    Oxford United FC New Stadium

    I don't think it was ever clarified when the council actually received the funds but you'd assume with Richardsons wealth he could provide bridging finance. The ACL loan wasn't repaid until after the bond was fully subscribed...

    Facebook and Godden

    Would be a bit odd to let Walker go out on loan if we knew Godden was having an op and would be out for weeks. Even if we weren't planning on him starting in Goddens absence it leaves us pretty thin on the ground. Waghorn hasn't played a first team game since October has he? With the number of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Isn't the reverse true now though? The idea that there was no anti-semitsm pre-Corbyn, masses during Corbyn's time as leader and now he's gone its not a problem again seems unlikely to me but that's certainly the impression you would get as an outsider.

    Interesting thread about food prices and how inflation doesn't impact all demographics equally. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1483778776697909252.html

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You can't be talking about a broad church when on the day a Conservative MP joined Labour you had Reeves talking about falling membership being a good thing as the members leaving "should never have joined the Labour Party. They never shared our values".

    Apparently a CLP meeting has been called for tonight but don't know much about the internal workings of the Labour Party to know if there's much they can do about it but they don't sound happy.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Looks like the much-delayed flying car airport, which in reality is a temporary proof of concept exhibition, is not now going to be at the CBS and instead will be at Westminster Road car park. Edit: turns out its not even that and what they had planned at the CBS isn't actually allowed legally...

    Well Wakeford himself sponsored a bill proposing that a recall petition should be automatically triggered if a MP changed political affiliation.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Completely agree with this, increasingly looks like this has, at least for now, saved Johnson. I get the argument that Labour has to be a broad church but not sure you have much credibility if you're admitting someone to the party who, according to leaked WhatsApp messages has been calling the...

    This is truly horrendous

    This is obviously an extreme case of modern slavery but I think some people might be surprised how many similarities there are between this and working conditions in some places that are perfectly legal. My company used to do some work for a chain of luxury hotels, we're talking £400 and up a...

    Wait until they find out about the government selling patient data to third parties, they'll be furious.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Was a bit of an odd ramble. Says we have to remain cautious and that Omicron is not mild for everyone but then says he's removing the few mitigations we have in place and trusting people to make the right choices.

    Bin Strikes

    That's great in theory but as someone put it on the radio the other day the current working generation are on their 4th 'once in a lifetime' situation in under 15 years that they're being expected to weather. We had the global financial crisis, followed by austerity, brexit and covid. The...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    If they did decide to move back to London I don't think the training ground is much of an issue. They took over an existing facility and as much as they claim its 'state of the art' there's not that much that has changed since it was a community facility. Could easily be reverted back to its...

    What exactly is it people are wanting to do that they are being prevented from doing with the current rules in place?

    That data already exists. The problem is cause of death is back filled for weeks or even months so it is pretty useless for making decisions based on the current situation...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Wasps going bust isn't the issue is it, isn't the stadium lease held by another company in the group so unless the whole group goes bust the ownership of the lease won't change and our current agreement will remain valid. Is it not more likely that, if they were in that much trouble and...

    Thanks for asking. He's still in hospital and not in a good way. Its not an easy situation as the hospital isn't allowing visitors so you're reliant on brief phone calls with doctors if you're lucky enough to be able to get hold of one. If he does survive this and come out they are saying he...
