Did he find Michael Bent?

Wilkinson is definitely on the tour, from what I heard. He'll be announced as a late joiner at the end of Toulon's season, and the sleight of hand is to avoid any ructions about him not being...

Outlaw told me he played all his underage rugby there.

Firstly, the fact that the US does something doesn't automatically suggest that there's "no reason" not to do the same.

Secondly, this data would suggest that the sort of screening you're...

But that's a separate issue. Everyone who is entitled to residence in the EU is entitled to free movement within it - not just those "from" the EU.

Free movement for people who are entitled to be in the EU. So if they can be in London or Rome, they can be in Ireland.

I don't see the issue.

You can't have border controls for some but not for others. The EU wasn't about the free movement of "legit" people - it was about the free movement of people. From there, issues of criminality...

He's entitled to a defence, and his lawyer is entitled to represent him robustly. It's the job of the law to punish him when and if he's found guilty (which there seems little doubt he will be).

I don't think that anyone is blaming them in these instances - just commenting that, like a lot of our mainstream culture, they have a long way to go in a lot of cases to improve their depiction of...

Telegraph described them as "men of Pakistani origin", which generally means 2nd generation in the UK. 1st gen would usually be described as "Pakistani men". The description of them as an "asian"...

Most of them are British from what I can see in the reports. The ones who aren't should be repatriated once they've completed their sentences. Though I'd rather they never saw the light of day again.

I would be fairly confident that if a known criminal from Eastern Europe has moved Ireland, then both Irish and Polish police are talking about it.

We don't have the legal mechanism to deny an EU...

I've certainly noticed what I would see as a rise in violent misogyny over the last few years.

The "lad "culture of the nineties, which was epitomised by magazines like Nuts and Loaded, seems to...

It's not an emotional issue for me. It's a practical one.

Would you check tourists too? They're just as likely to be carrying an infectious disease.

And if you would, who is going to do the...

The issue I raised (insert your own tired rhetorical devices here) was the scarcity of fixtures.

We can find all the consumers we want. We lack enough product to sell to them.

No one builds a...

Accurate in any way that matters. Regardless of the desirability, I just don't see that Munster have enough home fixtures to produce the sort of set up being suggested here.

Yes, in each city. Two shiny new grounds, each opening their gates once a month. I don't see how that was ever going to stack up.

Not necessarily. Its only in the last couple of seasons that we're getting any sort of league crowds at all. Even when we were winning HECs there were nights when our league attendances were...

To be honest, I'm not sure there's enough rugby to go around in terms of fully exploiting a two city base. Munster only played 16 home fixtures this year. Split that evenly and space it across a...

Hard to conceive that it's real, I agree. I don't understand how these people find each other, or the people who paid to abuse these girls.

These bastards were convicted today only fifty yards from where I'm sitting. This is a very tough read:

What those...

I went to Ellis Island a couple of years back. I didn't see many people being checked for diseases before being allowed entry. I suppose that must be because its not 150 years ago, I guess.

Because the rush for tickets for big games provided a solid evidence base that there was sufficient demand to warrant it, I think. And that's largely been proved right to be honest.

It made sense...

I don't think there are many of the latter, as immigrants to the UK have a significantly higher employment rate than the standard population. People migrate to work, on the whole.

But it's always...

No, there wasn't. The UK had unemployment rates below 5% for most of the last Labour govt, which is where many economists consider full employment to sit. Keynes wanted 3%. There were pockets of high...
