There's a man who didn't live through his parents staying together for the kids. People really think that's a healthy environment for kids to grow up in? Danny Kruger's mother is Prue Leith who had a 13 year affair with his father when he was married to his first wife. I wonder if he's ever asked a...

There's a man who didn't live through his parents staying together for the kids. People really think that's a healthy environment for kids to grow up in? Depends on the reasons why the parents are breaking apart. Perhaps why so many marriages fail in some cultures needs to be examined. We do know t...

Looking at that Harry lad I'd say the royals gor Irished a few years back

I was wondering about that. Edit: re Blackmacs post on the revenue they bring. How exactly do they calculate an amount attributed to the royal family? How do they say, if the royals weren’t around, these people wouldn’t have come. Just curious. I mean most tourists go to London to see the buildings...

Any thoughts on the Sue Gray/Labour story? Even if they’re both totally innocent of any wrongdoing getting into the situation in the first case seems careless and unnecessary. It does seem careless at best. It tends to be someone so organised and knows the book like Starmer is suppsoed ot be, it do...

Almsot Rugby pass is claiming John Mitchell will take over form Middleton in a move nobody saw coming at all. Great tos ee the RFU are going big. Be interesting if he's the right guy. What is his actual claim to fame in recent years? I’d be more interested to see someone who’s an actual thinking pe...

I used to really enjoy the back and forth and slightly pantomime element to it but it has got to the stage where it is pointless and embarrassing. If they are not held to account on actually answering questions, what's the point. I also hate the "Mabel from Durham can't pay her bills" bol...

In 2016 Carney said the following about inflation once Brexit actually happened in what turned out to be 2020 For all the Lawson luvvies this was his response We all know what has happened the UK's employment date since 2020. We all know whats happened it's economy. It was basically sabotage and cu...

Twickenham was excellent yesterday. Really good crowd, much more interested in the rugby than the usual braying Twickenham arseholes. Decent game as well, the french comeback was excellent. The historical aspect of the game also seemed to mean a lot to people. Although if you were an academic resea...

I posted months (years?) back Starmer was minimising the attack surface for the tabloids to nothing, which means going along with all the tabloid narratives (and I don't mean the Mirror). So she's done then. There are some problems though: #1 As I outlined in a post (last week?), when the Tories ha...

Englands bench options are also ridiculous too, most of whom could easily be starters. When you think of who is still missing, Scarrett, Cleal, Infante, Ward, they are just getting stronger. We could do with Packer, Cleal and Cokayne all being fit for the France game. Packer, in particular, has an ...

The issue is Starmer is a fair lightweight as well. You know politics is broken when you have two people who have been very successful in their chosen fairly prestigious fields and resort to calling each other "Sir Softy" and "peado apologist" etc. It's just ridiculous, I'd end ...

In 2016 Carney said the following about inflation once Brexit actually happened in what turned out to be 2020 Last month, Bank governor Mark Carney warned that Brexit could tip the UK into recession. He also said a vote to leave the EU could knock the pound sharply lower, stoke inflation and raise ...

It's mostly 3 but also quite a bit of 1, and they both feed off one another. Her early life explains quite a bit of it. Her parents were lefty extremists and took her on demonstrations, she didn't end up sharing their politics, but does share their extremist style. When she was a student Lib Dem at...

Finally caught up on Picard. 1 season was 'meh'. The 2nd worse. The 3rd season is the godly re-union of 90s Trek any one who every watched it as a kid will love and I'm not even a Trekie. My missus is watching the 3rd season now and from what I can tell it is a total nostalgia-fest that doesn't nec...

Low personal taxes do stimulate economic growth , but has to be bottom up and not trickle down (which doesn’t really exist). I beleive trickle down did work soemwhat. But not in a global system where money can go oevrseas. basically when it was enacted by Thatcher and Reagan it was bunk. Also, to b...

So where are the Tories going to get all these nurses doctors and teachers from? What a bunch of chancers Yeah exactly - more of a focus on maths and related disciplines e.g. statistics is essential for the future economy. It will never be delivered as the Tories can't train or retain teachers espe...

Some pretty big speculation flying around twitter and WhatsApp groups suggesting the SNP will become insolvent this coming week. And that a new SIP party (Independence replacing national) will be formed. Surely a load of nonsense? The SNP do not have enough cash or income to continue spending at pr...

This all going well for Yousaf today then? :lol: :lol: Today was meant to be the day Humza Yousaf, the new SNP leader and Scottish first minister, performed a government relaunch. He is due to address the Scottish parliament this afternoon to set out his priorities for Scotland. Kate Forbes and Ash...

Also this post gives a hint why the union have been keen to see the last lot of players depart the international scene. https://forum.planetrugby.com/viewtopic.php?t=48&start=495560#p7516890 I didn’t say this on here at the time because she was still working there, but my missus ran weddings an...

If there was one I doubt it. As someone with no love at all for her. 1. Who cares. She has a right to a private life. 2. She and her husband have enough money for a £100k+ loan to be insignificant to their finances to a point she "forgot" when her husband made it. 3. She will have enough ...

It's about the worst kept secret in Holyrood and I'm fairly certain that no ever suggested a trans partner. 😂 That's news to me, just like her partner was Judy Murray was news to me when it was stated on PR. You are a simple minded fool though believing that bollocks. I should have just stopped aft...

RIP a total legend. Amazing he had all time classic records from the Carpenters to Aretha Franklin. I'm a tad fond of his work with Elvis Costello

Though his work with Dionne Warwick was special:

let me just put a Star of David on an inflatable pig during a gig and then claim it's not anti-semitic Particularly dumb since I believe his stance is anti-Israeli (and plenty of us can get behind that) rather than anti-Jewish and he must be aware of both the distinction and the impact of his confl...

Given the outside interests were pretty much exclusively why they broke the cap then I suggest you're mistaken. Saracens never paid more in salaries than the cap allowed. And you're wrong about imports as well, or at least it was never as high as you think. For example, Sale have imported far more ...

Yep, 100%. However, CVC are now taking nearly 30% of the commercial income that the Premiership generates. And in return for that they have to do nothing. Zip. There's now simply not enough pie left after their cut to split 13 ways. Even 10 ways is probably too much. CVC will effectively replace ab...

Not really. Virtually all the best players at Saracens were developed by Saracens from their teenage years. And doesn't a little bit of you think it's actually a good idea to encourage players to start their own businesses, be entrepreneurial and have interests outside of rugby? We need more clubs ...
