    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Wasted Seats

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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'

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    After Match ‘Entertainment’

    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.

    Cov city centre

    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

    FUTURE ENGLISH STADIUMS

    Bargain or done on the cheap? Although if they literally only have to pay for the stadium build because all the infrastructure is being paid for by others that makes things a lot easier.

    How is Aled Williams employed?

    Something must have happened but I doubt we'll ever know what. He went from looking decent to looking like he'd never played football before and was scared of the ball. In all honesty I thought his career would be over the way he was playing so it's great to see he's turned it around and is...

    Family zone ticket exchange

    Think the problem with the rest of the ground is they don't want to open up the ticket exchange prior to a sell out and you end up with a situation like yesterday where it was the morning of the game when it sold out so there's no time to activate it. Could they maybe allow you to mark your...

    Immigration and Asylum

    We have it already, our version is the Immigration Compliance and Enforcement team. But unlike the US ICE the aren't allowed to grab people off the street with little more than the colour of their skin as the reason. The number of raids they do has been massively increased, up 50%, and in line...

    Family zone ticket exchange

    Not sure what the answer is but feels like the family zone needs an adjustment. It's now the only part of the ground with a noticeable amount of empty seats when games are regularly sold out. Its not a huge number but its noticeable when there's not a seat to be had in the rest of the ground...

    Immigration and Asylum

    It was an admin error. He was supposed to be getting deported and somebody fucked up the paperwork. Apparently there is a new process being put in place from tomorrow to stop this happening but as with so many things you look at the number of times this has happened and wonder why nothing was...

    Immigration and Asylum

    yeah its all app run. you just sign up, give you id and off you go. problem is once you're signed up the companies don't give much of a shit about checking if the right person is using the app. the ID verification on the app used to only happen once every 14 days. I believe the government...
