Perish the thought that I might challenge the views of most of your football mates.

Great... but what does that have to do with replacing Southgate? I'm just trying to understand why you think that replacing him (apparently with no one in particular) will produce better results, not worse ones.

We lost to a team with numerous world class players in it, who scored twice in the final against France. It's certainly true that that we did the usual thing of failing to beat the first big team we came up against in the knockout stages, but at the same time we've done far worse of late than...

I'm fine with Southgate being replaced by a better coach. It's pointless to call for his head without putting a potential replacement forward however.

I'm struggling to follow your logic. The piece doesn't suggest that 40,000 people haven't died from the virus. Although for the sake of an argument you obviously want to have, I would not find it at all surprising if the true figures were not so high, given what we know about how the deaths...

That's a weird thing to ask someone who never said anything remotely like that.

Satirising what the media discourse would look like in an honest world.

I do wonder whether the lockdown has done more harm than good. The difference in mortality rates in places with next to no lockdown is negligible, and we still have no idea how many people will die because illnesses went undiagnosed or untreated in hospitals that are almost deserted. If the...

Declared a pandemic by the WHO.

At this point it seems very unlikely that Euro 2020 is going to happen.

I think it's basically inevitable. You don't want everyone preparing at once though, causes too much of a panic and too much of a strain on supply lines, so you ramp up the warnings gradually.

Accessing broadcast TV without paying for it is the norm. In exchange the BBC should be allowed to run commercials.

The license fee has been unethical for a long time. The only argument ever put forward in support of it is "yeah but look at all the great stuff they make", of which there is not nearly enough in my view. I don't know whether the license fee needs to be scrapped entirely, but I do support the...

The two UK cases were just up the road from me at Castle Hill Hospital. Anyone know where you can buy a cheap hazmat suit? :animatedf:

Wuhan is home to two labs linked to China's bio-warfare program. Probably just a coincidence.
