Would you notice the staring, the leering, the letching? If men are stared at they are likely to take it as a compliment, they are suddenly George Clooney. Women are more likely to feel...

Even that isn't straightforward tho BFP. Is the trans colleague genuine trans or a manipulative individual gaining access to women's safe spaces? How would you safeguard both parties - separate the...

Fair call that I do pick things apart, but not to be negative - to find a solution, nibble away at the problems. Otherwise we only get as far as political soundbites with no practical solutions. I...

Friends n family include plods, social workers, psychologist and a prison officer (governor grade). We've chatted before about this. I have also chatted with prison educators at a Cat B prison (all...

Maybe. And I confess, I did fall into the mindset of old school NS. Actually, the Swedes have a type of NS - I met a young guy who is trained in riot policing (training was 3 months or so and he's...

For those thinking of National Service - what are you going with the people you conscript? The military is lean these days, very efficient and relies on dedicated professionals. The battlefield is...

You know that collective narcissim I mentioned ......... this idea that your viewpoint is correct and that others are voting against their own interests is a perfect example.

For the record, I...

Oh, for that balance! You describe democratic socialism, an adaptation of capitalism which works well in many European countries (notably the happier ones). It has 'socialism' in its title which...

Remember children - don't drink and type!

'Not a single Tory gave' ..... Really? Not one of the millions cares about antisemitism?

As for antisemitism being 'a load of cobblers' (and to add to 1961's response), Christian, Muslim and Hindu...

So, is state-controlled internet provision a good idea?

Scientists have been 'scrambling' for years Tarqs - any advances are years behind where they should be after projects were shut-down and abandoned due to protests about GM crops. I'd wager many of...

Nordic countries aren't socialist - they are full-on devotees (and beneficiaries) of free-market capitalism. The best you could claim is compassionate capitalism. The filthy capitalists make the...

When did the EU take Dyson to court, and what for?

Driller, if an EU army is never going to/cannot possibly happen then why is it pursued at great cost to the EU taxpayer? I recall that we had this chat about TTIP which only died because Trump...

I'd like to see away fans acknowledged with applause - seriously. I think it happened against Oxford City and the gesture was appreciated. All bets are off at home though - Swansea, for instance,...

Sorry BFP, when you asked 'What are the EUs restrictions on borrowing and what rules apply to the UK that don’t apply to France or Germany? As far as I can see, Corbyn can do what he likes with the...

Wow you are feisty! But wrong re my conclusion. I made the point that I was surprised at the level of detailed knowledge of many Remainers when making such a long-term decision. I didn't say and...

A red! - friend of the family giving mum a break by getting me out of the house (boy, was I hard work!). His wife made him take me under duress as F'word were away. She found out about 25 years...

Indeed. If Greece had voted to leave how much froth would there have been?

Not all, no. Obviously 17+ million people will have differing reasons. Most people I know who voted Leave just don't want a fully-federal Europe.

But I am suggesting that many who voted Remain...

Picture this: Merkel goes and a coalition is formed with AfD as the power-broker, Macron out and Le Pen or Melenchon in, Italy continuing its belligerence, the Visegrad 4 growing bolder against the...

But it has got people more energised in politics - in the whole of the EU - which can only be a good thing. The little people don't have the power of money, but they have the power of the vote which...

Firstly, apologies for the tone of my previous to you (bad day!)

I do find it odd just how many Remainers are so in the dark about the inner workings of the EU. It is claimed that Leavers had no...

I assume this a joke? Maybe a test?

Labour needs a lot of cash for their re-nationalisation programme. They plan to borrow to fund that programme. That borrowing will breach the EU's...
