300,000 people 65+ are still working in this country. That figure is only going to rise.

We will lose the NHS (either under Labour or the Conservatives) if it continues in it's present vein. Something has to give. Ditto for the pension system. I, like many others, would benefit if I could draw my pension at 65. But I also know the system would go bankrupt if that were the case. I...

Yes, people who earn more pay more tax. But how much more is the question. The current rate of high income tax is 45%. Ed Milliband proposed 52%. Under Harold Wilson it was 83%. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones along with thousands of others left England because of it. My point being, you...

Max, you seem to excuse and abdicate responsibility at every turn. If someone uses the NHS they should pay for it. I don't mind NI contributions on top of this. But what I do mind is people thinking they can use the NHS to try out every legal high available, under the guise of mental health or...

The American people believe the golden days of the American 50's and 60's could return. That era was built on an abundance of American sourced oil. Now it's virtually gone. The Saudi oil, America uses primarily to fund the petrodollar is dwindling. The Saudis are at war with Yemen for access to...

Trump was right to say the election will be rigged. Hillary has already won this. It was decided a long time ago.

The BBC have it as £37m. Although I suspect that's without add ons. A talented 20 year old for that price is good business. Even if he doesn't work out, City won't lose out on the fee in years to come. This is a win win.

Max, you mentioned the Conservative drive to demonise those on benefits. But what you fail to note is many on benefits voted for the Tories and UKIP. Surely my sympathies shouldn't lie with them? The NHS needs funding. The government doesn't want to keep funding it and the people don't want...

I'm a life long Labour supporter and I'm too far right of the party. That's how far left Labour's front bench are. I strongly disagree with you over where the electorate are. They're on the centre right, if not the right. The last election should've made this crystal clear. Max, Millband lost...

I'll answer each in turn. 1. It can't. 2. Spend more on welfare. 3. No significant policy changes. 4. There isn't one. This actually endears him to his core support. He isn't seen as a media darling. 5. See answer 2. 6. The electorate are too far to the right of Labour to win over. 7. See...

When Saltire is right, it's best to savour the moment. As you can't predict when it'll happen again. :)

Oi you. Hands off our Hen.

No player is shit. Not even Wayne "Poor Game" Rooney. All players are diamonds in the rough until they take their opportunity to shine. Harry Kane showed no real promise when loaned out to Norwich or Leicester City. You could've brought him for a million back then. But under Pochettino he has...

It's either my phone or the site, but I was trying to do just that.

Your rationale implies exclusivity. If you want to buy Ronaldo, you have pay whatever the seller wants. At the tier of player we're discussing, there are cheaper alternatives. Neither is every football club flushed with cash (despite the new tv deal). Many clubs are up to their neck in near...

The inflation argument still rests on value and the buyer's willingness to pay. If an estate agent slaps on a £500k valuation on a property in a run down part of town and no one buys the property. The £500k is only worth anything in an accounts ledger.

If Benteke is so bad, why hasn't his market value dropped after a sub par season? Stevencc can talk. His lot pay a striker £300k a week to do sweet F A. They also got a midfielder on £180k a week, for doing the same thing. Nice work if you can get it!

Trust me when I say, I don't need you to tell me that.

I think if we didn't take the £30m from Crystal Palace, we're going to keep him.

Wasn't Mandela a terrorist at one point? The U.S.A's actions in Libya and Syria would be defined as terrorism. Yet we're still allies with them. What about Saudi Arabia's unprovoked war with Yemen. Yet we still blindly support them. If the IRA had access to enough oil or had the military might...
