Mob mentality is very damaging to debate at many levels of society - and the move to ban/curtail free speech because of perceived/imagined offense is very disturbing.
I don't know how to end it - but unless we find a way of restoring a sense of balance to the world, we are heading for a very unpleasant period.
I think that when someone tries to promote their internet hate campaign on here, they should be immediately confronted. That would be a start.
But some people - when confronted - start telling you to check your privilege or accusing you of oppressing them.
Pending his appeal, Evans has been convicted of a serious sexual offence. There are plenty of jobs from which people with such convictions are barred, but footballer isn't one of them.
Still stupid off him and Sheffield to try and pretend nothing had happened, far better he should have tried to get a job in football elsewhere. Doing it that way was always going to end in tears for both of them, sheer arrogance or stupidity or both.
She was born in Great Yarmouth, the daughter of an Austrian father and Filipina mother, who gave her, she says, “an immigrant work ethic” as well as an early love of music. “My dad came over from Austria when he was seven,” she says, “and mum came in the 1960s. The mentality was: ‘We’re here to work.’ If I didn’t work a 16-hour day, I couldn’t look my aunties in the eye. You’ve got to remember many of them are cleaners. There are no silver spoons. We are a family of grafters.”
Evans was found guilty and the decision is..apparently..final The SNP lost the Indyref..and they now want another one..seems some things are more binding than others..
50.001% would have been binding for ever.......
Doddery is all over the place , lunch too much for him as he is now mixing rape cases and referendum votes up , what a prat.

But he hasn't been trying to get a job. His union asked for him to be allowed to train professionally in order to regain his fitness.
He hasn't sought a new contract at this stage.

So we now to only be allowed to debate topics that old two names thinks are right and proper. When you planning to start burning the books JJ. You would not know free speech if you tripped over it.
MG.. so someone who was raised in a very working class environment..learnt to play classical music on a piano..released some succesful discs..made some dosh..joined a successful pop group.. made some more dosh.. became a self made millionaire..and expresses her opinion in a flamboyant way is "Thick..wow.. would that we were all as thick or talented.. The point is that you denied using her selfmade wealth as a weapon against her....
And this against someone living in the UK and paying taxes. Unlike say Sean Connery or Lewis Hamilton even, who do not have to worry about mansion taxes or any taxes since they live abroad outside the UK tax jurisdiction. Maybe we should start an anti Connery petition, or just a plain anti hypocrite petition. What a relief for poor Myleen that she never called anybody a 'ting tong'. Can you imagine the outcry?
Gordon will of course retire having banked three great achievements:-

Get another job elsewhere in football? As I understand it, after the Twitter Frighteners were put on Sheffield - he's been told he can't get a job overseas either in football.
If his own friends can't give him a job - what hope does he have that another will take him on - evah? Not many.

You are so bitter and twisted you cannot even tell the truth. Connery paid millions in tax in the UK and had a charity here as well. last I heard it was not compulsory to live in the UK and that people could choose where they wanted to live within certain parameters. Also how do you know she pays tax you dullard. Where the "ting tong " fits or means I have no clue , whole reply is barking.

Well it must be the media misrepresenting then as they said that he was asking to train and was looking to sign a £500K contract. I don't actually speak to him personally , do you.

A confiscatory levy such as the mansion tax won’t raise much money, but sends a message to the most enterprising and productive people in society that they would be better off elsewhere"
She also raised the issue of fiscal drag. Don't underestimate the woman!
Or do the twitter mob think she should just be a pretty girl selling frocks and singing pop songs? Heaven forbid she expresses political views. Leave that politics for the men dear, and put the kettle on!

There should be no room for people and their internet hate campaigns on here. Its obviously far too post modern to start a campaign against them.
Well, it's been a miserable week for Ed Miliband. Surely the white-van thing can't drag on for another week, but even if it doesn't Ed's unwitting endorsement of the sentiment it was claimed to epitomize may now be all but impossible to displace. Where does Labour go from here? It could turn its fire on Myleene Klass to regain some momentum, but that might seem petty and not befitting a national party. There's the Budget next year where Ed could reassert himself. But on previous form - with Ozzy bestriding such occasions like a colossus - I'm not hopeful. I don't know.

Apart from anecdotal amusement, these big turnouts partly reflect the proximity to Labour's fortress in Nottingham - we get lots of helpers from there. I wonder if proximity to strongholds is another factor in the marginal assessment - I'm convinced that we held our two by-elections near Manchester partly because of activists pouring out of the city. Conversely it will be easier going for the Tories where they have strong neighbouring seats.
If anyone is really interested in how much tax Myleene Klass has paid, they could check the accounts of her company (AvaHero Ltd, now closed, or her new company HarperBailey Ltd, due to post accounts in September)

You have been saying these sorts of stories will make no difference for quite a while now. So the decline in Ed's ratings is just a coincidence, is it?

Still stupid off him and Sheffield to try and pretend nothing had happened, far better he should have tried to get a job in football elsewhere. Doing it that way was always going to end in tears for both of them, sheer arrogance or stupidity or both.
It's a very difficult case and he maintains his innocence. I still don't understand how a woman can have sex with two men, one after another, and be sober enough to give consent to one but not the other.

FWIW, my view is that the encounter with Klass did him no harm at all, given that what she said was rather stupid and nonsensical. However, the Thornberry business has been a massive own goal, and his handling of it just demonstrates that he is an effing disaster of a leader.

I put up a 40' flag pole in my garden when flying the St George's flag was all over the press as some BNP emblem. I saw red and thought Eff Em. I'm English and very proud of it.
So order placed, put it together [plastic covered aluminium] and dug a hole for the base/poured concrete - and fiddled about in the freezing rain trying to work out how to fix the toggles/guides. Cost about £250 IIRC - I lowered the flag for sad occasions, but otherwise one flew for 15yr until I moved. It was Platoland.
I think I went through about 6 flags during that time - all naval quality, not the flimsy things sold in supermarkets. I was very proud of it. It was quite a talking point at first as it was so unusual. I'm very pleased that it's become commonplace.

"I still don't understand how a woman can have sex with two men, one after another, and be sober enough to give consent to one but not the other."
Socrates, I came new to this case when this week's story blew up, so I read up on some of the legal press stories. I had the same question, but the answer seems to be that MacDonald's longer interaction with her, in picking her up at the fast food place, inviting her back to the hotel and inviting her to have sex was judged by the jury to have been more reasonable assumption of both consent and capacity to give consent that merely a 'mind if I join in?'

For digitising DVDs there's some excellent software called 'MakeMKV'. As it's in beta (and has been for years) it's free too. It also handles Blu-Rays. You can then play the MKV files back using something like XBMC (now called Kodi) which is free too.
Mike - the last sentence of your fifth paragraph appears to be cut off prematurely. It should of course read "The SNP voted with the Tories, as did the numerically more significant Liberals"

PS @DavidL - I think it was you who recommended giffgaff after your son subscribed for his new mobile - it's brilliant! He's got an excellent nose for a great deal and superb customer service

I put up a 40' flag pole in my garden when flying the St George's flag was all over the press as some BNP emblem. I saw red and thought Eff Em. I'm English and very proud of it.
So order placed, put it together [plastic covered aluminium] and dug a hole for the base/poured concrete - and fiddled about in the freezing rain trying to work out how to fix the toggles/guides. Cost about £250 IIRC - I lowered the flag for sad occasions, but otherwise one flew for 15yr until I moved. It was Platoland.
I think I went through about 6 flags during that time - all naval quality, not the flimsy things sold in supermarkets. I was very proud of it. It was quite a talking point at first as it was so unusual. I'm very pleased that it's become commonplace.
Props to anyone with this talent, @MrsB of this parish does great limericks and poems.

Socrates, I came new to this case when this week's story blew up, so I read up on some of the legal press stories. I had the same question, but the answer seems to be that MacDonald's longer interaction with her, in picking her up at the fast food place, inviting her back to the hotel and inviting her to have sex was judged by the jury to have been more reasonable assumption of both consent and capacity to give consent that merely a 'mind if I join in?'

Glad to sort that out.
