any animals being an essential source of food is a myth. a vegetarian diet would feed far more people. meat is a luxury and anyone who thinks it's essential is kidding themselves. the massive slab of sirloin my mum served up on easter day is a testament to just how much i enjoy not being a sanctimo...

So, you either want to protect race horses or you don’t.

Irrelevant. This is where football clubs are going wrong. Managers are getting fired for not scoring league points at the same rate as managers of other clubs but actually, the rate at which points are scored is "irrelevant". I'm off to explain this to Southampton fans. They're going to be relieved.
