    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Shouldn't the speaker, or someone, actually do something about this. Surely you can't just keep blatantly lying in parliament with no comeback while anyone who says you are lying gets kicked out.

    Bournemouth attendance

    Even with the ridiculous segregation where are the 8K empty seats? That's 25% of the seats empty, there can't be that many not in use surely. Or when people say its capped at 24K do they mean 24K home tickets which sounds plausible, 6K away, 2K segregation and that would add up.

    Fa cup semi finals

    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    there's defiantly benefit to academia but I'm not sure there's a lot of benefit to having hundreds or even thousands of people studying things like media studies or music management when there simply aren't the jobs available. The knock on impact is that those type of industries now have a huge...

    From the sounds of things sending people to Rwanda is going to cost many times the amount we'd spend keeping them here, what a genius plan.

    Student loan interest - an absolute disgrace

    They weren't written off, the pre 2012 loan books were sold to dodgy debt collection companies with no provision for the existing terms to be maintained which resulted in aggressive pursuit of money owed. The companies involved were regularly in trouble with the ombudsman for dodgy practices.

    Rishi’s wife

    Do the people who tirelessly defend the government not get sick of this? This consistently happens, they spend days defending whatever the latest scandal is only for there then to be a u-turn.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Every metric we use shows that productivity has gone up significantly with everything working from home. We also had a meeting where we had to go round everyone in the company and them say if they wanted to go back to the office or not. One or two said they'd like the option but everyone else...

    In what scenario would SISU sell?

    and that's the problem in a nutshell. there's no incentive for the to sell below the price they want while they can keep the club ticking over and there's nobody interested that has the kind of money to thrown away. unless you were a fan of the club why would you pay over the odds for us given...
