    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seems pretty standard think for Johnson and his like to do. Considering his mate Guppy wanted to beat up a journalist and Johnson didn't seemed too bothered about stopping him a few anonymous threats of legal action should be considered quite tame, And of course he regrets marrying Carrie. The...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    But 'lockdowns don't work' has peer-reviewed, quantifiable data to disprove it. It's not the question 'do you want another lockdown?' or 'do you think another lockdown is necessary?', which are matters of opinion.

    Ex Player Watch

    Watched a game in Chicago where Ivan Guerrero was far and away the best player on the pitch. Freddy Adu (remember him FM fans?) played as was totally anonymous.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59305080 Dorries making an arse of herself again. Does she really believe that people can't see the absolutely transparent bias in her argument, as if there isn't any right-wing shit on social media. But I suppose that's just snowflakes getting...

    Migrants crossing from Europe

    Well, if you want to put them off we're going to have to make a concerted effort to convince them this country ain't all that. Plaster photos of run-down Britain all round the French ports. People queuing at food banks and kids going hungry. People begging on street corners. Photos of constant...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It is a hope rather than an expectation. Weirdly the sleaze thing plays into Johnson's hands a bit because if you convince people that the whole of politics is infested then they're more likely to just give up trying to get someone decent and capable and just go for someone who'll at least be...

    Coventry's most important/memorable games

    Probably have to include the Wolves game where we won promotion in 1967 and was our highest ever attendance. In terms of memorable, but overall not important, the 5-4 League Cup win against Nottingham Forest in 1990. 4 up in about half an hour including a Kevin Gallagher hat-trick. Forest got...

    New Job Doubts

    While I understand FP's point, I'm someone who has over the years learned to trust my instincts. They're not foolproof but they're there for a reason. I've had things where I've thought 'I don't think I'm going to fit in here' but gone ahead with it anyway and ended up hating it. I get the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sunak maybe would be tougher for Starmer, but I think he would have the slight upper hand as he'd be going up against someone more like him rather than fighting the personality. He's used to that in court and I think he'd feel more comfortable with it. And does stuff like that really matter in...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    He's reasonably popular because he's not everywhere and still largely an unknown despite being Chancellor. Make him Leader and have him front and centre and I think it'd evaporate over the following year or two. Nick Clegg was popular for a while... As you say the thing people don't like is his...

    Well, if he'd had a penalty he would have finished 3rd, not 2nd which could be significant in the title races. Also, if the criteria is causing an accident what about when drivers change direction when defending or just something as simple as speeding in the pitlane. If there isn't an accident...

    Yorkshire Cricket racism scandal

    I think you've maybe gone all in in defence of the country there. The country isn't the worst in the world by a long stretch but it's by no means the best, either by 'soft' measures or metrics that are listed and ranked. Compared to many countries we are largely tolerant and stuff like racism...

    All purpose cricket thread

    There are now the claims from Essex and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if similar stories weren't coming out of a lot of counties. It's a game synonomous with being run by old middle-class white men. It has probably been ignored because as far as those running the game are concerned all of it...

    When it first started I think the cost was est. £30bn. On a different site I said it'd be more like £80bn, be at least a decade late and eventually only the London-Birmingham leg would be done because the project was all about improving link to London and they wanted to use BHX as a further...

    Which is why these moments of doubt are only fleeting. But they're there, and I think it's healthy to have that little bit of doubt about things. If you don't you're probably not going to last long. It's about making sure those doubts don't get out of control.
