    India acts against Pakistan after terrorist incident

    Its designed for temporary workers and is the same agreement with have with many other countries that nobody seems to have had a problem with up until now. The idea is if you work for an, in this instance, Indian company and they sent you to the UK for 6 months you keep paying whatever their...

    Sunderland away tickets

    But aren't there people who are building their points up by buying tickets to games they can't go to and passing them to others?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Bingo, this is also a large part in why young people are reluctant to take jobs with shit pay & conditions. They think what's the point in killing myself for a job I'll hate when I still won't be able to afford a decent standard of living and that then feeds in to the high level of mental health...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Given that mental health services are on their knees after years of austerity how do you propose we establish who needs to 'get over themselves' and who has genuine issues.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just got back from Romania, pretty much all the service workers there were Romanian. If the native population is prepared to do the jobs you're less reliant on immigrants Having said that one of our clients used to be a chain of luxary hotels (we're talking £400+ a night). The workers were...

    You don't challenge the supreme court judgement, case law is more pertinent. If and when a case reaches court it will be for that court to decide how to interpret and apply the judgement. That then becomes the reference for future cases. What they are saying is that the wording of the judgement...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The part missing here though is we need immigrants for certain jobs that the British population just does not want to do. I see friends kids complaining they can't get any work while I see places in the service or care sectors unable to fill vacancies. We either get the people already here...

    India acts against Pakistan after terrorist incident

    guess they've spent the last couple of years watching as Israel try to wipe the Palestinians out with little consequence and thought why not have a go at that ourselves.

    Have a friend who is a lawyer who specialises in safeguarding. Works on some very high profile cases taking the government and other large organisations to court over safeguarding failures. They've spent the last couple of weeks studying every detail of the verdict and say its so badly worded...

    When you order online it says its being added to your card. You then get a confirmation email which has information about how to print your ticket. And they wonder why people get confused!

    Weight and working out

    Been on holiday, didn't watch my diet at all and eating out every day. Came back to discover I'd lost half a stone in just over a week. The only times I've lost weight since I started trying back in 2010 have been when I've been on holiday or when I had a few months off work on furlough (lost...

    Not getting a head of ourselves ….

    We can win for sure but I wouldn't take beating Sunderland as a given despite their poor form. Its two games and anything can happen. If we get to the final I'd fancy our chances of beating Bristol, but again its a one off so anything can happen. Would be less confident against Sheff Utd than...

    Sunderland forum at it again

    They need to get it into their heads that they don't really register in our thoughts as rivals. It's a thing they've tried to whip up in recent years but nobody really gives a shit.

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    Possibly waiting for the home tickets to sell out so they've only got to deal with one thing at a time. Especially as it's a bank holiday. Wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement either later today or early tomorrow and then get them onsite tomorrow or Wednesday. Not like they'll last long.

    Playoff semi final tickets on sale 6pm today

    Why would they hold any back? They know it's on TV and what will be needed for that and surely they realise after the last few games people will snap up any ticket they can get.

    Clive Eakin on CWR

    I don't believe for a minute that King has had words with the BBC and got Clive the push but its not a great look to have his brother doing stuff like this as it will fuel people who do want to believe it. He posts a lot of nonsense on twitter and most of the time its easy to just ignore it but...
