Now you're just being silly Res. Just out of curiosity I went into the site (I avoid doing that these days) and checked. Seven Cardiff reports compared with three of the Swans. This on a day when Cardiff lost miserably at home while the Swans played very well getting a draw away against a play off team. |

Wembley of course. My sister, brother-in-law and their two children travelled from Hertford to meet up and support the Swans. Great day. |

As far as I can see moving him to RB was simply because it gave the goalkeeper an out by playing a high ball out to the right wing with him pushing forward. We know we can't do that down the middle so simple pragmatism. |

I paid for a season parking at the P&R and used it once. It took me best part of an hour to get out. |

Talk TV is closing ? The way you've phrased it it could be Fox. As I say, not all the presenters are as bad as the ones I mentioned. And even they aren't bad all the time. But there are many glaring examples of complete bias. And there's no harm in having a number of news channels, not just BBC and ITV. But they definitely need proper scrutiny. |

The reason for my question is this. There have been many threads where the BBC has been criticized with most people accusing them of a left wing bias. I don't know it for a fact but i'd imagine that the setting up of Talk TV and others was to provide some sort of balance. The left wing accusation may be fair in many people's eyes but what I see and hear with the BBC is a reasonably balanced attitude. If you think about the political programmes - Newsnight, Question Time, Daily Politics - the guests they have are evenly balanced between left and right. And each are given a roughly equal time to put forward their views. Not only that but the presenter corrects what is said if factually incorrect. Fiona Bruce on QT is not exactly lauded for her efforts but one thing she does regularly is put people right when they say something simply incorrect. She has the facts to hand in front of her and quotes the correct figures or statement to balance the incorrect comment just made. Contrast that with Talk TV. Not all the presenters are the same but i've found Mike Graham to be particularly useless in providing any sense of fairness similar to my QT comments above. Example. A woman rang in from Yorkshire to talk about immigration. She villified the Tories but then said Labour would be even worse. She said that Labour would have a completely open door approach to immigration and that all those immigrants would go to the top of the list for housing ahead of British people. Both of those statements are complete lies but Mike Graham said nothing. Then the other day a man name of Trevor Kavanagh, political reporter from the Sun talking again about immigration said that it was all the fault of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Seriously. That's what he said even though they left office 14 years ago. This time the brains of Britain running the show for Talk TV were none other than JON's favourite Alex Phillips and Kevin O'Sullivan. Not a comment from either of them about that statement. During the noughties under Labour net migration varied around 200/250/350 K. That was maintained from 2010 to 2019 under the Conservatives with a drop during COVID and then shot up in 2022 to 750,000. So 14 years after they left office that 750,000 figure for 2022 is the fault of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Neither Alex or Kevin thought they should say anything to contradict the utterly incorrect statement from this Kavanagh bloke. And he's got form for this because whatever he utters is completely anti Labour. This sort of thing is the reason for my original question. Keith said Talk TV has it's place but what's the point of it even having a place when there's absolutely no attempt at balance by many of their presenters. |

Re Water companies. The utilities were sold off in 1989 free of debt. Now the debts are £60 billion. During this time they have paid out £72 billion in dividends. I don't understand the ramifications of allowing them to go bust. But if that does happen and the Government takes them back into public ownership then those same shareholders will receive something silly like 1p in the pound. And even that's too much |

It really baffles me why people fail to accept the basics of the situation. The legislation came out in 1995 or so which could (note the word could) have given the WASPI women plenty of time to prepare for 2010. If the Government had communicated this properly then there'd have been no problem. But they didn't. And the reports into what happened have confirmed this. So the women are doing exactly what they should, bringing the Government to account. Conflating this situation with other things like the State Pension Age having been different for men and women in the past is nothing to do with this. |

Being able to laugh at yourself and not taking yourself too seriously is always a good thing. As you just did . Followed by good advice to anyone reading this. |
