It’s all well and good focusing on the pay packet at the end of the month but the public sector pensions are a lot more generous than the private sector, frankly. So a sensible reform would be to reduce the pension contributions and put more money directly into the staff’s pocket. I actually...

For minimum wage work, you can literally get more living on benefits after tax. A minimum wage worker would be on about £22.5k after tax whereas UC with housing benefit and PIP would be £25k. Credit: Centre for Social Justice (CSJ). Faced with that decision, who wouldn’t live off the state...

Jake Berry…

He still has 2 years left on his contract. It’s probably not because he wants an improved contract. We’ve signed KKH and MVE has a new agent after a lot of speculation last window. He’s gearing up for a move away and people should see it for what it is. L

Worked on a lot of pull backs and the finishing looked sharp at times! Good to see the boys having a good time!

Is that near Westwood school? I’m sure this looks like the field I played rugby on many times!

The plot was a bit stupid imo. The 2nd series was good but felt the 3rd series struggled to tie up the story because the plot fragmented from a single protagonist. We knew if he didn’t do ‘x’, then ‘y’ was going to happen. There was an interesting twist but even then that didn’t make too much...

It should be relatively stable because it’s capped at 3 seasons. Not many people will go into the season above 2000+ points. Oxford, for example, will probably get to 1400+ this time.

I’ll be going to Bristol Rovers on my ones after work if anyone wants to meet up!

His season last year was arguably better than MVE’s and is generally a stronger defender. It’s worth noting that PNE conceded less goals than us and lost fewer games. The reason they finished 20th because they were absolute draw merchants.

230 + points accumulated for away tickets and cup games. If anything, given you go to most games, I’d try to keep that on DL. I can’t recall doing 5 away games in 21/22 so may ask the club for a breakdown.

Had McNulty stayed and had a good season, the question marks over whether or not he can make the jump up to Championship level would’ve been alleviated. Huge jump up for him, didn’t get any minutes and barring one good loan spell at Hibs, his career tailed off since leaving us. We definitely...

That last paragraph is revealing, don’t you think? It’s the politics of envy behind the mask of ‘social justice’. A lot of non-doms are banking of Reeves reversing the clampdown because as you point out, significant numbers of wealthy people are leaving the UK.

What is the ‘proper process?’ I’m not sure a council would convene a session to vote on what flags fly on civic buildings. Ironically, to you and all the respondents below, the ‘progress flag’ was flown without the correct ‘consent’… 😂 Yet, in the face of this, an unelected CEO of the council...

They haven’t said that’s the most important thing. They made a request, it was denied so of course they’re going to cry foul over it.

Flying the Union Jack, the flags of the home nations and the county flags standard practice. That’s the simple why. If business or individuals wish to fly ‘x, y and z’ flags outside, go for it. Go anywhere in Europe and government buildings will have the EU, national and state flags flying...

There’s only conflict because the council CEO refused the request. There would be no ‘culture war’ if there wasn’t a song and dance about the refusal. Again, if it’s just ‘fucking flags’, then accept the request and move on. The refusal only energises Reform supporters and let their leadership...

Let’s flip the script, if a left leaning council requesting the flying of the pride flag and this request was rejected by an unelected bureaucrat, would you be ok with that? After all, who gives a shit about flags?

Using that logic, why not just accept the request? Let Reform win their ‘silly game’ rather than refusing and letting them play the victim to energise their supporters. I happen to agree that government buildings should only fly the flags of the UK and the county council flags.

Well, it is a pressing issue. It’s a simple request that’s being denied and it’s a foreshadowing of what’s to come if they ever formed a government. The language of it being a ‘coup d'état’ is a bit hyperbolic from Zia Yusuf. What right does this unelected CEO have? Frankly, the idea you need...
