It doesn't no. But take yesterday - we had the young midfielder in that scored. We only signed a young midfielder less than a month ago from a trial last season. Last season we brought in Bosma, and a few months before that Westbrooke after a trial. Not to mention the likes of Eccles, Maycock...

I'm supportive of such a policy as well. It's just that we seem to be offering these youngsters two years deals (occasionally three), so really after a year they should be looking at breaking into the first team otherwise chances are they're just going to get released. We bring a player in in a...

Are you accusing Hiwula of incest?!

I was amazed that we didn't have any fit centre backs to play this game - we've got seven in the squad overall, albeit one of them out on loan. I know that we had another friendly on the same day but surely the likes of Williams and Drysdale, and possibly even Pask, could've been utilised in...

I wasn't happy with the use of those terms because it's not a market in the true sense - teacher pay/increases are largely determined by government and funds they allocate to education. MP pay is also not set by a market but by parliamentary committee. But we supposedly have a very...

No it doesn't. It's not the number there are - it's the number of how many there need to be and how many people apply. All the positions for MP's are filled and there are many times more that 'apply' to become one every election. All the positions for teachers aren't filled and the number of...

The answer to life, the universe and Enobakhare

So why haven't they gone up in line with MP pay and incentives, a job which is massively oversubscribed in terms of applicants? Despite numerous calls from within the sector and in general from the public to remunerate teachers better? If the government are using the same criteria, and favour a...

That list has numerous countries ahead of the UK who in terms of pure economic stats are much worse.

Not on your nelly for that. £750 and a Sainsbury's 10p off per litre voucher. Not a penny more.

Well I'm claiming copyright on the name Fazam

Quality of life goes way beyond economic stats. Even a number of economic stats, such as areas of deprivation, don't look great for the UK.

I agree. Although I hate the term 'boats lifted on a rising tide' - it's used in economics and is horseshit. It's either a complete misunderstanding of how tides work or they mean 'rising sea level'. Even then it's still nonsense.

By that logic leave shouldn't have been on the referendum ballot as it lost when we voted to join. If Scotland got a second vote should independence be left off because it lost last time? Things change. A lot of what was offered/promised to entice people to vote Leave has been proven to be...

The problem with that argument being that it's well known that there is a chronic shortage of teachers and there are lots of teaching positions left unfilled. Teacher turnover and retention of young teachers just after finishing training is extremely poor. I agree that there are a lot of...

Anyone remember the Stutter Rap?

I wholeheartedly agree that those people should be the major voices when talking about issues like racism, homophobia and misogyny. The point I was making is we hear a lot of black people talk about how easy it is being white and feminists go on about how privileged and easy it is to be men...

Maybe there'll be quite a few triallists playing they don't want being publicised? Or maybe the entire Huddersfield squad have been forced by deedpoll to change their name to Patrick Power so the sponsor's name is on every shirt. I've also heard a number of women are changing their name to Bet...

I agree. The thing that should determine the minimum wage should be living costs - the criteria being can you afford to live off it? But of course then you just end up getting people charging more for things and you end up in a vicious circle of inflation. It's why the idea of a 'citizens wage'...

He has the right to speak freely. He (or anyone else) does not have the right to make shit up and claim 'free speech'. If you make claims they should be able to be backed up by evidence (and proper evidence, not "a poll says x% of people think/feel crime is on the rise/Mexicans are rapists")...
