Someone is smoking something, that's for sure. Kemi is a smirking clown who relies on repetitive culture wars rather than intelligent argument. The Tories were damaged by their own incompetence and corruption, and last I recall she was right at the heart of that. She pretty much gets her arse...

And until the HRA was codified, where were human rights in English Common Law let alone "ancient traditions"? They weren't. Aren't you shooting down your own argument here, you were claiming ancient traditions would suffice, now you've shifted to the HRA. Basically, it seems to me you're saying...

Our "ancient traditions" do not incorporate human rights as such. Just a limited concept of habeas corpus, trial by peers, and protection against the monarch. (A brief history of this is linked to below, if you're interested). Quite clearly then, "ancient tradition" cannot replace codified...

Start with Simms up front, and take it from there. 😁

Have you seen that Christopher Nolan film, Memento, where the protagonist has lost the ability to form new memories and has to tattoo important information onto himself? I'm getting a bit like that now. I think I need something tattooed on the back of my hand like, "You've left your glasses in...

The alternate version is... Hitler, has only got one ball, Goering's, got two but very small, Himmler, has something similar, But poor old Goebbels, has no balls, at all. How does this stuff stay in your head?! Anyhow, turns out that the song was probably correct...

There's a lot of truth there, so fair play for your honesty (though I think even then we knew the P word was wrong, and I don't remember that one being thrown around too much at school at least). I think the point was that Farage is accused of directing this sort of stuff at individuals, by...

Erm, me and Farage are about the same age. This wasn't stuff he was saying when he was ten, it was in his late teens. So closer to forty years ago. Mid to late 1980s. And yes, things were different then, but we didn't go around singing Hitler was right or telling Jewish kids that there weren't...

Given our top and middle order have taken to playing their cricket shots like they're driving off the first tee at the Belfry, maybe it's good practice.

Can't beat a traditional name, though for some reason my son isn't keen on Æthelred these days. Says his teachers find it hard to spell. His sister, Æthelflæd, never complained...

Great way to start the day. I hope all three of you are doing well, from memory it's all a bit of a whirlwind. Go out and grab all of today's newspapers now, or get one of the family to do it. Always a bit of a memento when they get old enough to appreciate it. You've just moved from being...

Certainly impressed me there. Can't really picture someone like Chris Wilder behaving like that. Makes a refreshing change. In fairness, they had us on the back foot for a while there....

Ryan Mason, to his credit, not whining about the sending off, blames the player for losing his discipline. Unusual that, from a manager.

Fuck it, I'm calling it now. We are definitely staying up. 😁

Bit scary that one. EMC and JDS had relatively poor games, imho, but the team pulled together and Simms got properly stuck in. Chuffed to bits with the result regardless, we're flying, loving it!
