Regarding the title, "Why the Danes do it better", it sometimes makes one wish that Canute had more heirs or of Hardecanute lived longer and had more heirs. Maybe that whole North Sea Empire thing would have been longer lasting and England would have been part of it rather than what happened instead in our reality!
Ms Arden I believe resided in Acton during the 90s/00s. It was full of young aussies at the time Whence Arden was working for Labour/Blair anyway. You may (Ed) have met her (Ms Arden) in person. Walked past her in a tube station - Along with Asma Al Assad.
Also Mrs Boris Johnson is a St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College Girl.
For the first time this week, at two different Underground Stations, I saw signs warning that fare dodging is a crime. I pointed at them and said "The Jenrick Effect" to my wife. But more importantly, did you know he's taken medication to help reduce his weight, and he's not even a London MP?
I do wonder why the UK didn't play hardball like Denmark when it came to fishing rights and housing benefit for EU citizens - it could have made recent history of the UK very different.
I think the problem was the UK politicians were the only true believers in the EU - all the rest just wanted what was best for them.
Of course the real reason why Denmark is different from the UK is the population density.
(137.0 per km compared to 279 in UK, 426 England). That is why they don't care about second home owners). If they had all 6 babies they would be like the UK in 30 years)
Re: the benefits system creates a strong couple penalty for those in work, creating a strong incentive to live apart.
To what extent is this true in the UK? It isn't with the NHS of course-- unlike the US where it is crucial factor in Medicaid eligibility. Does any government prorate benefit eligibility thresholds to marriage so that a married couple still qualifies for assistance at twice the income a single person does?
Re: 4.1 million people in England and Wales are on an incapacity or disability benefit - that’s one in seven adults in the North East and Wales.
Does the age of this people skew older, indeed much older, nearing retirement age? In the US employers preferentially layoff older workers and will not hire them (our age discrimination laws have fewer teeth than the average hen) so very often disability benefits are the only possible income for such people.
Are you saying that in Australia you can only get low alcohol beer at the cricket? That might be a sensible compromise at the football, it's always frustrating not to be able to enjoy a drink, especially when spurs are at their worst. You can of course drink yourself stupid at the cricket and rugby in this country.

I have always found 10 Cent Beer Night to be an entertaining story.

Come on Ed, you know we all want to see these:
but I’m not sure who except me would find stuff like ‘the world’s shortest wars’ and ‘people offered the throne of Albania’ interesting.

I think so - someone might need to fact check me though!
I suspect cocaine is the issue now.
I can do it in January at the Sydney Test. Will report back.
It certainly is an attraction going to rugby games.
