My first two points of the season from the last two games :shrug:

Corrected for you!

None of the options listed - RDZ will leave "by mutual consent" next month.

The Republicans and Christian Fundamentalists are 'pro-life' up until the moment the baby is born, and then they don't give a **** about its subsequent life, or mental or physical well-being. Also, they oppose an NHS on the grounds that this would grant the State control over people's bodies...

Back in the 1930s, the economist John Maynard Keynes was arguing that the best way to revive a stagnant economy was to increase government spending through public and private investment in infrastructure (transport, housing, schools, hospitals, etc), which would then create jobs and higher wages...

One other point which is overlooked when 'crack-downs' on welfare are regularly announced, and give Daily Mail readers multiple-orgasms, is that cutting payments to claimants obviously means they have to reduce their weekly spending - which then means that local shops and other retailers will...
