    Is Maddison a joker?

    Indeed, I messaged SkyBet during the Mowbray season to request odds for him being in England’s Euro 2020 squad. They never got back to me unfortunately. Regretting not going into a betting shop to request odds now!

    More Wasps BS?

    I have a feeling that long-term we will see a European Super League break off and the English leagues revert to a salary cap system when two or three of the bigger mid-table clubs go pop.

    Why have you diverted from inheritance tax to pensions now?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    There’s no attributable quotes to back up the notion that it’ll be reduced to £125k. Besides, knowing the progressive nature of Labour’s tax initiatives it’ll be incremental tax bands up from that rather than a set %age as it is currently.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    My point being if property(ies) were accumulated through 10 generations with no tax liability it would normalise some absolutely colossal portfolios. IHT generally sees the breakup of portfolios rather than the taxing of single properties.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Moreover, one of the points of inheritance tax when it comes to property is to keep the market liquid. If property could be handed down through the generations en masse then you’d find that there would be limited stock for sale.

    I’m just quoting this post so it can’t be edited at a later time, as that is one of the most outrageous things I’ve seen.

    Never mind a lot of teams, a lot of businesses do this nowadays. It keeps the property safeguarded from any potential business ‘difficulties’. As long as it was retained in the same group of companies I wouldn’t be overly concerned.

    I'm A Celeb 2019

    She gets a bit grumpy if we sit in separate rooms watching different things. I’ll cope!

    I'm A Celeb 2019

    Oh joy. Find the programme and the concept really naff, but I’ll still end up watching it to keep the other half happy.

    General Election 2019 thread

    I’ve largely stopped bothering with social media as well. Drives me crazy that some peoples’ lives are governed by it, and find it quite embarrassing that grown adults struggle with independent thought when presented with a quote and a picture on Facebook - though I am a born cynic so it leads...

    VAR

    Agree with this, don’t really understand why they don’t show stuff on the big screen. Obviously it makes sense for those in VAR HQ to bring the referee’s attention to incidents he may have missed/incorrectly interpreted but, as you say, follow rugby’s example where the TMO is generally...

    Rugby World Cup

    Agree with all of that apart from the “have to have played” tag. Never played rugby but feel I’ve watched enough to have a good handle on the rules. There was certainly some inconsistency with the holding calls yesterday but with SA committing more bodies generally to breakdowns it was...

    Don’t know enough about the situation; have the non-signers now been dismissed? It’s actions like this that lead me to generally avoid supermarkets as much as possible and use local independent shops as much as I can. Granted, it works out more expensive but local community is something I value...

    Farage wants election 'alliance' with Tories Ah, that plan of the Tories and BXP not colluding lasted long.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I disagree and am of the opinion that the media play a larger role than you think in the perception of both party leaders. I’m not going to claim that it’s all the media and have actually specified that some of the coverage around being a poor leader is correct. I also don’t doubt that many are...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    There are two reasons I think Labour may struggle in this election. Firstly, the remaining fractures within the PLP that undermine a lot of the good policy work done, and secondly the media portrayal of Corbyn that has been embedded since he came to become leader. From my experience, many people...
