They need to give you the choice on whether to update or not. If you choose not to they should just maybe give you a warning on every launch and leave it at that.

Thank you. However Israel is not a red herring in this as far as I am concerned. I believe that what's going on in the Labour Party is an attempt to stifle criticism of Israel and in particular its treatment of the Palestinians. I don&

You have a point but I suppose I'm a bit defeatist. I'm not so sure that adopting a high flyer as a role model is going to bring happiness for most people.

I needed to look up 'dog-whistling' and got this definition on wikipedia : Dog-whistle politics is political messaging employing coded language that appears to mean one thing to the general population but has an additional, diffe

Since you've edited your comment belatedly to ask if I know how that sounds, I'll add this answer. Yes I know exactly how the words you're trying to put in my mouth sound and I know why you are doing it.

Do you believe, as Israel's Basic law states, that the right to exercise national self-determination in Israel is "unique to the Jewish people" ?

The 70s weren't as bad as they are painted. There was much greater income equality. A lot of the problems in that decade had external causes, the oil crisis and the hangover, I suppose, from the commodity price inflation caused by the

A lot of people feel that is a confection by Zionists, supported by israel, aimed at making criticism of Israeli policies equivalent to anti-semitism.

Nothing but I think if I had mastered another language that would probably be very rewarding. Actually I think mastering just about anything must be very rewarding. The more you put in the more you get out. There were subjects I did in scho

Not sure about him being role model, he's very unusually gifted. Most of us can only aspire to being a jack on one trade, he's a master of two.

Nice write up. I remember the day the money was replaced, my business was in the sweet shop next to my primary school. I liked the new coins because they were all clean and shiny. I'm sure we were ripped off when it came to penny bars.

The insults against the Welsh in that post are rather notorious being from a column in the Sunday Times by the late A.A. Gill. A complaint about them was thrown out by the Commission for Racial Equality. Not everyone, but many people in the

That sounds like a very odd conversation between two adults to me. Sounds more like a mother teaching her child. The word welch is fine, the fact that it has historical origins makes the word even more interesting. It's survived until

One thing we can be sure of is that trying to direct the language people use is a sure fire way to provoke a reaction. That goes for your ridiculous request for me to not use the word welch in the sense that i used it. If it had an associat
