The top end certainly is but you're not going to convince me that people who are doing courses where they only have to attend for 4 or 5 hours a week are getting a world class education. Further education has become a business and like any business they had the ups where thousands of people...

Who is paying for this conversion? There's a reason developers are so keen on student accommodation, cheaper to built poor quality housing and they know they'll get a return in a shorter amount of time. They will then abandon it before a shit ton of work is needed. When I lived in Portsmouth...

Irrespective of whose fault it is we've dug a hole we can't get out of easily. There's 2.2m students attending university and 240K staff. If you cut things back to just degrees that are needed by various employment sectors what do you do with all the people that no longer have jobs or...

At this point it would be only be news if they'd stuck to something they'd promised. All very much same shit different day so far. They even got a bollocking from the speaker today for announcing policy in the media before parliament. Something we all complained about the previous government...

What was the thinking behind them never being tied to inflation? Surely someone should have seen an issue coming down the line.

If you read the article in the Times it just seems like pretty sensible contingency planning. Plans were put in place in case there was more violence when the additional charges were announced, surely everyone would agree that was not of the question, but the timing coincided with the end of...

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: are we certain that's not a parody account???

Social care funding needs to be managed centrally, probably by the NHS or at least in partnership with them The amount of meetings, forms etc I have to deal with going between the NHS and the council is insane. Can’t even begin to imagine how much is being lost on unneeded admin

Don't know what everyone was worried about

thank fuck for that. my nerves are shot!

Get Rudoni off before he gets sent off

Robins said the other day that they've been doing a lot of work with John Dempster on set pieces and there's been a definite improvement

Need to kill the game off, no sitting back and letting them come at us

good ref for a change ;)

Don't allow the manager or coaches to communicate with the players when there's a stoppage for an injury, problem solved.

Exactly and if we rushed out and bought anyone just to have a body in those same people would be moaning about signing players who aren't top quality

This is always the thing. People talk about transfers like we decide who we want and that's it, they will sign. If we end up short in a position it's always because Robins & the recruitment team are clueless or King won't pay. Never because we've tried to make signings and they haven't come off...

Bet Starmer can't believe his luck. Wins a landslide based on little more than the government being terrible and now they've elected a leader who makes the last few leaders look sane and competent. Struggling to see how her rhetoric will help them recapture the centrist votes they need to get...

Good idea that. The one I hate is when you work somewhere that decides to shut between Xmas and New Year as they have no work but then take it off your annual leave.

A while ago on The Grade Cricketer podcast they described whiteball, well T20 but I think it applies to all whiteball, as background noise. There's so much being played you can turn the TV on at pretty much any point and there's a game. They're killing the international game with the...
