    Classic F.M

    I heard someone on the Proms once say that even though they are so utterly different, they are actually closely related. They were written at the same time and debuted at the same concert. The argument made was that they use a lot of the same devices, but in the Fifth the music is condensed...

    Classic F.M

    I've never been a fan of The Four Seasons. There's only one tiny snatch that I really love. The half a minute or so of Winter, starting at the 30 second point in this video.

    Bounce or no bounce?

    I actually did think they went too far on two occasions. When the male moderator said: And I think the female moderator went too far when she kept pushing for a yes or no answer on his health plan.

    Only one actual outright lie according to CNN. She said Biden inherited the worst unemployment since the Great Depression. Otherwise, she twisted the truth, like all politicians do. But it is the scale and severity of Trump's lies that set him apart. That is why he needs to be fact checked. His...

    If only one candidate is telling outright lies, then only one should get fact checked. Which claims by Kamala Harris do you think should have been fact checked? Apparently, Trump told 33 outright lies during the debate.

    Bounce or no bounce?

    Commentators who know him well say there's no way he can refuse a second debate, and it's just a negotiating ploy, to get more favourable conditions for the next one.

    Bounce or no bounce?

    They have been maintained! Iran has just found ways around them, starting when Trump was still in power. It's something to do with Chinese "teapot" oil refineries. Very hard to get decent information. North Korea also has very strict international sanctions imposed, and is a vastly poorer...

    Bounce or no bounce?

    And she triggered him into all this simply by saying that people left his rallies early because they were bored. From then on, he had just totally lost it. In all honesty, I ask anyone who supports Trump, how can you possibly expect this man to be able to negotiate with Putin and Xi, when he is...

    Bounce or no bounce?

    The consensus is that Trump had the worst debate performance in history. Even worse than Biden. They are calling it devastating. Kamala Harris totally schooled him and dominated him. She set him up time and again and he fell for it every time. He ended up talking about immigrants eating...

My basic understanding is that your browser sends lots of information about your computer to every website you...

    Right Wing, Far Right, Extreme Right

    All the other parties could join together and exclude the far right.

    Bounce or no bounce?

    I have read that the usual rule in US debates is that the microphone is live at all times. The recent Biden Trump debate was an exception.

    What part of Trump's campaign wants the microphones muted is not true.

    What part of Trump wants the microphones muted do you not understand ;)

    Bounce or no bounce?

    I have no idea what I said, but it has no bearing on this. For some reason, since becoming the nominee he seems to have avoided giving a proper one on one interview on a major network . A bit like how Johnson avoided Andrew Neil. He also wants the microphones muted at the debate. These are facts...

    He's not actually done a proper interview since he became the Republican nominee. So, let's see him sit down with that same interviewer, Dana Bash. A circle jerk with Elon Musk doesn't count. Neither does a cosy chat with Dr Phil. And let's see him debate Kamala Harris without muted microphones.

    I think Trump's taking it to new extremes. He's now done a flip-flop-flip on abortion. Just 24 hrs after saying he was going to vote for a loosening of the abortion ban in his home state of Florida, he's reversed his position (again), and now he has said will vote to maintain it...

    Bounce or no bounce?

    Trump needs to sit down for a proper interview with hard questions, like Harris did. I don't mean on Fox News or with Dr Phil or another love in with Elon Musk.
