    And potentially save a fortune, until people go crying to The Guardian that it is just too stressful. This is the problem with the continuation of processes temporarily introduced during Covid. I expect the assessors are WFH. Or start an online petition.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The point is valid in was that there was a lot made of Reeves experience as an economist and what a fantastic qualification that was to be chancellor. Whether that was purely gleaned from Linkedin or not, she would have made the entry. Perhaps writing a fiction is better than publishing...

    Didnt collectivisation of farms result in quite a severe famine?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You aren’t seriously suggesting that this Labour government has displayed outstanding competence so far, surely. A chancellor appointed with great fanfares about her experience as an economist (a lie), another minister who has committed fraud, acceptance of freebies (clothes and spectacles)...

    Another rant on defending corners

    In the Boothroyd days, the stats showed that the quicker teams got the ball into the opposition area, the more qoals they would score and hence the more games they would win. So many teams played a variant of hoof ball. Most teams nowadays play AAATB football. The trouble is, we don’t have the...

    Starmer thinks he is. Isn‘t the term “right wing” also typically used as a pejorative? There have been a surprising number of posts from left leaning people on here which I would suggest aren’t supportive of the world being a fairer place or more equal for people of my generation. I have been...

    Another rant on defending corners

    We went through a phase a while back of having everyone back for corners, and then changed to leaving one or two up. We seem to have reverted this season. Personally I think it means that if we do manage to clear the ball from an opponents corner, it ends up coming straight back because there is...

    Well, I apparently mistakenly thought it and its supporters were socialist . You were saying the people on here who voted for Labour are not necessarily socialists, I am wondering what they are.

    There will have to be more investment in schools to accommodate those no longer in private education. Does more always equal better?

    NI contributions do entitle you to something - the state pension and, it would appear, JSA. I understand they aren’t hypothecated and where today’s benefits come from.

    Well there will be the obligatory 2 goal start given to Millwall, and then it all depends on whether the strikers are more clinical with their finishing. Another 2-2 draw wouldn’t surprise me.

    Tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance may not be. I might argue that choosing an £80k company EV rather than an £80k ICE company car is tax avoidance because the real benefit is the value of the car whilst the tax regime will only charge you tax on, say, 2% of the list price for the former...

    I was sitting here mulling things over, and I have realised that a combination of 5 months Labour government and 5 months exposure to all the socialists on here has driven me further and further to the right. Well done chaps!
