    What percentage of professional women athletes do you think want to see the separate women’s category abolished?

    There’s maybe a case for abolishing men’s only categories, and turning that into...
  2. Radical thought: isn’t there a good case for...

    Radical thought: isn’t there a good case for sticking to board rules and avoiding insults altogether?

    They almost never move the discussion on in a constructive way, and I think in most cases...

    Yes. Of course, a fair number of UK politicians say gross and unpleasant things. But for me, the ultimate test is the legislation passed, the way it’s enforced, and the general climate in society.

    Basically that system (making speeding fine proportionate to earnings) has been in force in UKfor a long time.

    Also, a speed awareness course is often offered to first time offenders, rather than...

    Neither of the things you quote were new laws passed in Parliament, both were guidance documents. One indicated thar schools had a responsibility to consult parents when children wanted to change...

    What legislation has UK government posted in last 10 years that is aimed at making life of trans kids tougher?

    Compared to large majority of countries UK legal framework distinctly enlightened.
  7. If there’s no significant danger of him fleeing...

    If there’s no significant danger of him fleeing (and I agree there’s not) AND the court believes he has reasonable grounds for appeal (clearly it does because the appeal has been allowed) then it...

    I would reply to more of your posts if you did not habitually make them multi-long epics that reference and reply to many posters comments in one portmanteau posting. It makes it harder to spot that...

    For first time in months read a few fiction books…the Washington Poe series by M W Craven. (“The Puppet Show”, “Black Summer”, “The Curator”, “The Dead Ground” and “The Botanist”.)

    It’s about an...

    Must admit I think it’s a reasonable decision. He (Trump) is obviously a terrible person, but he’s not a flight risk.

    I think it’s significant that even at the lower amount no one thinks his...

    I suppose if his recent “diet” (think most assume some sort of pill?) continues to work it might be choice between large and extra large.


    Knowing the Donald he’d pick extra large, to ensure he...

    Wow, a virtual reality trip around RFK’s mind would be an interesting journey.

    “Turn right at foot of Mount Delusion, walk forward 300 yards, you will then enter Boulevard of Lost Dreams…”

    There have certainly been cases in UK where people have been deeply, deeply upset when embryos have been accidentally destroyed.

    Honestly, I think most people can readily and easily empathise with...
  14. As I’ve suggested before I don’t think the Donald...

    As I’ve suggested before I don’t think the Donald has enough “money” to pay the various damages already awarded against him.

    He certainly hasn’t got enough cash, no way near. And who knows the...

    One of those many areas of life where I’m a complete duff, alas….so envy that part of your childhood, though will admit I’m very lucky to have many happy memories of mum and dad.
  16. I wish I’d been “conditioned” like you into...

    I wish I’d been “conditioned” like you into fluency in a different language.
  17. Can’t remember the details…but one of the richer...

    Can’t remember the details…but one of the richer members of Tory Government (that is, very rich indeed) was looking to project a more “Mary Average” image, so got advice to get some PR shots of her...

    US politics constantly surprises me.

    But I’m going to make a prediction. And just for once “put my money where my mouth is”.

    Here goes: there is no way that “Team Trump” can win that one. To...
  19. Given all the circumstances I do not see how any...

    Given all the circumstances I do not see how any fair judge on the Supreme Court could give any other ruling. The failure (in this case at least) lies elswhere…he needed to be prosecuted in a...
  20. She has announced the end of the campaign. And...

    She has announced the end of the campaign.

    And none of that featured in the speech.
  21. Of course, I don’t take it personally. I’m...

    Of course, I don’t take it personally.

    I’m simply making a different prediction to yours.
  22. I don’t think she will swear fealty to the Donald...

    I don’t think she will swear fealty to the Donald unless he gives her sometime she wants presumably the Vice-Presidency.

    (There’s absolutely no advantage to her knuckling under to the Trump unless...

    Hilary was desperately unlucky I think....for example, the timing of the sudden illness (that stopped her campaigning for a couple of days) near voting day almost certainly cost her dearly.
  24. It was a 9-0 ruling, and the ruling I think large...

    It was a 9-0 ruling, and the ruling I think large majority of people were expecting. Realistically I think it was so fast because it was a clear cut correct decision rather than the judges wanting to...
  25. I supposed what I’m about to moan about is...

    I supposed what I’m about to moan about is “politics”, although a trivial aspect of it…

    Prince Harry gets increasingly irritating…for a guy who wants to lead a “normal” life in America, he seems...
