    This is truly horrendous

    That will serve as a great deterrent to anyone else involved in this sort of appalling treatment of the vulnerable.

    Sky Blue Tavern

    Exactly this, people have moaned for years that we don't have things like this. Now we have them, they benefit the club and are run by people who are clearly keen to listen and improve things where required.

    The CBS

    Great to see, looks much better. Is the giant Wasps logo at the main entrance gone completely or are they waiting for a replacement to be installed now they've changed to a cartoon version of their logo? Irrespective of your thoughts on Wasps looks much better without it tbh, not a very...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Good news, KP has ruled himself out from running English cricket. Can't think of anyone worse to be in charge of making important decisions.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Plenty of data available on cancer and heart disease. Of course having 'live' data for both those conditions isn't as important as they aren't contagious and therefore don't need to be responded to in a similar way to covid.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This seems a decent summary of what other European countries are doing. Although I'm not sure 'would you rather live in Germany' is much comfort to a pensioner who can't afford to heat their home...

    Gas and Electric

    At some point you're screwed as even if you're on a fixed tariff your bill will shoot up when that expires. Essentially the cap is the maximum they're allowed to charge you in a year and that's been increased by £693, a 54% increase. Your only hope is that at some point you can get on a fixed...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    With superb timing on the day Shell announced profits of £13bn for the fourth quarter of last year alone and a plan to pay £6bn to shareholders in a share buy back Sunak has raised the energy price cap 54%, an extra £693 per year for people to find. Struggling families shouldn't worry though as...

    That's good news, looking at the other fixtures with the same kick off time thought we might not be an international live game. Should be pretty easy to find a stream.

    Tax for bankers cut from 8% to 3% on profits over £25m. That’s a loss of £1bn a year in tax revenue.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That's not strictly true from what I remember. Seem to recall there were a lot of people calling for NHS workers to be given priority access to vaccines and testing to ensure the safety of patients. Lets be honest here the u-turn hasn't been made on any scientific basis its been made as the...

    “This failure occurred on his watch and was therefore, ultimately, his responsibility” possibly not the best thing for the Conservatives to be pushing at the moment given what's gone on under Johnsons watch.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Saw a post on the local Facebook group that since the government dropped masks in schools cases have gone through the roof which has led to increased absence and as a result masks are being re-introduced. Nobody could have possibly predicted that. Quick google suggests they are far from the...

    Things that annoy you

    My neighbour has decided that instead of having his Amazon deliveries made on a day that he's home, or to his parents or grandparents that both live in the same street, he will instead have them all delivered when he's not in and tell the driver to leave them at my house. One or two, no problem...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm not Starmer's biggest fan but that was a decent performance. As ever the problem is not enough people pay attention to things like PMQs so you are reliant that the soundbites that make it to the mainstream media are representative of what those who watch PMQs have actually seen. Think the...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    In an emergency nobody is going to check if the person treating you is jabbed or not, that's a ridiculous suggestion. You would act the same as people do now, you'd trust that the appropriate regulations are in place to minimise any risk to you.

    Heading for an exciting finish in the U19s World Cup semi. Afghanistan need 43 from the last 4 overs left. 4 wickets left. Fingers crossed England make it to the final.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The paying inflated prices one is bad on two fronts, bad enough that they were dishing out contracts to their mates but even if you justify that as an emergency situation the pandemic planning exercise they did a few years ago highlight a lack of PPE and should therefore have been sorted at that...
