And now we export everything of any quality to France and Spain, keep the cheap stuff for ourselves, batter it and smother it in salt and vinegar.

Speaking as a Londoner, I have two things to say: 1. I didn't know this and think it's very interesting. 2. My wife is Spanish and introduced me to the delicacy that is spicy angulas (Pollock meat really).

That's not many when you consider a global audience. What was it 5 years ago?

Does anyone actually watch this ? Give me Will Smith slapping someone any day.

I think the real number is actually 18 trillion, TRILLION.

Helen, as you know, we live in a society. If we want to live safely in harmony, we have to make certain compromises in order to protect the vulnerable. There are bad aspects of our society that push cheap sugar based products onto our young. I think we should put barriers up to protect our children

Laughable. If Americans weren't already embarrassed, they certainly should be now.

Only because it was a state secret I think

If you're old enough, you wouldn't have heard of him until the '80s.

Here in the UK there are moves to give tenants the human rights to have pets.

Says a lot about him - confirmation of what we already know. Nobody else would get away with that kind of abuse.

Do you think he'd have said the same if she were a man?

I know that we're all laughing at this but it's sorted of accepted and normalised now isn't it? Anyone could be POTUS if they lie and bully hard enough. I might give it a go.

New Forest life in the Autumn. The pigs are let out en masse to hoover up the acorns which are poisonous to other New Forest dwellers.

You really don't deserve to have the privilege of animals in your care.
