Keep calm and carry on. You're British, aren't you?

A surprisingly thoughtless effort from you, Paxman.

Nah. One helps the situation, the other doesn't.

Don't pray; send money.

Your memory must be sub-par. The likes of Cranie, Westwood and Gunnarsson walked for free; they should have been sold.

Just not true.

Football club sells two players it purchased. With breaking news like that, I'm surprised the entire fanbase didn't see the light.

It is known as the Monty Hall problem. Here is a YouTube clip, from an Alan Davies-led documentary, demonstrating the profitable results of swapping boxes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_djTy3G0pg

It is telling that the likes of America and Australia have not imposed the restrictions on international students that the UK has. As a result we are seeing less income, fewer people to take on the high-skill jobs where we have a shortage, and we're losing some of the best brains in the world to...

I ignored them for a few reasons: 1. They are completely irrelevant to our discussion. 2. You are making partisan attacks based on a hatred of Labour; we cannot have a serious discussion if you think all Labour governments act alike within the same environment. It's a little like the attacks...

Of course illegal immigration has an effect, but we need to determine how much of an effect and whether it matches the hysteria we're seeing from Ukip. I'm just asking for numbers to justify your fears. OK. So how much do these undocumented immigrants cost the country? The number of dodgy...

Do you have a hard number for how much they are costing the country? You have answered your own question there. It should not be a cause of concern though - it is surely better to be a country that people aspire to come to rather than one people wish to escape. Immigration, if anything, is a...

Exactly what do you think Hollande's plan is (and don't say "well, he's socialist, so a socialist plan")? And if you aren't for austerity and aren't for a stimulus, exactly what is your solution? The debt left by the Tories in 1997 was 42% of GDP. Labour had reduced it to 35% of GDP by the...

That is the message they peddle. It is simple, and a scared audience can latch onto it. But are you familiar with the laws that we've had rebuffed by Europe? Or, more alarmingly for the average worker, the rights that would no longer be guaranteed if we dispensed with European law? Not true...

Of course I'm not suggesting that. I am saying - and will repeat - that Ukip is a one issue party that focuses on Johnny Foreigner. If Ukip don't fit the bill of a xenophobic party, then tell me what kind of party would! The trouble with all the immigration carnival barking is that it leads to...

Ukip is a one issue party that effectively says the UK's woes can be resolved by shutting out the foreigners. If not racist - and they are in the traditional territory of the far-right - then xenophobic.

A sloppy, scattergun and partisan response filled with digressions. I'll be as succinct as I can. A cherry-picked statistic that gleefully overlooks any kind of social, economic or political context. How about growth? The Darling plan. One opposed by Ed Balls. Labour disagrees. They...

There is every reason for a government to act differently. The comparison of a government - with all its financial levers, printing press, central bank - to a household is just another of the disingenuous arguments made by the coalition. Any economist will tell you it's a duff analogy. Debt...

Nothing here that takes your fancy? http://www.euromove.org.uk/index.php?id=15296

If it was a mainstream idea it would have been implemented. Brown put the kibosh on it. As for the EU, it is a sticky topic right now, but eventually the chatter of federalism will pick up. Has to. Some truth to this. Osborne did a first-rate hatchet job on the legacy of Brown, Balls and...
