  1. Oh dear, this lie again. There is no evidence of this being true in anything beyond a marginal sense. Just racism.
  2. Meanwhile Economic growth is slowing, £ is down 7% since the Summer, inflation rising and the largest tax rises in history are coming in the spring. The one piece of good mews is the Covid restrictions and rising rates of infection mean the BoE are unlikely to raise interest rates just yet
  3. Are you confusing the Leader of the House (Rees-Mogg) whose job it is with the Speaker, whose job it isn't? As it happens Rees-Mogg announced it will be Thursday just after eleven. Bottled the plan on the basis that it would look worse than the beating Starmer will give Johnson on Wednesday
  4. Johnson is becoming such an electoral liability I am getting concerned that he might not last until the next GE. Don't want the shysters to get a bounce by giving him the boot, psrticularly a Truss boost.
  5. AV is not proprtional representation. First step would be to adopt subsidiarity and full devolution. The use an actual PR system to elect representatives at the appropriate levels. D'Hondt would be effective.
  6. https://twitter.com/jed_mercurio/status/1467855644149665795
  7. It is only Leavers who obsess about being in a majority, probably because that is the only rationale they have left. When the evidence largely now points the Brexit being twice as expensive as the pandemic, our fishing industry being devestated and NI doing very nicely thank you as a result of remaining in the Single Market most people have moved on to subjects related to how we dig the nation out of the mess that leaving the EU has left us in.
  8. No, not at all the same. We are on an unbeaten run of four games, we got a point and stopped a rival winning. It what universe is that the same
  9. We would have lost that under Farke, so a point gained. The details will be forgoton about at the end of the season which leaves a point away against a rival.
  10. What utter tosh, wrong in every aspect (except the handball of course)
  11. Shows what you know @Petriix 😉. Like you I didn't think we could make 433 work here with the players we had. I was different from you in that I didn't think playing without a 10 was an issue, I thought that without either two central midfielders or a third CB we were too soft centrally. Seems like we don't need the dual unicorns of a 10 or a CDM afterall, just a coach who knows what he is doing.
  12. Yes you did in a way that could be considered xenophobic, if not actually racist. The highlighted term is instructive, it implies that these kids could not speak English because parents, or "others" as you put it, who "came from abroad" could not be bothered to teach their "offspring" English. Now it may be a leap but I wouldn't mind betting that you cannot speak a second language, would it be reasonable for me to suggest that your parents couldn't be bothered? Equally I wonder on what objective measure your wife based the opinion that these kids were holding back the rest of the class. Or was she being subjective? Or could she not be bothered to actually teach?
