SA reach 100 without losing a wicket. Not the start we wanted

Think we're kind of missing the actual issue. There's a bigger question around the price of football ticket being supressed below market value and that's going to become the bigger issue. We have a mindset that football is a working class sport and therefore ticket prices should be set at a...

Wasn't there a case that went to court there recently that was to allow ICE to racially profile people and detain them on that basis? The big problem with ICE for me is both the methods they use and what happens after they've taken someone. You've got masked people, not in uniform, pulling up...

This was always the fear. Sadly it seems to be becoming reality. Was only yesterday that I was reading the IDF had only just allowed the Red Cross to enter parts of Gaza to start locating the hostages bodies. Some of the reporting makes it sound like they've been hidden someone and there's...

From my experience care homes suffer from two issues directly to related to them not being publicly run, on top of the well documented issues with poor pay and unfilled roles. The first is that astronomical fees are paid to enable an individual or company at the top to take out huge amounts of...

What time are we meeting by the Godiva statue to start celebrating?

fucks sake, didn't even have time to make the post before he was out again!

Sweepstake for what minute he goes off injured?

Not sure why we're going over this again but didn't the club have assurances from Wasps that the pitch was being relaid following the commonwealth games. That being the case why would he be bothered what state it looked in during the games?

I think this is a little one sided. At my last job one of our clients was a chain of luxury hotels. The rates per night started in the mid hundreds and went up rapidly from there. The hotels were often out in the country with no public transport. Staff were expected to live on site, in frankly...

Bingo. Saw someone post on twitter the other day something along the lines of why are care home fees so high but the workers pay so shit, then listed off loads of other examples of the same situation. Its not that the money isn't there, its where the money is ending up. Another example, we...

Not sure this is true. We don't necessarily need more money, we need the distribution of what we have changed. The last 15 years have seen money flow to the top at an unprecedented rate. Not sure you need to do much more than reverse that. Try and move back towards hard work being rewarded...

If you look on the ticketing site do those seats show there at all, even as sold? Wondering if there's just seats that aren't on the system at all or if they're on it but for some reason never on sale. Either way they really need to sort it. Never thought we'd be in a position where we had to...

All the evidence points this way but those at the top can't / won't accept it. Covid and WFH is the biggest indication of that. The number of people I know that have been told to come back to the office despite every available metric showing better results when people are working from home is...

So people want an option that doesn't exist, how do you make that work? We saw when this was applied to the care sector within weeks the care system was on the verge of collapse and the changes had to be reversed. What do you do if you need workers but the workers won't come on the terms you...

I listen to a fair bit of Canadian radio to get hockey news. Its quite funny to hear them talking about the collapse of public services and then talking about having to wait a couple of hours in the ER. If only we had their 'problems'

Its another problem we've created for ourselves that we're now struggling to get out of. If you cut the nonsense courses, and set the numbers on the courses remaining so there was a realistic chance of getting a job at the end of it, how many people are you adding to the job market. At some...

Spot on. Think it was YouGov who did a more in depth poll recently and all it ended up showing is that people have no idea what the numbers around migration actually is and gave massively contradictory answers. The majority massively over estimate the number coming in, say they want it to stop...

I would guess, assuming it wasn't in use for another event, that they're trying different things to see what works best and makes the most money.

Does our council ever manage to not fuck something up? Remember at the time there was talk that the numbers used to justify closing the sports centre and opening this place did not stack up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crl51d0rr5no
