet. Would be more trouble than it's worth in their own.parties for either of them to nail their colours to those particular masts at the moment.

There was nothing wrong with what Corbyn said but his delivery is so flat. He's tried to move away from this vicious style of political debate but it's not working. He should have anticipated Johnson making a comment about him changing position on the EU, which was quite funny to be honest...

You didn't hear what Corbyn said did you? He said he would back remain over a no deal. Not quite the same thing, many will consider it fence sitting and weak leadership, others will think that's the right to do while they see if Boris's tenure goes as badly as some our predicting. Why split his...

Sorry you've lost me?

Just watched this. Without getting into a another political debate about Brexit or trump has anyone watched this and thought about being a bit more particular about their on line activity or thought of trying to be a bit more 'off grid'?

Perhaps there are better examples but my response was to your reply about people being negative. Boris reeled of a (costly) list today of things he's going to do but did not mention once how it's going to be paid for. Asking that question isn't being negative, it's being sensible. Anyone who...

Have you priced up a Euro camp type holiday somewhere drivable like Holland or Brittany? I've not done it myself, (mainly due to hating driving for more than a couple of hours), but I believe there's some good deals to be had.

I was talking about his woeful tenure as England manager when people wanted him because of his passion and enthusiasm when really it's nous and know how and a credible plan that's needed, and that appears to be your attitude towards Boris. As for Keegans time at Newcastle, he spent millions of...

Better than I expected
