    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    He could’ve brought on some stunning strippers and you would’ve found something to complain about ie their tits were too big or small ;) ps you know out of everything my bugbear has been NHS worker testing (together with PPE distribution) more than the other issues/concerns/complaints so maybe...

    Seriously though I’d rather hear more detail about the challenges and plans than just soundbites and fudging/stock responses

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Disagree ROS, press briefing was probably the most useful they’ve done of late, more detail around the challenges and proper plan. Never been a big fan of Hancock but he’ll obviously (you’d hope anyway !) have a far better understanding of NHS challenges etc than a Gove or Raab. Giving the...

    Pay cuts at Premier League clubs

    I’m finding the whole stance of prem clubs and players pretty appalling at the moment. I was hoping one group of players would’ve come out by now and make the gesture of a 10-20% pay cut (then others would follow) All we’ve got is silence from the players and clubs using the fucking furlough...

    Pay cuts at Premier League clubs

    Players should be taking cuts (and asking clubs to use that for non footballing staff or to pass some down the leagues) but have been advised not to by Gordon Taylor and agents by all accounts Me and my mate were talking earlier and both said ‘didn’t he resign ages ago’. Checked and he...

    I don’t think it is David (pretty sure new cases was 3k yesterday, up to 4K today) Never one to only post negative news so I’ve attached the graph from the guardian which might indicate a bit of a more positive underlying trend. The NHS online symptom assessment and 111 call numbers peaked...

    Cant disagree NW but I don’t think uni numbers have reduced post tuition fee introduction (stand to be corrected). As I’ve indicated I’d overhaul the system, reintroduce grants/subsidies etc and ensure students got value for their courses (would also take a look at some of the principals...

    Sunderland Til' I Die

    It’s decent watch. Only seen first episode, to be fair thought Stuart Donald comes across pretty well. The meeting between that Charlie and the four others (hopefully in the top echelons of the club !!!) was cringeworthy/comedy gold.

    Yeah, it’s a fair point, but it’s sometimes timing (what’s happening in country/economy etc) and opponents, for example Brown and Milliband probably (almost certainly) beat May. Blair beats Cameron and probably Johnson (in previous years but unsure in 2019 due to Brexit)

    He's trickier. Cameron was pretty slick (little substance) to be fair. He/Tories played on the ‘give us a chance to govern on our own now we’ve done the dirty work’ (even though he probably didn’t want/expect to) ps these are just guesses don’t be offended anyone !!!

    Possible other reasons for Brown - tarnished by the Iraq war legacy, the messy situation with Blair (the agreement/that fact that he became PM shortly after people voted for Blair in election) and labour had been in power for 15 years.

    Fernando, I was just raising one issue with the manifesto that I questioned. I know a lot of people who haven’t been to uni and quite rightly some question why they should cover the cost for others to go (I’ve said before I’d personally provide grants/subsidise courses where we need graduates...

    Can’t disagree BSB but 2017 was blurred by Brexit. I was more referring to 2019 with Clint. From memory, forgive me if I’m wrong (3 weeks is a long tome these days let a lone three years !), the 2017 manifesto (possibly with the exception of the repayment of student tuition fees - significantly...

    It’s like Groundhog Day. I’m not even that fussed about mass testing for all at the moment, they just need to make sure the NHS workers (and if necessary their families) are tested asap

    Plenty of policies were right and I agreed with them, as I did with many of the Tories policies (and would hope many on the left would say the same) But broadband infrastructure project is a bit different to free broadband for all, in addition with the implied intention to nationalise everything...

    But Corbyn/McDonnell and some his/their policies might’ve been right for sections of the party but they weren’t for the country...that’s probably more of a fact There’s probably no point getting into a political debate about choices as it’s irrelevant for another few years but the sooner labour...

    All the left need to do Clint is offer up a decent alternative. The Tories should never have had a chance of getting back in after 10 years in power, part coalition (after years of austerity), yet won by a massive majority. That isn’t just because a large proportion of the voting public are...
