You are anthropomorphising Wibble - dogs that are trained to be muzzled do not view it as any more of a punishment than dogs that are trained to walk to heel on a tight leash or wear a harness in a moving vehicle. I agree with @owlo - all dogs should be muzzle trained. That doesn't mean they...

Yeah, I get why people feel that way. I was comfortable to just view him as a different character, and in that respect I thought he had a good story arc.

+1 Watchmen the series is great TV

You mean in this post: I didn't question that, perhaps I should have - it would be good to know what @Wolverine meant. As far as I can tell, Richard Gill doesn't attempt to explain the relationship, but he does reference Science on Trial which appears to make reasonable statements. I'm not a...

It is, but it's being argued that the test used to confirm insulin poisoning may not have been correctly applied and it's also argued that she may not have physically had the opportunity.

I expect, on the balance of probability, that she is guilty but that's not how UK law is supposed to work. I don't think I know the case well enough to make any other judgement; the narrative from day 1 in the media has been that she is guilty. I'm just being honest that I don't know for sure...

Neither of the 2 children allegedly poisoned with insulin died.

Thanks for posting this. I also cannot decide whether I think she is guilty or not but I had read other comments about this being an unsafe verdict. This is extremely enlightening to read.

There's no way Levy will sell to us for that figure.

Talksport just reported that Mbappe bid has been accepted and he's on his way. If that's true it's a game-changer

Agree completely. I've been in the position of being able to quadruple my salary by moving to Hong Kong for more than a decade and have never done it. That would be a life-changing salary increase. You wouldn't get me to move to Saudi for 10 x my current salary, and that would make me genuinely...

Definitely true of some of them, but I bet it's not true of all the women he claims to have slept with.

Well, there is that. It's not very likely, but it's probably into the high hundreds/low thousands. It's a moot point though, as it doesn't change the meat and bones of the case.

I think you're missing my point. You can't avoid visceral bias. You can acknowledge it, and try and compensate for its effect, but everyone is subject to it. The way you feel about Mendy may be different to the way I feel about him, but we are both subject to visceral bias. I was just responding...

You are just as guilty of visceral bias as I am, it just affects your opinion of him differently. I've explained more above.
