The modern left has given up on arguing policy, it just either calls everyone they don’t like Nazis. Net migration was 50k in 1997, the Huma Rights Act wasn’t on the statute books and I’m pretty sure we weren’t living in a dystopian fascist country. Farage, Tice and Zia Yusef are all...

You make this claim as if the UK is the only European country facing the issue of illegal migration. The UK was a net recipient of asylum seekers under Dublin Framework and as it happens, this framework has ensured that EU frontier countries (Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece) are incentivised...

What’s that got to do with anything? Under the Dublin agreement, we were net-receivers of illegal migrants. The small boats crisis began in 2018 before we’d even left and likewise, the EU has its own problems with illegal migration. The Australian points style system introduced by Boris...

What the voters actually want is 0 illegal immigrants. You scoff at the Australian and Danish models of dealing with migration without really acknowledging there’s a problem at all. This is genuinely “crisis? What crisis?!” thinking. In light of Mahmood’s plans to increase ILR to 10 years, the...

He seems to be getting on quite well to be fair! He’s a player that probably has a lot of upside in the right environment. However, the stats are pretty damning for him in his time with us. We kept v few clean sheets whenever he played and whilst defending is a team effort, the correlation of...

No, but if we’re not signing players to take us forward, what’s the point? In Jan, we really can’t afford to sign ‘project’ players, they need to be starting calibre I doubt there’d be many J-League players who can come in and start for top Championship from Day 1. The standard of the league...

For the audience, what was net migration in 1986?

In fairness, we keep a lot more clean sheets and concede less goals when Thomas-Kitching played CB, than Lati-Binks, Lati-Thomas and Lati-Kitching. There is a general pattern there. He’s more comfortable in a back 3 and without crunching any numbers… I’m pretty confident theyd show two things...

If it’s the Top 16 that automatically qualify, you could have a situation where the Relegated Tier 1 teams have a playoff with promoted T2 teams for automatic spots. The year we got relegated from League A, it was obvious the players didn’t really care because it was end of the season and the...

Yes, the suggestion isn’t to exclude any teams because the principle should remain that in theory, anyone can qualify. That said, there should be common sense applied that should mandate the lowest tier nations enter qualifying at an earlier point. In principle, it’s not so different to th FA...

Also v error prone. WBA away last season did him in for good. Whenever Lati and Binks played last season as a pair, we were v likely to concede 2 goals. Those 2 selection decisions by Robins was madness and genuinely was the beginning of the end. Lati has a niche role as a CB in a 3 man...

They can and other confederations have prelims, AFC pits. If anything, integrating the Nations League into the qualification process enhances the prospects of lower tier nation. As England found out, relegation to Tier 2 in the nations league had 0 consequence so for the Nations League to stand...

For the Euros, the top 16-20 teams should qualify automatically, the rest of teams should ‘earn’ that right. The World Cup is a bit more confusing but to crack, there are some ideas floating around that are interesting. There is just no rational competition that would pit the likes of Andorra...

International trade for SMEs is undoubtedly more difficult post-Brexit. For big corporations and the like, not much has changed. What a lot of people don’t really understand about Brexit is that most EU regulations are still on the statute books. To generalise, an extensive copy and paste job...

PSA - I logged on at 14:10 and showed ‘no tickets matching this criteria’ which appeared to be a sell out. However, ringing the ticket office got it sorted so if anyone else is having issues - try ringing up!
