The point is that they have Socialist left wing principles. Their Tory rivals have no principles as the theft of Labours policies shows. We've had five genuine Labour governments since 1900, excluding the Blair pseudo tory ones. In that time there has been fifteen Tory ones, illustrating...

Not so, I repeat: The only reason the voting in GEs usually goes the way it does is that the majority English are naturally both small "c" conservatives and anti-European. They actually don't like any of the parties and haven't done for many decades. When will it sink in with you that no...

Normally agreed, but certainly didn't work for me since with no parking possibility in or around the health centre I couldn't use my car on that cold and wet February day, taking a cab there instead. When I walked out after the jab it was bucketing with rain. Phoned for a cab but both local...

You're in John, riding on the A5 Hints Bypass near the junction with the A453: Map Link .

Even reading this thread can make one feel out of sorts. .

Nothing to do with Labour's failure: See this link .

Exactly the same as the Tories and their many groupings who tear each other apart as the Brexit votes showed: Far Right in everything, Moderate anti-EU Conservative, Moderate pro-EU Conservative, Liberal Conservative, plus several special interest groups. The only reason the voting in GEs...

Far too soon after the March 8th part opening for the schools to have had any effect, some only went back in the last two days. It's more likely the variants are doing the damage. .

This instantly makes your response irrational, since Boris Johnson has followed Corbyn's main policies of nationalising underperforming rail networks, having his first chancellor Sajid Javid announce large scale investment to boost industry plus extra investment in the NHS and now his second...

I might go along with it if nagging is classified as violence against men. .

The circumstances for the royal family are very different from yours though. Supporting Harry and Meghan in a fight with the media would come at huge cost to the royal family, so I regard their detachment as very wise. The cost of that in their family's personal relationships is the...

No, I wouldn't waste my time on a royal matter of no interest to me. I'm not arguing about the royal family, I'm only arguing about how they should and usually do deal with the media and in particular the press, and this applies to all of us: Ignore the media when they offend. It's what they...

Not knowing anything about the circumstances I can't comment, but this is the key to the whole matter and why ignoring it is important. Let me give you this example: Like an oft polled circa 50% of the British public I couldn't care less about royalty and ignore them, but one day found myself...

Probably because the records were too embarrassing to keep from 1950 on with our rapid decline to national bankruptcy by the 1970s. .

You surprise me, sprog is very common and affectionate way to refer to a child, especially a boy. Not at all an insult and little different from kid or the now less used nipper. .

What for, as you said yourself they were only reporting Meghan's background. The tabloids generally stick just close enough to the truth to avoid prosecution. The Leveson Inquiry was set up to solve the problem, but as our discussion shows, it achieved nothing. The more pressure on the press...

Of course it isn't justified, just as the way the media treat many ordinary people is also vile. But the family can't do anything without making matters very much worse, nor can Harry. Fight the media and the media always wins. Ignore and treat them with contempt and you win. I grew up in a...

Like all royals Harry was taught silence and discretion from an early age, so as I've said above he should ignore the media as an irrelevance and help his wife to do the same. Queen Victoria's children, even the most rebellious, held the media in contempt with considerable success. Spending...

I don't read newspapers so I have no idea. I'm anti royalty anyway. All I know about this affair is that Harry has been a rebellious person for some while, particularly upsetting Charles and even his brother William, so giving ammunition to the media. The best way for all the royals to handle...

Royal families do run out of heirs and bring in outsiders, sometimes outsiders take over anyway like the Normans, so direct racial change can happen. Or it can happen over time by dilution, just look at all the German and Greek blood in ours. .
