I think this is a good result. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/02/frank-bruno-boxing-comeback-dashed When I heard that he wanted to return to the ring, I thought it sounded like a terrible...
The only other time I recall something like this happening was when Billy Bragg demanded that the BNP stop selling his music at their gatherings. Once material is in 'the public domain', do artists...
Lemmy, Bowie, Glenn Frey, and now Colin Vearncombe - who you'll know as the singer of one of the greatest songs of the 80s 'Wonderful Life' (as the act Black). I've just heard about this, and feel...
When I first read this, I thought it was a bit wrong...but then I thought about it for a minute...why should adult dependents 'inherit' their parents' council houses after they die? Shouldn't this...
Should a man who openly supported the political wing of the IRA be taken seriously when he talks of combatting terrorism, or is it simply that the world has 'good terrorists' and 'bad terrorists'?...
The BBC are getting it in the neck because it's only broadcasting eight hours of Christian-themed programmes in the run up to Christmas. Is this a fair criticism, or a reflection of the secularisation...

This is a tragic case, which [i]seems[i] to have resulted in a very light sentence, but even so wouldn't introducing retests for drivers over 70 be a bit draconian? Especially when you consider that...
Over the past few years, there's been a growing trend by some commentators to blame, or at least partly blame women for rape and sexual assault. Now this Canadian judge has asked an assault victim...
Do we really need to know any more? Would you be happier letting your memories of him fade, or do you think there's value in the BBC producing this documentary?...
Who are the longest serving member of AB? Do you have stats on who has been here the longest? In the old days, there was Oneyedvic, AOG and em10 - but who now should be awarded 'Distinguished Service'...
The V&A were right in my opinion in rejecting her clothes. After seeing their Alexander McQueen, Bowie and Westwood shows, a Thatcher show would seem by limited (very few 'iconic' items). So where...
When I was younger, I used to casually watch things like 'Survival' on ITV. But over the past few years, the quality of the BBC's natural history shows have gone through the roof (Patagonia, Africa,...
I think for him, given his background, it makes sense - and I have a degree of sympathy for him, because at this time of year the 'poppy fascists' come out in force. I always buy a few each year (one...
