Sounds the sort of thing a loser would say

They are citizens of nowhere (©️ Theresa May) Interesting interview on radio 4 with one nondom who was happy to pay more tax on income but would leave if UK inheritance tax applied and meant assets overseas would be included in his estate to be taxed here if he happened to die here. Tax on...

Good grief. Not an assassin then. Rallies organized by Likud and other right-wing groups featured depictions of Rabin in a Nazi SS uniform, or in the crosshairs of a gun.[2][3] Protesters compared the Labor party to the Nazis and Rabin to Adolf Hitler[5] and chanted, "Rabin is a murderer" and...

A cultural Christian would know about the just war doctrine and proportionality in war.

So true. I spent ages trying to use Google Maps to avoid a closure of the M56 at Altrincham before I realised I (or it) had accidentally changed my destination to some narrow lane near Dunham and the Mway wasn't closed. My brother in law's funeral at Derby was delayed waiting for someone from...

For some reason it's hard to compare with the rest of Europe. https://gmk.center/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/photo1697109623-1024x768.jpeg

Having seen the entrails of a cow on the front of a train at Longsight shed, it was what came to mind. If I recall aright, an excursion train for City playing at Hull may have hit a cow en route, circa 1969...

If they were predestinations it was inevitable.

Knock yourself out. Techie article below. Drones to detect a cow round a bend? Differentiate between a track worker at the side of the track and one on the track? Even if technically feasible, the vulnerability of automatic systems (to failure or malicious action) is an issue. See the...

Today, it will be airborne trampolines blocking the line.

Jenrick celebrates English identity but isn't sure what it is...

Er, pay them better (which Labour has agreed to do).

They've already spent a lot of time and energy criticising the budget six weeks before it.

So just winding up Labour luvvies, eh? So forgive me if I say that this argument - "they CHOOSE to go into the public sector and they can leave it and get a better paid job elsewhere if they think their skills are worth it" - is why there's a shortage of NHS staff (relieved by lots of visas for...

Sorry, Chippy, but to admit that you've not listened to someone's argument but think they must be an idiot because of an argument that you have heard perhaps explains a lot.

The most obvious thing would be to avoid the daft thing whereby someone eligible for pension credit ends up with a lot more than someone who doesn't quite qualify. Though I'm not sure even that is as clear-cut, as it seems you can get pension credit even if somewhat over the nominal threshold...

Thankfully, we may never know again what would happen if a Tory sang a song that some people (including you) assumed wrongly was about domestic abuse.

So how would cutting the WFA be seen as appeasing the peasant scum? (Unless the peasant scum is "the market")

Can a computer see a cow on the line? Or someone? (Not that a driver could stop a train in time...)

I have never heard any politician talk about appeasing the peasant scum. Now, "appealing to the electorate", that's another matter.
