Is there any actual evidence that people in minority groups are flying planes, running ATC etc without the appropriate training and qualifications?

Is that Andy Streets plan or the VLR? Pretty sure the Cov bit was the last bit planned to be built of Streets plan so I wouldn't be confident we get any of it.

Its on the same route so I guess they're starting with one small bit and then if that works adding to it. Presumably will just be running empty as nobody is going to use it for an actual journey. Maybe one trip just to see what its like if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Earlier this week the council approved 220 metres of track being installed from the Warwick Road / Greyfriars Road roundabout to Ikea.

There is obviously a belief there is room or why are we wasting money developing the VLR. Although I'm not entirely sure why we're reinventing the wheel and can't use one of the many existing systems.

This is a huge part of the problem. There's not many options coming through and the ones that are they seem to coach any raw talent out of them. Look at Izzy Wong, in the England team, picked in the IPL etc then it was decided her action needed 'improving' and she can barely hit the strip to...

HS2 on the route I go. They've currently got the road I take closed for a month to join the existing road to a new road. Closed for a month for less than a metre of tarmac! Added bonus the 3 shortest / quickest alternative routes have all been closed at the same time. My best option now is down...

Don't worry, we're building a light rail from the train station to the Skydome so that will solve all the problems

I live south cov and drive away from the city centre so I'm OK but if I have to go towards town it can easily take 15 minutes just to get out of my road. There seems to be no flow to anything, pardon the pun. The lights will go green at the bottom of my road but they are never in phase with the...

Tour has been an absolute fucking shambles. Not saying its easy to beat the Aussies, especially over there, but this has just been a disaster. Not even close to making a mark. Maybe this will give things a much needed shake up as this has been a long time coming. Ever since the Commonwealth...

mates mom also worried about losing her job at the moment. lives in a small town where there's not much work besides government jobs so obviously worried that if it happens with so many people being laid off will they all be able to find work before the 8 months pay period is over. there seems...

I mean what do you want, me to make up issues I witnessed 😂 😂 😂

I did see some senior police bod saying that the supermarkets should stop complaining about the rise in shoplifting if they won't employ staff.

Not sure telling people who have been to other countries to pipe down because their personal experience doesn't match yours is really a good way to debate.

If losing our culture means there's not 101 posts every week on facebook about what colour bin to put out I'm all for it

Same at the Asda near me, now only 2 actual tills. Wouldn't be so bad but there's never any staff, or at most one person, covering the never ending errors on the self checkouts so its just a huge bottleneck of people stood there unable to do anything.

But what you're describing there changes over time irrespective of immigration so not really sure how restricting the number of foreigners coming into the country is going to solve that. Personally that's not what I consider the culture of a country so maybe you're all arguing about something...

😂 😂 😂 fucking hell, A+for the sweeping generalisations. Don't want to shoot them down one by one or anything remotely like that. I want an idea of what culture people are fearing is on the verge of disappearing because I'm struggling to think of a single thing I'm concerned is about to vanish...

Lets not do what? If people are saying that British culture is being overwritten with foreign influence then we need to establish what they think is at threat and what is acceptable foreign influence and what isn't. Which of these thousands of unspoken rules and customs you refer to are on the...
