    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    MA now though! Science graduates at my uni had a reasonable amounts of essays to do. The closest I get to essay writing nowadays is on here! 😂 Even then, I type quite quick, have got into poor habits and autocorrect saves me from complete gibberish at times.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    How much time does Birmingham actually have though? FFP will kick in and as others have mentioned, the investors may scale back their interest in the club and leave them in the lurch.

    7 March Free Weekend

    The only benefit for that would’ve been 20 loyalty points. Other than that, not bothered about playing Fulham.

    FA Cup 2026

    I was happy when Palace won it last year, a colleague of mine was at the game and they had the time of their life. They’ve waited near enough their entire life to win a trophy and that’s the beauty of the cup. I can’t stand it when it’s another clash between the big dogs. They don’t actually...

    This is true. However, what you’ve described is work undertaken by the private sector, not civil servants. As outlined previously, HMRC’s headcount increases was poultry considering Brexit and these are the people who enforce everything you described. Likewise, the Department for Business and...

    FA Cup 2026

    *Man City! 😂 I’ll keep an eye out for Macclesfield this FA Cup, now we have no horse in the race. They could’ve had as many seats as they wanted if they drew them away! We nearly had as many there as Stoke did.

    FA Cup 2026

    Anyone else slightly disappointed for Macclesfield? Beats Palace in the 3rd round and their reward is a home tie against Brentford. Would've been happy for them to have drawn a Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal and so on.

    Yep, I've heard this many times from the likes of Owen Jones. The point remains: it's an exception to the rule and just derails the direction of the conversation. Ultimately, who's holding these departments to account? You've got records of middle managers and those on 5-figure salaries being...

    The scramble was pre-Brexit... The 'and related workers' part is important because this includes the private sector. You're presenting the 50k as if it is part of the 120k growth, it's not. A few examples of department increases post-Brexit: - Ofgem, 165% increase in headcount (1.4k) - Office...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Was that the right policy decision though? I'm not 100% sure it was. It was a Labour government that intervened in the economy back then, probably the right thing to do given the bigger picture. It's kinda hard to have a reasonable conversation if you're going to continually reach for...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's a feeling most of the workforce in the place that I currently work at (not for long). However, the fundamental difference is that those businesses fail, they'll cut headcount and they can't just go cap in hand to central government. All roads lead to Rome, I mean Brexit. Brexit did...

    Legitimate concerns, no different from Labour it would seem.

    The taxes being levied to pay for these jobs are causing employers to cut jobs in the private sector. The only job market expanding atm is the public sector. Undoubtedly, there will be short term pain for many people. Equally, businesses and individuals are feeling the pain of propping up an...
