Well it’s not like they’re totally unaccountable - the government could decide tomorrow to replace the Governor if it wanted to. And there are other ways to keep public officials accountable beyond having the public vote them in, or making them all government wards. In the case of the BoE...

It acts as a brake to counteract rash and/or irresponsible government actions - what does a Truss-appointed BoE Governor do when the pension funds sector is about to keel over as a result of Truss' own budget? Does the UK economy manage the post-2016 referendum turbulence as well if Carney has...

"Millions of mosques" is the winner for me!

I really doubt many people outside of the UK would care. The tournament has really struggled to stay relevant in this country, and it's even harder to access outside the UK.

I mean, if you want my considered viewpoint I’d say it depends what you think the aims of the sanctions were. If the aim was to crash the Russian economy and/or effect regime change then they have clearly been unsuccessful. I assume you’d have been extremely opposed to those aims, which is just...

Well we’re surely doomed then

We need to recall EMC from Peterborough to play against Maidstone, it’s all hands on deck. No way we can beat them otherwise. Pay an extra £2 million if we have to.

I know I keep saying it but the amount of times that driving is mentioned in this thread makes me think having a car must have some kind of radicalising effect on you after a while.

He’s started six games in 2024 and has scored or assisted in all but two of them. Immense.

Would have thought it would be easy enough to put tickets on sale a day early for season ticket holders only. If you’re going to sell tickets by just making people stand in a big queue then surely you have the technical capability to ask for a season ticket/ticket stub at the point of sale? Or...

Immense run of form

The idea that he wasn’t capable of starting one game against Maidstone United was always ridiculous

Yeah he’s making me look stupid for trying to defend him as an option for England tbh
