So had we voted remain do you think we'd still have parliament three years on arguing over what remain meant? Or had two elections based around it? Fact is the ambiguity over leave is much much bigger than that of remain.

Still not representative of the whole is it and therefore doesn't give a true and accurate account.......

They'll nibble away around the edges making it more and more unaffordable until they can argue the entire thing needs to go. the pharma aspect is one part of that plan.

We've been terrible and the early injury to Sinclair hasn't helped. The ref seems much quicker to give penalties against England than SA. That first penalty they missed he gave almost before the player was on the floor then about 10 minutes later he didn't give one to England when SA held up the...

Depends on if the 48% is on one defined outcome and the 52% an accumulation of almost endless undefined options......

Deflection. What about the far more numerous UK casuals that aren't?

Disappointed. Would feel he was going there for the higher payday because he's got his structure here, a large amount of belief and goodwill from both the board and fans. There he would have immediate expectations, a massive clearout to get within upcoming budget restrictions and probably little...

It tells me that you've cherry picked your data to exclude those most likely to be poorly paid. What about casuals? short-term contracts? temps? or are these people not worthy of inclusion in your Victorian mindset?

Then just link that post rather than ask him to do it.....

I believe so. If you get told that average wage inflation is say 2% and you're getting 1.5% you'd feel a bit hard done by. But if you could see that the average in your wage band was 1% you'd actually done better than average. Or vice versa. Not to mention the disparity between higher and lower...

OR why don't you do it to prove him wrong. Or are you just lazy and workshy?

Oh dear.Sorry to break it to you but the Victorian era ended a long time ago. Those times of 'heroic' industrialists who gained immense wealth due to exploitation of those 'workshy, lazy' peasants who got paid a pittance and had zero job security or protection.

Are you saying that splitting info into wage bands wouldn't be instructive? Although I'm sure the original data does specify the type of average usually by the time they get to the public it is just 'average' with no explanation as to which average it is. Hence why I think showing different...

At the time I was working in public sector and got just below inflation pay rises. My mum worked in the banking sector (cashier) and got no pay rises for four straight years. Fifth year she got 1%. The CEO got way above inflation and didn't include share options etc and bonuses.

If we had better politicians and less partisan political stances they'd actually be much better. Otherwise we get massive swings all the time. Labour - increase spending due to chronic underinvestment beforehand followed by huge cuts by Tories to counter overspending. A sensible hung parliament...

The whole point of the average is to even out those who have high percentage rises and those who have none at all. Those in economics use it as it tends to paint a better overall picture than reality because often the high raises occur for those in better paid jobs whereas the lower paid get...

That was the wierdest game I've seen IMO. I thought overall we played excellently that day and absolutely battered them (as we did in the second leg - was that the Eakin Dan! Dan! game?) and to lose at all would've been galling. To lose 3-0 was just inexplicable. I left that game shell-shocked...

I get your point and yes there are circumstances whereby tax cuts can help a business that may be looking to expand (not due to profit but it improves cashflow as they don't have to have as much liquidity in reserve for the tax bill). But that expansion will be determined predominantly by market...

Bigi was our academy version of Stephen Hughes and Sideways Sammy. Looked tidy because they never took risks. Foot on the ball and then pass sideways or backwards. They all massively stifled the attacking capabilities of the team by giving the opposition the chance to reorganise and get into...

But that isn't the reason they've stated for sacking him. If that is the case all three have to be dismissed. On those grounds there is far more reason to sack the other two. Also, if he can prove that they offered him a reduced deal and then sacked him after he refused the reason given isn't...
