Do you buy a daily newspaper?There is no way I will subscribe to current MAM print media. They are owned by right wing elites and parrot whatever policies and strategies they believe will keep them in power and making moneyViewDate:

Would you ‘Bung a bob for a Big Ben bong’ on Brexit night?The Tories created the Brexit debacle and divided the country for 40 months. The Tories can find the money for a celebration too.ViewDate:

Did Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview make his predicament better or worse?Lor at, if you are a man of middle age and you are intending to have sex with a young woman who appears to be 18, then, as you say, since girls of under 18 can dress and seem older it seems to me to be incumbent on you to make sure they are what they say they are, rather than accepting what they say. Given what the penalties are I suggest it is definitely the experienced man's problem, not the girls. Anything else is just victim shaming.ViewDate:

Would you like a general election?We are three years down the line from the last referendum - we have many young men and women who couldn't vote then but can now, who are effectively disenfranchised. We need a referendum before a general election, asking whether the electorate want Johnson's deal, or to stay in the EU. Then we need a General Election to discuss all those other matters of politics that we have forgotten about for the last three years - Education, the NHS, policing, local government funding and so on and so forth.ViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?What you have been seeing IS democracy in action - 635 or so elected people discussing and trying to agree what our leaving the EU looks like. The fact that you don’t like it taking so long shows your lack of understanding of how complex the issue is. If it takes another few months what does it matter to us all? Let’s get it right!ViewDate:

Would you support the MPs call for over 40s to pay a social care premium?The only reason the NHS is creaking is that successive Tory and New Labour governments (same thing as Tories) have loaded the system down with debt (PFI and PPP contracts) and refused to tax their buddies to fund it properly. What needs to happen now is that industry and particularly the financial services sector should be taxed to pay for the necessary increases.ViewDate:

Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?This is just another attempt by a far right think tank to put up spurious cases for taxing the many while ensuring the few pay minimum amounts of tax on their excessive incomes.ViewDate:

English GrammarIt is said that Newcastle (well Northumbrian) is the purest version of English language there is. It is closer to the original English language than anywhere else in the country. Everywhere else speaks a bastardised version wholly varied by external influences. Just because it is not 'The Queen's English' spoken with received pronuciation does not make it a lesser language. It is, I believe, accepted that people living now would not understand the language, usage and nuancing that was used 150 years ago even. That just shows how alive and vibrant our English language is. We shouldn't try to tie it down with rules and regulations (while they do help us to understand the language now)ViewDate:
