    Hopefully if a few of those go on to great wealth themselves they will also be as generous.

    Piers Morgan complaining about Emily Ratajkowski posting naked pictures of herself!?

    https://uk.yahoo.com/style/piers-morgan ... 53246.html

    What's the matter with the guy? How can anyone possible complain about Emily Ratajkowski posting naked pictures of herself?!

    He's got a point to be fair, I appreciate the photo as much as anyone but it has nothing to do with what she's saying. The thing with Pen1s Morgan is that even when he says something I agree with I find myself disagreeing with him because of the way he says it. It's also a bit rich for him to accuse someone of self-promotion when every utterance he makes is with that intention!

    Well - you could say - her body, her choice - if she wants to pose naked with very little covering up then that's up to her.

    The fact that it has people talking about the issue she wants to talk about tells you that it's one good way to draw attention to the cause - which wouldn't happen if it was someone sat in a suit behind a desk ...

    (for the record - I'm pro women choosing what happens - helped by family, friends and ultimately, the medical profession - there's enough trauma in the world without bringing more in.)

    The newly formed Bournemouth/Poole/Christchurch council has now elected an Alliance run cabinet (Libs/Green/Lab/PPP/Indies etc) and not one Tory to be seen. A case of everyone but a Tory.
    My old home town of Bournemouth in recent years has been mired corruption relating to planning issues involving some Conservative councillors. So it's great to see the Tories kicked into the long grass at last.

    Oh yes, these 'Pro lifers' really get my goat.

    However, Trump is not as extreme as some: he stated that an abortion should be legal in the event of a pregnancy after: rape, incest and if there is a threat to the mothers health.
    That may be a compromise that is more palatable than some of the views expressed by pro-lifers.
    Although not the best outcome.

    Coupled with the #metoo movement, perhaps he will lose most of the female vote (with any luck).

    I just wish the US would not be so morally regressive.

    Rees-Mogg does not agree with any exemptions. Do you think it will stop significant numbers of people voting for him?

    We need people to vote for Farage, Mogg (ERG), UKIP etc to spread the hardline Brexit vote out into an inconsequential body politic.

    Indeed - it seems they like life at any cost - the ones I know are catholic - I guess that's why priests always "did" boys then - less chance of something going wrong.
    I get that a baby is something to be cherished and not chosen at whim, but we have to balance that with the wellbeing - mental and physical - of the parents - eg a 12yo girl should not be forced to carry a healthy baby - any more than a woman should be forced to carry a baby with life limiting disabilities - both are choices to be made by the person & family, guided and supported by medical professionals- and what suits one potential mother will not suit the next.

    Well - it's a start ...

    That would cheer a lot of people up - don't think it's trivial though ;)

    Not sure some of the above should be in this thread which is supposed to be a rare home of positivity and joy. Plenty of room for rants in pretty much all the other threads!

    At the urinology clinic today, my testicles got the ok.

    Seeing a genuine Peugeot team issue bike from the 80s hanging on my clients office wall. Always enjoy this visit. Still hasn't been ruled out that it was Robert Millar's.
    Now been added to with a 1968 Peugeot team support car.
    A very cheery day indeed.

    Whilst I know cars were smaller and lighter back then, that must be some wall.
