looks like a big spike since 2010 which was post financial crisis (not sure if that’s relevant or not) and following large population growth in U.K. (5m) Germany and France have only grown by about 2m each and Italy decreased by 1m since 2010. Since 2000 we’ve grown by almost 9m, Germany by...

I think the OBR are 22bn out on their forecast borrowing figure provided in Nov ! This is hot on the heels of BoEs forecasted eight quarter recession in Nov, which had already shrunk to 3-4 quarters by last month. Its why I take forecasts with more than a pinch of salt ultimately though this is...

Bonus Who does she think she it ?! Shes lucky to have a job

I’ve not seen anything that has been substantiated or even fully justified but did see someone from BoE say about 3% per annum food inflation, not total inflation. Not sure how when there are no tariffs and we’re not checking any goods until 2024 (so no extra cost for EU exporters caused by...

Im not sure if you’re kidding but I’ve heard Labour would support the proposals so they could get through. Sunak would still be in the shit though. He really needs DUP to support them which would probably dampen down ERG/nutters arguments a bit

I agree mate. Pre Brexit both ours and many European countries would swing from minority in support of EU to minority against it. A lot of this will depend on people’s individual circumstances, the performance of the economy etc….as well as some external persuasions as you say. My frustration...

They open up singers corner properly…the fuckers ?!

Hmmm, I understand what you’re saying but i wasn’t being disingenuous. The fact is it would be a minor voting issue for most people (until 2017). When the referendum finally came half the public voted out so were obviously not happy with what it had become. From memory I think France, Ireland...

Most don’t/didn’t want to be a part of the political institution the EU had become, one which continued to get ever closer. We signed up to be part of a trading bloc and ended up being involved in something very different. You can blame the politicians and the EU as an institution as much as...

Yeah, mentioned that the other day. Will be interesting to see their response !

Hopefully he’s the equivalent of some of the ERG nutters in the Tories. The DUP leader was making more positive noises last week. Nice to see Johnson sticking his oar in yesterday…they’re trying to clear up one of the turds you left so maybe best to keep it buttoned for now

Yeah, I try to keep petrol/diesel and home energy separate. Either way both should be coming down ! Im sure it will improve soon Wingy

Agree with that but by all accounts the petrol stations are making more than double usual profit per litre since pandemic

I’ve used plenty in clubs over the years and was more than happy….the state of gents toilets these days are usually a disgrace. My point is that I’m not sure a majority of women feel the same, certainly not in all settings. Also most places if you take the urinals out, the queues will be round...

Agree with the final paragraph but I suppose the flip side is why try to alter various things for such a tiny proportion of the population 48,000 (0.10%) identified as a trans man. 48,000 (0.10%) identified as a trans woman. 30,000 (0.06%) identified as non-binary. 18,000 (0.04%) wrote in a...

Agree with this. Panzo looked good for a few games before Fadz injury. Wheels came off after but you could say that for everyone defensively/Wilson Two games since his return we’ve just looked a lot more solid and organised

Return of the Brexit thread…where have you been my dear old friend (I know Tony likes to use the politics thread instead but I won’t ignore you) Looks like sunaks presenting a new NI deal to DUP. Think we all know how that’s going to go down ! Seen a couple of comments that the DUP just don’t...

Or just not properly match fit and/or bedding in Pete. It’s takes some players weeks or months even to get fully up to speed at a new club, especially if they’ve not been playing, short of confidence or whatever, yet we seem to expect players to come in and be world beaters from day one. Palmers...

Agreed. The two ‘misses’ tonight were when he was running at full pelt with the keeper racing out to close the angle yet some talk like their two yard taps ins. They couldn’t handle his pace and power and his link play with Palmer tonight was very good. He’s a top player

Great performance tonight although nervy last 15. Deserved to be a couple up at half time. Everyone contributed but Palmer, cuffy, Vik and Fadz stand outs Started with some intensity and crowd responded. Far better atmosphere overall ps funny to hear all these top quality footballers giving...
