This is excellent. When Good Political Arguments Go Bad: On “Critique Drift”

Doesn’t sound like Dacosta has been brought in to play on the left does it? Either Mason steps up or we need a LWB I reckon. Can’t wait until the season finishes and we start seeing the team take shape, so exciting.

Nah, UBI done properly would claw back excess wealth from those who don’t need it and increase spending at the bottom on essentials. And besides isn’t the entire point of capitalism that that sort of price fixing isn’t possible? Putting money into the working classes won’t be inflationary...

Coincidences surely?

Sexual desire full stop is often racist. Is that wrong? Is it worse than me not liking blonde girls?

We’re so lucky Brown was there at the time. You just have to look at the mess they made of the recovery to see how bad it’d have been. And as we lead the global response at the time (imagine us doing that now?) it would’ve meant the world economy would likely have been in the toilet.

Market is funny right now. Talking to my mortgage broker the other week and they were saying the lenders expect a crash and are tightening up lending guidelines expecting more equity to cover this crash. Doesn’t help you as you’re buying and selling in the same market not looking to invest (or...

Good to hear. Will drop you some cash. Got burned once when I found out I’d paid for someone’s trip to China (!?) out of donations.

What are they doing exactly? All I’ve seen is 0.2% capital spending (ten times less than similar countries), maybe a £500 voucher (decent idea), and a u-turn on the cancellation of Gordon Browns home improvement program.

Yeah I am high functioning and one of my bug bears is the condescending way all autistic people are treated as if they’re low functioning and in need of protection as special snowflakes TBH. Many many autistic people are great and robust. My partner is also on the spectrum and her brother is far...

The regeneration comes from the fact that were there was a wasteland with huge cleanup costs not being used for anything there is now housing and employment. If you want to rail against supermarkets pushing out the little man go ahead but not sure what it’s got to do with this topic. And no...

Really? SBD posts some reasonable disagreement with the idea Sisu should’ve/could’ve bought the stadium, which goes against the groupthink on here that CCC are evil overlords hell bent of destroying CCFC by refusing to sell them the Ricoh and is met with around ten posters wading in accusing him...

I am shocked that a party ideologically convinced that the state can’t have positive impacts on the economy is failing to use the state effectively to positively impact the economy.

Because their money paid for the project. Rental income was never the driving force behind regeneration, that doesn’t even make sense unless you think the landlord would live in the local area. Whether it worked or not regeneration is about turning round bits of the city that are run down and...

Anyone who doesn’t post performative virtue signalling about how evil the council/Wasps are and how Sisu would’ve definitely bought the stadium despite repeatedly saying they wouldn’t.

Deluded.

Me sitting back watching someone else get a kicking for not towing the forum line:

Just to check, does all the money go to the charity or are we paying for you to have a free sky dive?

I’d have them all in for training and start friendlies ASAP TBH after 4 months off. Going to be a lot of rustiness. If we don’t get O’Hare it’ll be a shame but I think there’s lots available in his position including several in our squad already so it’s not the end of the world.

Evidence I’ve seen says masks work, Asian countries swear by them after experience with pandemics. Can’t see why they wouldn’t work.
