    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well if you're taking out loans and mortgages for private school you clearly can't afford to do it.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Going back to the Great Depression it's been shown that during recessions it's spending that makes the biggest difference. The building of 30Rock in NY made a significant difference locally by providing jobs and the knock-on effect that had,

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well that's bollocks. Why wouldn't pubic sector have impetus to cut costs and drive efficiencies? They do that and the money they spend goes further. Thus they can either reduce taxes and be popular or have money to spend on improving other services and be more popular. Why, for example...

    Fixing football

    Or to stop them hoarding players restrict all teams to 40 pro-contracted players, regardless of age, nationality or which academy they came through. Good youngsters at top academies but won't play for that team for a fair few years - instead of being loaned out in perpetuity for years they get...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I think as a back-up formation it might. Arguably more likely than a 5ATB. We've got players to fit that formation as it stands, Sheaf, Eccles or Torp in the centre, Saka and EMC as wingers and Wright and Simms up front. Could even argue Tavares could be a wildcard playing in a two up front...

    But we've had growth (albeit small growth) yet people are getting poorer overall. So it already shows that growth does not mean everyone gets something. Just because that growth figure goes up doesn't mean the poorer will get any of it. And if they don't it makes their situation a lot worse...

    Transfer Rumour Raphael Borges Rodriguez signs for Coventry

    Can we agree that if we play a forward three we play a centre forward and two inside forwards rather than a centre forward and two wingers?

    Possibly. Could be useful for tax purposes though. Points for and against for doing it, though the for seem to me to be more liquid which is a big incentive. Just wondered if it was actually a potential thing they could do.

    Why not treat your penis. They did most of the work after all.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    While I agree with some of that, it's far too simplistic to just say 'growth'. If you want growth then the most vital thing has to be WHERE and WHO gets that growth. Without that information then it's meaningless. Most of the country could be getting poorer while a handful of people just chuck a...

    They can't. As council run they'd be being seen as not being impartial and that's against election rules.

    Another stripey kit then. Though obviously the stripes will be all wrong.

    Flying

    I'm sure there'd be the excuse of environmental impact and paying to offset the damage, but it'd be bullshit. It's profiteering for shareholder benefit.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    And therein lies why conceding territory is pointless. Putin will just come back for more at a later date, especially as he would see Ukraine doing so as them being weak and embolden him. Anyone who thinks a ceasefire with Ukraine ceding territory will bring an end to the killing it won't. It...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    It's like they see Palestinians as sub-human and inferior. Which considering the Jews were persecuted and murdered by the nazi's who considered them untermensch is quite an incredible thing.

    He didn't have £25m just burning a hole in his pocket to buy the stadium. He possibly could've raised that amount to buy the stadium because property is seen as a decent, safe investment. Had he gone to the same funding sources saying "give me £25m to buy football players" he wouldn't get...

    Transfer Rumour Raphael Borges Rodriguez signs for Coventry

    Looking at his stats, I could see this lad eventually being turned into a wing back/full back. Got good defensive stats for a winger but not the best attacking ones. Supposedly fast, has a high workrate and can be physical.

    I've wondered on this is the value set by a tribunal? Is there anything to stop the two teams saying in the contract the player being swapped was worth £5m or so? Then if both teams have sell on clauses they both benefit.
