Ask yourself, in years to come, do you want to take your kids to the theatre, or a Wetherspoons that used to be a theatre?

Dear readers: Please stop calling us ‘the media.’ There is no such thing.

Why your broad-brush claims of “bias” are pretty ridiculous in this day and age.

A gulf between them, the UK and EU have begun negotiating their post-Brexit relationship. But might those talks fail? Fishing is one of several issues that could see the talks founder. We've been to Denmark to see why, with @newsresourceone and @ldnvic youtube.com/watch?v=j1kTCwVU…

This is so true and applies to politics too. It’s not about sounding clever, it’s about informing people who don’t have the time or inclination to become an expert but do want to know what the hell is going on.

To those saying my analysis is old-fashioned - it isn't but it is simple. Know why? Because out of an audience of 7-8m, all but 1m know very little about rugby & they need simple explanations. If the choice is boring supposed experts and informing them; I choose them.
