Suffragettes. Deliberately targeted MP's and did stuff that inconvenienced them like sending things through the post (including themselves). Was alied to more general protest as well and arguably neither are the reason they got their way in the end (more likely WWI and woman being used for...

But they weren't anywhere near the level they're at now even when they were 'big' teams.

Which car park will this be in? Might not be able to make it before 4:30 though.

I agree that there are plenty more that probably aren't compliant and are currently getting away with it. I would just hope that if/when they're discovered they would be treated harshly for 1. breaking the rules and 2.trying to cover it up. Even if it were us. If you want people to stop doing...

Who then fell away again to relative obscurity. They only returned to prominence once they got the big bucks backing them and even so they're been far more successful under their ownership than they ever have been in their history, even when they were big clubs in the past.

I agree this issue is a pressing one and something needs to be done. I also accept that targeting specific individuals with power is problematic but maintain it would be more effective that doing things that affect normal everyday people (which often has the opposite effect of just pissing...

Fair enough but the overall thing to take from it is: Derby tried to pull the wool over people's eyes and are now being given more time. Other clubs managed to do it by the deadline and haven't been asked to resubmit. So why should Derby be allowed leeway? Rules are that you submit accurate...

I just think that they're inconveniencing the wrong people. If you want to get governments/businesses to make changes then directly disrupt them. If it doesn't directly affect them they don't care. Do you think Johnson gives a fuck if people are being stopped from getting on the tube or...

So there's no problems with the club going bankrupt on the whim of some uber-rich person getting bored with their plaything? Except for all the people who work for it that will lose their jobs. The suppliers who will lose contracts and all the people that work for them. The community that will...

Right. I think maybe I was thinking of those who don't use a dishwasher.

I think you're conflating her individually with the organisation. XR protests aren't about people not rinsing plates. TBH I've found a lot of the XR protests quite perplexing. The stopping trains running really seems like a daft thing to do as it stopped loads of people using it who ended up in...

Us and a few other clubs were in embargo for not filing accounts on time despite govt legislation allowing for it. No extension was given despite the club not having to legally submit them. So why were Derby given an extension? After all their's was only to resubmit parts of the accounts, not...

Why would you use this for any Cat C game? £20 on the day or £24 as part of the package. Cheaper to buy a matchday ticket and use the match package all on A and B fixtures. If you went to 5 Cat B games and 1 Cat C at matchday prices that'd cost £145, so you'd save £1. 4 Cat B and 2 Cat C you're...

I thought the argument these days was to not pre-rinse because you waste loads more water?

Wasn't mine. Defence has been my main worry over pre-season, esp LWB and LCB, plus uncertainy over the standard of backup for RWB.

Celeb meltdowns are something I pay much particular attention to. He (she now?) did have a point about the stuff being said by people about Britney almost certainly made her mental state even worse but she was probably going to end up losing the plot at some point anyway. Recent stuff...

Are you Jeremy Corbyn? ;)

I'm not defending her. As I pointed out there there could be circumstances that would make the decision to buy the diesel in the first place and to still be running it now appear to be the more environmentally friendly choices given the information at the time. It may well be that those...

I'm not saying she hasn't done stuff that looks to be stupid given what she's campaigning for. It's just not the 'gotcha' moment some people thing it is. Johnson was because there are alternative to flights to Cornwall and he was going there to talk about climate change. It'd be like turning up...

She's not specifically telling people not to drive diesels though is she? She's campaigning to make governments and businesses do more to help the situation, which are a much bigger issue overall. So it's more like her being in McD's eating fries.
