I have mixed views on the new 20mph limit and question how and why it has been introduced. I do so from an informed position as resident in Wales. I don't " ... like to speed and rush about a bit" - I do care very much about saving lives. Keep your crass comments to yourself

Living in Wales I experience the 20mph limit every day. Traffic is down to a crawl in busy, now 20mph areas. Around schools I see the sense but there are many busy arterial roads, previously 30mph and not in built up areas or near schools, where traffic is building up extensively. I'm no expert but ...

I can confirm that if you ring the ticket office and explain as I did that my grandson's season ticket hasn't arrived they will send a ticket for the City match via e-mail. Got through to them quickly too.

There is something deeply unedifying about the 'elites' of @premierleague - in that world Mr. Dyche brought success to Burnley on field, transformed it off-field & gave hope, inspiration & joy to fans & the people of a town that doesn't fit the 'elite' mould. He and his staff have been hugely instru...

Arsenal have no gratitude - we kept the grass long to cushion them when they fell over ... a lot ... dramatically.
Also, some of their players wore gloves - quite reprehensible

Claret Spice: "The idea that because Brexit won, the concerns of your neighbour (who stands at risk of losomg his job from the brexit you think the country voted for) don't matter a jot - that's not right, is it?"

The issues many people have with the EU would not have gone away. Unfortunately I think too much of the Remain effort was focused on negativity, rather than challenging the more outlandish claims made about the EU (and about how rosy things will be out of it). Farage said that a defeat for leave wo...

To some extent, the UU's relationship with the EU was already a result of internal compromise within the UK. In Europe, but not in the EU or Schengen, etc. Of course, parliament and the government would have had to take into account internal UK opinion in determining the UKs position on a host of i...

My reason for voting to Leave was for sovereignty issues. 3 years on that hasn't changed. However, I have, and still do, (just) believe that to exit we need to do so by negotiation and compromise. In other words we need to 'manage' our Brexit for the good of the UK and all its citizens, regardless o...

The way the EU has developed since 1975 has been one of an inextricable rise towards greater Europe federalism. This continues to this day and the problem for the UK is that we have never been comfortable with that and never wanted it. Brexit has, in some degree lanced this boil. There will never be...

I’ve given assistance to fellow Police Officers who’ve been in varying degrees of danger, some life threatening, on many occasions. Thankfully, I’ve been the recipient of such assistance too.

The last few threads confirm the very real problem there is with anti-semitism; the double standards and hypocrisy there is around the whole issue of racism; the huge flaw within parts of the Labour party and it's supporters on this.

The fact is the Jews don't want equality, in fact its the last thing they want is to be treated like anyone else, they use their power, influence, their dominance in the media to brainwash people and yes use money to get their own way so they remain on top.

You daren't say. No one will. The Times, Telegraph, Mail, Bloomberg, and all the others daren't say either. No will will say, which is why it took me so long to find the supposed answer.

I think this is yet another part of a coordinated attack on Corbyn. The Tories are clearly rattled by the prospect of a less than successful Brexit and need to get their retaliation in early as it were. The political landscape regarding Jews is quite interesting.

You may disagree with the original poster on this thread but there are ways of doing that.

Corbyn’s opposition to PFI is longstanding, and prescient. As was his opposition to the Iraq War. Given everything he’s said about it I cannot see him using that vehicle to fund any of his infrastructure projects, any more than I can see him launching an invasion of a Middle Eastern country. ... an...

I wonder how fit for purpose uber charities like Oxfam have been for some time now. Have they become too large and lost sight of their main purpose?
