So in broad brush strokes the numbers seem to be along the lines of 1% of rapes reported, and of those reported, 1% end up in convictions. That doesn't suggest to me that the burden of proof for a conviction is too low. This has been an issue for a very long time...

Doddle mate, just get one of your old school friends or alumni to get you a job where you can directly influence the award of Government contracts and have a say over planning law or regulatory requirements. Easy if you went to the right school (and have the required moral flexibility)...

How can it not impact your job, seriously? Being an MP is arguably the most important role in the country. You're representing tens of thousands of constituents and providing leadership and governance for the entire country. If you've got time for a second job then you're not taking it...

Actually, I'm blaming the typically shite level of journalism in the CET for the endless speculation and stress here. More of this "it's understood that the EFL have ratified the deal". Andy Turner et al, if you do read this, the CET has gone from a respected newspaper to an absolute...

That's exactly what worries me too. The timing of the King bid was very odd and very last minute. Nothing about it seems organised or straightforward, and the EFL delays only add to that suspicion. Don't get me wrong, I'd be delighted to see the back of SISU, but it just feels 'off' somehow and...

We were first on MoTD, it's been a long time since that's happened. 😄

I wonder if Tavares is a better player coming on against tired defenders than starting a game? He wasn't getting much change against a fairly average defence yesterday. I'd love to see him come good, but I'm not really certain he ever will. That said, I hope he recovers quickly from his injury...

Well, at least it was an exciting watch. If they've been working on defending long throws in training, it clearly didn't pay off! I don't know what's happened to Dabo or Moore, they both seem to have gone backwards massively. Might just be me, but I'm not going to get hugely upset about it...

The longer it takes, the more dubious it feels to me. "Imminent" is a meaningless word in this context, and I can't see why there needs to be a veil of secrecy on the process - the club, the EFL, or King himself could explain the delays without giving away any commercial secrets. For example if...

I'd tell them that you haven't got access to a printer and given the packaging isn't secure you're unable to return it until they provide new packaging and a proper label. Mess 'em about a bit. If you've already had the refund then I think they're screwed unless they recharge your card.

Excellent read. And yes, agreed, fuck that racist boor Philip Larkin - not fit to lace Terry's boots, in football parlance.

Six times smaller than our ground and they still won't fill it most of the time. 😄 Wasps - fuck off down south for God's sake, and treat your real fans with some respect for once.

It looks like Wasps are on a mission to make Millwall look popular. Is there anyone they've not pissed off yet?

Spot on, Otis. It's always been a rough old working class town, and it's funny how we can both hate it and love it in equal measure. Anything that was anti-Thatcher and poked a finger in the eye of the racist dickheads was ok by me, the fact that it was brilliant music just added to the mix. I...

That's exactly what I was thinking. I suspect the clueless bastards at the RFU are making Wasps stick to the "local area" clause in their rehabilitation from administration guidelines, ignoring the fact that they let exactly the same outfit move 100 miles North of their actual home just a few...

Wasps shit on everyone they ever did business with; took the taxpayer for an absolute fortune, cost the club almost half a million directly and much more indirectly, and the Council that supported them every step of the way (and even looked at bailing them out!) are just going to walk away from...

Who called out a ton of the shit that the Council were getting up to in secret, like the first Ricoh bail-out, and was unfairly dismissed by the CET for embarrassing one of their main advertisers. I don't know about this Kovblog bloke, but evidence clearly shows that the Council can't be...

I'm still struggling to believe the DK deal is for real, but even if it is he surely doesn't have the funds to pressure Ashley. What do I know though, I thought the club had an legally secure ten-year lease rather than a bog paper license. Nothing is ever what it seems with anyone involved...

The fat c**t cares only for himself, it's how he got to where he is. You've only got to see how he treats his employees to see that. His only interest in us is an expensive bit of personal glory and a maybe a few quid in profit somewhere down the line. Probably not much better than our...

Indeed, and just for a little context here the UK Government seems to have somehow lost around 4bn in useless PPE contracts and is awarding multiple Lordships to Tory donors (some with KGB contacts of course). Endemic political corruption? Hello Pot, have you met Kettle? 😁
