    Any European parks open in February?

    I am a fan of Disney, which is why I won't be visiting DLP ;) Efteling looks like a good shout though - thanks for the suggestion!

    Any European parks open in February?

    I've realised I need to take a week's holiday from work before the end of February, because I can't carry over the days. So... are there any parks open in Europe in February?

    2019 General Election Poll and Discussion

    Not for me, no. I think we should build a society which cares for the less well off and the disadvantaged. I've been afforded real life changing support from public services: I had my life saved by the fire brigade when I was a child, I'm alive because of the ongoing treatment I receive from...

    You need an impartial journalist to give you proof of the accusations, so you're not just spreading disinformation/propaganda. If you weren't aware, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis is absoloutely not unbiased - he and Boris are chums. When Bojo won the leadership contest a few months ago, Mirvis...

    That feel when you’re actually agreeing with Piers about something... I hate the fact that Nicky Morgan keeps just saying “it’s crystal clear” and “let me be clear” when she’s not being clear at all. What a tit.

    “Antisemitism exists across Britain’s political spectrum. This week both Tory and Liberal Democrat candidates have been suspended for offensive remarks. We also need to discuss other forms of racism. It is not whataboutery to point to the endemic problem of Islamophobia in the Conservative...

    The ONS report from March 2019 paints a different picture: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicspending/bulletins/ukgovernmentdebtanddeficitforeurostatmaast/march2019 General government gross debt was £1,821.3 billion at the end of the financial year ending March...

    A) The current government has accrued more debt than the last Labour government: When Labour left office in 2010, debt as a proportion of GDP was 69%. In 2019, after nearly a decade of Tory austerity, debt as a proportion of GDP is 85%. B) How did Boris vote on the Iraq war? Was he a...

    Not according to analysts at several large investment banks - "Unlikely as it may seem, he is now seen as the lesser of two evils by analysts at Citibank and Deutsche Bank, respectively American and German titans of the financial system."

    You're completely right, the NHS has been around for seventy years, so they've cured all the cancers. They also fixed dementia. There's literally no cardiovascular disease at all now. They definitely cured arthritis in one afternoon, and whilst they were at it, they also deleted diabetes...

    By mocking them, as a man in power, he's literally not valuing that right. He's taking the pish and feeding the fire of bigotry. And what about being afraid of black boys, how are you justifying that one?

    2019 General Election Poll and Discussion

    It's like agreeing as a group of friends that you'd like to go to the shop to buy an apple. Some people in the group wanted an orange, but more people voted for the apple because they don't like the peel. Fair enough. Except, when you get to the shop, it turns out that there are several...

    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    Trust me, I work with IP licensing (including Disney), and these sort of agreements are set in stone. Once you've agreed it, neither party can unilaterally cancel it just because they feel like it, without major repercussions. I'm 100% sure that this attraction has just reached its natural EOL.

    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    I highly, highly doubt that. The collaboration between Star Wars and LEGO is as strong as ever - for evidence, look at all the LEGO Star Wars content on the recently launched Disney+ platform. I can't see what Disney's lawyers would achieve by asking for this to be pulled. It's much more...

    No, that's literally it. "Leave" was such a vague and esoteric concept, that there is just no mandate from politicians nor the public about what form it should take. If the main objective was simply to leave, then there was a deal on the table and there were five opportunities to implement...

    This was never what the majority of the Vote Leave camp claimed. Don't you remember being told: - that negotiating the deal would be "the easiest in history" (Liam Fox) - that "a trade deal with the EU could be sorted out in an afternoon" (Gerrard Batten, UKIP) - "You can be sure there will be...
