Thanks for the good response guys. A few more from me:

- Most white people who claim to be "disgusted" and "outraged" about racism against non-whites (and I'm talking about "everyday" racism as opposed to murder here) are only saying what they think they should say. I don't doubt that most white people are against racism and think it's a bad thing, but by the same token I don't think many are being kept awake at night by it. Most would only be truly disgusted and outrged if it happened to a friend of theirs. (I probably haven't made this clear enough and it probably will be misunderstood. Sorry.)

- A good film, TV show, piece of writing or piece of music is better and has more artistic merit than 99% of traditional art such as paintings, sculptures etc.

- If Louis Saha could stay fit and improve his finishing, he would be the best striker in the world. As it is, he's simply above average, in terms of top teams.

Edited to add a couple more:

- Prams should not be allowed on buses. I know it would be inconvenient for people to get their kids around, but it's very inconvenient for others on the bus. Most of the time there just isn't the room.

- The NHS should be privatised. If you introduce a service as being funded wholly by taxation (i.e. free at the point of use), and it takes only two years before you have to introduce charges at the point of use, then it's not going to work. I can't remember a time when the NHS hasn't been underfunded, and I don't think I'll ever see such a time in the future.
