Here's another conundrum.

What if you and I find it racist, but a Chinese person finds it funny?

I'm not trying to be obtuse, just pointing out there are lots of grey areas in this debate.

In Kenya, it is quite common for for young Kenyans these days to make fun of Nigerians including ...

I can accept that ignorance can prevent something being racist, and merely reduce it to offensive. It's a matter of education. I'm educated enough to be fully aware that my suggestion above is completely fucking racist. If someone had actively pointed out the fact that it's offensive to a ...

The GLP page that tweet links to is about a challenge to the levelling up fund. Whatever one thinks of the fund, opposing it as an alleged means of benefiting Tory interests is about as nakedly a political challenge as it’s possible to get: “ …but we think it’s just a way to funnel money into ...

“ Why's he a joke?”

Because his crowd-funded legal actions keep failing.

I know you know it's not just about the wins - which they do get, as it happens. Michael Gove being found to have broken the law. The PPE procurement case. Parliament needing to have a say on Article 50. Other more ...

Governments (and local councils) that waste taxpayers’ money should be caned. That’s what the NAO and the PAC, among others, are for. But political waste is a regrettable consequence of public funding for the purposes of governing.

The GLP is just putting out the begging bowl.

What you are ...

"I stand squarely behind my decision".

"This did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated", followed by some facts about the Afghanistan government and armed forces, and some information about the military support the US gave to the govt forces.

Sounds fair to me.

I can't remember ...

It's not free.....but you can get a 1 month Discovery+ subscription for £4.99.

The coverage is as good as the BBC 2012 / 2016 was and multiple people can watch on multiple devices, cast to TV etc. all on one subscription. There's always 20+ live streams, plus all previous sessions on demand and ...

I'm not sure how much 2nd hand stuff I can get my missus to agree to. It's not that she necessarily minds, it's just if it's not what she wants, she won't agree to it.

Then tell her she can go without.

1st world problems. :wink:

It'll be a lot more than 1st world problems then!

I reckon we should tax people 15% of their incomes for every spare bedroom they own.
Hey, if it is good enough for the poor, sick and unemployed and unpaid carers and the people at the bottom rung if society, it is good enough for the people who can afford it or who cheered this policy into being ...

Maybe I've got it wrong but I thought she said they have every right to boo taking the knee, not that she said they should do.

If she’d wanted to she could have said people are free to boo but she’d rather they didn’t, I’d guess she’d have said something on those lines about booing anthems ...

Also, as an aside, I think Toto mentioned bringing an upgrade for Silverstone, so I don't think they've really stopped developing the car yet.

The upgrades are the tail end of development routes Mercedes went down many months ago. They're not new developments as such. At least that's how ...

Season is done. Give it to Verstappen. Red Bull on a different level - and with Max behind the wheel they are unbeatable.

How did Mercedes get so far behind in the space of one development??

Mercedes stopped developing the car...
Mercedes lost DAS which this car was designed to use ...

Softer: C3, C4 and C5.

And Mercs still struggling to warm up C5s on a much cooler track.

Thanks. I see what you're saying, but it still doesn't make sense.

There are enough Government email addys being cc'd to make the point moot, though.

Also, the private email is the recipient. The point would carry a lot more weight if they could find an email discussing Government business ...

https://twitter.com/GoodLawProject/status/1409771529676673024

I'll need that explained to me.

I can't see any email addresses on that email that are not Government ones (apart from bethell.com who is a recipient).

It strikes me that claiming that certain emails do not exist is a bit rash ...

Yep, even AT are smashing FP1!

Honda seem to be making a habit of bailing out at exactly the wrong time.

Agree 100% on entertainment. That might be because it was actually entertaining at the front for once, though. 2018 and 2019 had something like 70-odd overtakes in total, but you had to work hard to follow them since the 2019 coverage was generally just HAM and BOT turning laps at the front. Even ...

Amazing stroke of luck to have him on board during all of this and of course being allowed to freely report on it :problem:

What is ...

I think the degree of undercut was what screwed Merc and I haven’t heard any definitive explaNations as to why it was so great. Anyone have any theories?

Loving the racing btw. Great to see real competitiveness 👍

My theory is that the 1st stint was quite slow with HAM controlling the pace, and ...

I've said it for years; James Vowles is a terrible strategist. He's got away with some dreadful calls over the years due to Hamilton digging him out or the advantage of having such a good car but as soon as he's on a level field he's getting found out.

Sticking Hamilton on the wrong tyres on ...

In all honesty, there is little incentive now to join the b2L brigade.
The tax change on what you could claim on mortgage interest means it’s now a tax on turnover really and not profit, which is a nonsense way to encourage an industry.

You miss the point entirely. This was the first step ...

What is the incentive currently for BTL landlords?

As far I can make out, if you have £50k in cash you could get a 75% LTV BTL mortgage on a £200k property at say 2.5% it'll cost you about £670/month over 25 years. If you can rent that out for £750/month (outside South East) you'll clear ...

It's great fun seeing people do things like this:

Another prominent pro-Assad figure is Max Blumenthal. In 2012, he resigned from his position as a reporter for the English-language website for the pro-Hezbollah Al-Akhbar newspaper in Beirut, for which he had written frequently about the ...

So we only have 2 teams left in the round robins??

I have to admit, this has not been a great event so far.

Tech faults ruining races. Many races dropped off foils racing in a pond. Finals racing day cancelled. Mostly misbalanced races. And now a “round” robin with only 2 boats.

Even the ...

First order from the EU since Breakshit. Wasn't charged VAT so will see what hassle, if any, when it tries to cross the border.

Nice! What wheelbase do you use?

One of the things I have observed is that boomers tend to like a drink. In contrast millenials seem to be more into coffee.

The legacy the boomers are leaving is an interesting one to consider - collectively they did not treat the nuclear family and marriage with the kind of reverence that ...

There's already been comments about the marshalls from FIA. A large part of the issue us that at circuits that operate near full time, these guys are effectively professions - mainly the European circuits, but some others. But at others, they are at best enthusiastic amateurs. There simply aren't ...

Hunt is their man!
Pfft! Not even a challenge coming up with a nasty nickname for him.

A classic

Always brings a chuckle, thanks!

To be fair, and I’m not inclined to be fair to Johnson, a deal isn’t really a climbdown imo, avoiding no deal lunacy is the least terrible option at this stage.

This.

Any business agreement needs negotiation and compromise, which is why Mrs May’s ‘red lines’ was such a daft and ...

Thats not true is it? Covid vaccination must be proved before travel.

You don't seem to have to prove anything on that list . They don't stop everyone at the gate and ask DO you have angina? No . Prove it.

Do you have a pacemaker ? No ? Prove it etc etc

I'm not clear what your point ...

How would QANTAS know if you were suffering from anything on that list in your link?

Presumably the same way they'd know if you had covid. Although covid is a little more subtle than massive hamster cheeks or supurating sores.

should people who are HIV positive have to identify themselves so we can decide whether we are happy to sit beside them or not ?

what about measles,mups,rubella, TB?

Lets make sure everyone has the whole lot done. Why stop at covid.

Of course you can't fly with fucking mumps :lol:

Qantas ...

not wanting me onboard and being legally allowed to refuse me entry based on a personal medical choice is different though.

like i can go to the travel agent unvaccinated, go in the uber to the airport unvaccinated, grab a mcdonalds in the terminal unvaccinated and then QANTAS decide no you ...

what if it permeates into other facets of day to day life? would you hold the same opinion?

Sure, it's already permeated from elsewhere. Qantas seems an odd exception to pick. Who knows....there might be other airlines that only let non-vacinated people on.

Mind you, by that point, maybe ...

Based on your private medical choices ? I’m not sure . I think there is no precedence for this .

It goes beyond management reserve the right for me......
