But this is still technically market interference from the state so a die-hard Free Marketer should be against state aid of any description to private businesses to the same extent they oppose state regulation. If the govt agreed to pay each company £x per worker in exchange for paying NLW this...

Good points. I guess part of it is that "what might have been" had he not gone into TV. Similar with the stories of Clough agreeing to join us but we weren't willing to wait for him to become available.

I was saying that according to capitalist dogma businesses that can't afford to pay living wages and make a profit should close because they aren't viable. That was my point with the analogy - it was based on how a fully paid up capitalist should react, not me personally. FYI I'm not a fan at...

Is it your dick? You seem to get a hard-on disagreeing with people ;)

Cause we've got Brandon Mason The best left back in League One And we're going up We're going up

Although as I've said before I'm in favour of a 2nd ref with clearly defined outcomes I think the idea by Corbyn/Labour could be a little disingenuous. In the detail it says a 'Labour-negotiated Brexit deal'. 1. I thought one of the big arguments was about how the government was sidelining...

No, I'm not necessarily against subsidising private industry as a blanket rule - in some cases it does prevent a big shock to local or national economies that would have knock-on effects down the line. I'm more for subsidising infrastructure and services that are beneficial to society as a whole...

Luckily you got off lightly after bribing the judge with a reach-around.

Worst performance of the season so far.

Not instantly but I think his stock would rise over time to be mentioned along with, but not alongside, Hill. If for no other reason than the complete change Hill made to the club and its operations all round, not just on the pitch (even though that was impressive) Hill was also very well...

WIth the Marosi thing, if that'd been Burge would people be having the 'Walsh was at fault' argument or just pinning the entire thing on the keeper because it's Burge. You have to accept it is inevitable that playing that way it will at some point cost you the odd goal when it goes wrong, but if...

I agree - if you're making nothing from it what's the incentive to try and sell tickets. Unless the opposition could sell the ground out to home fans they potentially benefit from F&B sales etc so arguably the away team should keep the ticket price and only pay an admin fee for the tickets they...

Never really want to lose momentum on a winning streak, but long term it could be beneficial to give them the rest physically and mentally. Picked up quite a few injuries that will likely be out for a while, so don't want the remaining ones suffering annoying little tears and stuff. On the...

Of course governments tax or control certain things to influence demand and/or prevent harm to the people from them. That is the supposed job of government - to protect the people. Governments do also 'subsidise by stealth' (or more openly in other economies like China) with grants, reduced...

But you do work in a clothing sweatshop.......

I kind of agree and feel the issue is more of a mental than physical one and the money should go into providing mental health care to discover and help treat those than going for the surgery option which feels like the 'lazy' option on the part of the healthcare providers. I feel the same about...

To be fair he didn't say that the wages were slave wages, he said "any job is viable at slave wages", It was a theoretical argument taken to its conclusion that if the business cannot produce at a viable cost but you wish to protect the jobs you reduce the wages until such point as it becomes...

I was going to give you a like but didn't want to annoy so.

If MR did bring O'Hare in from the start I wouldn't be complaining as he's clearly a talented lad. I just won't be complaining if he doesn't either. I think at some point he will inevitably be in the starting line-up but it's not imperative right now. Kastaneer can create havoc but possibly for...

I do wish him the best, but there is that slight concern of are there players in younger age groups showing promise who he could look to take before we can sign them up as scholars or pros? Being a Cat1 academy WBA may well already have players of an overall higher standard than we're developing...
