Is Derek Hatton ethical?

[Heaning Hobbler]

He's a Scouser and supports Everton, so that must make him fairly ethical.

Is Derek Hatton ethical?

No, but Socialists rarely are underneath the surface. He's just a great example of a Champagne Socialist.

Anyone got any significant updates?

It is great publicity and the lottery funding clearly has made a big difference to most of the sports, but strangely not to athletics.
Strip out Mo who has his own team behind him and it's been well below par, with 2 relay bronzes at the end maybe just pulling them out of the sticky stuff.

When you look at the list of funded athletes, not many came up with the goods, in fact not many of them actually made it to the games.

Promising runs, such as Buchart and Hawkins, came from unfunded athletes.

My sector (textiles) is the best it's been for quite a while. Historically probably since before the 2007 crisis, and recently certainly the most buoyant it's been in the last 12 months. As a 70 year customer in the Borders said today, long may it continue

Japan has warned Britain that its banks, car manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies may leave the UK for Europe if Brexit leads to the loss of tariff-free trade.

Speaking in China, the PM denied she had "gone soft" on migration and said people backed Brexit because they wanted "an element of control".

He signalled that Britain would be seeking “access” to the single market but not necessarily full membership. “This government is looking at every option, but the simple truth is that if a requirement of membership is giving up control of our borders I think that makes it very improbable.”
