    Paddy Bamford

    His record over the last few seasons casts a lot of doubt on whether he will score goals. Especially when we have two strikers who are the top two scorers in the league. Even Simms has a better scoring record than Bamford over the past few seasons.

    Thomas Asante

    I think some of that is from the rumour that we'd agreed to sign him, regardless of whether we were Championship or PL, so I think people expected him to be at a very high level technically, even if he would need time to settle in. Maybe we'll see that in due course as he does settle in, but I...

    Immigration and Asylum

    We're getting dangerously close to the "lefties aren't listening to people's concerns" shite again aren't we? If you look over my posting history on the topic you'll see numerous occasions where I agree that high levels of immigration are putting pressure on public services and provisions such...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Do you agree with the deportation of legal immigrants and even US citizens without them being given the right to prove their status? Because if the answer to that question is no, then you don't want a ICE style system in the UK. If the answer is yes, then I suggest you seriously need to review...

    And so therefore why do we want to copy that here? There is a middle ground between racially profiling people on the street for deportation and open borders you know.

    In certain cases that's very much what they're doing. People with valid right to stay in America have been picked up off the street and deported because they're Hispanic and being treated as drug cartel and gang members.

    Immigration and Asylum

    But because immigration is such a hot topic now there are so many outlets, especially social media, looking for those cases involving immigrants that even at the BBC it reaches their feeds and they know it will generate reaction and get them views so they add it in. There will undoubtedly be...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    But do you not accept that a deal to return all the hostages bodies, as per the agreement, is completely impossible because so much of it has been absolutely destroyed? How do you return a body from an area that has been completely obliterated? There is nothing left to return. Now of course the...

    I know that. Where have I said differently? You said you couldn't understand how LA control would be better. So I basically gave two ways in which whatever funding is provided can be used more efficiently than under the academy system, where public funds are given to private enterprises.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I think they've summed up how good it is in the next line after us.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Still far more coherent than anything that spews out of the Donald's mouth.

    Playoff or twist?

    I'm a socialist, so I take a slice then leave the rest for everyone else to share.

    And that's what we've been arguing for god-knows how long regarding needing higher taxes and really looking at reversing the flow of money upwards. We have to take some pain and upheaval now or we just have to have even more later. Yet all we get told is that we're living in cloud cuckoo land...

    Economies of scale. If all the schools are under one authority then some of those contracts and services can be shared across all schools. With academies every single school has to have their own set-up and cover the admin, so would be more expensive. Hence why a lot of those running academies...

    But if they had done that a generation ago before needing immigration we'd have had hugely increasing governmental costs covering the care/health sectors and massive tax rises (or even higher borrowing and therefore interest) to pay for it.

    Rangers

    I grew up with Hibs as my favourite Scots team (it was when sticker albums included the SPL in them so I picked a team) but even I would very begrudgingly prefer hearts to win it instead of Rangers or Celtic. But why did it have to be them?! Why couldn't Aberdeen, or Motherwell or literally any...

    So if we take the right wing view that wage increases will result in inflation, as the Boriswave is blamed on, if we reduce the number of migrants filling jobs that few British people want to do then one of two things happen. or both We have to massively (and I mean MASSIVELY) increase wages in...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I have increasingly thought about whether we should start considering a working week much lower than FT which people can get buy on. Work-life balance is increasingly important and could help mental health in this country (and the problems caused by it) no end. It would also increase the...
