It would be a cluster**** still because of the differences in what people believe leaving entails. I'd be happy to leave if we had something similar to Norway but that wouldn't please some people as Norway is in Schengen for example

The live coverage of the supreme court is fascinating. They are picking apart the detail of what various politicians have said in interviews.

I guess it depends on your understanding of the science regarding identity, gender and sexuality. Can't lie I was pretty sceptical but recently I've worked with clinicians who are involved in this area. It's a pretty complex and there's a ton of research into it. Incidentally the idea that...

I don't get why everyone's saying he looks massively overweight in the OPs pick, he was always quite broad compared to the more lanky keepers you see these. Plus that was from the first day of pre season. The point of pre season is to get into shape, the volume, type of training he would have...

Having worked on government IT projects until I couldn't cope with the waste and incompetence any more, I would have no faith whatsoever in the Government (or the parasitical consultancies they use) being able to provide a technical solution.

what is the point of this thread? pretty sure no one has changed their opinion because of it. it just seems full of bile and people getting angry.

No need to apologise, he is actually quite funny. It's his attempt at social commentary that's a bit lame. I probably just think he's an idiot because I like avocados.

Geoff Norcott is an idiot. He's part of that weird contradiction... "I'm working class, and believe that you work hard and get what you deserve" vs "Look at these people who've worked hard and are reaping the benefits, they're ruining it for the rest of us". Good review here...

100% this

It's a very interesting article https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/15/us/trump-tweets-two-americas-blake/index.html

That's definitely the sub text. It's pretty galling that the rest of his party (and the country) don't all see that and condemn it.

American politics has always been about populism. Trump is a scum bag, but plays the political game better than the politicians as he recognises that reactionary statements and soundbites are what work in their system. Most socioeconomic issues are highly complex and interdependent...

It's easy (ish) to get to and park unlike gyms in town. It has a couple of pools so is ok for lane swimming. It has decent equipment, although if it's busy the squat rack can be a bit of a log jam, but that's the same at any gym. Coffee/food is ok-ish. I don't go to any of the classes, but...

Sorry to hear that. I guess it depends on the severity and what the challenges you or anyone have, and also what may have caused them. For me I've been really lucky as any issues I have had actually had an identifiable cause, which when removed resolved things. Again due to luck and a decent...
