I do think having English as the world language is a double edged sword here. Firstly it means here is going to be first choice for a lot of immigrants who couldn’t get to America or Australia (so most immigrants), but it also means most people speak our language. My GFs parents get really...

You’d still have to explain why we’re the only ones to not manage to find an appropriate player

The birth rate didn’t start dropping under the Tories. We’re actually doing better than a lot of western nations I believe but it’s been a while since I checked the stats.

Look id just woken up allow me some bad mental maths 😂

The nice thing about schools is non English speaking parents usually come with an English speaking translator (their kid). I can remember one kid who I taught in ten years who couldn’t understand English. That was a German girl who for six months said she needed her mate to translate for her...

£43m/year, if your figures are correct, is a tiny amount of money. We spent 1.2tn a year and £181bn a year on the NHS alone. Probably far less than the wage cost of extra hours spent on patients misunderstanding staff. You’re often conveying complex medical terms that need to be precisely...

1-2 years 🤣 How about you prove you can play 90 mins first mate.

Players are banned for saying in private another player is a c**t? I doubt that. And they’re banned from performance enhancing drugs it’s just a witch hunt man. He said online about booking someone and then booked him. People need to chill out. The standards we hold celebrities to just because...

Still think this is a cunty mate story more than anything. Blokes allowed to get wrecked and vent in his time off FFS a d yes even suck a few cocks while at it. Who gives a fuck? If he’s interfered in an actual game that’s one thing but this is tabloid gossip bollocks mostly.

Any player who willingly dives into the shithole that is any fans discussion deserves everything they get. If any of you are reading this: log off and spend your fat wedge on hookers and blow and leave us to it. We’re all idiots.

Just pokes you in the back, it’s not a massage at all. And as for the happy ending…

There is no population plan. Every country is trying including a lot of quite authoritarian ones trying things Brits wouldn’t be comfortable with. As income goes up the opportunity cost of children goes up with it and people have fewer kids. It’s happening everywhere peoples incomes have gone up...

Funny argument this cos it’s the same everywhere bar Africa. So either every country has to figure out an economy not reliant on an expanding population or we’re hoping Africans stay poor enough to repopulate everywhere.

Isn’t that just Swansea TBF?

There was a time when the BBC wouldn’t just uncritically platform conspiracy theorists yeah. I remember the debate around Nick Griffin on QT, or that MPs spouting nonsense would be ignored or ridiculed rather than given their own show. I’m a big believer in the idea that lack of gatekeepers has...

If you’re counting Off Topic that’s easy.

Can you elaborate? I think most immigrants over time do integrate. Even the Deliveroo drivers when I taught their kids they were pretty British. Watched football, drank in pubs, spoke with an accent exceedingly rare, etc.

Then call me David Cope-erfield
