    Wright

    FFS, we could be looking at a decent chunk of the season without Wright or Dovin. Will need to make two signings, and likely spend a fair chunk of the budget, just to cover injuries.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not convinced a Gove & Cummings orchestrated redemption arc for themselves is adding much benefit. After all they were both in government for many years when recommendations from previous inquiries were ignored. Is there much here in terms of new information? We know all about Rotherham Council...

    The problem here is that we're now so fucked there's not a short term fix. If the government came out tomorrow and said we've put the funding in place for the required number of police, teachers, doctors etc to be trained you've still got to both find people who want to go through that training...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When people thrown stuff like this out I'm always intrigued as to how the people they know doing this are getting so much money. There was a point when I thought I might lose my job post-covid. I looked into how much I would receive in benefits and it was basically fuck all, nowhere near enough...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Students can get a 2 year post student work visa fairly easily but the years spent as a student don't count towards the 5 years needed for indefinite leave to remain. Technically if you been in the country for 10 years continuously, even on multiple study visas, without spending more than about...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Non EU makes up over 80% and there's a breakdown on the ONS site, I'm curious how we can look to get the levels down without shooting ourselves in the foot? The university sector is already warning multiple universities are on the verge of bankruptcy due to lower overseas student numbers...

    season ticket sales

    If you look on the ticketing site you can see what's left and get some idea of how likely he is to get what he wants https://www.eticketing.co.uk/ccfc/EDP/Season/Index/1038

    Premier League thread

    this needs to be asked by interviewers every time a manager complaining about fixture congestion. rest also seemingly less important if Sky decide they want to move games

    Premier League thread

    How come there’s no Boxing Day or New Years Day games? Seems a bit odd given Sky were pushing for Christmas Day games last season.

    This already exists to an extent. I’ve worked with people in the past who have wanted to move jobs but can’t even move to the same job with another company under their visa terms. If they had been sacked or made redundant that would be the immediate end of their visa. The idea that you can...

    What I’ve described is absolutely part of their immigration policy. We’ve got people talking about integration, you can’t dismiss policy areas because they aren’t in line with your desires. If you want a Danish system fine, but if you want to cherry picks part of a system to suit then it’s...

    season ticket sales

    Going to be interesting. You could make a pretty compelling argument for a big increase given the number of season tickets sold and games being sold out last season. Let’s hope they don’t go crazy.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not cherry picking at all. You’re the one doing that. Your post confirms exactly the point I was making. That when people talk about wanting to copy the danish immigration system what they really mean is pick the parts of it that align with their preferences and ditch the parts that don’t.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My suspicion is that when people talk about a danish system what they actually mean is cherry picking the bit they agree with. I struggle to believe that if we mirrored their system and worked to ensure migrant families weren’t clustered together in certain areas people would be nodding in...

    24 Hours in Police Custody

    The kabbadi thing was mental as well. They never really explained why it all kicked off and it was way beyond someone having an argument and a bit of a punch up. The second story was so sad. Why the fuck did they have the old fella locked up for months, not like he was going to go on a crime...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    As bad as the actual arrests themselves are I find the way they conduct them deeply concerning. People who are not in uniform, often with face coverings or even balaclavas, turn up to public places, grab people, won’t tell friends, family or legal professionals where they are being taken or...
