I do agree on maybe bringing in the stick a bit more. You get maybe one opportunity to get the carrot (obviously depending on the severity of the offence) but if you abuse that it's the stick approach. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

I'd be interested to know what you thought of the three candidates. As I say above I'm planning on going with policy rather than personality but as they'd be a local representative it would be nice to get a take on how approachable they are and how much they seem to care about constituency...

CovNW so unlikely to matter anyway. Reckon it might be a slightly reduced Lab majority with Robinson's retirement but still safe.

Did my analysis of four of the mainfestos - Con, Lab, LD and Green. Initial reactions just from reading them were: Green, LD, Lab, Con After going through the points scoring it went LD, Lab, Green, Con Looking into why I had indeed agreed strongly with more Green policies that any other...

Fair enough. I guess we shall have to wait and see. As for how to fit O'Hare, Allen and Westbrooke in if we play two up top - we don't. At least one would miss out. Although I think he's a very exciting player O'Hare seemed to have the most impact for us off the bench whereas I feel the other...

It was one of my major problems with the LD (I also not a fan of Swinson at all but I'm determined to work by policy not personality) However, after thinking about it I reckoned "if the LD can get enough support to return a majority government then I would say that is more than adequate to...

So much for public servants eh? "We dictate the terms by which you're allowed to film and interview us"

TBH that's how their manifesto came across to me. Everything's fine (apart from Brexit) so let's just carry on pretty much as we are.

Had this been Corbyn you'd be putting up your little JFC meme and you know you would.

I think Allen's game will be more akin to Shipley's than Westbrooke - very busy around midfield while looking to get forward to have a go at goal - so he's probably the one most at risk. Nice to have the three pushing each other and available to step in if one of them gets injured/suspended.

*Caniphobic ;) Well technically it's anti-caninism - having a cat cafe doesn't mean they have an irrational fear of dogs. But I guess someone could open a dog cafe if they wanted.

Yeah. Although any player coming on should be ready and warmed up what if the temp sub goes down with a muscle injury while the original player is off? Can we then take the temp sub off for another temp sub even though he's not possibly got concussion? If it happens towards the end of a game can...

This is one of the few times I've agreed with you.

Model designed to put economic growth above everything has higher economic growth than other societal models sensation! But can you explain why having massive continual economic growth is so absolutely vital above all else? Why should it take precendence of physical and mental health? Why...

Depends on the individual I suppose and if their career is of more importance to them than their religion. As for Alexander I think it's more to do with his surroundings and upbringing rather than an actual dislike or hatred of people due to the colour of their skin. He considers it to be...

The point I was making was that we keep being told "we know what we voted for" but how can that be possible if one of the things that was put forward as part of our withdrawal only came into existence after the vote? How can you know you're voting for something that doesn't exist? That'd be like...

Stokes has the personality and respect to control the dressing room but as with all captains you never know how it'd affect his form. He's becoming more of a back-up bowler IMO anyway because although he can have devastating spells he can be pretty expensive. I know many don't feel that bowlers...

To an extent. We still need cashflow topping up each year via loans but it's definitely a better system than those they did before. First bought a few young players to develop but then sold them all on when we didn't go up for short-term profit - had a very negative impact. Then they just...

I agree he hasn't got the options he has had in the past which is part of why he's not looking great. Some great QB's have looked poor due to having no protection from the O-line. But that's why I think he's missing Gronk - even when he didn't have many options before he was a solid backup that...

It's still there on the BBC, but they're switching it off soon. Still page 316.... If I'm at home listening to it I put CWR on the TV and then have the text scores on at the same time
