You’ve got to remember, I come from a private sector background where if I wasn’t getting rewarded I’d change careers or go to a different firm. I appreciate its different in public sector and the last thing the country needs is a load of nurses and teachers leaving the profession, especially...

That’s why Macrons had to do something

Probably not quite as important either 😊. I’ve got views around salaries etc but don’t know enough about set up in public sector pay levels etc so some of these might already happen… Increased rewards for higher performance (what’s the pay differential between a great teacher and a shit one...

We live a lot longer as well. Theres a massive pension/aging population timebomb that nobody wants to discuss. It’s also a massive problem with public sector pensions

Yeah, I was suggesting teaching does face challenges and was differentiating it from rail and postal

Theres not doubt the government wouldn’t want to be seen backing down straight away but as the article says the unwillingness to modernise was also another main issue. You could argue ulterior motives from the other side as well. Out of the strikes Lynch showed his hand when he rejected the...

So would you if all you ever wanted was to play for your hometown club and yet the fans were still bitching that you might cost 250k 😊

Agreed. The blokes 40 FFS.

Totally different level to fame and wealth now though and both have a massive platform which they would’nt have without royal titles/connection. For what it’s worth I do think they are very much in love, however long it lasts, who knows. Both deluded AF though. Too many yes men and women around...

We’ve also signed a lot of players who fit that bill who haven’t been anywhere near good enough at this level. Any player is a gamble but looking at our squad at the moment, Id rather go for a Patterson than 2-3 hilsner/kasteneers as he’s more likely to be able to play this season which is what...

As long as we get an experienced CB in as well, then happy enough to spend 250k+ on Patterson. Can’t imagine there’s many better choices with decent championship experience for same/less than that

Agreed. Burnley are also a very good side that usually keep the ball well and are known to kick on later in games

Age old problem of not being clinical enough in final third* but no shame in losing away to the best team in the league that had won six on the bounce Did well overall just frustrating. At least one of the new lads looks decent and hopefully we’ll get a couple more in over the coming days...

and me please

Not a surprise but also sensible saying that even if we did have a few quid

dirty protest

Hmmm, yes and no. You could say everyone knows the turnout requirements so if people really wanted to go on strike they’d make sure they’d vote. I wonder if there was a general election with specific turnout requirements would it lead to more people voting or less in protest. On balance I think...

I’ve never had an issue with second jobs as long as they don’t impact the ability for a MP to do their jobs and the employer isn’t expecting influence in exchange for salary. Many of those Tory salaries especially on the left of the list (May speaking aside) suggest otherwise. Geoffrey Cox (who...

Yeah, the shitshow of the last couple of years has hardly been a ringing endorsement for leaving. Most EU countries benefitted from the joined up approach on covid (although some were held back as discussed previously) and with the ongoing war as well most will consider safety in numbers...
