I appreciate you're offering it as an opinion rather than fact, which is fair enough, but it's a fairly solidly put together study. Let's say you're right though, even then the cohort that *might* leave would presumably be those newly claiming non-dom status from 2017 onwards. I don't know how...

Nuts to banners, bring back rattles, that's what I say.... 😁

Actually this independent study suggests completely the opposite with regard to non-dom tax status. In broad brush terms, it suggests that non-dom status costs us plenty of revenue (3.2 billion p.a.), and there's no evidence to suggest that removing it would lead to anything like the exodus...

Given how utterly bloody useless it's been for us, I'm voting for the Maginot Line.

Well, we're not out of it at least...

Yeah, it feels like we're relying on a bit of magic from Vik rather too much...

Where's the press? Are we hoping they'll just tire themselves out?

Hopefully we'll wake up when they score.

This is ugly. I can't bear this thing where players break down the wing and then turn back and roll it backwards to start all over again. Complete lack of ambition and a piece of piss to defend against. Grindingly boring too. I blame Gareth Southgate. 😁

Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but my criteria for a good pub are: Looks and smells like a pub, the older the better, but shoes shouldn't stick to the floor. Has a reasonable range of beer, ideally with a hand pump bitter that doesn't rip your head or wallet off. (Anywhere...

Morning @Brylowes, hope you're not in need of too much rehydration today. Outstanding effort last night, I did try to warn you about the 4Ps, in fairness. 😁 What I meant was that I'd never realised the room in the Town Wall was called the Donkey Box. I've probably been past that door a...

Good effort @Brylowes mate, I'd be struggling by now. If you're going downhill it's the Four Ps, which can get a bit too leery for my advanced years, but I doubt it'll bother you too much. I'd say skip it and head to The Old Dyers or The Broomfield instead, but they might be closed by now - I...

Bugger me, all of the times I've been in the Town Wall (which is many), and I've never noticed it's actually called the Donkey Box. I'd never heard the term until you mentioned it at the start of the thread. Hope you're having a great evening mate, keep us updated, I can restart my drinking...

Might explain why there were only about half-a-dozen teenagers in there. (This was early Saturday night.) Don't get me wrong, it wasn't hostile, but there was bugger all atmosphere in there and the place is completely sterile - traditional decor all removed, monotone paint throughout, window...

I wouldn't bother with The Nursery any more. One of my favourite proper pubs back in the day, completely wrecked now. I've no idea what's going on there, it's very odd.

That's a real pity, it might have been one of the better policies proposed by the Tories. Leasehold is a vast scam and there is a booming business in sweeping them up and preying on the unwary. Inevitably it hurts the most vulnerable and poorest - the ones who can't access funds to buy...

I don't care what shirt we play in as long as we can bring back pantaloons for at least one season. 😄

Senses are a Cov band that are building a decent following. Not sure if they've got enough to sponsor the shirt yet though! https://spillmagazine.com/spill-new-music-senses-drop-your-arms/

Beg to differ, NW. The point of the opposition is to rigorously scrutinise, oppose, and propose alternatives during the lifetime of parliament, not just in the last few months when there's an election looming. Otherwise they might as well not bother to be there. Corbyn undoubtedly had many...

I watched PMs questions for the first time in a while yesterday and I thought Sunak actually did quite well with that line of attack because it's very hard to defend. Like it or not, Sunak also nailed Starmer on his complete lack of policies. At some point you'd imagine Labour will have to...
