    Leo should be pushing for better investment in education and more funding for extracurricular sports. Kids aren’t going to go for a jog, kids play.

      A cycling club in every school would be an idea – when kids realise that they can actually cycle 50 miles it’s a life-changer.

        Imagine what happens then when they find out all the calories they could burn running a fraction of that.

      & he should have a word with Minister Donoghue about kids having safe routes to walk or cycle to school. This stuff ain’t rocket science

      Eating sh1t food is having more of an effect on the growing rate of obesity than the lack of exercise.

      Exercise is good but diet is much more important for controlling weight gain.

        Completely agree. Your health/shape/weight is 70% about what you eat and only 30% about exercise. Kids are having too much sugar and processed foods. People need to go back to basics and cook meals from scratch.

      I asked a Londoner some months ago on what he thought of how Nicola Sturgeon was revitalising the post-referendum SNP. He’d never even heard of Sturgeon. There seems to be more disenfranchised voters in Britain than I thought.

      Maybe. Though suspect the Tories will vote with labour on issues like trident

    What the hell was that guy smuggling weed out of the Philippines for? Eejit.

    “I’m afraid we’re not familiar with your literature, Lieutenant. We feel closer to the warm mediterranean. We tend to overlook your island.” B Friel. Translastions.

    Is it not insane to anyone else how biased newspapers are to particular parties. I though the media was supposed to be neutral?

    Daily Telegraph went a step further, emailing its readers asking them to back the Conservatives.
