    Police

    There's a great big car park right where the away fans come out. Surely the obvious solution is to make that away parking and have I wouldn't necessarily say morons but in terms of how football games are worked I know the last chap they had in charge came with no prior experience of sporting...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That sounds rough. Hope you're sorted out pretty quickly. I guess the positive is they've found it and fixed it so fingers crossed there will be no long term issues.

    Police

    They've done this before and its completely idiotic as it much of the crowd management at the arena. The primary aim seems to be to get people off the footprint of the arena, I presume at that point its 'not our problem' so they don't care if it forces home and away fans together somewhere else...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Englands performance in 120 ball cricket has gone rapidly downhill since the introduction of 100 ball cricket ;)

    All purpose cricket thread

    The focusing everything on white ball cricket really looks to be paying off.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That's what nobody seems able to answer. If not covid what is causing all these excess deaths in every country around the world?

    Facebook and Godden

    We've been here before. Remember when Ponticelli was scoring for fun in the U23s and people were desperate for him to be in the 1st team as he was a guaranteed 20 goals a season striker. 4 goals last season for Wrexham in the National League.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    We use deaths within 28 days of a positive test as its a stat we can produce relatively quickly, and even then we have issues with lag when it comes to making decisions. The cause of death stats take a lot longer to produce and aren't available until weeks or even months later. if you want to...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I'm not sure either of those Illustrate what you think they do. The 'solely by covid' one is clearly a question designed to gain a certain repose. Most people don't die from a single specific cause of death unless they drop down dead on the spot. If you've had anyone in your family with...

    Oxford United FC New Stadium

    I don't think it was ever clarified when the council actually received the funds but you'd assume with Richardsons wealth he could provide bridging finance. The ACL loan wasn't repaid until after the bond was fully subscribed...

    Facebook and Godden

    Would be a bit odd to let Walker go out on loan if we knew Godden was having an op and would be out for weeks. Even if we weren't planning on him starting in Goddens absence it leaves us pretty thin on the ground. Waghorn hasn't played a first team game since October has he? With the number of...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Isn't the reverse true now though? The idea that there was no anti-semitsm pre-Corbyn, masses during Corbyn's time as leader and now he's gone its not a problem again seems unlikely to me but that's certainly the impression you would get as an outsider.

    Interesting thread about food prices and how inflation doesn't impact all demographics equally. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1483778776697909252.html

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You can't be talking about a broad church when on the day a Conservative MP joined Labour you had Reeves talking about falling membership being a good thing as the members leaving "should never have joined the Labour Party. They never shared our values".

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Apparently a CLP meeting has been called for tonight but don't know much about the internal workings of the Labour Party to know if there's much they can do about it but they don't sound happy.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Looks like the much-delayed flying car airport, which in reality is a temporary proof of concept exhibition, is not now going to be at the CBS and instead will be at Westminster Road car park. Edit: turns out its not even that and what they had planned at the CBS isn't actually allowed legally...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well Wakeford himself sponsored a bill proposing that a recall petition should be automatically triggered if a MP changed political affiliation.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Completely agree with this, increasingly looks like this has, at least for now, saved Johnson. I get the argument that Labour has to be a broad church but not sure you have much credibility if you're admitting someone to the party who, according to leaked WhatsApp messages has been calling the...

    This is truly horrendous

    This is obviously an extreme case of modern slavery but I think some people might be surprised how many similarities there are between this and working conditions in some places that are perfectly legal. My company used to do some work for a chain of luxury hotels, we're talking £400 and up a...
