    Canada’s wages are stagnating, hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Coincidentally, at the same point net migration has reached its highest point. Sweden has turned its on immigration and has introduced several measures to make entering and settling in Sweden more difficult. It’s reducing...

    You say this with a straight face despite the fact that the coalition never cut NHS spending. ‘Real term’ cuts aren’t cuts, you can’t run a business (or a healthcare system) like that. Besides, this government has increased the NHS budget above ‘real terms’ and we’ll see how they get stuck...

    Can you find me a country that has high wages, high levels of low skill migration and a comprehensive welfare state? You can’t because the priorities are contradictory. I’m genuinely interested in your view on this next question too. What’s more important to you; The welfare state or mass...

    If you’re into history, ‘The Rest is History’ is a great a podcast with two world class historians. They cover all sorts of historical topics so anything that takes your fancy. On to books specifically, Tom Holland’s trilogy of books on Rome are all v good.

    ‘The system was about to collapse’ doesn’t ring particularly true the way they fast tracked rioters and people who posted mean tweets. Rioters, more than happy to clamp down because no one wants civil disorder. Again, the back drop is that the government made it it priority to bring these...

    Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth

    There’s game state. Watford ‘dominated’ the 2nd half but from our POV, the game was all but over and you rightly point that out. Had the game been 2-0, you’d expect us to attack the second half more aggressively to kill it off. As it happened, we did the hard work in the 1st half. Looking at...

    The government did sound tough as the riots happened so it’s not even a secret. It happened at the same time Labour decided to release criminals early which predictably went down like a lead balloon. She did plead guilty and she claims she did so because she was allegedly pressured into it.

    Ok, what’s the evidence here tweeting specifically incited violence? None. There’s an implicit acceptance in your response that the harshness of the sentence was politically motivated and that’s kind of the point here. 12 months for sexual assault of a minor is a joke and allows predators to...

    We’re not even a third way into the season. Last season EMC actually out scored and assisted the same amount of goals as Tats in a lot less minutes. I might even be willing to take you up on a charity bet if you’re this confident? End of the season, EMC has more goals than Tats, winner gets £20...

    How do you quantify that specifically? Is there any direct evidence that the tweet lead to violence? Now weigh that up against the 2 women sexually assault where the crime, perpetrator and victims are quantifiable. Under normal circumstances, Lucy Connolly wouldn’t have got 31 months and...

    On immigration, perhaps the political class should do what the electorate has instructed them to do. Every government from 2005 has been elected to control migration and the opposite has happened. If a party was elected maintain/increase immigration, that’d be fair enough because there was a...

    Good luck correcting an ‘error’ that wasn’t stated as fact. I said it gives ammunition to those who decry “two tier justice” and in politics and public opinion, perceptions matter much more than reality. Most people aren’t familiar with guidelines and I’m sure if you went around and asked...

    EMC is better than Sakamoto and it’s not close. I’m confident EMC will end up with more goals than Sakamoto this season barring injury.

    You don't need to take my word for it when there's detailed analytic tools that gives you heat maps of the players positions. For example, Rudoni literally only ever in a central position in the box, otherwise he's on either wing (more right than left) creating overloads and that's why most of...

    If we are in the top 2 by christmas we will get promoted

    At this point, our form is so strong you look at the fixture list and can't see a game where you think we'll lose. The early warning signs are there though. In our last 2 home games we've lost on 'xG' and anyone at the Watford game will have seen Rushworth stop 2 massive chances for Watford and...

    For sure, my views on immigration are reasonable and possibly influenced more by left leaning people than right. On students, the student visa route is being used as a trojan horse for permanent settlement and there's many students transitioning from this visa to the social care route and...

    Based on polling, the public generally want 0-100k net migration. Ultimately, the public just want reassurance that migration is controlled and people who do come integrate and provide an economic benefit. Post-Brexit, EEA migration has been cut but unfortunately its been supplanted by non-EEA...
