Strong words from journalist Robert Craddock of the Brisbane-based Courier Mail, which you might remember as the newspaper which vilified Stuart Broad ahead of the 2013-14 Ashes for not walking...
"Don't think for minute this was an isolated moment of madness... it was a team with grubby standards finally descending into a world which was never far away. The coaches knew nothing? Really? What are they coaching for?"
Cricket Australia chief executive officer James Sutherland says he is "shocked and extremely disappointed" and has begun an investigation into the ball-tampering scandal involving the Australian cricket team
The Daily Star breaking massive news tonight which will doubtless knock every political story well into the background .............
Ant & Dec to be "axed" from I'm a Celebrity.
Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark? ITV are hugely dependent on Ant and Dec, who present three flagship shows -- I'm a Celebrity, Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeover. I would not be surprised to learn they are paid more than the Prime Minister.
I agree with you on this point Casino. It's a shame pension age wasnt linked to average life expectancy when the state pension was first introduced - it would have been entirely non-contraversial then. Much harder to introduce now but needs to be done.
The first state pensions in 1908 were means tested and the qualifying age was 70, when average life expectancy was 50. If we had kept that up you would start to get the state pension at 101.
The low life expectancy Centuries ago was substantially due to childhood mortality, maternal mortality and male mortality through violent acts in war. Average 3 people dying at 2 and two at 74 and you wind up with mean life expectancy of 50. Median is a better measure, or mean life expectancy at age 18.

At the end of the day, as we are told repeatedly, the referendum was “advisory”. Any decisions to change course on Brexit are therefore political, not legal issues, and have been superseded by the legal process arising from decisions of the House of Commons. Ironically as a result of Remain campaigners taking the Government to court to force them to take account of the need for Parliamentary validation.

Why doesn't ITV let Dec do the job on hiw own ?
Or does their viewer surveys show that Dec is regarded as the more annoying / less talented of the pairing ?
Tough quesion to answer when few know which is Ant/Dec ...
Verstappen monstered by a Haas... rather underlining the power of the Ferrari engine. (Though Magnussen is no mug.) I'm guessing Morris Dancer didn't wake up in time today ?

I think people describe them as 'the one on the left of the screen' and the 'one on the right of the screen'.

LOCK 'EM UP, LOCK 'EM UP, ....
The argument itself is still true though.
