I fully agree for JCB, a great company for this country to be very proud of. My problem is how short we are of such gems and the often despair I felt when working for some of our poorer managed examples. .

I have a different take on this from those early days. Many English people seemed to think saying someone was black was somehow wrong, thinking coloured was less insensitive. There didn't seem to be much reaction at first, but later on, terms like Black Power and Black is Beautiful coming into...

Both, but that is normal for any party politician who dares to change something. .

These are two utterly different issues. It's normally unnecessary to mention anyones colour, they are all people and no adjective is necessary. The only exception I know of is if a full description is being given for identification. But people do have two physiological genders and if someone...

Many years ago I remember seeinga little black Yorkshire comedian who worked the clubs up there. He walked on stage, looked around at the audience for a while, then said: "Look at you, pink skin, yellow hair, blue eyes, red lips! And you call me coloured!" .

There's a lot of detail on this web site. .

Only part of the EU, he's President of the EU Commission for a five year term, ending in 2019. Donald Tusk is President of the EU Council. Antonio Tajani is President of the European Parliament. .

The EU leaders aren't being difficult, they've already made a plan for flights to continue in a no deal scenario. British airlines will still be able to fly in and out of the EU, but they won't be able to fly EU to EU, so no earnings for them within the EU area. .

Remember the Commissioners and Juncker are temps so have to stash some for the following period of unemployment. :) Seriously the EU is more efficient than many realise, they have fewer civil servants than Derby council who only have a fraction of the population to administer to. .

Definitely agree, but not sure Ken would want it at his age. .

Here I agree with you. She's cornered herself and has no options but to stick to her guns or resign. .

No I wouldn't be anything I'd regard as serious bother. I'd tell them where to put their attitudes and walk away, regarding them as joining the stupid. .

The wrong thing she did which I regard as stupid was that, as a Remainer, she stood for PM when she knew that meant implementing Brexit. That was putting ambition before principle. .

A move to mainland Europe? .

No I don't accept that, it's perfectly normal to append the target to the word stupid. If we see a dog doing something we see as daft , we will often say "stupid dog". Is that us being "dogist", discriminating against dogs? Of course not. We even mutter it against things, objects like...

Million dollar question, who knows? Hopefully not but we can't be sure yet. I used to have to present a passport to enter the UK's Northern Ireland in the 1970s! .

But we should stand up against it, PC is going too far now and I particularly object to the current trend of some woman clutching at any straw as part of the utterly stupid "Me too" bandwagon. Too often imagined wrongs. .

I don't agree, this is a petty issue that some women are now using as yet another accusation of sexism. They've often shown no reluctance to accuse a man of being stupid and only recently I heard a group of three women saying just that. There have been occasions when I've said stupid man or...

Despite all the huffing and puffing from TM and co. about getting rid of the ECJ, we are still subject to the ECJ in numerous ways. Many of the EU laws we passed into UK law with the great repeal bill have the ECJ as the final arbiter, and TM's deal if accepted includes being subject to the...
