Sounds pretty similar to the way Anderson retired from international cricket.

Is that not the EU Settlement Scheme which is now closed?

I would like to think that this would be, at worst, employing young people on minimum wage however I suspect I'm going to be disappointed. We already have a huge problem with apprenticeships. We've got a decent number of people in the workforce now being paid sub minimum wage under the guise...

At the same time as saying reform are racists Starmer seems intent on spending the Labour conference doing some sort of weird Farage tribute act. If you're going to claim their racist don't start announcing similar policies!

There's obviously a need to have rental properties available for people that want them but the difference in monthly cost between buying and renting is way off. Even after my mortgage shot up when I renewed its still about £600pm cheaper than renting in the same street. And while not every...

The sports quarter thing is a bit odd. What else are they planning to have there? They've got an international athletics stadium and an international cricket stadium, neither of which are anywhere near the sports quarter. There's also an arena in the city centre designed for sports, again...

Probably worth just posting a definition of who antifa are just so we're clear who we're talking about as it sometimes gets used as a catch all term. Ripped this from wiki

There was. The Childcare & Education Expo which probably isn't what you had in mind.

So basically Saddles is in charge of making sure nothing leaks 🤔

The immigrants that are most likely to be a net cost over their lifetime are those in low wage employment. Although when you see lifetime figures thrown around they never really seem to account for the fact that a lot of low paid migration is transient and also that there's 36 million people in...

Doug is on the phone now getting the password changed

Think you need to distinguish between paying more tax for it to be passed to people who donate to political parties and paying more tax for working services. I don't particularly want to pay more tax but if I was confident it was being put to good use and having an impact I wouldn't really...

All TV channels now have got this idea that 'star' players are going to make great commentators or pundits. Surely you look back and see that the best, and most popular, have not necessarily been the biggest names in their playing days.

Interestingly this is pretty much the same thing you hear in many countries. Was listening to a Canadian podcast and they were bemoaning that wait times in A&E are up, admittedly nowhere near ours but still up from what they are used to. There's a worldwide issue that we're reliant on an...

I'm not exactly a fan of Starmer and his inability to read the room is astonishing. But having said that the amount of shit he is getting for not fixing 14 years of damage in little over a year is insane. Fair enough if you dislike him over a single issue, his inaction over Israel being a big...

Scrap that, let's go for sunshine and a 5-0 win. Plumber is already here and it's a quick (and thankfully cheap) fix.

I hope there's torrential rain and sub-zero temperatures. This is nothing to do with the fact I've woken up to a burst pipe and will now be missing the game waiting for an emergency plumber to show up.

Yeah right, the old I didn't want to go but my daughter got me tickets line ;)

This is the issue really. We're in an era of vibe based politics. Immigration being a prime example. When people are surveyed about what they think the numbers around various related things are they are generally way off which then makes it incredibly difficult to resolve to anyone's...
