Think I’ve said before, I’d always be careful taking one sentence quotes from a whole debate, especially when the bible was in the discussion. This has been a real issue post kirks death, in some weird way to justify the assassination. He did say some unsavoury, outdated stuff (mainly related to...

Historically Id agree but if you look at Bidens policies ranging from immigration to unions to tax/spending I think you’d struggle to call them centre right. Harris was further left in her beliefs

I was saying the same to a mate yesterday. Rudoni obviously stands out as an attacker but I get as much joy from watching grimes play.

He’s been one of the main reasons for Dasilvas improvement, that and having Kitching alongside him and not Binks. Grimes is just such a quality player though, even when he’s not on the ball/tackling he’s often plugging gaps to stop the opposition progressing. I saw some 6’s in the ratings which...

Eccles will play a big part this season. A lot of fans forget he was our best player at the start of last season (appreciate not saying much). No disrespect to sheaf but I’d rather have Eccles coming off the bench for those type of situations where pressing, harrying is needed

This is first post I’ve read since the game and if people are annoyed I won’t bother reading back. Good point, great clean sheet. Some of our fans have lost it if they don’t see that

First proper test today. If EMC is out I’d be tempted with simms up top and wright on left, guessing Lampard will go for Thomas assante though. draw would be a great result, win and it will feel like we could be contenders this season

Nearly everyone in the country wants the wealthiest to pay more. If you can find a wealth tax that will generate significant revenue (and not lead to an exodus of the very richest) then I’d be all for it. Out of interest and from what you’ve read, what would your proposal be and how much would...

Good timing from Corbo ‘Ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana has accused Jeremy Corbyn of overseeing a "sexist boys' club" locking women out of the founding of a new left-wing party the pair announced earlier this year’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgkn3v1e7g3o.amp

Haha, yeah stuff like that doesn’t bother me. I haven’t minded a bit of Gavin and Stacey over the years. Harmless enough

Come on, mrs browns boys is on a different level of shit. Gavin and Stacey was at least a bit heart warming in patches

Agreed. It’s got to be done. By the time I’m able to draw a state pension I reckon it will be means tested. A disgrace for people who’ve ‘paid in’ all their lives (we all know NIC is just an extra tax though) but that’s the reality of the situation. As I said above, check the situation in...

But people keep talking about cuts and yet the extra borrowing and tax this government have brought in should generate an extra £300-400bn during the parliament. Unfortunately spending is accelerating also Nobody wants to take the tough choices, do we keep triple lock, do we allow an ever...

And that’s the lefts answer, try to control spending and you’ll get civil war 🤷‍♂️. This isn’t even cuts it’s about slowing the acceleration to a more sustainable level There’s plenty of truth in what you say but the constant ‘no’ to everything is exactly why the bond markets have been...

Yeah, it’s mental. Theres a good justification to reduce their balance sheet, to give more wriggle room in a crisis but it’s been awful timing. It’s led to big losses at worst time to replace debt and led to higher longer bonds yields by all accounts, so cost the treasury a fortune. Could’ve...

For anyone interested and not fast asleep after my post, this is a pretty good explanation of QE https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/quantitative-easing

Probably all bollocks but I tried 😂

I’m no economist and it’s complex but I will try to explain my view…you might be better trying Google Ai though ! Firstly, I’d imagine if you proposed this the market for U.K. gilts would collapse as anyone holding would likely sell off due to uncertainty and knowing they are being paid back...

If the investment guarantees growth which outpaces the increase in borrowing costs I agree. Confidence in the government delivering that….hmmmmm As I’ve said before I genuinely think we and various other developed economies like France, Japan, even US plus various others are in pretty big...

Pretty sure the government has increased taxes by £40bn pa and changed fiscal rules to increase borrowing by the same per annum. Combined that’s an extra £300-£400bn over the parliament We currently spend £100bn+ pa servicing debt. Inflation is still nearly double target. You borrow more and...
