    I agree with you that its very, very complex.

    Its an issue I've thought about a fair bit about over the years (much more in regard to arranged marriages rather than dress codes) without ever...

    Rob Burrow. Rugby league legend and a guy who fought his desperately cruel illness (MND) bravely. He helped to raise massive amounts of illness to help fellow suffers.

    A part of me is really sad...

    What’s your take on whether or not it’s okay in a country like UK to insist Muslims resident there have to treat women as equals?
  4. And also stressing from time to time the many...

    And also stressing from time to time the many things Trump promised but didn’t deliver. The things he pretends to be (like a true patriot) but isn’t. Poke fun at him.

    I dare say Worst Blogger Ever will be celebrating by raising a glass to the jury.

    I decided to celebrate by doing some quick sketches of some of the main players, the Donald, Stormy Daniels and...

    Skimming through reaction to guilty verdict in UK there’s a fair number of views that he will be lucky to avoid jail time after his comments on the judge and his daughter.

    It didn’t surprise about...

    Some of that (claiming some parts can only be played by people from a specific background) does go too far, I think.

    And it’s certainly one where the same person can have wildly inconsistent...

    Skimming through yesterday's Times see Nigel Farage is going to focus his efforts in next few months on helping Donald Trump could get elected rather than helping his Reform Party in UK.

    With both...

    He criticised a 9-0 ruling that was a key building brick in creating a more just society?? And is still completely unapologetic about the substantial gifts he takes?

    I (of course) understand the...

    No..not at any level that would have a measurable impact.

    Not sure how I could prove that scientifically if challenged, basically just a very strong gut feeling albeit based on some logic.

    Agree. Surprised that Sunak has called the election a few months earlier than he was forced to. I thought he might delay as much as possible hoping that something might turn up that might turn the...

    By saying “Biden does politics” are you suggesting that there is no real difference between the way Russia is conducting the war against Ukraine and the way Israel is conducting the war against...

    It’s interesting the number of people that are effectively happy to characterise the potential miscategorisation of business spend as a non crime.

    Actually it is a crime, and there’s at least 2...

    I have more respect for the predictive accuracy of polling than most people.

    On UK scene there’s certainly a fair number of cases where the polls predict one result and something else happens. But...
  15. I agree with you that it’s just about...

    I agree with you that it’s just about inconceivable that his defence would take that line.

    And pretty unlikely that Trump himself will go into the witness box?
  16. Yes. But I think the prosecution are going to...

    Yes. But I think the prosecution are going to suggest at some point (and are already implying) that micro managing means you actually understand what’s going off and are on top of the detail. Really...

    Jeez, looking at some of his evidence to date I wonder if he’s any more reliable than the Donald.

    The example, that springs to mind: when asked “Is Trump a micro-manager” he’s answered an...

    If you look at that list there’s at least 2 groups that might be converted to becoming Republican IF that party cleaned the stables by ejecting extremist representatives.

    On the other hand I...

    I think that’s a good suggestion.

    In practical terms, for example, it makes it easier for whoever has been cited to spot that one of their posts is being referred to/questioned. And then easier to...

    Well if you really want to know….”You only need to ask him in a non loaded way”. (NB “non loaded” is a T Mets trademark, registered 2023, I will be sending dollar via carrier pigeon. Scratching my...

    Even I came to that conclusion eventually…I stopped going to watch matches with my mates about 10 years ago, after I realised I was spending most of day doing crossword puzzles.

    I played a lot of rugby and cricket back in my distant youth…I suspect I’d have been hard pressed to find a club or set of team mates if I’d waited for one without the “benefit” of people with fairly...

    On a similar thread years ago some one suggested an answer for Superman that resonated with me.

    Effectively the suggestion was that the biggest change would be to Superman's circle of friends, to...

    It does vary from country to country.

    I’ve not checked recently, but certainly in UK last time I did check the socio economic group that had worst life outcomes on average was working class white...

    I could easily understand this “too old” stuff IF the alternative was an healthy person in their 30s/40’s. But compared to the Donald??
