    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agreed, everyone wants basically the same thing, at least broadly speaking. But it can definitely get worse. We've got huge problems coming down the line that nobody wants to even discuss much less actually offer a solution to. The fundamental issue of how you generate the funds to be able to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think this is an interesting point. IMO they've largely succeeded so far by not having much in the way of policies. That way they've mopped up support with a vague 'its all immigrants fault'. When they had their conference Farage was doing the rounds on the Sunday political shows and it was...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep

    You're assuming the aim is to sell out. This is the old 'all the tickets should be £10' argument. When ticket prices were dropped not enough extra tickets got sold to offset it. I would imagine Doug prefers more cash in the bank and a few hundred empty seats dotted around the ground over a sell...

    In reality that wouldn't work. Those companies have a the system set up so the workers are at arms length. The illegal workers will 'rent' logins to those services from people who are registered legally. Makes it very difficult to take any meaningful action against the companies themselves. So...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seeing a lot of 'just round up the uber drivers' type of comments on socials. Would it not be an effective strategy to boycott? If those type of companies suddenly lost a big percentage of business you can be pretty sure they'd take action. Strikes me that there's a lot of people complaining...

    Immigration and Asylum

    Some of the things your read about, or see videos off on social media, involving ICE are truly terrifying yet seem to get cheered on by some people. As you say its not unreasonable to expect someone representing a government agency such as this to turn up in a uniform, unmasked, with ID. But...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There's far more data being aggregated than most people realise. There's every chance if not the sites themselves then a third party has linked your pornhub account to your twitter account as part of a profile they have built on you. And they will then sell that information to anyone who wants...

    Would he not have been on income support if he was unemployed which would then qualify him for free prescriptions. Unless he only applied for contribution based JSA and has over £16K in the bank he would be eligible wouldn't he. Obvious question but has he actually checked they haven't made a...

    Does this not happen already? Every job I've ever had, some times even at interview stage, I've had to provide my passport and / or driving license.

    Looking at photos there's a wall, at least on some sides of the pitch, closer than we have the advertising boards.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seems to be people here who lose their minds whenever the subject comes up here but like you say in a lot of other countries it's the norm. The subject has come up a couple of times with friends from Europe who are always amazed we don't have anything in place here.

    Not the sharpest tool in the shed if he was anti-ICE given at present it appears he's only shot detainees.
