According to James O'Brien Netanyahu has been claiming since 1992 that Iran is only a few months away from getting a nuclear bomb. Not true then and not true now.

Should be put on a continuous loop and played at volume 11 every time a Tory is within year shot.

I'm thinking Othello, Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest. All touched on the themes of racism and sexism.

"Dressed as a policeman." Given the current state of US law enforcement he may well be a policeman.

What you as well. Apparently, we need to call the appointments committee "a load of f**king c**ts." It worked for Beckham.

There has never been a better time to re-release Barry McGuire's 1965 hit: The Eve of Destruction.

Allow me a degree of scepticism. Your information comes from The World Nuclear Association, an organization committed to the further use of nuclear energy. Stored for decades is not millennia. The oil petro-chem industrial told us fossil fuels were ok as did tobacco companies with cigarettes.

I remain very concerned about the nuclear power obsession. No one will answer the question of what we do with the waste. Also the Severn Barrage seems to be back on the agenda again. I am all for green energy but not at the expense of a valuable environmental asset.

Another public school boy fronting the self appointed party of the working class. Have they changed the definition of "working class," and did I miss it?

Nailed it girl. By far the most sinister character lurking in the background of US and world politics is Peter Thiel.

Certainly a lead contender although there is a lot of competition.

Tell me about it. This afternoon the BBC News, after covering the return of winter fuel payments, went not her majesties official opposition for comment but to the Riot Meister himself, Nigel Farage.

As a Bristolian can I just say how proud I am that my city is able to embrace its past and own its mistakes. Personally I would have left his statue on the bottom of the harbourside.

A staggering achievement of logistics. Such a shame that man's greatest moments of cooperation only surface during wartime.

What a shambolic organisation is the Reform Party. 5 MPs and they cannot get a consensus of opinion amongst themselves. What a chaotic administration they would form if they ever gained a majority necessary to form a government.

So what? White DNA will continue albeit in a coffee coloured person who will be as proud of their British heritage and history as any pale skinned person. Genetics being what it is pale skinned people will still be born. Looking forward to welcoming my coffee coloured grandchild into the world.

He is wrong. My old head teacher explained when we protested over music or art lessons or some other subject deemed in our ignorance to be unnecessary that his job would be easy if he just prepared us for work but his job was to provide a rounded education enabling us to think for ourselves.

I should have thought starting a fire in a public place is in itself illegal. Should have charged him with arson.

I think we can all come up with at least 2 retrospective abortions that very few would have would have been upset by.

Watched Neil Kinnock 1985 speech today where he accredited everything good in his life (home, education, health) to the policies of Labour governments. Many he said like him benefitted and he was not wrong. I am one of the many and as you wallow in your good fortune just pause and think on that.

Absolutely. This how these people operate with sweeping statements that have no basis in fact. Has he spoken with all the British people. Of course he hasn't. Just an arrogant rich boy who thinks everyone should hold the same opinion as him.

And the Yanks think free speech is under attack here in the UK.

Probably bumped into his ego coming from the opposite direction in a narrow corridor.

Even in the times of Elizabeth I there was system of Poor Relief, based on compulsory rates, and discriminating between the various classes of the needy. It was acknowledged that care for the poor should not only fall on the Church, and the charitable, but on society as a whole. (Trevelyan 1971)

Many recipients of benefits are in work. If employers paid decent wages there would be less need for benefits and there would be no need to raise employers NI payments.

This why I never watch Question Time. The BBC seems to have a bottomless supply of the intellectually challenged. When statements like this are offered these people need to have their stupidity exposed for all to see, not have their tummy tickled. sorry v arrogant but I grow increasingly exasperated
