Even Virgin's Little Red domestic services managed a year or so of operation. Don’t forget a significant number of people taking those flights (without a connection) were just in it for the free Gold card. I (personally) think the writing is on the wall for short flights where there is a decent tra...

I’m putting all the chain Italian restaurants in the “negative outlook” category. I don’t think the bloodshed of 2019 is nearly over yet, and there’s still about a million of them. Carluccios has started widely discounting now too, which they never used to do.

I just hope they don't kill my much nicer looking "Premium" one off yet (closed to new applicants in 2018). I totally agree that the Tesco Premium C/c is one of the best things about Tesco, and is even better now they reduced the annual fee as well as the spend amount to qualify for the clubcard po...

So they’re reviving the unprofitable part of the business, but not the profitable bit. I don’t see it working out well. TA margins are wafer thin these days, especially for airlines.

When I think of Thomas Cook, I still think of the red boxed logo.

I always think of the "GMTV" logo personally!

Few PV'ers seem to support the idea of a straight rerun, instead they want 'remain', 'leave A', 'leave B' etc - so they can claim a victory with less than half the vote. I would guess that most Brexit-supporting individuals were also strongly of the view that FPTP is the most appropriate electoral ...

To be honest, I don’t blame anyone who voted “Leave” in 2016 - I nearly did myself. With the information we had then, it might as well have been a coin flip. But I find it astonishing that, in the face of all this evidence, the opinion of those who were strongly in favour of Brexit has become even m...

Fair points on the original deal not having received a fair shake. I don't see how an extension of democracy can be undemocratic. Switzerland has semi-direct democracy with regular referenda specifically to vote time and time again on policy and reflect *current* and *informed* public opinion. Other...

I think it’s important to remember that the Brexit vote came on the back of two other referendums – Alternative Vote and Scottish Independence – that came back firmly in favour of supporting the status quo. It was widely assumed that this, a decision with an even more obvious response and result, an...

My opinion is that curtailments on reporting of terrorism would go a long way to improving things. I personally don't see what videos of people screaming does to help society, but they certainly help those responsible instil fear and panic throughout the population. I think reporting it in purely fa...

I agree with the threshold idea, simply because the barrier to change has to be higher than the barrier to maintaining the status quo. As it stands, we'll be sinking billions of pounds into this operation, not to mention many times that in short term market issues, as a result of what was effectivel...
