Don’t think Boris is in quite as much immediate danger as everyone else seems to be suggesting. He still has a big majority in parliament, so there’s no chance of any election coming soon. And with the economic situation only likely to deteriorate further over the next few months, I can see the...

None of the players you’ve mentioned seem likely to make an impact on the first team, but we have a pretty good record of bringing through players from the development squad in the last few years, and that’s with the added headwind of us moving up the leagues at the same time. To have bought...

……what the fuck?

There are loads of keepers in this division who were free transfers. It’s probably the cheapest and easiest position to replace, which is probably why I can imagine us selling Moore if someone wants to give us a quick profit.

Lesley Duru - is it true?

How many protesters were they expecting that day? It was one of the worst days of June weather I can remember!

I can’t imagine American police officers doing…..actually nevermind

He likely doesn’t see it as his domain or wheelhouse - like Grendel says, he probably thinks a political reporter should pick it up - and it’s not in his career interests to try. As I said at the start, he’ll look like an idiot if he doesn’t get on the story it subsequently blows up.

Just £2 a month can help me buy a new electric kettle in time for Christmas, guys.

You’re right. It would be a massive benefit to the community if local papers had proper funding and staffing, to cover stories that actually mattered. Instead people seem to want them to disappear entirely.

If the story gathers momentum then I’m sure the CT will find a warm body to write it up, that’s true. I’m just glad people are back to caring about local journalism again!

I was on a train a while back and that Francis Bourgeois guy was on the platform when it stopped. The kids sat down the carriage from me were going fucking ballistic, it was like they’d seen the Pope.

As I said earlier - there is only one Wasps reporter and I honestly think it’s beyond his abilities. Even if I’m wrong, it’s not a story he wants to write, nor one his (tiny) audience wants to read.

That last kid’s video has more than one million likes on TikTok - he’s probably doing fine for mates at school.

I doubt they do, but they’re committed to covering the team now (the sponsorship money clearly helped with this decision), so they have to print something, and it may as well be spoonfed puff pieces that don’t require any significant work on their part. Not going to win any Pulitzers any time...

Do you think he’ll get more work or less work with them in future if his primary beat disappears? Yeah, I’m referring more to the people who claim something explicitly “dodgy” is going on. I think it’s more shoddy and craven than outright corrupt.

It’s tragic - I bet most of the clicks for that story today will come from this forum. If Bobby Bridge decides to make a big deal out of this bond repayment stuff, he not only has to find a copy of Finance For Dummies and spend a couple of days reading it, he also has to start undermining the...

Because as I say, they can’t be bothered to try and understand the story themselves, and the lack of interest around Wasps doesn’t offer them enough of an incentive to start. It’s undeniably lazy and will make them look stupid if it snowballs into something bigger. The only journalist covering...

Pretty pathetic from Turner. Bobby Bridge appears to be your classic client journalist, sad more than anything. I’m inclined to agree that rather there being some grand company-wide conspiracy to bury the story, the CET simply doesn’t think its readers care enough about Wasps to bother trying...

It’s just students doing a zany in-joke about something deliberately random and banal, no need to overthink this one guys.
