Why does football need a state regulator? Are we some Warsaw Pact dictatorship or insecure Latin American junta where sport is a matter of government prestige?

RT @cultfree54: Putin is losing for some of the same reasons that Bonaparte and Hitler lost, not least the superiority of the Anglosphere’s money markets. Britain & the US are better than their rivals at financing wars. Russia will be bled dry before Ukraine gives up.

If @Miss_Snuffy’s critics visited her extraordinary school, they would change their tune.

The idea that we are destroying children’s freedom is absurd.

Self control needs to be taught and habitualised.

It really is one rule for Boris and one for everyone else. It is inconceivable, literally inconceivable, that any other group of keyworkers would be fined for eating cake between meetings - let alone two years after the event. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/23/boris-johnson-did-not-lie-parliament-labour-knows/

Quite right. It would be absurd to fine someone for having dinner nearly two years ago. What kind of police force would pursue such a case? What kind of prissy, puritanical, censorious bore would want them to?
RT @Mike_Fabricant: Jeremy #Corbyn won't be fined for breaking rule of six at dinner party.
Scotland Yard confirmed the MP will not be fined, saying police will not retrospectively enforce coronavirus laws.

So we're supposed to believe that Ukraine waited eight years until Russia had massed 140,000 troops on the border, and then picked that moment to launch an assault on the Donbas? 🤔
RT @Browney86195309: @DanielJHannan @AllisonPearson Perhaps the increase in shelling by the Ukrainians 2 months ago might also be at fault??

I think @Keir_Starmer’s explanation here is completely reasonable. Pausing for food and drink while at your place of work is not, by any definition, a social gathering.

@calixtussixtus Sure. I suspect the loss leader argument is the main one here: supermarkets want customers to buy other stuff from them. Equally, though, the price will end up rising, for good reasons. And when it does, we may be sure that Twitter will blame corporate greed.

RT @DanielJHannan: Almost nothing enrages Twitter as much as basic economics. There are various sources of cooking oil, and the season varies by crop and by geography. Price signals are what tell producers to switch from other crops. They’re why shortages come to an end.
