Precisely this. Pointing at Blair whilst disregarding Boris is ludicrous. This is the first Government in living memory that has attempted to avoid parliamentary scrutiny, broken parliamentary convention, and simultaneously proposed doing away with judicial review. That might sound trivial...

What utter fucking bollocks. I love my country as much as anyone, but I want it to be safer and better for everyone - black, white, gay, straight, rich, poor. I’m just not stupid enough to vote for some fat, corrupt, racist c**t, who’s only there to look after his mates. That doesn’t make my...

Bigger crowd than usual too, at least twice the number of paying punters than normally attend. :)

In fairness Rowley’s Green is a lot like Monaco. If Wasps could persuade the Council to widen the canal to take super yachts then it’d be right up there...

What I really want to see here, is the business case. What money will come into Coventry as a result of giving Wasps this grant? Conversely, were any other Coventry businesses invited to apply for this grant and/or could it have instead been used to improve transport, cycling or other cultural...

That in part, but also to protect their friends at the Council, who as we have seen are in a position to grant extravagant favours from the public purse, smooth awkward planning issues, and continue to push CCFC into a corner. It’s almost beyond a joke now, this is the era of ‘get elected and...

Name a city in England where that isn't the case?

As at the start of the epidemic, I think the most dangerous thing here is a casual attitude. If we'd have locked down earlier, there's a pretty solid body of evidence that a large number of lives could have been saved. Similarly, it's not unreasonable to consider that if we unwind lock-down...

I’m glad too. Gets stuck in and seems to pop up all over the pitch. Happy knack of scoring key goals too, which I think is a reflection of his work rate as much as his finishing. Would be great to see him push on even more next season...

Yep, I saw him and his mate flying away late afternoon/evening. I’m sure it’s not as much fun as it looks, but if anyone fancies paying for my training and buying me a helicopter I’ll be happy to provide lifts to every away game next season. :)

I don’t understand the dancing around here, there’s an indemnity clause NW, it’s black and white. Wasps wanted people to think there wasn’t, we now know there is.

I’d have to disagree, it’s out now that there is an indemnity... Wasps categorically stated that there wasn’t in their ‘clarification’ statement which read thus: “However, Wasps did not insist on an indemnity clause as has been claimed – this claim is simply false. In addition, nothing in the...

SBT - you win. Nothing that I can say is going to explain it more clearly than that. Time I knocked off for the night and watched the cricket. (Yes, I pass the Tebbit test, btw, in case anyone is worried about that). :)

This is pretty close to how I see it, but to me that reads very much as an 'indemnity' requested by Wasps to prevent SISU taking further action against the Council in the event that the EU complaint is found to be valid. That action could be along the lines of a judicial review (yippee!) to...

Sorry shmmee, talking about Canley station here - which is definitely t'other side of the A45 (there is a subway under it for the brave and reckless though, iirc). I'd say there's still a slice of land between the station and the posh side of the A45, that might still be considered 'Canley'...

Just to help out with the terminology here: English living abroad = ex-pat Foreigner living in England = immigrant Ex-pats are expected to live in their own enclaves, and make a virtue out of not learning the language or following the local customs (especially if the local custom is to avoid...

I think I'd have to politely differ here, Mark. Canley to Warwick's main campus is a fair trek, and you have to cross the A45. Canley to any part of Warwick Uni that hasn't yet been built on (i.e. that could hold a stadium), would need a base camp and a kilo of Kendal Mint Cake, if you wanted...

Some opposition fans are quite good sports and it’s fun to have them on here, and some are arrogant pricks who you can’t wait to get bored and disappear. Guess which camp you fall into sunshine...

Well if they’re not close to sharp and at full strength now then they ought to worry - their season starts next week. That was our first game in 140 days, according to the commentary...

i.e. “I’m too lazy and careless to bother doing any research but I’m pretty sure I’m right anyway.”
