Point is why pick something that is more onerous on those less well-off - the same people who have suffered the most through loss of earnings etc during the pandemic? The rich have been raking it in, but they get off quite nicely from this. Out of all the solutions this was one of the worst in...

That about sums it up. As soon as Johnson started talking about how he'd broken a manifesto pledge but no-one could foresee a pandemic I thought "The social care crisis didn't suddenly appear because of the pandemic. It's been there for more than a decade." Yet there'll still be plenty who'll...

Who do we reckon then? Alabi is probably one (no idea why he's still only on trial) Just going on the fact the academy have been playing a trialist recently called Justin Obikwu maybe he's the other one. No idea how old he is. Apparently used to be at Derby.

Have I missed the point of the thread?

I agree entirely about the having to buy from specific suppliers. Another way private enterprise and a profit motive has worked its way into public services. Although it was all on one site my primary was 'split' into infants (R,1,2,3) then juniors (4,5,6) but I think yours probably makes more...

Cos we started the box formation

Yeah, at school it was pretty clear who were the haves and have nots. Thing is with your own clothes if you wear something decent someone may well try and nick it. When I was at school a kid came into school once with a brand new pair of Air Jordan's cos he wanted to show off. Someone jumped...

Maybe. But I still reckon they'd give themselves as much leeway and wriggle room as possible. You'd just set every target over the course of the parliament to render the entire thing null and void. One thing that I think would be useful is that after parliament has been dissolved for the GE...

I thought quite a few schools didn't have uniforms now? The argument is that it makes everyone equal. What you're wearing becomes another potential bullying tool. Kids being made fun of because they don't have the £100 trainers or the right brands. Puts even more pressure on parents to get that...

Manifesto's would change to be even more vague and carefully worded so as to not fall foul of it. Things like 'we do not intend to raise taxes' 'we will not raise taxes immediately' 'pensions will have increased by the end of the parliament'

How would you implement it? The rich put that wealth in lots of different places and would argue that a lot of it isn't liquid so taxes on it would cause them cashflow issues (whether true or not). We've got a diverse range of taxes to try and tax wealth via various sources (Income, sales...

Avg GD per game: Eng-San: 5.85 Ger- San 8.5 Diff: 2.65 Eng-Lie: 2 Ger-Lie: 5.2 Diff: 3.2 So on average win each game by about 3 goals more than we do.

Could be quite misleading. Says Derby owed money for transfers. Doesn't specifically say that that money is overdue. Hence why those clubs may not be on a 'bad boy' list.

Surely the big problem with this type of extremism is Pride and Prejudice. I think it's the lack of Sense and Sensibility that needs addressing.

Wonder if the club might do an introduction to the new academy intake on the website over the weekend as first team aren't playing.

It's more about his positioning than anything. Defence is only as good as it's weakest link and if you've got one player not keeping to the same message as everyone else it's a big problem. I'm sure everyone wants him to sort it out and be a success here but you'd have thought that having...

Given his positional sense I was more worried that when they told him to try and score from a corner he'd be stood on the penalty spot.

Derby tried to get away from 'meaningful competition' by overspending and covering it up with misleading accounts to give themselves an advantage over others. There's still 23 other teams in the division so I'd say that's sufficient for a meaningful competition. If we were in Derby's shoes we'd...

To make sure he's there in time they told him the game kicked off at 3pm. Yesterday.

I take it all back. The struggles you must go through. Don't know how you survive.
