It may just have been a mention in the discussions between Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron, but I think this is a fantastic idea! And when would there be a better time

Firstly, it must be said that this is only at primary school level. Presumably, for older age groups, there is no ban. Secondly, we've seen a ban on the burka in some European countries and lots of Europeans

Men's equality groups have been saying this for some time now, but the media has just ignored it. By many metrics, women are now more successful than men, especially those under the age of 35, and yet

As usual we have, "How do we solve a problem? I know, we'll tax it!" While I do understand the problem and the need to reduce waste, a 25 pence addition to the price of a coffee will make it

The real question here is, why is Erogan making such statements? He must know that doing so, especially publicly, will have little affect on such cases and that Turkey hasn't exactly endeared itself to

I don't see the point to this. As much of a famous person, THE person, as he is regarding the Brexit story, he holds no real power in the talks and everybody already knows his views on the subject. The

This is the most sensible thing I have heard all week. Anything which may lead to proper talks and dialogue can only be welcomed. There has never been any sign that military drills and sanctions in any

Of course Britain wants financial services to be included in the deal, and why not?! If the EU doesn't want to agree to that, then maybe Britain should opt out of free trade in agricultural products and

This would hardly be shocking news, if true. Some will say that this will only happen in China. I say it's bound to be happening all over the world, including Western democracies. Even encrypted messages

Again, the world is going mad. Why not just ban everything? How can a naturally growing part of of your body be seen as a religious symbol in the same light as a cross or a kippah? Yes, it can show your

Unfortunately, the Reuters article makes no mention of Western countries' views on this matter. This is frightening because Western Countries' leaders should be making open public statements about this

Is this person mad? In this PC world we now live in, things like that simply cannot be said - men are always to blame is the current narrative and no one dare deviate from it. Maybe he thinks he is immune

And what exactly was the US expected to do? Regardless of whether the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and finally move the US embassy there is a bad idea or not, the resolution

I'm old enough to remember the time when feminists 'decided', on behalf of society, that beards were a sign of male aggression. That has changed now, with beards being seen as confirming a man's leftist

This reminds me of the comedy TV series Yes Minister with ministers throwing out small nuggets to appease the voters. The real question should be about the value of UK fishing stocks and how much Britain

My only question is: Why wouldn't the Pentagon spend money on UFO research? A UFO, or Unitentified Flying Object, is exactly that- it is something unidentified which is flying, or which appears to be flying,

I'm sure I've heard something about this in the past, but I must have not bothered to think about it much because, if I had, I'm sure I would have found such actions difficult to comprehend in 'human'

We all know the song White Christmas, but did you know that the words are inherently racist? Well, they aren't. White Christmas is a song about snow being white, which in fact it is. Unfortunately, after

Well, of course Ukraine is happy with this and they have every right to ask for such weapons - they are a sovereign country after all. And, in fact, Poroshenko has a duty to seek such weapons. It is only

Is nothing sacrosanct? If I don't want to be sliced open before I am truly dead and have my body parts removed, why should I have to ask for it to be so. Surely, permission should be given for such an
