Give a fucking rest.

I'd like to see the English rugby team watch the Haka then respond with a Morris dance. It's traditional, innit?

Will all those tactics work for the common man? No one else has ever been charged with these *crimes*.. so common man wouldn't have needed any tactics. They were specific to Trump to prevent him running for POTUS. If the phrase "Trumped up charges" didn't already exist it would need to be...

... You would not believe the ridiculous complexity of the rules and calculations, just to show show that I don't actually owe the man any money at all. Yes I would. The rules are written by lawyers and tax accountants. If they made them so that just anybody could understand them they and their col...

No, no, no. I didn't say you're young, you're definitely old, just not as old as I am.

I think if I didn't have hope that people could be educated ( not even all people, just some, or maybe more than some ) then I wouldn't want to be here. You're arguing over nothing. My point is that you can't educate (regulate, legislate) the badness out of all people. Your point is that you can ed...

... Green energy is very green indeed, but best get used to the lights going off when it is dull, cloudy and with no wind to speak of, and that is typical in winter with a well established high pressure over the UK.

Have any immigrants asked for dogs to be banned? The report was submitted by environmental group Climate Cymru BAME. It says that during one of its focus groups, "one black African female stated that she feels unsafe with the presence of dogs". How much more evidence do you need that dogs...

Dog-free zones needed in parks to tackle racism, Welsh government told

I wonder what the reason is. There is no mention of the religion of peace in the article so it's obviously not that.

If this wasn't such a serious topic and one that will affect the UK, you might almost think that the Donald is basically taking the piss out of the Mercan people and the world with his ludicrous choices. That said, they're not in post yet. Well, he must be doing something right, he's annoying all t...

What we have is a form of PR, just further down the scale than some would like. The extreme other end is where every law change is subject to a referendum, so different parties will just pick the version they think will benefit them most. I fail to see anything proportional in our FPTP system. Refo...
