Maybe, but I'd rather see the game than just listen to it. I have been in some bad seats in St Mary's.

Too subtle for some, apparently.

Ahhhh, that's nice

I shall always be grateful to him for his two goals against Arsenal that set up Matt's glorious winner at The Dell.

It's the rich that pay for a large part of government spending. You won't get that from a moral compass and you'd have even less social mobility. I agree about the railways, privatisation is a stupid idea.

They are now, they weren't when we signed them, apparently.

£50bn is a hell of a lot and sounds like it's been plucked out of thin air. If it were anything like that much then the Treasury would be jumping on it. It's in progress: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/budget/11727036/Budget-2015-Private-equity-managers-to-fork-out-1.8bn-more-in-tax-as-loophole-is-tightened.html The Treasury is very inventive and exhaustive in grabbing every penny they can get but they can only go after the unlawful evasions.

If they're illegal then they would be mopped up. If they're legal then how can they be 'unpaid taxes'? Or is he just saying that he would increase taxes by £50bn?

He's going to do all that without raising taxes? There's nowhere near enough tax evaded to pay for all that and even then what they're doing is not illegal. This has confirmed it for me, he is a loony lefty.

Do you think the views of the right-wingers are any less valid than your's?

Moped. (NSU)

Not really comparable to our Conservatives. Denmark seems to be in a permanent state of coalition and the present prime minister is leader of the 'Venstre' party which means 'Left'. I suppose we might describe their proposals as typical of a Conservative government. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/danish-government-to-curb-immigration-and-freeze-spending-1.2265974 (Unless all this has changed in the last couple of weeks)

Retiring a shirt is a bit 'American', don't you think?

Good point, although for Norway and Sweden I would argue that there are special circumstances in that Norway has enormous fuel resources for a small population and Sweden was neutral during the war and profited greatly from it. Even so, they haven't actually buggered it up.

Venezuela is an outstanding example of economic mismanagement. The largest oil reserves in the world and they still get it wrong.

I would submit that his age is irrelevant. All that matters is his effectiveness.

How do you know all this? The club seems to be doing very well as it already.

Yes, I accept that. The situation is much improved these days.

A very sensible view. I believe that the developing bond between a mother and child are vitally important but there is also a benefit from a morning of two mixing with other children under a properly structured learning environment. The problems arise when the child is just dumped in the corner and left to itself, whether that be at home or in a crèche.

Hook of Holland to Harwich is a great route.

It sometimes seems that way.
