    Wembley? Spurs used it as their home ground didn't they? If not somewhere in the US like the Rose Bowl?

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    And it was wrong. We should have learnt by now. And it's Native Americans, not American Indians. They're not Indians.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree. A lot of our economic measures are at best of limited use, in some cases completely misleading. One of the first things I'd put in my manifesto is that I would be introducing what is effectively a 'report card' for various things including but not limited to health (physical and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We've been that for a little while now with DC pensions etc, but the trouble with that is it will have an horrific lag - decades probably. And even then a lot of the problem is noone having the nerve to do it, or suggest it, due to the political fallback.

    To be honest the triple lock is one thing we could get rid of. As long as it increases with inflation then that's acceptable.

    Far more likely to be waiting to see how many points to deduct to not fuck them over. Giving them a points deduction making it look like they're punishing them, but making sure it doesn't impact their season and get them mired in a legal battle.

    The point re civil war was mainly about Reform potentially getting in and making those cuts (while they will undoubtedly massively slash taxes, especially for the rich) and at that point civil war becomes a more frightening prospect. My main point was that we have had Starmer and many Tories...

    Well Corbyn was ousted for far less than what you've written.

    Certainly no blame can be attributed to the father. He did nothing illegal and his son was a grown man who should be responsible for himself. What I will say though is that if you bring a child up in a household where guns are considered acceptable, even necessary, that child is far more likely...

    "Real austerity" would put the economy in massive trouble. For a start that many people losing jobs means you've now got those people on benefits while not getting ta from their wages. Those people will also not have money to spend and so private businesses will contract, cutting further jobs...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    So I assume you therefore think Corbyn was very harshly treated by Labour in the anti-semitism row then? I also think you should up the IHRA definition of anti-semitism. I think you'll find at least some of what you've written qualifies. And don't forget to ask Netanyahu who pretty much says...

    Charlie Kirk Shot

    I've been thinking this myself, but how long has farage shown he's nothing but a grifter and yet still gained popularity. Same with Trump in the US - should be obvious to everyone what he is yet he still got in. Then after that first term and what happened he still managed to get elected again...

    TBF most were saying "let's wait and see what their motives are." And I hope you'll be as quick to point out the error of people's assumptions next time a terrorist attack immediately blamed on Islamic terrorists turns out not to be.

    Timewasting

    I think I'd start with making an outfield player have to go off in their stead and seeing what difference that made. If GK's then still continued to get 'injured' then I'd think about making the GK have to go off. Of course the issue with this is that it could be argued there is an incentive...

    Timewasting

    I don't think it would unless you stop the clock, because if a player had to go off for ten minutes is you'd just have the other team wasting as much time as possible until those ten minutes were up. It could potentially increase timewasting.

    Timewasting

    The thing I've never liked about players getting suspensions for subsequent games is that it can actually work against the team the offence was against. Let's say we're in the 96th of a game and someone does an awful tackle on our player to stop them getting through on goal and the opposition...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    It's maybe not well worded but I think it's saying a country whose population would have almost certainly seen at least one family member murdered in the worst genocide the world has ever seen now doing the things it's doing in Gaza doesn't paint the human race in a good light.

    Busst To Write To Eduardo

    I can't get it to work anyway. Tried typing in the date of my first post (in both older than and newer than in case I was misunderstanding) but all I ever get it my most recent posts.
