    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    One could argue that the stamp duty relief drives house prices upward and means those who could purchase a £180k house holds out until the £300k house to get full advantage. It enables a skip of the ladder rung.

    Ryton looking great

    Still not got the bastard window fixed, mind.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Theresa May initially brought in the 2030 deadline. I recall when Johnson extended it to 2035 the automotive industry weren’t happy as they’d accelerated their investment plans on the understanding that ICE would be phased out by 2030 and it presented a risk that uptake would be slower than...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I look forward to him losing and then running again in 2028.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The point regarding those currently living in Greater London who are penalised for use of the car they had is reasonably fair. Strange, though, that a load of right-wing politicos (this is not levelled at anyone on here, while we’re at it) have decided this is the issue to run with. In the grand...

    You’ve quoted the Tax Payers Alliance back at me? Christ alive.

    ULEZ is recognising the negative externality of car pollution and attributing a cost to this in the hope of influencing behavioural change.

    On the verge? It was like speaking to my gran, and she’s had Parkinson’s Dementia for about 5 years!

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I’m watching the debate now (what a fun Friday morning!) - Biden is absolutely spent. Any Democrat leader with full cognitive ability could have run rings round Trump.

    Exactly what a genetically engineered illegal immigrant would say.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Anything short of the final is now failure. I also have my doubts over whether you can be suitably prepared for a big slobberknocker of a final having basically played the ‘fodder’ side of the draw. Although I do think we could easily come unstuck against at least 4 of our side of the draw.

    Part of the issue. He’s played around 100 games as a 19/20 year old in the last 2 years. He’ll be burnt out by 28.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    I’ll (figuratively) stick my fucking house on Austria if we end up playing them at any stage. Just looked and that would be a semi final if we both made it. Setting the pressure and the performances so far aside, you’d absolutely back us to beat Italy/Switzerland in a quarter final. You could...

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Would require us to try “a tactic” first. It’s fucking painful (I promise this rant isn’t aimed at you). Formations aren’t tactics. In exactly the formation we played tonight you could play with north of 10 ‘tactics’. We haven’t got a fucking clue what we want to do. It goes to the other...

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Feel like I’ll be preaching to the choir, but there’s so much more to putting players on the pitch than position. Foden can play left wing, we know this, we see it at club level. What he has around him, however, is a striker that doesn’t drift further backward than the penalty spot, an overlap...

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Why can’t Southgate just come out and say it wasn’t good enough? I’m not talking digging out individuals but no one could have watched that and been satisfied.
