    Ratings v Notts Co

    Agreed. Commanded his area well. Was alert. Good stature for a keeper as well. No surprise with the stand outs. Doyler, Jones and Mac (a couple of great long passes as well as solid)

    Bin men strikes

    To be fair to the Tories (and Lib Dems when in coalition) the increases in the minimum income tax band and rise of national minimum wage is trying to reduce the requirement for tax credits. Makes sense, even if it hasnt been straightforward sorting out the convoluted mess that was in place...

    Bin men strikes

    Check out tube drivers then... The charts that reveal the cushy life of tube drivers - £49k salary, 43 days off a year and a 36-hour week Yet, when anyone want to change job roles or structure to save money they bring up safety etc. Good old unions...Power to the people...well, if youre one...

    Bin men strikes

    Still ongoing ! What a mess ! (Literally !!!) Good old Unite Probably the best explanation of the strike. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/how-much-binmen-paid-birmingham-13344349.amp Reminds me of the argument when there were the recent tube strikes. Let's be honest though, it's...

    General Election

    I'm aware it wasn't in the manifeso but it was implied during the campaign Dave. As I said if it wasn't it wouldn't be a story now. This isn't biased media. It's across all the press I take all the points above and have never denied that we're in a mess at the moment !

    General Election

    It wouldn't be a story if people didn't believe that's what they were suggesting during the campaign and it is important as it's the reason why such a significant number of young people/students (and parents of students) probably voted for Corbyn. Even the guardian have it as a story ! I'm...

    General Election

    I see that Corbyn was backtracking on tv today. Doesn't know the cost to abolish/repay tuition fees, never promised to clear student tuition fee debts etc etc. It was a false bribe that the young swallowed (like a lot of the other promises - the vagueness about the EU was also intentionally...

    Half truths even !

    General Election

    Hmm, I'm not sure it's quite 9% interest Ian. By the way I disagree with anything above inflation and nominal amount for these loans (i.e. + 0.5-1%) which is less than what they are charged currently but argue on fact not halve truths. It's like all the talk of 'austerity', trying to paint a...

    left wing agitation and John Mcdonnell

    Some common sense at last. Case in point: France forced to drop 75% supertax after meagre returns If Corbyn believes he would generate what was needed to deliver his manifesto promises from additional taxing of the "rich" and raising corporation tax by 7% (in the middle of Brexit negotiations...

    left wing agitation and John Mcdonnell

    Clint you can't just peddle bullshit and expect people not to respond. I'm all for sensible debates but this is why I can't be bothered with arguing with people on here (who twist figures and lie to get their point across) In response Growth lower than Greece. Have you seen the base Greece are...

    General Election

    Whats ironic about it ? I try to be reasonably well informed before I make any political voting decision (I agonised for days/weeks over the referendum vote and continued to do so after). I have voted for both major parties in my lifetime and would do again if I felt their policies were...

    General Election

    Agree with most of that. I do think there are other worries around the world though (Russia - in the East rather than immediate threat to the West). Also I'm not sure what labours stance is on the other matters (and whether it differs to the Tories)

    General Election

    It's hard to disagree with him on Iraq. I think plenty of people disagreed with the Iraq war (especially once we all found out the evidence the government used as a basis for going to war was bullshit) It's whether you believe that we (the West) should be the worlds policemen or not. I...

    General Election

    People questioned, quite rightly, Corbyn political past. I still don't buy this carefully crafted media image he now has. May is what she is, awkward, probably naturally shy and...badly advised I have to admit he has come across far more people friendly than May during recent weeks. I believe...

    General Election

    Exactly ! Three different protest in one day ?!! The two for selfish political reasons, and one regarding a genuine tragedy where answers are needed and people held accountable !

    General Election

    Ps whatever people think about May (and admittedly she was shite during election campaign) some of the stuff being said, shouted and written about her is a disgrace. All this bullshit on social media that if you don't like someone's party or agree with their policies they're suddenly scum is an...

    General Election

    I've got no issue with people protesting for the right reasons (Grenfell tragedy) but the rest on the same day isnt right in my view The protests should be against the council and contractors, not the governement. If it's true that the council is sat on several hundred million I'm not sure May...
