    Abercrombie & Fitch are a significant player in the fashion industry. This is exploitation in the same way that under paying workers in developing nations is exploitation. Journalists don't know where their stories will take them. It is also important in the narrative that if you are rich and powerful you cannot behave as though the law does not apply to you.

    He assumed office on 25th October. The years grace is up at that point and letters into the Chair of the 1922 committee can be counted. However if you were a potential leader in waiting would you want to lead the Conservatives into the next General election within 14 months and potentially be just another former Prime Minister. If I were a Tory hopeful I would probably plan my campaign to be leader at the 2029 election so sometime in 2027 would be the best time to make the move

  17. My opinion (fwiw) is that he was included for the round. If his behaviour warrants a further ban then this should be for future rounds of the games but I am not the game runner

    I am not a huge KM fan. I think she has managed her career very well and always comes across as likeable. However, Can't Get You Out of my Head is by far and away her most iconic track and deserves the plaudits here. it is the only KM track that has made it onto my ipod
  19. Both A-ha and Eurythmics had probably less good songs under consideration in the No.1s round but there are better Tears for Fears songs

    Seen Any Good Films Lately?

    Bit late to this particular party but last night we streamed the Barbie movie It is absolutely pitched perfect with a fantastic cast, script and message I can get that it is not for some people but the over-reaction in some portions of the media actually proves the point that the film is trying to make. A lot has focused on Margot Robbie in the title role but I think that people should also recognise just how good America Ferrera is. My wife and daughter went to the cinema to see this a few weeks ago and the both admitted that they cried and I know that my wife does not normally cry at movies (I do she doesn't)
