  1. I consider myself pretty clued up on politics and government, but would say I still wasn't sufficiently knowledgable on EU to cast a meaningfull vote on the UK's membership. So if you think 67% of voters knew what leaving EU would mean to the UK, you are living in cloud cuckoo land🤣🤣
  2. Clearly the club can force season ticket holders, as I indicated That does not mean though that it does not give the club a problem. Also your wish to stand should not trump others wish to remain viewing games with people they have shared the experience for over 20 years. The decision for me should be based purely on safety grounds not on the wishes of a small minority who just want to stand.
  3. Its not the physical implementation, beyond cost, that is preventing this happening. Rather the headache it gives to the club in moving season ticket holders who neither wish to move or be forced to stand, as well as the security concerns Personally feel it should be done regardless on safety grounds, if nothing else, but do understand the clubs reluctance.
  4. Simpy yes, doubt this will go past 610 pts given that there will be large numbers who have yet to bag this one. No point in giving false hope to those who have no chance.
  5. No, they just have to have an account with the club.
  6. No
  7. Where did you see it published, these are the official figures https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/median-teacher-pay-using-teacher-pension-scheme-data/2023-24
  8. I look forward to joining your campaign for workers rights across the private sector.
  9. I rhink you'll find the vast majority don't want to go back inside, that does not mean that they won't. Most don't have the tools to avoid it.
  10. Poor management of the unit, insufficient funding, coincidence, negligence or a combination of those. I don't know whether LL killed all or any of those babies, but from what I have read all the evidence against her was circumstantial at best and not sufficiently tested by the defence.
  11. Sorry to go against the narative, but my Smart meter fitted some 3 years ago works perfectly sending meter readings to Octopus every half an hour. As a result I am savings hundreds a year by taking advantage of smart tarrifs. If all the other pensioners were to do the same most wouldn't miss the WFA😉
  12. Given that non of the autopsy's on these babies identified any evidence of foul play, it would seem to me that there could be a different exclamation for their premature deaths.
  13. Slim pickings, I'd say desperate
  14. That is exactly what both the last Government was proposing to do and this Government are continuing to back that plan.
  15. Ye, but he made up a good excuse, Johnson would be proud.😉
  16. You expect the country to work better over time and it was certainly in a better state than it was in 1997. Can you identify any area of life in the UK that is better now than it was in 2010.
  17. Agree with this completly, we need a completly honest debate on tax and spend in this country. For years the General Public have been given the idea that we can have Scandinavian levels of Public Services with US rates of taxation. This is clearly cannot the case but that is what the right wing press have been selling this through theiralmost daily knocking of public servants and the highlighting of relatively small amounts of waste that happens in any organisation. Though what I would realy like to see is the overall simplification of the tax system there are far too many allowances that only the very rich can use to lower there liabilities. This would go a long way to ensuring the rich paid there far share and would in my view have a minimal effect on the other 95%. With all this Government needs to do I suspect this is on the too hard (politically) to do list.
  18. Certainly not the type of right winger I thought earlier but a right winger never the less if they are a member if the group claiming responsibility.
  19. The energy price cap was significantly higher in Aug 22 than now and was predicted to be nearly double this winters cap in Oct 22. The world moves on, I suggest you join it.
  20. Given that this was a event to celebrate diversity seems much more likely to be a far right terrorist, but then that doesnt follow your narrative does it. Perhaps you should have waitedto see before offering an ill informed guess.
  21. The Chart shows the average salary increase on a constant price basis i.e. after inflation is taken into account. You can debate how that figure is made up but what we should be asking is why it is so lagging so far behind other simlar economies.

    UK Riots

    So still no rational explanation of why your life would be improved knowing child law breakers will be named. No one here is saying anyone should not face the consequences of their actions. Many of us simply believe naming them helps no one and may have consequences for us all, as it results in some having more difficulty in leaving behind their criminal record. If that makes me woke, a do gooder, whatever, then so be it.

    UK Riots

    I never fully understand why the not naming of chidren or anyone for that matter that committs a criminal offence causes so much angst amongst the general public. Those close to the crime and those living in the immediate vacinity will almost certainly know anyway and as others have already said what material difference does it make to anyone else. Would be truely interested in peoples thought processes on this subject.
  24. Obsolutely and why on earth not, my only concern would be racist thugs attacking them.
