    Fair play to Trump here. I think he’s speaking for a majority of the world with that comment

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Sooner he’s out and there’s also regime change in Iran the better. Still hoping we can stay out of the mess over there though

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Think I read that it’s the only route any Middle Eastern countries (Saudi etc) can export oil and also China relies on oil supplies coming through here. So even if they confirmed it’s going to be shut, I can’t imagine other countries would allow this to be for long. Saying that, Putin will be...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    You can only really judge any actions on what happens next, I’m glad we haven’t been directly involved to date though. Also there’s a difference between trying to remove Iran’s nuclear capabilities (no major issue with US doing this if there was a serious threat) and regime change (not for us to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    my point was that the grooming gang scandal goes back 25 years so I can’t imagine underfunding was a problem compared to the main issues already mentioned.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I wasn’t necessity talking about the specific productivity measures, however, they have been in place for a while so should provide a steer on performance. I do agree they are imperfect for the public sector. If there are reasons and justifications for the drops from pre pandemic levels then...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There’s some that think just chucking extra money at the problem solves everything*, never inwardly looking to see how the money is spent and asking whether people are doing their jobs effectively. To the point where Ian (sorry Ian but this springs to mind) seemingly threw out that underfunding...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Just seen that the justice secretary has made a speech aligning us to the nine other countries pushing to reform the ECHR. About time One thing I’ll say about the government, whilst I don’t agree with all their policies at least they appear intent on actually doing stuff. Just hope it’s not all...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No, I was talking about the far right probably leaping on this and tarring everyone from the Pakistani community with the same brush.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Its a bit more than just poor data collection. People are still ignoring a key element of the Casey report: "We found many examples of organisations avoiding the topic altogether for fear of appearing racist, raising community tensions or causing community cohesion problems," Unfortunately ‘do...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Read yesterday that Trump vetoed Israel’s assassination plans. Not sure if true or not but right move if he did, not sure that’s the solution (see Iraq, Libya etc)
