Do try to answer my points. Silly insults give the impression that you can't, and that it annoys you that you can't. When I know nothing about a topic, or have nothing constructive to say by way of discussion I simply don't post on it. As I have shown from my links in a previous post there is...

We've seen colleges put their reputation above the welfare of their male students too by failing to properly investigate rape claims and being too quick to believe an accuser. For example, the famous Duke lacrosse case which cost the university a rumoured $60 million in compensation to three...

Your response is tiresomely predictable. Someone disagrees with you and the best you can do is to speculate that he is in favour of sexual assault and has done it himself. That is a hysterical way to reply to anyone, though not unexpected about a subject which often attracts such politically...

100% record. Allardyce is England's greatest manager.

It is also the first time a lot of young women will have been away from the care of their mollycoddling, overprotective parents and exposed to the inhibitions of alcohol. We live in strange times when a drunken male student and a drunken female one can have sex and the female one is allowed to...

There is a great deal of respectable opinion out there which claims that the alleged rape culture at US colleges is a myth. US universities are at the forefront of the lunacies of political correctness with their snowflake students, microaggressions, safe spaces, trigger warnings and denial of...

Sunderland will be on the phone straight away.

Won nothing for 50 years. Dumped out of the Euros by Iceland. Fat Sam as manager. Why anyone cares about the England team is beyond me. It only has comedic value and this latest episode is just part of that.

I have never used tea bags. Loose leaf tea is much better. Many people seem to pride themselves on their increasing sophistication when it comes to drinks like wine, coffee, beer and whiskey but they are still content to serve up low quality, mass market brand teabags to visitors who choose...

Correct. Jeremy Corbyn will not win a general election in my lifetime. Or after I'm dead, even if I'm run over by a bus tomorrow. Corbyn's election as leader is proof that the party has lost any interest in serving the working class and that it prefers to be a virtue signalling hobby for a...

Corbyn will deliver nothing but defeat for Labour. He is the new Michael Foot.

Corbyn's election as leader is like a nervous breakdown for Labour. Instead of rationally coping with the election defeat last year the party has panicked and its members are now acting like a bunch of students playing at politics rather than people who want to organise properly and...

I first tried it for the League Cup Final V Sunderland when they gave out loads of free passes to advertise the service. It worked perfectly on the elderly 2007 computer I had at the time. I've used it three or four times since and I think it is good value for big matches.

There really is no hope for Labour. They are in self-destruct mode.

A typical response from someone who cannot argue his case, is convinced he is right and hates to hear opinions he doesn't like because he can't cope with them in a rational and polite way. I am pleased that the fire service is determined to modernise and save money. Requiring people to reapply...

Perhaps your firm could offer to take outsourced work and staff from the public sector.

Good for you. Tell the firemen where you work so they can apply too.

As someone who employs public sector people - ie a member of the public - I feel entitled to comment on their attitude, which in many cases I think is naive and selfish. Many of them seem to think they should be a venerated, protected species, forever to remain at the high water mark of...

As employees of the public the fire brigade's staff are probably treated better at work than the vast majority of people who employ them. Public sector workers generally have shorter working weeks, premium pay paid overtime on higher wage levels, more annual leave, earlier retirement, much more...

Some retirement homes are very nice indeed but they cost a fortune. Most people end up ones run by exhausted and exploited minimum wage staff who have to do cleaning jobs too so they can pay the rent.
