I think I used the word medieval but it was to describe the regime (which as I understand it is basically feudal), not the people. I dont think I used the word savages. The Saudi royal family preside over an abhorrent and backward regime....in particular their attitude to human rights, protest, religious freedom, women, foreign workers and crime/punishment. Plus I believe they're implicated in funding terrorism (altho I havent seen the evidence). My Dad worked in Saudi for 2 years, and I know people who've worked in Qatar and Dubai. All of these places sound lime they have repressive governments but Saudi sounds like the worst. You couldnt pay me enough to live there tbh. To play the racist card or talk about relativity to the US is strawman stuff imo. For the record, I disagree with the death penalty in the US, which I also think is abhorrent and backward in this respect (regardless of how they kill their criminals).

Coke was originally sold as a tonic I believe. Imagine the disappointment when they replaced the cocaine with caffeine and sugar.

Bill Clinton: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman. But FTM anyway"

Well played sir. Perfectly put.

I dont believe in the death penalty full stop. The Saudis are a repugnant brutal regime with a medieval attitude to punishment. I really dont know what youre on about with this tbh

Where's the "shake it all about" voting option?

agreed

must win tbh

Rodham? He certainly did

She has the look of Sue Barlow but the appalling glasses suggest Hillary Clinton

I'll get me coat

I'd want Bobby Shafto in as well as Matip

What's the point of a player who's hardly ever fit?

good on you Stevie

You can add the likes of google and starbucks etc to that list. However those are long running structures and will become much more difficult if measures proposed by the OECD are implemented. There will then be less of an incentive for UK companies to dodge tax especially with a low tax rate....although the worst are american companies and the IRS seems to tolerate this for some reason

They don't need to tax dodge any more, the corporation tax rate is so low.

Tax credits are inefficient and in certain circumstances a disincentive to work. We have them here in NZ. However they're there for a reason and if they're not replaced by income then already hard up people will suffer disproportionately. I doubt the income will be replaced by companies simply paying people more so a slash and burn approach on its own will just penalise the poor. I don't know what the tories are doing and I can't be arsed to look it up bit I doubt very much the private sector will do anything to replace the lost money.

its the circle of liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife

This is the sort of bad luck that gets you relegated. I'm beginning to think McLaren is cursed.

That "set of tools" looks like a load of old rocks to me. Maybe even the archaeologists make it up as they go along.

Always have the vague feeling that a criminal's escaped justice when one of them pops off. In Leon Brittan's case that seems to be literally true.

Another one from CT's halcyon days has gone upstairs to give account for his actions. Apparently he was the kindly one Errr RIP and that

Yes Gemmill

I think they took the record of the mackems Hippo head is like Pardew, they leave us and rewrite history to ignore their crap football. I've no fear of him going to the mackems, they're made for each other. He'll buy another load of old journey men and might keep them up, but will be terrible to watch and waste loads more money. Like he did with us in fact.
