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...

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...

In - because of free mobile phone roaming.

It may be a frivolous reason - but at least it's a reason...

I've noticed more and more supermarkets are including clear perspex 'cutout covers' over the chewing gum shelves. Does anyone know what purpose these are meant to serve? My guesses were some sort of anti-shoplifting idea, or stopping them getting knocked off by people walking by, but I can't imagine...

The traditional route (which I'm not saying you should go down, but this is how I suspect most places would do it!) would be to have two feeds into the television - one being the display, and one being a conventional television receiver - and use the built-in Picture-In-Picture (or similar) feature ...
