Should the MMR jab be compulsory? 7:11pm on 24 Jun 2009 No, it definitely should not. Our children were not vaccinated because it was unclear what the truth was and the government could not be believed. There is no proof either way, whether a child's immune system can withstand such an onslaught from a multiple vaccine. I do not understand why the government did not go back to single vaccines,as was the case when I was a child. We would have accepted those, but they kept complaining about the lack of take up of MMR, but refused to give single vaccines. there argument was poor. It was almost a case of we know best and YOU WILL DO IT OUR WAY OR NOT AT ALL. Bit head in the sand if they wanted a higher take up rate. Single vaccines is the answer, people are not so afraid of those. The government say they will cost more, but surely it costs more to have a high number not vaccinated.
To tie or not to tie? 7:16pm on 06 Apr 2009 Clothes do not make the man.
You should be comfortable, not tied to out of date ideas.

I have worked in business for over 30 years and have worked with many who could wear a tie, but they were crap at their jobs. Surely it is more important that the person can do the job, rather than what they wear and how smart it makes them look.

No ties for me!
Should the House of Lords be scrapped? 09:20am on 11 Feb 2009 Paxman is very rude, he didn't even let Gyles finish what he had to say, but isn't that typical of him. He can be very good, but then his vanity takes over and he tries to become the centre of the show, where he is most important and that's when you turn off. I would challenge Paxman to show us any country in the world with an elected 2nd house that is any better than ours. Most 2nd houses are just as corrupt as the 1st house and just as dominated by politics, so what is the point of such a 2nd house, even if it is elected. There is nothing wrong with our system except for the corruption angle. That is all that needs to be addressed, so yes throw them out and strip them of the title. better still, don't give them titles in the first place, call it the "Unelected 2nd House", allow the Lords and Bishops their places still (for balance) and then just continue to appoint others, but don't give them titles. the House of Commons doesn't work that well, so why would an elected 2nd house work any better.
