    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's kind of funny to see some of these arguments as they're basically making the same argument that is made for universal basic income. Pretty sure those on the right of the political spectrum who are arguing against withdrawing WFP would be up in arms if Starmer or Reeves suggested bringing...

    Road closures

    I was going off the map posted, go up Winding House Lane and turn right in to Wheelwright and it was clearly outside the zone on that map, same with Burbages Lane which was the other road asked about. Did they extend the residents parking zones at some point? There's not much information on the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Latest figures I can find are from 2 weeks ago and at that point 40K had signed up for pension credit since they announced they would no longer give WFP. The application process is needlessly overcomplicated and IMO could easily be automated. Clearly they know how much you are receiving even...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Someone's going to need to tell me which bit of this I'm supposed to be mad at and which part is supposed to be negative. Seems a perfectly reasonable article

    Parole series

    Can't argue with that, think people underestimate how much thinks like cutting funding for things like mental health and addiction services impact. Found the bit at the end of this show about how they do things different in Norway, and the difference in reoffending rates, interesting...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    tbf what the ministers said was absolutely spot on so no surprise to see they've been rebuked by Starmer who has chosen to side with the billionaires over the workers

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Can't think of any football clubs who went bust, missed a couple of seasons, and then got dropped straight into the Championship.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    what happens if the current 2nd tier teams stick together and tell the RFU to do one. They can't have a tier 2 with just 3 teams they are trying to parachute in. or is this like when we get to 'choose' things like if we want PL u21s to play in the EFL Trophy, you get a vote but if you vote no...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Remember doing some digging when Wasps were up here telling anyone who would listen that rugby was going to be as popular as Premier League football and the viewing figures are absolutely appalling. That was in our League 1 days and one of our games on Sky got more viewers than they got for the...

    Cricket 2024

    Can't imagine there's ever been a game where going into the third innings you were more certain of a draw being inevitable Guess you could put the first couple of wickets down to fatigue after being in the field in ridiculous heat for so long but someone should have been able to dig in and...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Greece deserved that, even a draw would have been harsh on them England need a massive rethink. The FA have put a system in place to have a conveyor belt of managers without having to attract names but it was boring under Southgate and it looks like it's boring & shit under Carsley.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Wonder how much they are paying. Did see a report a year or two ago that they had to roll contacts over for additional years on the same terms as there was zero interest. Can't imagine ITV have gone in high for rights they know nobody else is bidding for. Not sure 7 live games a season is quite...

    .

    We're in an era where people are hiding at training grounds and flying drones to try and get the slightest bit of information. Not a huge leap to think it's known by other clubs that there's a leak and the team will be posted in advance week in week out. Do I think we're losing games because of...

    The club absolutely should sort this shit out but the other issue is once someone gets one thing right every other thing they say gets taken as gospel
