Agreed. You can do so much with them too. Distance, speed, mixing it up, lower or upper body bias, etc. it's not a fad, doesn't require upgraded membership, a specialist gym, a trainer, so would gyms push them? Good time btw. I like 500m bursts. Under 1:40, but keeping the strokes per min as low as possible, aiming for 20-25. 45 second max break, repeat, repeat, etc.

Yep! It's been that kind of morning. If a pop tart pops up in front of me, someone's for it.

Bags on gym floors. Use a locker. People hogging gym equipment while watching their phones. Use the equipment. Cheap brown sauce in cafes. Just no excuse. People that don't know who's right of way it is at roundabouts. Sort it out. People who don't pick up their dogs shit. Peasants. That's this mornings annoyance covered. Well, most of it.

I can't pick one, it's mood dependant. Today it's Pulp Fiction.

Sadly some do. I had an exchange with a bloke a while back who concluded that I wanted his daughter to be raped by an immigrant because I opposed flags and didn't support reform. If asylum seekers are proportionally committing more sexual offences than others, that highlights the need for some education. Sure, it shouldn't be needed, but if there's a problem, it needs addressing. I'm not sure a little booklet is the answer though.

It's clearly an acknowledgement that education or information is needed. To answer my question, would you prefer these people to be educated or not?

Would you prefer that people who haven't been raised here aren't educated in the way things are here? Educating them seems more sensible than not educating them. It's being done in a shit way mind, and although the information shouldn't have to be given, I'm struggling to think why anyone would prefer the information not to be given.

I think you're approaching a complex issue in a very simple way, and looking for a scapegoat that doesn't exist. At the end of the day, government decisions are exactly that. There'll always be opposition to anything, from various areas of the political spectrum, and quite what you're trying to prove here I can't see. At the end of the day, illegal immigration on this scale was teed up by the tory government, and there has not been a labour policy which has led to it getting worse. Indeed, labour have increased removals, closed more hotels, and carried out more raids.

Devils advocate - educating people who may need educating, is surely better than not educating them.

Yep. You're not investing in a top end championship club with hundreds of millions. And his name sounds too much like Yul Brynner for my liking.

Israel could attack any NATO country and article 5 wouldn't get invoked, and Turkey wouldn't have entered into the middle east defence pact if they had confidence in NATO article 5 support.

But nobody would get on boat if they could become one of the 300. Or something like that.

It'll be a test for sure. I suspect the line will be that Turkey were the aggressor, so article 5 shouldn't apply, or some nonsense.

Hilarious that people saw that as a solution, and still think it would have been.

Now turning up the heat in Syria. Chunks of the West occupied (plus Golan), attacks to the north, coupled with veiled threats to Turkey which Bibi has said is due to "security", but basically means Turkey will stop them doing what they want. So Gaza destroyed and occupied, the west bank being eroded daily, more settlements promised, southern Lebanon smashed up and occupied, western Syria occupied, and now teeing up for a scrap with Turkey. Fair play to Turkey for doing more than strongly worded letters, but the west beed to do more about this expansionism and behaviour.
