With the BBC’s track record I’m surprised he’s not already back on the screens? Ease him back gently, maybe a stint on CBeebies or Songs of Praise I shouldn’t wonder.

If they did do that in Ireland then the paddies did it at home as before 95 all the pubs were shut on St Patrick’s day. St Patrick’s day in Ireland has a long history of being religious and sober. The St Patrick’s day jamboree we have now now has much more in common with the Halloween...

Hmm, peoples liberties you say, there’s little doubt the state salami slicer has taken another slice of freedom on its journey towards authoritarianism this week. I’m willing to take a punt that those who are in raptures about this new law would also have been the most vocal in support on the...

I have it on good authority that before the match we will be observing a minutes silence to remember those Russian music fans killed in Moscow by Islamic terrorists last week. It’s a measure of the solidarity between our countries that despite our obvious current political differences we can...

I am not sure there is as much pearl clutching about the flag as the media project, broadly speaking this “dynamic” of changing stuff in the interests of a fresh new vision etc. is not new, it’s why we have Anne Boleyn played by a black actress, or women commentators/pundits on men’s sport...

No you need to try harder. If you checked your bag in at Gatwick in late 80s early 90s you sailed through to airside with your ticket and passport. That was it, no x ray machines or taking off your belts, watched and shoes. I remember the process very well, because by the early 90s stuff...

Yeah, I remember that, it was done due to violence by football fans, an they took place no where else. No security checks are de reiguer everywhere and at events with no history of violence. Unless events like Ariadne Grande concerts have been beset by unreported violence from prepubescent...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and for U.K. institutions the indulging of ANY religion in an increasingly multi faith country is going to create problems. Notwithstanding the legitimate complaints by traditionalists with British institutions embracing the growing influence of...

Well, directly we have intrusive security checks now in places we never used to? Indirectly, I don’t recall voting for a system that supported polygamy...

Who knows, as this episode we are commenting on demonstrates, we are already well on the wedge journey aren't we? In less than 100 years, despite increasing secularisation in the U.K. a new religion has arrived, put down roots and continues to be indulged by the powers that be. With a growing...

I agree, the appeasers on here and elsewhere have their heads in the sand, this message at Kings X is classic thin end of the wedge stuff. Where’s the atheist messages? A mere 15 years ago the Humanist Society launched a campaign in London expressing the sentiment that there is no God………...

If you are in Rome, ticketless and want to go to game I know local BHA fan with 2 tix in hospitality, so not cheap but would do deal to give to BHA fans chance as opposed to Roma. PM if interested, they can be emailed.

It’s comforting news that people continue to contribute to the RNLI because it needs all the money it can get………..NDAs ain’t cheap. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rnli-failing-to-investigae-assault-bullying-and-misconduct-claims-gwkwgprj2 It’s at least transparent about the millions it...

I know someone that has 2 VIP seats from someone that lives in Rome. I can intermediate, if genuinely interested. They are not cheap…….£350 each. PM me.

Good old public subsidies eh, if only we could get back into the EU with the “mutha” of all public subsidies………..the common agricultural policy (CAP). The largest component in the EU budget of billions and a process where EU consumers pay tax to landowners. You say no problem with that...
