It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Regarding the name, they probably wouldn't be told to change it, but there is a new rule about that. Moving grounds happens all the time, but since Wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes the new rule stops clubs who move outside their "community" retaining the community's name (ironic as Wimbledon hadn't played in their community for the ten years before that anyway).Comment

Which would be the most sensible option?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Why did Spurs want this stadium anyway?
Why not re-develop WHL?
Is it because they wanted a bigger stadium than the plot at WHL would support?Comment
