And I’ve asked for your sources for the numbers you claim. I don’t know of any legitimate source that claims the British killed 10m Native Americans systematically as an act of genocide. You’re conflating years of conquest and occupation with the eradication of a race. Again, it’s apples and...

Makes a whole bunch of people think they’re Warren Buffet though and vote Tory.

I think there’s got to be something that can equalise private and social rent history, take it into account for credit worthiness, and provide a foot onto home ownership for those people that doesn’t bankrupt councils or inflate house prices massively or benefit quick Buck landlords.

But why the morbid fascination with making out we were some kind of historical anomaly? Our most popular kids history series is all about horrible things people did in history, it’s hardly hidden from kids. There seems to be a new thing that insists European or Western “imperialism” is somehow...

Thing is if you’ve (with all due respect to the relevant communities) lived in a shithole for years and someone hands you a wedge of equity. The first thing you’ll want to do is probably leave said shithole. Which makes you wonder why not just hand FTBs a fat deposit at this rate?

This wasn’t a systematic government policy. It was a mix of a whole host of things but mostly that’s the way the world worked in the 1800s. Germans are taught about fascism because it was a live issue that needed addressing in the populace. Unless you’re claiming there’s a live issue in U.K...

Such a short term strategy. Pay a private company to take an asset that will only ever appreciate in value off you to cover short term cash flow. When you print cash.

OK. Time to see some sources. Because I’m having real trouble making these numbers add up. Are you counting native Americans killed by European disease here? I mean “people did horrible shit in the past” sure. But the scale of the Holocaust was something else. There’s nothing in British history...

🤷🏻‍♂️ But why can Whitefriars? Selling land as a council is dumb af.

It’s basically a big fat landlord owning commercial and residential property at scale across the area. The idea it should’ve schatting for cash seem ridiculous TBH

Its mental that we seem to have blocked councils off from the most obvious income source (build to social rent) and have got them playing stock market games like a member of r/wallstreetbets I don’t understand the issue with government being slow and boring and dependable. It’s one USP is it...

Im sorry are you claiming the way the British treated the Indians is worse than he way Nazi Germany treated Jews?

That’s not what you’re saying though. Any half decent historian should laugh at the idea of the right side of history. But to compare a project to systematically eradicate an ethnicity and religion using industrial means and taking over countries for resources (and let’s be honest if you didn’t...

But you’re comparing Nazi Germany in the 1940s with a system of conquest that was the norm at the time and every capable nation did. It’s apples and oranges.

What about the Spanish, French, Dutch, Chinese, etc empires? What made Britain specifically so morally reprehensible for the time?

Surely your issue is with Robins then? I agree Robins should replace tiring players sooner. But you can’t blame the players for that.

Ive seen him blamed more for missing a rebound at knee height than the man who missed the pen, blamed for us conceding a goal where our defenders basically gift wrapped the goal, for not running enough in the 88th minute literally as a sub had been waiting for five minutes to come on and still...

Cant imagine an own goal and a 30 yard free kick did much to dent that TBF.

Was a youth player in the 90s/2000s wasn’t he?

Everywhere has too many cars. The infrastructure just wasn’t built for every adult to have one. We aren’t America. Just as people have with houses as households break down I think people might have to manage their mobility expectations. What I can’t get my head around is my 13 year old daughter...
