Dogs are amazing, huge leveller. No matter how posh, rich, poor you are, you still have to pick up their poo. |

Am I the plonker in the middle of one of the one carrying you off from the force of my argument ? |

Ireland are a class apart, Wales created quite a lot in the second half but game was over then. Think we can take the Scots |

I grew up watching Crown Court at dinner time when I was young, Kavanagh QC, LA Law, This Life . Persuading people to see your point of view. I like to think I’ve helped a lot of vulnerable people over the years, especially care home kids. I’ve helped to steer them away from drug use, and secured acquittals for numerous people I genuinely believed were innocent, one where the complainant admitted during cross exam that she was lying. I’ve represented a lot of people like the kids I grew up with. Sure I’ve represented a lot of not so nice people but that’s not always the case.
I’ve also prosecuted a lot of very nasty people and sat and held the hand of witnesses after trial and seen the look of relief in their eyes when told it’s over.
I love my job, it’s very stressful, spend time away from home and often work 20 hour days, but I can’t think of anything I’d rather do. I get to work with some incredible barristers, solicitors and judges all dedicated to trying to ensure justice is done in a crumbling system.
There are so many brilliant people, far better than I, who are desperate to do the job I do but can get a foot on the ladder. I hope that someone may see someone from my background, with my accent and no connection to the law that they can do it too. |

I’d be very much surprised if Starmer hasn’t had unofficial talks with other European leaders about rejoining . 18 m to GE, say 18 months in he will start testing the waters about closer arrangements, rejoining.
Far easier for the government that didn’t take us out to rejoin. They’ll argue they are making strides in repairing damage but have to have closer ties to get back on track.
At the moment they need to get in government |

Maybe folk are getting more benefit from reading others posts and possibly don’t feel comfortable |

In the same way as supermarket appeals, I find it insulting that a football club staffed by millionaires are asking fans to contribute. People will, because people are kind, but a small percentage of the player's wages for a couple of week would negate this |

Yes, big difference between giving someone a clout and going for the eye |

Gats can be ruthless. He's a very clever rugby man. Need to use this 6N as a stepping stone. Maybe not all the kids at once, but certainly need to start building. |
