Raynor was behind the appointment of Dr Paul Williams for Hartlepool. How out of touch with your own base do you have to be to make such an error of selection?! She surely had to go.

So you agree that if a man commits horrific sexual assaults against women but says that they're a woman before sentencing then it's appropriate to send them to a women's prison? And not only that but ask for a more lenient sentence because they're now a woman and women statistically get more lenien...

Rugby has really dropped off the radar for me since the start of the pandemic. I will try to get back into it with the Lions but about as inspired and up for it as England were in the 6N.

My concern is that both leadership on the two shores of the channel are now indulging into stirring uggly nationalism as a way to distract the people from the real issues and give them someone else to hate abroad.

Haven't read the piece but I rather suspect it's full of fluffy language about work life balance and all that wholesome stuff but at the sharp end when restrictions are dropped anyone that wants to get on will struggle to do that through remote working.

I'm not a big fan of Yvette Cooper is surely she is an effective big name MP, has fans, is respected and even supported and who is competent. Yeah I am sure the red wall Labour voters will be delighted at the thought of Yvette Cooper. They will have surely forgotten the role she played in tying the...

The Conservative Government are dominating the centre ground which is why labour are struggling for traction.

After a good few years of trials and tribulations, we're going to meet our (at this point still potential) adoptive girls for the first time this weekend The entire focus has been on getting our house and lives in general ready for them, no small feat in lockdown, so I haven't actually thought what...

The focus grouping and shifting or at least pretending to shift to those positions is working for them. Johnson's lack of any real ideology and ability to shape shift works for them. The reinventions have helped hide the baggage. Starmer has more drag from Corbyn than Johnson from Cameron and May. ...

Meanwhile, seen from abroad... https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/06/uk/britain-france-war-ships-jersey-cmd-intl-gbr/index.html To me, this is a sad example of how selfishness and unwillingness to compromise and live with our neighbors can quickly degenerate in acrimony. The European ideal was a beautiful...

Part of the problem with Labour is that the Tories keep stealing their thunder so the points of difference which cut-through seem to be coming more from the fringes.

The UK will continue without Scotland. It will be a colossal challenge for the Scots given the issues around currency, the border, funding, security etc. but for the rUK nothing much will change.

40% of people wash their towels after every use? Are they not showering/bathing themselves properly? Towels don't stay soft and fluffy for long if you're using them regularly. I would assume it's a comfort factor and not that their towels look like they just wiped their arse on it - though I am rem...

I don't believe the report. I think it's just made up nonsense to garner interest. In this day and age it would be completely erroneous for people to act in such a way.

Further reflecting on the interesting court case developing, I guess this brings up another point. Usually, when you have cross-jurisdiction cases like this, the key driver for a business will be where they are exposed to local enforcement of any decision. It's where the industrial and investments ...

I’m not going to suggest the UK is in the same boat as Australia (although you are wrong in suggesting that Aus and NZ are in the middle of nowhere, did you forget about Asia?). But surely you can see that policy in the UK has been all over the place meaning people have no idea of how to react? OZ ...

Looks increasingly like the uk has already achieved herd immunity. On what basis? Look at the curves last year. Are they much different this year? Summer 2020 looked good in the UK but herd immunity had not been achieved. We have to wait a bit more before claiming victory (which I am hoping for) an...

Not really surprised to see a cabal of foreign owners looking to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest. But how are they going to fulfil their fixture list if the domestic league[s] tell them to fuck off and do one as they surely will?

Gospel

Other than the rather insurmountable issue of killing an innocent person it is far too expensive to put criminals to death. My figures are probably ten years out of date but it used to cost around $5million in the US once you factor in the appeals process et al. I believe they were trying to expedit...

I acknowledge that all politicians, nearly everywhere use their power to give mates peerages (UK) or key positions in govt or the civil service (It's rife in France for example). But this is quite different to when a politician uses public money to unfairly or without proper scrutiny enrich their m...

RIP Prince Philip. Hell of a good innings. I very much support the institution of the Monarchy as I think by sheer weight of tradition it helps to cement relations near and far. I am not emotionally invested in the participants but I can certainly respect the good works they do.

What you just concluded is that it was worth sacrificing the travel industry. So "we are not all in this together".

First, vaccine passports don't have to be permanent. They should be used in the transition phase, until we use reached herd immunity.
