Is that just a percentage of a total or normalised for number of people in those settings? I mean, everyone goes to supermarkets and there’s thousands of them. A huge chunk go to schools, a lot fewer to hospitals etc.

I think you’d be mostly right. It’s the Boris vote, the Brexit vote, the “look after our own” vote, the Trump vote, the Hang The Pedos And Fund The NHS vote. It’s also the union vote traditionally. Thing is most of the party membership these days are middle class socially liberal activists...

It wasn’t about Wasps generally more the closeness of the rugby lobby to the Tory Party means if they had to take an action that killed off a club (like set a large state aid penalty) they probably wouldn’t.

Quite literally, in the GDP calculations, tax subtracts from the total size of the economy. Conceptually tax is for taking money out of circulation to curb behaviour or reduce inflation. (Interestingly historically taxes are there to give a currency value, no point in giving our useless money so...

The thing is Starmer attacking them doesn’t work. The call came from inside the house with Labour. Javid and Warsi did the same for the Tory Islamophobia and Johnson was forced to promise a review (which I believe they then tried to turn into a “is Islamophobia real?” Review but I lost track)...

How terrible and totally unique to American left wing politics. :p Edit: in seriousness this comes from the activist/electoral split again and has always missed the right because their party can happily ignore its fringes. Farage and the rest take just as many pops at the Tories for the same...

Not sure I’d say we “played them off the park” in the first game. My view was limited but I remember it being more of a stalemate. We changed formation for the replay and by all accounts (I didn’t go) looked a lot more competitive for it. Same formation this time with better players is...

Standard attack lines really. Would hold more weight if the Tories had shown any interest whatsoever about dealing with their own Islamophobia and AS issues TBH. Corbyn handled AS poorly, and the issue with him was it was too rife too close to him, but the idea that Labour is the worst party...

Godden didn’t start against Brum, this was the team: We played most of the first 90 mins without Godden, and all of it and the first half of ET without Walsh. I can’t see how you can argue that XI is stronger TBH. Walker over Baka, McCallum over Mason, Østigård over Pask, Sheaf over...

Reynolds always comes across as a genuinely good guy. Will be interesting to see what happens here.

Cant believe Robins is wetting the bed ;)

“Pay a fortune to the economy in taxes” Firstly, taxes take money out of the economy, secondly you pay a lot because you earn a lot. And the EPL is what it is because of the ecosystem it comes from. You think we have the strongest top division by chance and it’s just a coincidence we also have...

Not to say I told you so, but I have been saying that this government wouldn’t let major rugby clubs go to the wall when people have been fantasising about some state aid remedy bankrupting them. Their position seems to be “men’s football is popular so the rich can give charity to the poor...

I think this is a fundamental disconnect between activist and parliament. Activists can push boundaries and shout loudly and be effective at it. MPs have to work differently. Corbyn was an outstanding activist and campaigner, but like the Tories found out with Cummings being good at campaigning...

So pessimistic XI: Maroši Rose Østigård Hyam McCallum Sheaf Kelly Shipley Giles Biamou Walker “Robins injury mind games” XI: Maroši Rose Østigård Hyam Dabo Hamer Sheaf Shipley Giles Godden Walker

The quality has dipped generally since Tom left but the injury reports are usually good because they go over every player (even Jones) so it’s handy to find out what’s what.

Well he says probably. CT article is weird. Seems to repeat the Godden paragraph for the Hamer bit so makes it sound like Hamer and Godden are both as doubtful as each other. Dacosta out for three weeks. Dabo not definitely back either. We just can’t catch a break.

Im not wetting the bed. I think it’s a sensible move generally in a compressed season. I just think Robins has shown that subs aren’t really our issue. When he’s spoken it’s been about not having the squad depth rather than us using three subs and wanting more. So I don’t think we have the...

Again. You say it’s not effective opposition (10), because to you effective opposition means getting shouty at PMQs and voting for the Twitter memes. Not trying to get changes to a law when you’re up against an 80 seat majority. I think you don’t appreciate just how different Corbyns situation...

Ser this pisses me off “at least they believe something”. Fucking everyone in politics believes something. Even BoZo has principles about liberalism and trade. This is a disagreement about tactics. How do you get elected when by definition the country don’t all agree with you 100%. Which...
