    A signing! (Brooke Norton-Cuffy)

    Name sounds like he should be a character in Downton.

    So instead we should kick out or refuse entry to those that are contributing positively? You do realise that if we did that and the population didn't grow via immigration, the problem would still get worse as the amount of money provided per head would go down and the standard of the NHS would...

    By getting the government to put that money that the immigrants put in towards the NHS so it can support the growing population. You're fighting the wrong battle.

    It's far more than politicians 'don't help' - they are actively the problem. The infrastructure can't keep up, but immigrants are net contributors meaning that they are putting in funding to increase and improve that infrastructure. How much do you think could've been done with the money that...

    So by your own admission the fault is not with the immigrants. It's with the politicians.

    But bringing in more money than they take out = more money for NHS. So they could use that to increase capacity to cover the increase in population. The fact that that money isn't being spent on the NHS (or being used poorly to enrich certain people) is a political one.

    Even if we can't fill the bench with players he'd be happy to play, I'd still fill it with U23 or even academy players just to give them that experience. Frankly if you're over 21 and the manager isn't even willing to put you on the bench against a non-league team because he thinks you're not...

    Prince Harry

    Worth remembering that the Queen wasn't born to be Queen. She wasn't even a spare. Her dad wasn't meant to be king but his brother abdicating pushed them up the succession. It'd be like Beatrice or Zara suddenly being first in line to the throne. I do sometimes wonder if that sort of situation...

    Prince Harry

    I think that Meghan (and by extension harry) have been treated awfully by parts of the media, and no doubt the upper class that she became a part of did everything they could to make her feel unwelcome. They did it to Kate to a certain extent just because she was upper middle class! But at the...

    Because the people best placed to alter public perception are in the group that are getting the money.

    It's incredible that they have the bare faced cheek to talk about others having meaningless slogans when the Tories are the absolute masters of it. Think it's very odd for Starmer to rehash an old one, especially one linked to Brexit. I'm guessing some 'advisors' have suggested that it'd be...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I've said for a long time that we need to both broaden the metrics by which we measure success from being pretty much solely economic and broaden the economic metrics we do use. Growth rate is largely meaningless as it tells virtually none of the story. A few people getting ridiculously richer...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agreed. People all have different areas of skills and interests, yet we seem determined to tell kids that these few things are worthwhile but everything else is just a waste of time and they're not trying at the 'hard' subjects. I did well at school, but if the 'core' subjects had been stuff...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We all know the reason why. Lots of wealthy and influential people heavily invested in fossil fuels and they don't want to lose out, so they exert pressure on the politicians. In some cases they're the same people.

    Feeling a bit nervous about this. They'll be up for it and are a good team for that level. There support will probably be noisy than our own sparse following. Think we'll play a pretty strong team to try and get he team clicking and the confidence back, but also due to lack of other options...

    Gyokeres

    Gyok is without doubt a very difficult forward to defend against, especially one on one, but it's pretty easy to predict what he'll do - drift over to the left hand side and try and take the defender on and shoot. Against BC, near the end the ball was spread out to Bidwell and there was space...
