    Formula 1 2020

    Over current years we have got used to a lot more races than there used to be as it expands in search of more money so fewer races shouldn't be a huge issue. I'd actually prefer fewer single races than more than one on a single track BUT with the virus it would be far more prudent to visit as...

    I know it's a Sunday etc but to see deaths in double figures does feel like a small bright point. Although the thought of seeing less than a hundred people die in a day as a bright point is itself a bit depressing. It's still a lot of grief stricken family and friends who's lives have changed...

    He's still hard-right economically and follows the mantra of economy before everything. He'll be cuts/austerity to balance the books when this is over I guarantee it. He'd be more on the ball than Johnson, but he'd in no way be progressive.

    It may be 'excellent' for them but it's poor for the country and society as a whole. That people could fuck up so much and still garner enough support just because they're on the same side as them is a terrible indictment of where we stand. And I've no doubt it would be the same the other way...

    In America it could well have an effect - the place is ALL about $$$. Affect a companies balance sheet and they'll want change and lobby for it just as much as anyone and the bigger the company the more weight and influence they have as they provide more jobs etc. So boycott of any large...

    Chasing up small amounts of benefit fraud etc each taking time and resources which would easily be covered by just one offshore trust or tax avoiding corporation.

    Nope. But the fact is the social distancing has been flouted way more since that came to light and the incomprehensible easing of restrictions that followed, which I believe was rushed through in part due to that story as it flies in the face of their own tests. Some used it as an excuse...

    But much of what is and isn't acceptable is filtered down from those who are supposed to be leaders and setting the rules and examples. So if those who are in charge disregard the rules so do some of those further down. Sadly, a lot of people are sheep looking to be led.

    Of course they will be to blame as they should be more aware of the situation. However, the situation that has put them there isn't their fault - it's the fault of society at large and especially those in positions of power who have for generations ignored doing anything about the problem and in...

    We get it - you're pissed off you can't go to the pub or the football.

    Because it loses it's impetus. Like with school shootings the NRA are always 'now is not the time - it needs time for reflection" then if that happens it becomes "it happened ages ago so why protest now".

    It shouldn't be. They're endangering their own lives and the lives of lots of other people especailly the elderly and vulnerable when they disperse and go back to their local communities. But as you say it's a fine balancing act. If you try and ban the protests on health grounds you get the...

    George Floyd

    It's well known that innocent people (esp black and uneducated) are often given legal advice to accept a plea deal and a reduced sentence because: a. They're often too poor to afford independent legal advice and so end up with a state appointed defence lawyer who are pushed by DA's to put that...

    In which case ask yourself why do they proportionally commit more crimes. Here's a clue. poor people are more likely to commit crimes than affluent people. Black people have a much harder time attaining said wealth due to it being harder for them to be accepted into good education and higher...

    Line up for championship next season

    I think with the settled squad it's imperative to get them in as early as possible so they can get used to each other and how they play before the league starts. Having a settled team has been a bonus for long periods as well. Thing that is probably most important is winning though. Everyone...

    Line up for championship next season

    If I were MR I'd be looking at attacking full-backs/wing backs rather than wingers because they offer more flexibility. If you keep our current formation they obviously fit in but if we wanted to go more like 4-4-2 if you've got a back up WB then one can play at full back, the other winger...

    On a tangent but it does seem weird that police horses are still a thing, esp in riot situations as they're one of the most nervous and skittish animals on the planet.
