Looks like the only country in the Americas with a higher debt to GDP ratio than the US is Venezuela and, according to Trump himself, he's de facto president of both countries. Should probably get a prize or something for an achievement like that. source: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/government-debt-to-gdp?continent=america

You're right of course although the real question is statistically which method of taking a pen is the most successful? This article is an interesting read: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3edp0yl57xo and surprisingly it appears as if going down the middle is the way to go. Whether that would change if more people did it is debateable. Personally I'd rather have someone like MLT or Lambert just smack the ball in one of the corners as hard as possible but according to that article that might not be the best option. Seem to recall Beattie thumping them into the top corners a few times - get them on target and I doubt many would get saved.

Not really specific to Saints but managers don't have as much of an impact as people like to think. Sure, there's some really really good ones and some absolutely terrible ones but generally most managers in the medium to long term don't make too much of a difference and the quality of the playing squad is more of a determining factor.

Was that in the Ale House?

6 Music have just played a song called "The man who seeks pleasure" by Madra Salach. I've no idea who they are but it has to be one of the most droning, dull, god awful pieces of crap I've heard in a very long time. It's even worse than anything Kae Tempest has released which is a very very low bar.

I'm really not sure I follow your logic here and it doesn't make any sense. Are you saying Gloucester should disagree with Carlson on everything because he generally disagrees on most things? Surely that's just silly and tribal?

Frustrating result but have to give some credit to Charlton. They obviously came for a point and were pretty sound defensively.

whom you could also remove under a democratic system, unlike a king or queen who ended up similar to Trump.

I’m thinking of going on holiday abroad. Main criteria is a current monarchy, any recommendations?

That was just an illustration of the absurdity of the hereditary principle. Andy being a wrong un hasn't affected my opinion of the monarchy in the slightest

I struggle to see why people get worked up over the suggestion that the monarchy should be abolished. Here's your first post in the subject as an example.

No, it's not really clear at all especially since you were saying it wasn't speculation. As Badger mentioned you might find tourism actually increases in the event that Buck house etc is opened up and provides greater access. It's whataboutery anyway, the point is that the hereditary principle and the monarchy are undemocratic anachronisms in a modern society.

I actually did take a quick look at those articles and it's pure speculation (obviously) and they even acknowledge that themselves with lines such as, "we have observed difficulties in fully grasping the extent of the UK monarchy’s economic influence due to the multifarious nature of their influence on society. Additionally, we have highlighted how problematic it is to rigorously measure the economic impact of tourism."

It's an undemocratic and unaccountable institution and for me that's enough. Quite telling that you would choose to shift the argument from democratic principle because it's a pretty indefensible position to be arguing from.

How about they're undemocratic? The idea that you can be born into the role of head of state regardless of ability or talent is laughable. The Andrew that you describe as a complete idiot and an embarrassment was once second in line to the throne and could easily have ended up as King.
