There is nothing worse than being lectured to by morally superior goody goodies about what you're supposed to find funny and not.

While ever people are comfortable in their own terms and within their own lives, they'll forgive the top 1%. The British establishment understand this which is why we're well served with a rich and diverse entertainment industry catering for every level of taste, and with well stocked shops full of relatively cheap sweet and salty food.

We live in a left wing capitalist society. The idea of that 100 years ago would have seemed mad, but its where we are.

In the entertainment industry Its not as simple as men are paid more than women. Some women are paid more than men, some women are paid more than other women, and men are paid more than other men. People are not paid equally. In the broadcast/entertainment industry you can't equalise pay as what individuals (we're all individuals, not homogenous groups) are worth is completely subjective, and can depend on you and/or your agents negotiating skills.

I have no spite towards the staff that will need to find new jobs, but this is good news. The gambling industry is terrible and damages people.

Speaking personally, when playing pool, so long as I've had a good enjoyable close game, I'm not bothered when I lose, but I suppose you think I should go away and quietly kill myself for being such a loser?!

Much more than most other male news presenters, but the feminists will have you believe that its a gender pay gap.

I agree but lets not be like the Americans about it; their winning is everything attitude that they like to outwardly project, masks a collective psychological weakness they have.

Europe including Britain, should pool its sovereignty.

Isaac Newton said that "I saw further than others because I stood on the shoulders of giants".

Its the very westernised, secular BME's that are open to progressive agendas, if they are. As for the Chinese, I'm told they generally keep themselves very much to themselves within universities, as they do in general society.

If universities are so anti-racist and right-on, why is the lack of BME students in them a thing? could it be the fact that many BME people, such as Muslims, Sikhs, Africans and Chinese, etc, are moderately conservative, with a small c, in nature, and that universities being in the grip of such Bolshevik type far left mobs is putting many of them off? How many Muslim, Indian, and African doctors do you think truly buy in to all this self-identifying, trans people agenda? lets be honest many of them won't buy into it at all.

In general, mobile phones being multi media devices are an absolute scourge on society. My phone makes/receives calls and texts only, and has a basic camera on it.

Well I can assure you in my case its nothing to do with nappies. Speaking of nappies though, I was disappointed to see nappies left around Hillsborough park during that Owls In The Park event last weekend. There are some horrible people.

You're perfectly entitled to spend your money as you wish of course, but seriously, you'd pay through the nose to have a premium company clean and check the pram??

There is a degree of government oversight over universities, and there are measures a government can take, like shutting down the bogus ones for instance, which was done a few years back.

When you say "plenty of places" I take it you mean, not universities? On neutrality, I just mean that obnoxious blow hard leftie students shouldn't be allowed to form mobs, enforcing "safe spaces" which are just an excuse for people to block out views different to their own. As for cyclones questions, I'm not indulging his hysterical godwins law nonsense.

They should just be places where someone like Jacob Rees Mogg can give a talk without being set upon by an aggressive ugly mob. Is that too much to ask?

Don't the council, or whoever it is, do audits of road signage? I think its laughable that there is a sign on Rivellin valley road warning of ice!

I should have mentioned that the tops are not on mine; I'm sure I heard somewhere that the tops are not recyclable like the bottles, so I've always removed them before putting them in the recycling bin.

I think I answered it in the second paragraph of post 468.

What is this, 20 questions?

Paying for a general licence to be able to watch live broadcast television is one thing, but an increasing amount of people resent it paying for one particular broadcaster.

Even as you were typing that out you must have known that isn't what I meant at all. How does neutrality mean "tell Universities what they can and can't teach"? I think you're just a troll. Universities seem to be overrun with the far, far left at the moment, shutting down any one that doesn't subscribe to hivemind. Within the bounds of reason, all points of view should be aired in universities.

Why is the license fee linked to the BBC?
