    General election poll

    I don’t disagree with a majority of that. I was having my, what feels like weekly, to and fro with Fernando about monetary policy theory I wouldn’t discount Labour encouraging private investment as well though. PFI was a shitshow and as you say, governments can borrow cheaper so fuck knows what...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You’ve hit the nail on the head here. When most people think of employee rights, they’re understandably thinking about the big multi nationals v the man on the street, when in reality it’s SMEs that employ a majority of people in this country

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But have you tried to remove someone for poor performance/unsuitability for a role ? Its a nightmare these days….well if you’re a firm that operates within the legislation/rules it is. A probationary period can encourage employers to take a punt on someone, knowing if it isn’t a right fit, or...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Probationary periods, within reason, are sensible. Ones I’ve seen have been six months.

    Had to have a little look at the latest odds. Newson coming in… Surely The Rocks worth a quid of anyone’s money though ?

    General election poll

    ts nothing to do with whether it’s like a household budget, you’re the only one who keeps mentioning that. Whether you believe you need to tax people so they directly contribute towards government expenditure or do so to take money out the system as part of MMT, is kind of irrelevant to me. Both...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Can the Dems parachute someone half decent in in time ? If not need a good VP (not Harris) cos if this is the state of Biden now, god knows what he’ll be like in 2-3 years. What a mental situation

    Cricket 2024

    Bit of a spanking that. No doubt the tournament leant towards India and pitch was favorable but why didn’t we bat first and/or bowl Mo if that was the case ? We lost to all the good teams we faced (India, SA and Australia) so didn’t really deserve to make the final. Motty got to go ?

    Cricket 2024

    Dodgy. All been based around India/Indian tv by sounds of it. Starting in 20 mins or so, so hopefully no issue. England win toss and bowl

    UEFA EURO 2024

    I think it’s only fair to judge when the tournaments over. The set up has encouraged a pretty flat third round of games. Having said that I thought the first round of games was better than usual, when everyones usually just trying not to be beaten The real tournament begins at the knock outs

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Agreed. Thought he’s looked better last couple of games though. More involved. As has been said, its been getting so congested in the middle of the pitch (foden, trippier and Saka all cutting in, kane dropping deep, Bellingham in there as well) it’s been hard for players to get space to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There’s a bit of that. I also believe there is an element of wanting to see what might happen in 2-3 months post election (maybe even next 12 months) before making any final calls. If that is the case, I can’t really argue with that.
