Ever heard of Google? https://www.erasmusplus.org.uk/brexit-update The Erasmus situation is a typical example of howpeople only look for politics to enrich their own bias. Erasmus has never been based on EU membership, so why should it be tied to it? The scheme isn't tied to Brexit and is a separat...

It's easier for the myraid teams to learn English than it is for refs to cover the plurality of languages that might be required. I do think that refs should make more of an effort to be simple and concise in their instructions when reffing teams for whom English is a second language. Owens is a gr...

I can accept, as a LD, that moving away from the Ref result was a mistake. It was all about how a further referendum was framed. Just to disregard it was certainly an error. Betrayal etc. Polls showed people favourable enough to a deal negotiated v remain (and also v no deal) and how do we all see t...

Well, it's one debate that can be put to bed now. People are going to be able to judge for themselves over the next 2 or 3 years as to whether Brexit was a good idea, rather than bickering over whether to leave or not. I actually think Brexit opinion won't change over a few years. Many of the reaso...

I'm just skim reading so may well have the wrong end of the stick - hey that shouldn't stop anyone typing shit- but assume eldan refers specifically to referendum polling not leave remain. It wasn't as definitive as he makes out, but wheras leave or remain polling tended to be remain, "should there...

Scots are terribly over-represented in Parliamentary seats.

But back to the point on the subject of regional under - representation, it is in fact "Professor" Alice Roberts and before anyone complains about Rule 1 being ignored:

As a France fan, I have seen many situations where players have visibly not understood what they are being penalised for. I have also seen friendly banter between anglophone players and referees that enables a pragmatic captain especially to have an edge in referee management. It isn't always fair. ...

Early Lievremont was certainly exciting after the effective but rather stale Bernie era.

I am excited once again!

This year is surely one in which to cast aside, renew, experiment and begin to nurture and test youth.

I used to love stubble burning till environmental concerns intervened.

Be that as it may, there were also apparently less deaths through violence. Since 1945, we have likely seen the safest time to ever be a human. Well not if you're a Tutsi, Rohingya or even an Iranian. Statistically speaking probably still. Towny's link was quite informative although this is some fo...

It isn’t a feeling, it’s an absolute fact that the 20th century was safer than any time previously even with the WW’s That's correct. The reason for that is vaccination.

I argue this because it’s ignored that we live in a time of peace and prosperity if compared to any time in human history and it the opposite is constantly presented. Maybe not so much in the 3rd world. Yep. Even there. And less people as a % live in the 3rd world. I know that this is counterintuit...

Conflict was born as soon as oil was discovered in the Middle East but the threat to nationalise the oil industry in Persia preceded and caused American interference and support of the Shah. By that argument there's no start to any conflict. The overthrow of a democratically elected government by a...
