  1. Regardless of whether tax avoidance is moral, the point is the government needs to do something about it instead of focusing on people who can't find a job during an economic downturn
  2. Read the link that bridge too far posted
  3. So what you're saying is he's a poor man's Jeremy Clarkson
  4. I'm not convinced he had the intelligence to make the most of his obvious ability
  5. He's always been an excellent reaction stopper but wait till the near post shots start sneaking in
  6. Seems like Big Vic had made a big difference
  7. I'm giving Bear the all clear, he's much more creative and varied
  8. I wonder if he has OCD? His relentless need to poke fun at the same targets again and again was quite obsessive
  9. Don't forget that this is still his first season after stepping up to the premier league. I think he deserves another year. At the very least he's a good squad player, no reason to get rid
  10. There's so much more to penalties than having a hard shot
  11. Either that or they checked the web hits and went with what people were clicking on
  12. My understanding is you have psychopaths and sociopaths (its possible I'm wrong but I think that;s what I remember). So psychopaths have defective brains so they don't feel empathy. Sociopaths do bad things because of their upbringing. Ian Brady was a psychopath, Myra Hindley was a sociopath. They both did evil things - Myra because her violent father had made her believe violence was ok at a young age and Ian because he just enjoyed it. Jon Ronson's book the Psychopath Test is very readable if you are interested in the topic
  13. I'd like the speaker to have the power to step in if a question isn't adequately answered
  14. He was certainly the best striker at the club when fit, but you could always be sure he'd be back in the treatment room before too long
  15. Won't there?
  16. But nothing would make a Scottish breakaway more likely than another Tory government. A Labour - SNP coalition could be the only way to save the union
  17. It's actually all about the SNP, Labour are going to be decimated in Scotland
  18. Has he said exactly what happened with the collar bone incident? Was it some tough guy wanting to stick one on a legend?
  19. So basically you want masses of extra red tape for businesses that send staff to work in Europe, and extra layers of government bureaucracy to police it, and all in order to solve a problem which the evidence shows doesn't exist
  20. I think there could be an issue with having too many immigrants too quickly, but I don't see any evidence that we're anywhere close to that
  21. Fair enough I thought you were saying that we have uncontrolled immigration at the moment. Clearly we are not seeing those levels at present so the system is OK
  22. More immigrants paying taxes means it's actually easier to pay for the NHS. Especially as they are normally working age, so can help pay for all our oldies. There's plenty of space for more houses, we just need to build them. Will stimulate the building trade and help the economy
  23. Great arguments guys, thought provoking as always
  24. English is your first language so you're OK
