In PM tonight: a brand new weather forecast! 4:13pm on 12 Oct 2009 Is it my eyes, or does West Lothian not appear on the long list. A new West Lothian question? I think we should be told...

And seriously, very annoying if like me you live in West Lothian!
ECB hit for six by Stanford 1:28pm on 23 Feb 2009 "It is important to note that many other cricket boards, and in particular the Indian Board, would never have considered that.

Back in 1991, after the Indian team had played in matches organised by private individuals in various parts of the world..."

What I think you mean is the Indian Board would NO LONGER consider that, as clearly they have done so in the past. (And learnt from their mistakes?)

But that's pedantry on my part. ECB should have smelled a rat, and they didn't
Controversial CAP reform 3:50pm on 20 May 2008 I have to agree with Starbuck11:

Do Britain want to be serious about climate change ? then why importing food from the other half of the world, when it could be produced at a cheaper environmental cost at home ?

the dumbest way to get more bang for taxpayer's buck would be to scrap the CAP - it would also be very short-sighted. Too bad the Brits decided to sacrifice their agriculture since the Industrial Revolution, but that doesn't mean the rest of Europe have to do the same.

The protection of the quality of rural Europe should be a priority - and reform, not abolition, of farming subsidies has to be the way forward. Like many, I try to buy local food, or at least food from within the EU wherever possible - buying New Zealand lamb or butter is shortsighted foolishness...
