    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Which report, as the only reference I can find to it is an old Telegraph article which makes a fair few assumptions to arrive at that figure

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can't be arsed to go back and find it now but there was a post earlier that pretty much implied the problem was all down to 'boat people'. Another concern I have is that if we focus too closely on one group we're going to end up giving other groups an easy time as the spotlight will be off them...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Def worth a watch. Got through the whole series when I had a weekend and couple of days off work laid up on the sofa ill. One of those shows that may well improve in series 2 now the chemistry is established and the characters are more familiar.

    Just says 'a person' so I'd say not. IMO opinion we need to stop fucking around with enquiries and reports and talking about changing the law and start arresting people and locking them up.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That's not how I am reading the law: That seems pretty clear to me, if guidelines are being published with incorrect information and / or applied incorrectly that's a much easier fix than changing the law. That can be implemented today. Lets not overcomplicate things. If we're changing the law...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't think increasing the age of consent is necessarily a bad thing but my gut feeling is it would make very little difference when it comes to grooming gangs and you run the risk of criminalising huge numbers of teenagers. Is not like kids are paying attention to the age of consent as it is...

    season ticket sales

    So if we're at 20K now, plus no doubt the people who leave it to the last minute possible to add a few on, then the waiting list, then the people waiting for general sale but not prepared to pay to join the waiting list we're possibly going to be looking at breaking the record within a day or...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Never seen it but I can imagine. I think part of the issue may well be that nobody wants to admit to scale of the problem, and its a problem across all demographics. I live by a school and when I'm driving to work there's no end of middle aged guys quite blatantly staring at the kids walking to...

    season ticket sales

    mental to think back to be being sat there with rows to yourself the days of cheap parking and being able to rock up about 60 seconds before kick off and still be in your seat in time!

    season ticket sales

    20K last year was the point they said we'd set a new record wasn't it? Can anyone remember what we ended up on?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Many years ago I worked on a project for Relate and part of that involved setting up remote systems for kids to be able to get counselling in an environment they were more comfortable in. Was an eye opener for sure. Kids in care clearly very much forgotten about and left to rot in the system...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Some of it is just good old fashioned incompetence. When its been looked at as part of previous inquiries they've found issues like the forms the police use not having a box for ethnicity. Something you would think would be an easy fix. But there is an issue that if a person refuses to confirm...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Netanyahu has ignored Trump on everything to date so not really buying this story that Trump got offered a veto over any assassination plans.

    FIFA Club World Cup 2025

    Was about to post this. Clearly scheduled for European TV. Why not have it in a much smaller stadium and give tickets to schools? Think the whole tournament is a bit of a farce to be honest. We'll be a couple of weeks into the season before the managers of these teams start moaning about there...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It may well be a cop out but how many reports & enquiries do we need to sort this problem out. It was a recommendation of the last inquiry, hasn't been implemented, its now been raised again but we're looking at 5 years plus of another inquiry. Its not just in these type of cases either. Try...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not read all of it yet, its 200 pages, but the report seems to say we don't have enough data because in the majority of cases ethnicity isn't recorded. to get more details of ethnicity historically requires more scrutiny at a local level but we're no longer have local inquiries because they've...
