Seriously, guys, do a co-promotion. I promise, you can only benefit, both as groups and personally.

Indeed, any board is nothing without its posters, who are themselves all individuals. But to the OP, I suppose part of the answer is that some of the more vocal posters on this board are also fairly politically minded (or, as in my case, may have become involved in party politics at more senior leve...

Goodness! And there was me innocently trying, in my gauche fashion, to provoke a simple, optimistic discussion of great Britons who are alive today, and look what it started! RedCelt, I like you. I mean, IRL I hate you and everything you stand for, but on The Sinner, I like you. You're good for this...

I wonder, who do people think is the second-greatest living Briton? I'm specifying 'second-greatest' because there can be no suggestion that the greatest is anyone other than the Queen, but for the second-greatest there's presumably everything to play for. Personally I'm torn between Baroness Margar...

We do seem to be straying rather off-topic here. Sen, was your post a response to me, or to macgamer? I'm pretty sure it couldn't have been me, given that my point was that the girl was over 16 anyway, so the question did not arise. But I do agree with LonelyPilgrim that childhood, at least as far a...

Thank you for your measured, reasoned, engaging post. Please don't take this in the wrong way, but as I'm sure you're aware the duty of the Students' Association officers and members is only to do what they honestly believe to be the right and best thing, and although public opinion, so far as it ca...

That does not sound very charitable. Surely the lack of a sex life at 14 should be commended, it addresses directly the cause of the problem that everyone in society acknowledges needs to be solved. She wasn't 14, the previous commentator was exaggerating. It's hard to be precise but she was certai...

This is hardly an example of unfair, cuthroat competition. Indeed, if the Hispanic Society wanted to be enterprising about it, they'd turn the situation to their advantage by having a word with the Hall Committee and try to find ways to work together. They could easily co-promote the two events as s...

I was shocked when I heard that question, and equally shocked by the girl who looked about 14 who gave an opinion on the matter and suggested a purity ring movement in the country. I was very tempted to start arguing with the tv for how wrong and very Daily Mail the initial question was. That girl ...

I'm sorry, David, as much as I disagree with the motives of the incubators, or whatever they've called themselves now, and as much as I agree with everything else you've written, it's your crusade against international law I have to disagree with. This is not a UNSC resolution here, this is from th...

No kidding! Harperson really outdid herself on this one. Here's Andrew Lilico's take: http://conservativehome.blogs.com/centreright/2009/03/who-on-earth-or.html Yet curiously, as the article also notes, even Brown realises she went too far this time: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/mar/02/br...

I'm imagining an irate Bean right now. Sorry to rain on your parade, but if I were a Jakks Pacific figure, I'd totally be The Undertaker. The PSC is not 'self-selecting', it uses the same principles of consensus-based democratic participation that OneWorld uses. As such, its no different to the EI ...

It's not a conspiracy theory; all you have to do is switch on BBC News, and it's right there in front of you!

Wait a minute. Are you guys seriously saying that the University has agreed to let a member of the self-selecting Palestinian Solidarity Campaign sit on an important university committee dealing with the ethics of research links? If so, that's a total bloody scandal! Were I still a student I'd be da...

Surely the real scandal was the government stooge Robert Peston breaking this story on his masters' behalf, cynically timed to distract attention from the billions upon billions of pounds of our money being extended to the Royal Bank to bail out its irresponsible debts, with no plan in sight for get...

Did anyone else see the question on Question Time last night about this? As I recall it ran something along the lines of: "If teenage pregnancy rates are increasing, why should we have to pay their benefits when they can easily avoid getting pregnant in the first place?" Of course everyone...

How appropriate!

Oops, I misread - that or it was a Freudian typo. Either way, I'm glad you understand

I'm sorry, Thalia, I didn't mean to upset you! On reflection I'm almost certain the little chap was only engaging in a kittenlike game of 'chicken', and shortly after the photograph was taken - destined no doubt to be framed as an example of his bravery to impress the ladycats - went merrily back to...

I'm sorry, but that press release the mob let out, and Harry's subsequent message, was a pile of lies. First of all, the University made no concession whatsoever on the non-Palestinian Eden Springs issue: the statement said that they intend to monitor the sustainability of the products it's supplied...

Good work by the European Society in getting him up, I'd say, but a poor show by the hecklers.
