The Financial Times reports on what's described as a "culture war" being waged by the government on Britain's cultural institutions. According to the paper, Sir Charles Dunstone, the founder of Carphone Warehouse, has left his role at the Royal Museums Greenwich after ministers refused to re-appoin...

We've national form for this Apparently in the middle ages it was considered more godly not to wash, I read somewhere that Thomas a Becket needed to have his clothes cut off him as they were so manky. It's quite a thought. Never washing, close proximity to farmyard animals and their discharges, man...

He is the only choice as tour captain

Farrell shouldn't be in the squad as a flyhalf and certainly not as captain.

I just don't understand that 2nd half. They were excellent in the 1st half Leicesters pack figured out after 35 minutes that they had Ulster on toast if they kept it tight.

The extreme right-wing is becoming an increasing problem in this country, not helped by the disturbing lurch to the right the country has undergone with the most recent Tory government. This is f ucking nonsense , the country has far less racism than at any previous time. And a government that is l...

I agree. On the other hand the tolerance of intolerance of certain behaviours due to not offending some Muslims in certain bits of the left wing is irritating.

I am reading that the UK health authority has suddenly discovered another 41 deaths by very rare blood clots, to be added to the previous official number of 9. And apparently they are still counting... This, after they decide to order Pfizer for the next winter campaign. Mmm.... A massive 0.00018%.

It may not end up being an all or nothing judgement, it could well be that the Belgian court would recognize that AZ overcommitted (perhaps over-estimating their capacity to ramp up production) but is favoring the UK over the EU, and order a rebalance of the deliveries (which, by now, may be easily...
