    Immigration and Asylum

    I think you've hit the nail on the head there. What people want is a unicorn. The reality is 0 illegal immigrants is to all intents and purposes impossible. And I'm not even sure people want to stop there. There's increasing noise around removing people already here legally let alone letting...

    Match Thread Coventry City v WBA Sat 22nd November 25 12.30 KO

    Couple of years ago when we played them there was hundreds of empty seats which their fans blamed on 'no point travelling when its on TV' so not really sure they can now proclaim a successful boycott if they don't sell out.

    Loving it so far but it does have that nagging feeling it could 'do a Lost'

    Immigration and Asylum

    Been watching reruns of Boon from 1986. Current storyline is the hotel will make more money if they take on a government contract to house immigrants. There more things change...

    Thoroughly depressing watch. Rather than look at the absolute disaster the closure of mines, shipyards has been to their local areas we've had governments seemingly try to do the same to the rest of the country via austerity. I remember a couple of years ago seeing an article where they...

    Things that annoy you

    When I lived in Portsmouth they narrowed the roads to put in cycle lanes. Cyclists then continued to use the roads and it was now impossible to overtake them.

    Coventry gigs

    I'm not really against a quick video or two of the band you're seeing. But the people who film the entire gig, or even worse, are just filming themselves. What's the point? The gig last night had a real vibe of people being there because it's become a thing in Cov rather than actually wanting...

    Coventry City struck gold with £2.1m transfer

    There were several players this summer who got the 'I'll drive him there myself' treatment who have been regulars in the match day squad, if not starting XI, this season

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Seems to be one of the requirements for being made president there or prime minister here

    Immigration and Asylum

    Ridiculous isn't it. Was the same with the hotels. Months of 'why don't they use army barracks', now they're doing that its 'why are they using army barracks'. Same with this, exactly what people have been asking for but because it's being done those same people now aren't happy with it.

    Coventry gigs

    The Enemy were great at the Empire last night. The crowd however was fucking awful. People were absolutely paralytic and seemed to be treating it as a who can drink the most competition. More concerned with getting selfies of themselves than watching the band. And worst of all beer being...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Of course with the system as it currently is if I was to do that I could end up fucked. If and when my mum needs to go into care the house will be used to pay for it. There is nothing that takes in to account anyone other than a partner remaining in the house. Its a similar situation when one...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Wasn't commenting from an affordability point of view, more from the fact there's 2 potential family homes tied up because there's a lack of alternative types of accommodation. As a country we have more and more people living alone but unless you want a luxury apartment the only other new...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I live alone but have a 2 bed terrace. The one and only reason for that is there's no other options in the area I wanted to live as I needed to be close to my aging parents. My Mum lives alone in a 3 bed place since my Dad moved in to the care home. Absolutely no reason for her to, and its...

    would it not just be on the corrections and clarification?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The weekend of the reform conference was the first time I've seen Farage on his regular TV rounds actually being challenged on policy. It was an absolute car crash. He had no answers to anything. The issue of course is both if that sort of questioning will continue and if it even cuts through to...

    Immigration and Asylum

    What worries me is there is so much focus on asylum seekers arriving by boat or those awaiting processing who have been placed in hotels that we are taking our focus off by far the largest group of offenders. I completely understand the idea of certain groups being over-represented in stats...
