The concern would be we haven't come close to getting the numbers down as low as last summer. The hope would be that the vaccines will mean that isn't as big a problem as last year. Find the unwillingness to push the button on boosters odd given that we supposedly had them on order months ago...

Not sure if this is really annoy or more a wtf. Do way more people not work than I've always thought? I've always assumed that, unless you've on benefits (so unemployed or unable to work for health reasons), in education or a pensioner pretty much all adults would be in the workforce. Having...

Brilliant news mate, can't imagine what its been like going through that.

They were discussing pensions on Sky News the other day and someone referred to a study showing ours to be the third worst in the world behind only Brazil and South Africa. Remember thinking that can't possibly be right but maybe it is.

Don't worry, that's another manifesto promise they're planning to break. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/pensions-triple-lock-12million-brits-24901780

Nor do I but needing to pay for care isn't something that they've suddenly discovered so why the manifesto promises? And of course they've picked the tax that means those earning about £50K aren't hit as hard as those on lower wages. Sadly having once again been presented with an open goal by...

Look at the replies to that tweet. There's already people in there defending them for breaking their manifesto promise.

That can’t possibly be true. First page of the Conservative manifesto for the last election was a guarantee from Johnson not to raise National Insurance.

Sad state of affairs when you think of how bad things were in Brazil and now they don't want people from the UK coming in. No idea how they thought they'd get away with it. Not like they play for low profile clubs over here or were trying to get into Brazil for a quiet holiday hoping nobody...

Must be hard making decisions like this for your kids. None of us are experts and personally I have little confidence that the government are always acting in our best interests.

This caught my eye so had a look at the report on full fact. For any parents out there that may have this decision to make probably worth highlighting some other parts of the piece. The figures have been extrapolated from self reported conditions on VAERS, the US equivalent of our yellow card...

When's the next phone in on CWR? Someone is bound to call up and demand Robins gives him a contract.

Welcome to old age.

I haven't watched Casualty in years but I don't remember it being particularly woke.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000q5hp/storyville-red-penguins-murder-money-and-ice-hockey If you look at Storyville on iplayer there's a few in there that might be worth a watch.

I signed on for a short time when I was made redundant many years ago. Even the most motivated person would lose the will to live after a visit to the dole office. I've got a degree and they made me do a test to see if I could read and write and then a day of how to write a CV, followed by a...

I'm not sure being on any benefits, disability or otherwise, is an easy wheeze. When I thought my job was in danger at the start of covid I had a look at what I'd be entitled to and it didn't even begin to cover my bills and housing costs. I could have probably lasted a month or two until I'd...

The thing is you can't ignore his background. We all know what he was like the first time he was here as players who were in the squad with him have openly talked about it. Since then he appears to have pretty swiftly been dumped by every club that's given him a chance so its not surprising that...

Hope it was beer

What are the stats for free kicks scored by shooting under the wall? Seems a waste of a player to have someone lying down to prevent something I can't really remember ever seeing happen.
