An American girl I know told me that every day in school she and her classmates had to "pledge allegiance" to the flag of the USA.

Does that really happen ? In public schools?

And here was me thinking that the USA was the Land of the Free

Strikes me as just as bad as requiring people to pray

Here in the UK I've had two Pfizers - second one was six weeks ago - not a single side effect. Nobody I know has had any side effects from either Pfizer or AZ. It's hard to understand what all these reluctant Japanese are worried about.

I've had both my Covid vaccinations - I doubt that would have happened if Corbyn or the EU had been in charge of things.

ALL the more AZ vaccine for the rest of us if those daft Europeans, [against the advice of the European Medicines Agency and the WHO], are turning their noses up at it.

A majority of the folk in NI do not want to become part of the Republic of Ireland.

A lot of naval experts posting here it seems.

I'm British - I'm getting vaccinated this Friday! It'd next Summer if we'd stayed in the EU

I'm in the UK and I'm getting vaccinated next week - wouldn't be happening if we'd stayed in the EU

"pishtol"

She's got no chance of a referendum - she herself at the time, stated the 2014 referndum was " once in a generation" . Boris will tell her to go and f*** herself

"Chose his parents" ? If that's possible then maybe you're just pissed off because you made a poor choice.

The mother must have been going throught utter mental torment to do such a terrible thing - clearly the balance of her mind was deranged.

I think at least, some compassion is warranted but it seems to be in short supply in the previous comments

Boring old farts who haven't recorded anything worth listening to since 1969.

Flying pension providers

Mars Bar...

"God Save The Queen - we mean it man..."

Stable door etc .... same as in the UK

Gram Parsons

One of the things I liked best about Japan when I visited was that restaurants [ in Osaka anyway] had a section for the smokers and a section for the non smokers - seems a bit more civilised and reasonable than the total ban we have in the UK - after all non smokers do benefit from tobacco taxes.

I saw the Eagles in '77 on the "Hotel California" tour - only cost £2 for the ticket. They were excellent but even then they were a bit dated with the arrival of punk.

I can't imagine why anyone would pay a fortune to see one of them and a bunch of session men in 2020

The Irish have got a lot of apologising to do as well - for the murder and mayhem their terrorists caused both in Ulster and on mainland UK

Most Irish I know pity Britons these days. Things have changed.

Nonsense - the Irish economy is in utter ruins and they've even had to borrow money from we Brits as well as the EU - if it had been up to me they'd have got nothing.

it's a kind of act they like to put on, ......arrogance long associated with being British.

We British can't be blamed for feeling superior - what other country in the world could attract 2 billion viewers for a wedding

Did all the previous marriages end in divorce or did some of them die?

The Byrds 1967 version of "My Back Pages is by far the best.

Butter is bad for your health

so sorry fleetwood, if you are a drug addict, do not be surprised if your OWN KIDS or GRANDKIDS rat you out, narc on you and let you clean in behind bars.

I know my kids tried drugs [just like I did when I was young] but I didn't call in the Drug Police to ruin their lives and sure enough they got past that phase and have gone on to be very successful both academically and professionally.

But if you want to run squealing to the woodentops the first time one of your kids does something you don't like by all means do so.

Loyalty to your own is more important than any stupid law.

No way would I rat on one of my kids - no matter what they'd done or to whom they'd done it,

Peeping progresses to groping and that can eventually progress to assault/murder. Of course, not every guy trying to grab an upskirt snap is going to assault someone, but these kinds of crimes can progress to much more severe stuff if the perps aren't caught. Usually when the more minor crime becomes less satisfying.

Where is the evidence for this assertion?

Looks like much-maligned Texas is far more "progressive" than ppl realize.

I never thought I'd see the words "Texas" and "progressive" in the same sentence.

I wonder how they compensate all the innocent people they execute?
