    Isis

    There isn't a straightforward answer to this, but a couple of thoughts: 1. The fight is being waged every day and lots of 'winning' is being done. Some of it you see on the news, e.g. drone attacks on Isis strongholds. Most of it you will never see as it is being run by MI5, MI6, GCHQ, black...

    Isis

    You do realise that many have chosen to do exactly that?

    Isis

    They are not martyrs if they are not killed. For many of them, being killed by the enemy state is exactly the glory they seek, and it will rally many more to the cause rather than act as a deterrent. If you believe Britain is better, then it should act better.

    Isis

    Doesn't answer Sick Boy's question. What would the 'fightback' involve? Who would you be fighting back against? What specific actions should be taken? Curious to see if you can list any examples of our cherished 'way of life' that weren't created by a progressive liberal elite...

    Isis

    I'm not sure that creating martyrs is the way to go.

    Anyone remember Rob Gurney?

    He's good, isn't he? Fluid and descriptive commentary without needing to pause or reconsider. For all the talk of the deterioration of CCFC, perhaps not enough is said for the loss of Gurney. The quality of his coverage of City (commentary & Sportstalk) kept a lot of people connected to the team.

    Anybody watching the Apprentice?

    No doubt they do a bit of the panto to get through the auditions and onto the show. But if you watch the interview segments towards the end of the series, they do reveal themselves to be egomaniacal arseholes in most cases!

    School Cleaner Guilty of Sexual Assault

    I don't know where else he could gain access. 50 year old blokes look conspicuous around playgrounds. Even if he was jailed, he'd be back out there at some point, unless he got a life imprisonment (and I don't think anybody would suggest that a reasonable punishment for the crime). He's on the...

    School Cleaner Guilty of Sexual Assault

    'But Judge Richard Griffith-Jones also made him subject to a sexual offences prevention order and banned him from working or seeking work bringing him into contact with children under 16.'

    School Cleaner Guilty of Sexual Assault

    Then you'd be jailed, and you may question whether it was worth it...which bring us back around to considering the severity of offences.

    School Cleaner Guilty of Sexual Assault

    Answered within the article: 'Because of the minor nature of the offence...' and 'He had "never done anything like this before."'

    actually good news?

    Maybe I'm falling for political lip service, but there seemed to be plenty of code in some of today's statements. e.g. 'Council received over six hours of information yesterday regarding the a Ricoh/Wasps takeover, including the potential impact on Coventry City FC any takeover would have...

    What does this actually mean for CCFC though?

    One would think it much more likely. The stadium was always their trump card. It's tough to imagine SISU's investors pouring money and time into a stadium and the squad.

    What does this actually mean for CCFC though?

    I'd bet on a move being made for the football club by the new owners.

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    What is wrong with it being easier to gain an interview if the candidate is of equal merit? We are talking about a rule that guarantees equal opportunity. It does not guarantee a job; it does not promote those out of their depth; it does not take away the decision-making powers of owners; it...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    No. National teams, especially those of an underdog status, want to hire managers with experience of international football. Those managers are invariably white, so the choice is limited. So while the selection is not racist, the breadth of choice highlights the implicit racism across football.

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    The football industry is rather larger than the Blue Mango, and it has to live up to its stated goal of kicking racism out of football. There is an evident problem when black candidates are fifty times (one sacking will make it 100x) less likely to get a shot than a white candidate. Like, really...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    Tbf, Osborne missed just about all of his targets while overseeing the slowest recovery for 300 years; that ain't going to do much for the economy's prospects, debt or otherwise. There are fewer people going mental than there should be.

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    It sounds like you are as susceptible to a good political soundbite as the rest of the people!

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    You cannot compare a restaurant in Earlsdon with the national game and be taken seriously. But I'll play along. I'd assume that is because most small businesses are family-run. And there is enough diversity in the restaurant industry as a whole that it is truly colour-blind. But should the, um...
