Yes, I know. I am only saying from my perspective about alcohol compared to smoking. We live in a hypocritical society. I don’t deny that. I think the point is addiction. Personally I know I won’t be addicted to alcohol, but others can be and this is harmful to society. I don’t agree with our...

Yeh and we saw how that turned out in China in the 19th century. Now China are basically doing the same to the US but Fentanyl instead. 👍

🤔 where did you get that from? Have you not watched Trainspotting? And Paula Yates and her daughter both dying from overdosing. Nasty drug they got hooked on. Just that it's legal and prohibition has been shown to not work. I am thankful that I am unlikely to be an alcoholic because of my...

You’re right there’s no real safe level of alcohol. Different countries have different recommendations on weekly limits. Here it’s 14 units a week, and days off inbetween, whereas in Canada it’s 2 standard drinks a week. I suffer from the Asian flush but do enjoy a beer or two still but try to...

What was Silva thinking? And Lunin must have done his HW on him.

Murdoch could close one his top selling newspapers on the back of hacking; pay off $700m in US for defamation. Odious indeed!

And out go both English clubs.

The problem with your argument like most who argue for freedom of smokers are being infringed and it should be up to adults to choose is that tobacco smoking has zero benefits and all downsides. You can argue abstractly all you like, but most Democratic societies are moving towards an outright...

Apparently her reaction to the Queen dying two days after she anointed her PM was “why me?” Got to go down as one of the least self-aware comments since Ashley Cole only being offered £50k a week by Arsenal and almost crashing his car.

My mum would use the “gei mo so” which is feather duster to whack me and my sister. But then a lot of ethnic minorities will continue to beat their children in private as discipline. Passed down by generations.

That’s our legal system for you. Those with the means get their justice and can bleed those with not as much. It’s all a big game.
