Not sure there was a theory from either of them though was there, Harriet simply had a hunch and Fiona knew but couldn't say she knew. You have to remember whoever they gun for at this stage there is very little to go on and whoever they choose is an even money gamble. Fascinating though.

To get broad agreement on the exact system to implement in his own party would take some time for starters. The Lords would likely not be helpful in getting whatever was agreed through, so would likely run out of time in this parliament. It's also not good optics to change a voting system without having included in the manifesto, a big mistake in my view.

Easy to say when you know, but what real evidence did either of them have. It a fascinating study in human psychology, but simply proves that not everyone reacts to stressful situations in the same way, despite most people our way is the only way.

Or reform given the number of former Tories now grifting there

I am less than convinced writing to clubs at he beginning of the season would provide much information as most would not respond and those that did would say they weren't in a position to say with any confidence because they use a form of dynamic pricing. . While I agree where possible we ought to be reciporating on price, with our current attendences the club would be kicking itself in the balls by doing the same on allocations at a time when they need all the revenue they can get.

Didn't the King have an arranged marriage?

I could get on board with that, but it requires a huge amount of world wide diplomacy, which currently there is very little appetite for. How do you propose the governments goes about seeking agreements to take a share of refugees from 1st safe countries, given that most of these are currently not on our continent.

What absolute rubbish, many surveys have concluded that the people of cities populated by many from different backgrounds have far less of a problem with multi culturism than area's dominated by white British. You only have to see where Farage gets his votes to see that , those that don't come into contact with ethnic minorities that are frightened of the unfamilier it seems.

Pre Brexit we were able to return those applying for asylum here having already done so in Europe

Maybe just maybe those willing to risk their lives to cross the channel do so believing they are genuine cases and therefore more likely to be granted asylum, who knows. When we were in the EU most asylum seekers were coming here by safe and legal routes agreed with the EU and therefore there was not the pull to take very risking crossingsas we could send them straight back. Perhaps the rate has reduced because we have a government who is not such a "soft touch".

It is relevant becuase it reflects on of the arguments made from the right on countries abilities to absorb asylum seekers into their populations. When in the EU we werer able to agree such numbers. Most who have applied for asylum have been granted it by the last 4 governments who all professed to be tough on it. There does though seem to be more non genuine cases in the last couple of years, don't know why that is, but is certainly not due to pull factors beyond this is a better place to be than their home country, imagine that.

Not sure what you are teying to say interms of success, but we are at the lower end of succesful asylum claims per capita across europe. It's also more difficult to send asylum seekers back post Brexit and so coming out of the Dublin convention.

I am sure you know that is not at all true, but I'll spell it out for you. Welfare benefits for asylum seekers are greater in France than they are in the UK and France allow then to work, which we do not, so there are other pull factors (langauge, family ties etc) for the minority who attempt to cross from France.

No great surprise there, it never felt a comfortable fit. It will be interesting to see where he plays over the next few months, expect to see him at a few DPWT events over the next few months.

Ok, so we get half a dozen at at the Riverside on a wet Wednesday night in Feb, big deal, its still not going to help anyone, who wouldn't otherwise, get a ticket for Cheltenham in the Cup

So how would you envisage that working?. As usual with these simple solutions to complex problems the law of unintended consequences would likely kick in, for examble we would take no fans to places like Middlesborough on a Wednesday night as people saved up their maximum allowance of 14 to ensure they got tickets for Cheltenham in the cup. The result it helps no one.

Not one of us loves these things, but businesses would simply not have introductory offers if they could not take payment details in advance. We all have a choice, take the free offer and suffer the consequences, or never accept such an offer.

I joined almost 10 years ago, and the club has seen steady improvements since both on and off the course. Always love playing Longcliffe to, goods greens with some subtle slopes, arguably the best track in Leicestershire.

Cosby was open and hasn't been closed at all yet this winter not sure it can take much more of the wet stuff mind. We're also on fairway mats and winter tees and it's carry only.

There's only really Kilworth Springs in Lecistershire that fits that bill, as its built in an old quary. Everywhere else is on clay and so suffers big style in our ever wetter winters.

I am guessing that they have pitched it ast £45 to give them maximum income, feeling that any higher they wouldn't very many. £45 is also the minimum prize for their own fans for this game.

Cheapest there are also £45.

Bit late now, but should have gone to the ticket office, they would have either help tou get the electronic ticket or have issued you with a paper ticket.

A new low for Fifa, among many.
