    Brexit - The negotiations.

    Funny. All I heard was spin, waffle and contradictions

    You're missing the point. Yes, there is a knife crime problem in London at the moment and it is predominantly being committed by young black men, but it's not a racial issue that is the cause. Glasgow had the same issue in 2005 and even back in the 60s and it was predominantly white youths. Was...

    LOL at that statement. Like your sexuality is deciding to wear a different coloured top or something :LOL:

    Your suggestions are misplaced. Some of the worst knife attacks have taken place outside of London over the past few years, where both the victim and the perpetrators were white. Do you think there is a racial element to that in terms of cultural issues, racial issues, or is it the same problem...

    The abstract of the 2nd piece states: It seems that the heavy emphasis placed on ethnic diversity for explaining social dislocation and violence, in so far as it relates to a country’s homicide rate, seems to be misplaced. The 1st article is interesting, but he doesn't provide any information...

    I would suggest it is more than "some" considering Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, currently 20%, with approximately 3,933 offenders in prison, and one of the lowest crime rates in the world. I don't doubt that there will be a number of criminals convicted that it...

    violent crime increases exponentially in a multi-cultural population? Interesting assertion. Do you have any sources to back that claim up? Still, I am not sure what that has to do with the prison system within Norway that focuses more on rehabilitation and restorative justice and its impact...

    Brevik won't be released. After his 21 year sentence is up he will most likely be sentenced to "preventative detention" in an extra-high-security prison. This means he will be kept beyond the longest sentence permitted by law - 21 years - as he will still most likely be considered a risk to...

    Very dated way of thinking. You might want to read up on the Norwegian model https://www.businessinsider.com/why-norways-prison-system-is-so-successful-2014-12?r=US&IR=T

    Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

    Then I'm afraid to say you're in for a bit of a shock. For starters, after 31st Jan we will still be in the Single Market and Customs Union. "Brexit" won't actually happen until Dec 2020 and due to the incredibly short time frame I suspect we'll be going out with a "no deal". After the...

    You think Brexit is done because he managed to pass the WA?

    Starters - what's the point of them?

    The starter at Arden is pointless, or perhaps just not very good. You have an allocated tee time, but he just says, "go as soon as the players in front are out of range", which usually means people tee off too early and thus you end up waiting on holes later on as the spacing is all out, but...

    Bali???

    Amazing destination. Would go back in a heart beat.

    Celtic Manor

    Definitely worth it to play the 2010 and personally I prefer the Monty over the RR. Might be because the 3rd hole on the Monty is probably one of my favourite holes I have ever played. RR tends to get very wet under foot and I think the 16th and 17th are terrible holes, but others obviously...
