    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.

    Bin Strikes

    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...

    Wait until they find out about the government selling patient data to third parties, they'll be furious.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Was a bit of an odd ramble. Says we have to remain cautious and that Omicron is not mild for everyone but then says he's removing the few mitigations we have in place and trusting people to make the right choices.

    Bin Strikes

    That's great in theory but as someone put it on the radio the other day the current working generation are on their 4th 'once in a lifetime' situation in under 15 years that they're being expected to weather. We had the global financial crisis, followed by austerity, brexit and covid. The...
