    Measuring The Tories

    Well it is because with a Tory win setting up offshore was a complete waste of time, effort and money.

    Measuring The Tories

    Control of private shares isn't Stone Age - it's actually a sensible progression of corp tax. Companies minimise tax bills and avoid it where possible to increase dividend payouts - the public and private sector are at total odds with one another and it becomes this battle with govt passing more...

    Measuring The Tories

    Nobody wants them apart from all those countries that have a number of those policies, and often massively outperform us on many metrics outside of economy size and on the whole have a very contented population. In our capitalist society the failure of anything even slightly left-leaning is...

    Measuring The Tories

    Sometimes people can just be being nice/agreeable to get you off their doorstep. Haven't heard the Tories say "people hated our policies, they just hated Corbyn more"

    JSB Christmas Party

    There's been quite an overhaul with the parking at Warwick lately due to construction work. Last time we went to the WAC they'd knocked down the car park nearest to it.

    New Labour Leader

    Brexit will be the biggest thing - if it's unsuccessful people will look to blame the Tories saying they made a poor job of it rather than it being flawed outright. With a potential Irish border and Scot independence argument (which Alexander will inevitably offend the Scots in at some point)...

    New Labour Leader

    Look at what worked for the Tories. Ability or charisma? Alexander is massively divisive and not overly popular with the parliamentary mob of the Tories. If we look at the long road back it may well not be the next leader of Labour won't be there to win them an election but to get as close...

    I actually agree with you on this. But isn't that what the Lib Dems are?

    I agree entirely. They don't want state interference until it involves giving them money, at which point that's perfectly acceptable to create jobs etc. You're either free market or you aren't. You live by the sword, you die by it. Financial crisis I was really annoyed at the massive bailouts...

    Greta Thunberg / Climate Change Summit

    Only way that's going to happen if for other countries (like us) to take the plunge and use more environmentally friendly/sustainable energy sources etc and, most crucially, show it to be cheaper (or same cost) as traditional fossil fuels. This would increase the growth potential of the...

    Not if you've bought it from another private investor. Then they've provided absolutely fuck all into actual company coffers - value by share price after IPO is nothing other than a number on a piece of paper that affects your ability to get credit and the terms of that credit.

    General Election 2019 thread

    So you think it'd have been better if no-one had defended him? Do you think the criticism would've abated and everyone would have just turned around and said "well, that's Jeremy for you isn't it"?

    10% is not 'taking control of private companies'. It's providing a stake, a share of profits and a voice at decision making level. What can you pass with a 10% shareholding. Fuck all. You can't even stop a Special Resolution.

    Jeroboam, Magnum and Balthazar. Something to do with champagne bottles sizes anyway.

    Strikers

    I wouldn't say Godden is anywhere near 100% fit. If the strikers were scoring i don't think he'd have even risked playing him yet.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    He clearly can see it, hence why we've chopped and changed the strikers around so much. But we've had strikers that have done well before coming here and failed to impress. We've brought in strikers that've largely failed to impress and done well elsewhere after leaving. So why have we had so...

    Transfer Rumour McCallum.....

    If he was going to Arsenal would love to get Nkeitah on loan as part of the deal. Dunno if Arsenal would be happy for him to drop to L1 but he's not got game time at Leeds and he'd be very likely to get it here.

    Transfer Rumour McCallum.....

    But if he was being sold wouldn't we rest him so he didn't get injured and put the deal in jeopardy? Especially as we've got Mason to drop in.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I genuinely have no idea how this relates to my post. I said that people come on here because it''s a discussion board hence you would assume they want to discuss things. What is self-indulgent drivel about that? But then you started the thread about how bad Robins is and how he must go and...

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    I want us to predominantly carry on playing the style we are - it's good to watch on the whole (certainly for this level). However it also needs to be accepted that when we take a lead we become far more introvert, concentrating on not conceding and being solid defensively rather than focusing...
