They should be banned, of course. Kids deserve a secular education free of voodoo. IIRC, Richard Dawkins did a TV series a few years back where he found a majority of kids in a class believed that the world was created by a supreme being. He took them on a field trip to show them fossils and...

CCFC ownership responsible for move away from Ricoh. That's a fucking revelation.

100%. In his own statement, he said: "But as the weeks have passed, there has been more and more interest from clubs in the Championship and it became clear to me that there was a real chance to play in a higher division ... I have to let my head rule my heart as this is my career." The...

Ask Mark Robins if he'd rather manage Coventry or Huddersfield... If Pressley were handed the choice, he'd perhaps pick Leeds. They are in the same division as Bournemouth, have the bigger ground and potential for growth, but are also something of a basketcase. Bournemouth, on the other hand...

I am unsure why you are providing me with these links. We are not having a discussion about the merits and drawbacks of the human rights act -- just clarifying its coverage for all. But I will say there is an irony to the two links: those mentioned in the BBC article suffer because of...

Yes, and rights get violated. That is why we have criminal law.

The quote I provided answered that, clearly and succinctly: The human rights enshrined within the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which has been incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998, apply to everyone, including convicted criminals. If you want a detailed breakdown...

In that scenario, Bournemouth would have a higher wage bill, be able to attract better players, have larger revenue, greater global exposure, and play against elite teams. By pretty much every measure that counts, Bournemouth would be the superior team. 'Bigger' is just a redundant adjective...

Unfortunately, 'bigger and more successful' counts for nothing except as a last resort of pride for fans. Any player who cites that as a reason for joining a club is just giving lip service; it's about as sincere as kissing the badge. A player today is offered the choice between joining...

The human rights enshrined within the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which has been incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998, apply to everyone, including convicted criminals. Some of these rights are absolute, such as the right not to be subjected to torture or inhuman...

Are you referring to the Crown vs. Brooks?

They would both have the same human rights.

You can't have fewer human rights than somebody else. Everybody has the same rights.

They did. But his time spent at Cov wasn't worthless: his goals kept the club out of L2. Now hopefully the money from his sale can lead to a stronger overall squad, fit to push for promotion.

RIP. It was only a few years ago that I saw him still stealing scenes in Wall Street 2. A true legend of cinema. Not many of them left now. Until you watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, your life will always be a shade poorer than it could be.

I see Coventry as being part of Warwickshire. I'm sure arguments could be made for shared history and culture and whatnot, but I see it as being a straightforward geographic issue. The city is surrounded by the Warwickshire towns. Coventry's absence in that picture is a bit conspicuous! And...

No, but I recently read The Cuckoo's Calling (written under the nom de plume of Robert Galbraith). Vibrant and colourful little detective story. Worth flicking through.

A lot of misguided anger. A damning verdict on the media, education, and mainstream political leadership.

It is hard to envisage a day in the UK where one can get by without using public services. The roads outside are built, maintained and kept clean with tax money. Order kept and property protected by the police. The TV and internet we enjoy came about because of massive public investment...

Most people can't pay less tax. As Leona Helmsley said: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes." If everybody could pay less tax, then society as we know it would collapse. Who would pay for the roads, hospitals, rubbish disposal, sewage maintenance, police force, research and...
