    Gardening

    Tends to be a short-term solution. Spreads the spores around and ultimately creates a bigger problem. Needs a proper solution to get rid of it, but need to be careful of overspray onto plants/lawns.

    George Floyd

    As I said the black community should be the biggest voice in that decision but they shouldn't be the sole one, or it's open to abuse. The argument being put forward is that if someone takes it as racist then it is racist. So that has to work both ways. If a black person see's a white blond kid...

    George Floyd

    I'm not saying ignore it. I'm saying make the most of the more clear cut examples first. I'm not going to talk to the doctor about a cut on my finger if my legs been chopped off. Of course I shouldn't ignore it in case of infection, but I'd say it might be better to focus on the leg first.

    George Floyd

    But the artibtrator would be applying the rules as set out by one of the groups, thus making it open to abuse. In smmeee's example it'd be like the teacher applying the rules, but the rules were "whatever that one kid says is true". It'd be a facade of fairness and arbitration when in reality...

    George Floyd

    The point is of self-policing. We decide what is and isn't racist and if you don't like it you're a racist. On other political threads it's been mentioned about deregulation of the finance industry and allowing them to self-regulate. I'm not in favour of that because it opens the system to...

    George Floyd

    What are you talking about. Are you saying him telling people he'd suffered abuse such as monkey noises, bananas etc wouldn't be more effective than talking about a comparison with a buffalo? Would there be a debate on here about whether those things were racist or not? Of course not - it'd be...

    George Floyd

    Aren't we then getting towards the problems with anti-semitism and the IHRA definition? They've suffered it so they get to decide what is and isn't anti-semitic and they've seemingly decided any criticism of Israel, its officials or its policy is anti-semitic? It's a dangerous path to lead and...

    George Floyd

    Not really what I'm saying. I'm saying he will undoubtedly have had worse insults thrown at him. I sadly suspect they'd include things like monkey noises, bananas and even things like the n word. Surely if he wants to highlight the racism problem he's got much more effective and clearcut...

    Transfer Rumour Owen Otasowie

    As an option for DCM with the added bonus of another back-up CB he wouldn't be a bad shout by the looks of it.

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    Couldn't we have a mix? A smaller 'bowl' at the bottom then more four-sided higher up. Corners filled in with corporate/media/offices etc.

    Transfer Rumour Fabio Kaufmann

    It's the influence of SAF on MR - he wants the option of the Herr Drier treatment at HT.

    Transfer Rumour Fabio Kaufmann

    But don't we have Jones? and Jobello? and Hilssner? How many wing options do you need to change it up as a back-up?

    New Sponsor. Place your bets

    I think the betting company is most likely, but would love to see someone like WMG on there. Out of their price range I'd imagine.

    New Kit

    Some nice kits there, and I love the yellow/purple one.

    Woodlands

    Yes it is. You have to walk down past Homebase, across the A45 by the fire station and then continue on past Cannon Park and the uni. It is walkable, probably about 2 miles, so not for everyone EDIT: just saw your response.

    What are you on about? Of course it's legit - his name's Jordan FFS

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Surely that can't be true. You do wonder how people like that even qualify? If they've got the brains to pass the exams surely they're sensible enough to not believe nonsense. And if you're the licencing authority even the mention of such a batshit crazy theory, unless they've got at least some...

    George Floyd

    Isn't that what a lot of counselling does, just with a sugar coating? People who've been abused in some way but kept it hidden due to feeling shame or fearing reprisals are told "you shouldn't do that - you need to accept it happened and talk about it. It's not your fault". When the adverts...

    George Floyd

    I see you're point - if you're used to encountering a certain problem issue so often you can sometimes look for it or see it even when it's not there. But at the same time why would you comment on a very minor/mild perceived slur whose racial overtones can be questioned instead of incidents...

    Charlton Athletic.

    The point was if you're making the case about which is more important based around economics you have to base it on the number of jobs, rates etc the supermarket provides against those the football club do. I couldn't say for sure which would be the biggest as both provide jobs both themselves...
