Hear hear ! First point - not in my name please. I have never made that gesture to anyone anywhere so it is not "something we have all done" Second point - it is a rude malicious insulting childish gesture and the world would be a better place without it Should the fan be banned?. No, sent...

I agree with you except they are not all idiots unfortunately. They include journalists looking for a story and others looking to damage Labour's chances by playing into the narrative of "Labour extremism". A load of rubbish of course but widely believed

There is nothing wrong with borrowing money and our national debt as a percentage of gdp is not particulatly high in historic terms. If you can borrow money at 3 % and make a return that is in excess of 3% all is well. At the moment the UK can borrow at very low interest rates so does it not...

SNCF is owned 100% by the French state

Well, time will tell

I think you will find that French railways are state run and German railways largely so . So perhaps not so silly. I know of course that Labour policy is not yet a second referendum. However two things might well happen post a disastrous negotiation. Firstly there will be a swing in public...

The biggest threat to the pound is crashing out of the EU with no deal or a bad deal. And which party is likely to do that I wonder.? I imagine that Labour policy for the next election will be a second referendum and the whole world and its capital markets wiĺl breathe a huge sigh of relief...

Whether you like it or not organisations take moral and sometimes political stances. For example some treat their employees well , others dont. That represents a moral choice. The Mail the Sun and the Guardian all have a political agenda and claim moral positions on issues.I think the Guardian...

I think the numbers who read the Sun and the Mail represent a kind of index of the state of society. I think they are both awful newspapers owned edited and written by cynical intelligent people who exploit the power and position they have. There is no moral equivalence between the Guardian...

Quite right. My country right or wrong is just as unapealing and totalitarian in a football context as any other. Brighton fans are no more critical than the fans of any other club. How you do it may be important but slavish, uncritical support is rather pathetic and players and executives...

If we did not have referendums we could just laugh at your arrant nonesense and paranoid musings. But we do and we thereby empower you and your fellow travellers. Oh woe is me !

Your reply wins you the Donald Trump award for stupididity, rudeness and angry prejudice. Well done !

It is hysterical becuase nowhere is she trying to extend the article to the things you are mentioning. You are creating a "straw man" which you then knock down. She is using Nelson's column as a metaphore for the things we admire and how she thinks we are mistaken and missing the things we...

No, what is laughable is your hysterical reacton to an interesting article written by an intelligent journalist whose views are her own and not owned by the Guardian.

More fool you if you stop reading the Guardian because you cant cope with a counter view to your own. Maybe you will find your spiritual home at the Mail or the Telegraph. I thought the aricle was quite thought provoking. I didnt know Nelson was a slaver and now I do. How I interpret that...

This is just ridiculous. All the last Labour advocated was tax and public expenditure a little higher than the historically low levels put forward by the Tories. We will still not approach the levels of those well known communist states - Germany France Holland Sweden Denmark et al. Do you...

Oh no ! Surely you are not still using that hoary old excuse when called out in argument. I think it is called the Jim Davidson protocol

I think you could do with a course in economics and logic. Maybe then you would no make ridiculous comparisons and comments

yes, ask not about Trump but about those who voted for him and continue to support him. Add in Brexit, Le Pen, anti immigration rubbish, internet trolling and recent abuse of NHS doctors and you describe a western society which may be in freefall. Very dangerous because what comes next...

I was reacting to someone who suggested he/she could not understand her or could not listen to her. By all means criticise what she says but snidey comments about what she looks like are silly and crass.
