Zak Polanski "I think in a situation like this, where the Israeli government has to be challenged, to conflate a challenge to the Israeli government and the ethnic cleansing as an attack on British Jews, actually makes me as a Jewish person feel less safe." Well said.

Wareham refused to travel with Exeter to York yesterday. Doesn't look like a loyal, "team first" player. More like a selfish player putting pressure on the club and supporters that pay his wages. I am really pleased, as an Argyle supporter, we didn't go in for him on the transfer market.

player.captivate.fm/episode/292d... The main objection I have to the Royal Family is the privilege that is given - particularly, not having to pay tax (just volunteering an amount of Income Tax and no Inheritance Tax). Why should one of the wealthiest families not pay a fair share?
