    Nobody is saying that but you've saying him employer should send him on an educational course when he doesn't have an employer.

    Yorkshire Cricket racism scandal

    He's been without a contract for the last 3 seasons and hasn't played a single first class game. Not sure who you think is going to send him on a diversity training program.

    New Job Doubts

    I lived in the East. Someone once pulled a gun and threatened to shoot me for stopping at a red light! To be fair it worked, I put my foot down immediately!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Too much attention is paid to focus groups and the like and trying to make them something they aren't. Can't be a coincidence that pretty much all leaders, of both parties, come across better post leadership when they don't have the political machine telling them what to do.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Is there a limit to how many terms he can have in Manchester? If there isn't it must be very tempting to stay there rather than make a bid to get back into parliament.

    New Job Doubts

    When they say go down there are they talking about leaving early in the morning / getting home late so you can do a full day in the office there or being paid to sit on a train? In my current job I'm out and about a lot and what was supposed to be local only soon seemed to change to the whole...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    How do you solve the problem of people traffickers if every country wants to make it as hard as possible for asylum seekers to enter the country? I'm sure clinging to a dinghy isn't the preferred mode of travel. Hard to tell what percentage of asylum seekers arrive that way as the Home Office...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    I think too many things are being mixed up here. Are people objecting to the method of arrival, the number coming over or the fact that we should not be taking any refugees other than those arriving directly from the country they are fleeing?

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Didn't Jack Straw try that argument when he was Home Secretary and lose in court?

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    What are the official channels? Is there a 'proper' way for those in France to claim asylum in the UK. We know that 'stay in the first safe country' thing is a myth. What status do they actually have in France, or any other country, if they haven't claimed asylum there?

    If you leave a bag of Haribo in your car in the summer you end up with one massive Haribo!

    New Job Doubts

    They could take it either way but given there's a new boss in place if you massage their ego a bit doubt it would be too hard to leave them with the impression you've changed your mind because they're so fantastic!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The man of the people stuff doesn't seem to actually relate to their background though. Look at Johnson, he's hardly had a tough upbringing and he's considered a man of the people. Not sure Sunak has the personality to pull it off though, as has been said it may be playing into Starmers hands...

    Away-Friendly pubs near the CBS Arena

    Guess they could, whether they want to or not is a different story. Have they started opening them up earlier than 6:30pm now?

    Away-Friendly pubs near the CBS Arena

    I'm starting to wonder if someone at the stadium wants there to be trouble. No trains to get Brum fans from the station in town to the ground. Not going to let them in the casino so you'll end up with them wandering around trying to find places locally. It doesn't seem like a great plan.

    New Job Doubts

    I lived in London for a few years because I needed to for work and in theory its great as there's so much going on in London. In practice everything is so ridiculously expensive unless you're getting a huge increase then you won't see much benefit. Speaking personally the idea of commuting...

    Away-Friendly pubs near the CBS Arena

    Casino is probably the best / only option. There's no a lot of places around the ground for home fans let alone away fans!

    Rail and bus travel from city centre

    If they postpone it when will they play it? Infrastructure isn't going to magically appear. If they were that concerned about trouble they could bubble them like they do with Southampton v Portsmouth but it really would be overkill. If they are certain there is going to be trouble then just...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Been to Walsgrave a few times recently and its a joke. The main entrance in particular is a nightmare. They've put a one way system in place that everyone ignores and loads of people just stood around having a chat or not going anywhere that you've got to get past.

    There's a lot of people on here that turn up week in week out. There's a lot of people on here I wouldn't want anywhere near running our football club. ;)
