    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve seen VDL indicate that it has to be on the table but I don’t think Germany committed to it and it would be their call (I believe). From what I’ve read Germany need will need their gas especially as they’re closing down their nuclear plants. I suppose we won’t know unless/until sanctions...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve no doubt the government is playing up our role/influence but Germany in particular are keeping quiet because they have a huge reliance on Russian gas (even more so in future)…they didn’t even want to mention the Nord stream 2 pipeline in potential sanctions.

    Three downs to get a yard 😬 Great, close, nervy game though Kupps the man. Deserved MVP this year, stats were unbelievable

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I was talking about what I was basing my views of the situation on. As I said, Putin may have a point and he will use that as his excuse because it gets a sympathetic ear but I doubt that’s the main reason for his actions

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, there is a potential argument from Putin but as I’ve said before he will find an excuse for his actions either way. I just don’t trust a word he says. Ukraine are ultimately asking for assistance to protect their democracy/country and I presume there is only ongoing talk of them joining...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think that’s the plan. If peoples living standards have been squeezed for two years (and unemployment rises - could happen if interest rates go up and businesses struggle with debt) I’m not sure it will sway people though

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I believe Johnson is a reasonably big state Tory compared to most of in the party. Whether he can deliver what he’d want post Covid I doubt. As everyones noted though he didn’t actually have any type of plan around the slogans/soundbites though…the levelling up paper and opportunities from...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree that you can’t look at pay back the pandemic cash immediately…we probably won’t ever. I don’t think Sunak has either though* ?! From what I’ve seen he’s just trying to get annual spending back to pre pandemic levels (NHS aside which is understandably getting billions more) *edit - from...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I was talking more about inflationary pressures which are worldwide Ive said before I personally would’ve dropped VAT on energy although I acknowledge that would’ve helped those that don’t need help and also wouldn’t have made a huge difference to households at 5% (no more so that the other...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We’ve done more than our fair share of money printing, so has EU and US (The fed printed 7trillion last year) You don’t think printing endless amounts of new money and in the US case, giving out cheques to everyone (even people who didn’t need them) hasn’t had an impact in inflation ?! There’s...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hmmm, I’m sure he’s got a reasonable understanding, he just has a different ideology/view of it. The furlough scheme worked for example. He’s not personally responsible for the other wastage which he appears to have decided needs to be paid for. Whether you or I agree on his approach, or if you...

    Buried that one when he was offside in the first half as well. Just confidence. Also I’m not making excuses for our players but Robins was saying pitch wasn’t/isn’t good so the odd shank or miss kick has got to be expected Midfield as a whole needs to chip in far more though and Rose and Hyam...

    Looks like it. Payton did well to escape when he did ! Thing is with Thomas hopefully back next season, kamara plus Winston/Hill we might’ve been okish. Without kamara/him using up cap space we’ll be fucked

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, idiots will just jump on stuff in the public domain though and MPs/PM shouldn’t be feeding the fire/giving any more ammunition I’ve advocated freedom of speech on the other thread but parliament should rise above this type of stuff and also condemn any similar language from their...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s been said for a while MPs need to tone it all down. Some of the language is unacceptable whether that’s Johnson with his slurs or Rayner with her ‘Tory scum’ and it only damages Parliament as a whole and whip up idiots in the public Johnson shouldve just apologised and said he was...

    Not sure. They haven’t released anything though have they ?! Might all be bullshit anyway. Just hope his cash doesn’t mean he wriggles out of this

    True/genuine as in, is this the way the situation and defence is going (are these going to be the arguments greenwoods side is making). That Man United Football club is just subject title I think. These are just rumours that people are sharing
