    Eh? Barclays are going to Dublin, as are Standard Charter, Lloyds to Berlin and HSBC to Paris.JP Morgan splitting between Frankfurt and Dublin, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup the same, Goldman Sachs to Frankfurt and Credit Suisse to Dublin. It would be a big problem for people who ended up with...

    General Election

    This HSBC thing seems really dodgy. Loaning hundreds of millions at the height of the financial crisis to a company in trouble who in turn then made multi million donations to the Conservatives. Then the chairman of HSBC was made a peer and the government put pressure on US investigators not to...

    General Election

    Totally agree with this. Abbot is a nightmare and she's messed this interview up royally but it gives a prime example of the issues with bias in the media. The interview in question was preceded by 6 others where she correctly quoted the figures as this plan has been fully costed. Compare the...

    D Day Today

    Wouldn't be bothered if most of the squad went. That said don't make the same mistake as last year and release players and then not get in replacements.

    Didn't know you could buy season tickets for SISU. Are they more or less than the season tickets to watch the football?

    There's a report in FAZ (German newspaper) on May’s dinner with Juncker, it doesn't make for good reading. Its in German but a reporter from the Economist has translated the major points: 1) May had said she wanted to talk not just Brexit but also world problems; but in practice it fell to...

    General Election

    Why should nurses working long hours and on shifts have to house share to be able to afford to live anywhere? And of course thanks to the changes the government have made to bursaries and fees they now enter employment with an average of £68K in debt to repay.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    If the budget was that bad why was Mowbray looking at players from higher divisions? Doesn't make sense. I don't for a minute believe we had the lowest budget in the league. Our payout on agent fees was the 4th highest in the division.

    Leyton Orient

    After such a long delay did they do full warm ups again? If not that might be why they just knocked it around. Wanted to avoid anyone getting injured.

    General Election

    In work benefits are at a record high. The taxpayer is essentially subsidising employers who won't pay staff a living wage. Many of them while they make huge profits. The UK has suffered a bigger real terms fall in wages than any other developed country apart from Greece.

    General Election

    She was terrible on Marr this morning. Problem is how many people watch that? Marr quoted Royal College of Nursing figures showing nurses have had a 14% pay cut since 2010 and they are using food banks in order to eat. Her answer was to basically say nurses needing to use food banks was nothing...
