Of course when this happens in the private sector it's not called wasteful, it's called providing jobs elsewhere in the economy through 'trickle down'.

But we don't get that choice do we. Because they love the attention they've become the unofficial 'face' of the fans in the media. Like that prick with the bell at Portsmouth. Now I don't begrudge them that, though for me it's about watching the game not getting my face on the telly - if they...

Of course I'd like more of it to spent on frontline stuff, accepting that backroom staff and logistics are absolutely vital to making such a huge organisation run smoothly and efficiently. Just as you say it's lazy to blame Brexit it's lazy to go with the trope that government and the NHS in...

Considering tickets are supposed to just be allocated as they come out it's incredibly lucky that they seem to get to the front of the queue at exactly the point where the equivalent seats to where they sit at the CBS are the next available. Unless you're saying that at the ticket office you get...

Allen, Bell, Burroughs, Howley, Obikwu, Paterson, Ryan, Tavares, Tyler. Probably some of the young academy graduates too but don't have their contract expiry dates.

I have once seen them getting let in through one of the large exit doors while there were large queues waiting at the turnstiles. Didn't even bother going near the queues - just walked right past and towards the exit. Could be a number of reasons for that but definitely came across like they did...

Northern relative to what?

But if Russia left Ukraine immediately then we wouldn't have to spend money on helping Ukraine. So if in fact your problem is the cost to the UK taxpayer and the impact on businesses surely top of that list for the easiest win is Putin stopping invading is it not? Just because he's a...

But how long before the next one starts? Ukraine surrendering just emboldens Putin to take more countries. Should they then capitulate too? And at what point should countries stop surrendering? If he ended up working his way across Europe who should not give in in order to stop the conflict and...

It's quite amazing to see you write about bureaucrats and regulators will not bring growth when the very paragraph above you set out how bad the Labour govt is doing in terms of growth etc when they've been getting rid of a load of them, so we can safely say getting rid of them doesn't bring...

Could be some good players becoming available....;)

I'll go: Preston WBA Norwich Burnley Leicester All beat us most of the time and the bottom ones are cheating c****. However, this is the tip of the iceberg and could include Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea, Real Madrid, MK Dons. Also not a fan of the likes of Wrexham and Sheffield Wednesday fans...

Don't believe you. If i was Nick he would've then two-footed the ref for sending him off.

And the point I'm making is the 'funding' behind tax cuts is totally erroneous. People say "ah, but we're making cuts so they don't need funding!" when in fact they very much do because you should have to factor in the fact tax revenues go down because of people out of work and welfare and...

What's that stand for? Twatman?

No she didn't. She gave massive tax cuts to people that could afford the tax. Where have I ever suggested that? And you were the one that mentioned 'shock therapy'. And what you suggests makes as much economic sense. Let's put lots of people out of work, reducing the tax take while...

So we need shock therapy in a way that has never worked before and just led to further contraction of the economy. Why would that shock therapy be good but shock therapy the other way around be a disaster?

This is probably a stupid question but let's say Doug agrees a new 10 year lease with Frasers. Would that mean that in a years time because there's only 9 years left the agreement isn't enough for the EFL requirement? And if it is how long is it before they deem it not long enough? Could we get...

While a 'don't lose' seems sensible, I fear that messages like that make players nervous and play more defensively, creating a poor performance. I think "Go out there for the win, but a draw would be ok" is a better message, even though it effectively says the same thing.

Cutting down the public sector was a massive part of the austerity measures - how did that go? Just cutting jobs leads to people out of work and increased welfare costs against reduced tax revenues. It makes the situation worse. As for how much the public sector as a % should be, that depends...
