it's far too easy to criticise people in this situation and forget the extraordinary circumstances the police were reacting to, they were under orders to shoot to kill and had just had terrorist attacks perpetrated by men on tubes with backpacks. Hindsight is great, we can look and point and say "yo...

It's funny BUT in my eyes its a lot worse than the other two recently lambasted comedians did. I expect mass hysteria and his resignation by friday. An interesting quandry for the Mail though, Clarkson has outraged the public (no doubt) yet he's as racist as the Mail is, so will they go for the thr...

Re: Dumb and dumber?
A number of local councils in Britain have banned their staff from using Latin words, because they say they might confuse people. Several local authorities have ruled that phrases like "vice versa", "pro rata", and even "via" should not be used, in speech or in writing.But the ban has prompted ange...

The most bizarre reffing I've seen in ages. The first goal should have stood, and it wasn't a pen. The second goal was a screaming header, and should have stood. Comedy reffing. In my view he was right about the first "goal". When you watch the replay he had clearly blown for the penalty before the...

Sundowners Space City Cinderella/ Rockerfella's or Ritzy Pink Panthers I went to all these at various times in my youth. I also remember the occasional foray to Silverwell Street rock disco and some great nights in Rock City. Riddle me this, though. There was a club (briefly) upstairs on the corner...

Commie you are insufferable; for goodness' sake let it drop. Tango needs the patience of a saint not to simply tell you to feck off. a saint? someone given a position of status on an arbitrary basis by a group equally as misguided? hmmm someone suggested the voting could be based on race. I've sugg...

again you've dismissed race as a possibility. As for evidence I've given more for the idea that it could be an issue than you have to adopt your dismissive position. Remind us again of the scores that week. You see, unlike you , I have an open mind about the possibilities, I base my judgements on ev...
