    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I assume you mean employers, but I didn't say it would be a choice. A similar argument was used when compulsory inclusion to pension schemes was introduced. And with that the employers gets nothing in return. Paying for healthcare you get a healthier, more productive workforce.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I get there are potential problems, as employers would be less inclined to employ/retain an employee with chronic/severe health issues. But if we want to get the burden down then who else pays it. There would also be benefits to employers, as it should reduce sick days and potentially improve...

    Debunking the myth - ‘Doug isn’t getting the commercial things right’

    Re: point 1. It depends on what it is they're doing. Some of the stuff that has happened, especially regarding kids and JSB's, pretty much everyone knew immediately they were stupid and counter-productive things to do. That DK/commercial team didn't realise this indicates they don't understand...

    Southport Stabbing

    It' not about policing thoughts. Hearing about an attack and thinking 'that could be x, or it could be y, is a natural response. However when you then go out and say/post x or y did the attack when actually nothing is yet known it stops being a thought. And when it is proved that x or y did...

    Southport Stabbing

    Not how it works. It you want to claim a certain person or type of person committed a crime, then the burden of proof lies with you. You say this person said such and such, it's up to you to provide the proof they did. "Can't be arsed" to "waste time digging around" is not valid. Either prove...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm increasingly thinking having employers have to provide healthcare for their employees would be something to seriously look at.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Oxford Utd - Match Thread - Friday 16th Aug 8pm KO

    Hope we come out and take the game to them rather than the usual first half sitting back passing it between the defence and giving them some easier chances when we inevitably give it away. Sets the mood of the game and can be difficult to get out of. Dovin MvE Thomas Binks Bidwell Eccles Rudoni...

    Only something I'd be trying later on in a game to make a breakthrough, as we did last night. Wouldn't be starting with it regularly.

    Which is fine if that was the only option, but often he either turns down or doesn't see a much easier progressive pass in order to keep the ball and, at times, seems to be waiting to deliberately try that Hollywood ball that has a cat in hell's chance of coming off, almost because it will look...

    Bristol City Player Ratings

    Surprised that while recovering from his achilles injury his training programme didn't include a lot of creatine and weights. If he wants to compete physically at a professional level he can't carry on being 8 stone dripping wet. Not saying he needs to become like the Hulk but he needs to be...

    I think Simms and BTA could be an interesting front two when needs must.

    Why should he be deported to the place of his parents birth? Should any other country be allowed to send their criminals here because their parent or grandparent was born in the U.K.?

    It's a win and gets us up and running but we need to play a lot more cohesively than that.

    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    Early on, but from the few games he's played so far, Dovin looks good with the ball at his feet, but he doesn't seem to command his area and I think sometimes he tries to punch/push shots away he should be holding onto.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    We've not filled the No.6 shirt, so it certainly seems the club are actively looking to bring in a first choice CM.
