    Secret life of prisons

    I've read that article before and there's a lot agree with. I've always been of the opinion that people go to prison as punishment and while there they should be rehabilitated. Some people find that unpalatable but they might end up in your community once they've served their time, so what type...

    Well they were presented with a 50,000 page petition about their bias against Jeremy Corbyn which even Nick Robinson endorsed! Some left wing organisation that! Though I think you're right, it is generally fairly impartial.

    so why didn't they put that on the side of a bus?

    as I said, it depends how right wing your perspective is. It's left wing compared to say Fox news.

    with regard to your statement in bold, if you're talking about Brexit i think you're wrong, if you're talking about Trump. as I said, you may have a point. However, I think once billionaire property developer Trump selects his first cabinet we will be able to put to bed the notion that he is...

    there was a woman crying on 5live because voting leave based on the NHS lie,and then farage announced it wasn't true. I think even the terminally stupid realised that they'd been duped and most people would keep that to themselves. Of course many other people voted for may different reasons...

    if you think that the msm in this country is predominantly left wing you're insane. Sun,Star, Telegraph, Mail, Express, Sky all pro brexit and with a far greater circulation that the Guardian, the Mirror and the Independent. The Sun was happy to peddle all the big lies of the Brexit campaign...

    Leonard Cohen

    was lucky enough to see him live around 10 years ago. Sharp as a tack and great elegance about him for a man in his 70s. A true talent.

    I can understand that with Brexit because a compliant media carried the lies and there was little objection. Trump didn't have that. Certainly not to the extent of Brexit. So how did he get people on board?

    you make a very good point. I think with Brexit you can never over state the influence the main stream media had on the vote as they were almost overwhelmingly pro leave. Trumps situation was different, he had a lot of the main stream media against him but still won the election.

    He also managed to have a casino go bust on him which is a bit worrying when he's in charge of the worlds largest economy.

    I think that was the thrust of Venus's it's up to him if he wants to be a footballer comment. He's obviously got ability but there's only so far that will get you and only so much a manager can do to harness the talent.

    see this is the weird thing, I agree with a lot of the above but I disagree with so much of the other stuff you post. We probably want the same thing, we just disagree with how to achieve it. And I disagree about Trump. A man that has bankrupt 6 companies leaving a string of small businesses...

    From what I understand from watching the coverage, Clinton won Philadelphia but Trump picked up a lot of rural votes in Pennsylvania in areas with not traditionally high Republican turn out. Again, I'm not suggesting all these people are right wing, gun toting fundamentalists. Trump had a...

    well he won Florida despite a big Hispanic turn out for Clinton so he mobilised an unaccounted for vote from somewhere. There was a C4 show from a gun show if Florida and the people they were interviewing were bonkers! Now I'm not suggesting these people are anything more than a minority, and...

    it sounds like he's mobilised a section of society that don't usually vote so they probably don't realise that politicians don't actually carry out their promises. The fact that many of them are armed to the teeth is what's worrying. I am very suspicious of anyone who demands the right to...

    he's been shocking at rangers and has been a passenger from the first game he played, His footballing ability, like his intellect, is no where near the level he thinks it is. It's a no from me. (though I'd go for a pit with him),

    I'm really not sure how you interpret that from that post. I'm saying they will want some of his more out there policies implemented to the letter. This toning down, (which may or may not happen), isn't going to wash with certain people.
