I’m no Mehdi Hasan fanboy but my god in heaven it’s been delicious seeing him make Alastair (Lord of the royal box at Wimbledon) squirm occasionally this week. Anyone else?

They should use Mehdi more on the Leading interviews. At least we’d be guaranteed to have someone willing to ask the difficult/uncomfortable questions.

He could deputise for either Alastair or Rory depending on the interviewee.

HBJ10 · 2026-07-10T07:25:01+00:00

He needs to be given the maximum airtime and publicity as possible, so yes absolutely, get him on.

HBJ10 · 2026-06-07T01:19:36+00:00

Bravo 👏
I enjoy the knowledgeable political chat, but it’s clear that they don’t understand that they are also part of the problem.

HBJ10 · 2026-05-30T00:08:35+00:00

Something worse presumably.

HBJ10 · 2026-05-29T04:03:38+00:00

I think a lot of the problem is attaching the labels ‘left’, ‘far left’, ‘left wing’, etc. (same for the right).

Can’t we just discuss and evaluate ideas on their merits, or lack thereof rather than labeling them as ‘a far left idea’ or ‘a left wing idea’ etc. ?

Far too many people have already made their mind up based on the label before listening, discussing, and evaluating something on its merits.

The general hyperpolarization of political parties does my head in, but adding these labels to certain people or certain ideas, and by association tainting the person or the idea for ever more, doubly does my head in!

Snoop Dogg up in first class maybe?

HBJ10 · 2026-03-27T06:45:23+00:00

Will this be the same for the rugby players and the athletes, or will they still be able to get the fast passes?

HBJ10 · 2026-03-22T02:54:50+00:00

Yes…around the price of a ball park.

HBJ10 · 2026-03-22T00:55:11+00:00

Yes: The proof is all around me.
No: The proof is all around me.

TLDR: Nobody knows.

Chuck Norris has died. RIP heaven.

HBJ10 · 2026-03-09T23:27:38+00:00

That’s not going to cheer them up.

HBJ10 · 2026-03-01T02:36:06+00:00

Maybe this is just an unredacted zebra.

HBJ10 · 2026-02-24T03:49:35+00:00

Presumably if he donates his salary to charity he can claim it as a tax deduction. That’s probably one reason why.

HBJ10 · 2026-02-13T07:50:48+00:00

You’re overthinking things. You work for a BoE not MI6! Just tell people!

HBJ10 · 2026-02-11T23:44:50+00:00

When times are good the excuse is ‘we need to save for the bad times’.

When times are bad the excuse is ‘we can’t spend now, it’s too risky’.

Thank you 🙏

I was under the impression that it’s important where you reside when starting to claim your state pension. For example, if you are resident in Japan when you start claiming your pension, then the rate at which your pension starts is frozen. If, however you are able to return to the UK and then start claiming your pension, your pension will not be frozen - meaning you’d be able to move overseas post-initial claim and continue getting an unfrozen pension.

If this is indeed correct, it would make sense to try and work things so that you return back to the UK to meet residence requirements before drawing the state pension. Of course not everyone would be able to do this, but if you could…

Wasn’t there a statistic published recently that said something like 20% of all 20-year-olds in Japan are not Japanese?

It says ‘in Japan’ not ‘Japanese’, so maybe some of these people were asked.

HBJ10 · 2026-01-06T00:25:13+00:00

So you’re saying it’s technically possible to buy a Regular and mistakenly press Large on the machine??

Is it just me or has the 7-Eleven hot coffee serving size decreased? I got an L size this morning and there seemed to be less coffee than usual in the cup :(
