If you take into account the tax income from North Sea oil and gas, the duty on selling it as fuel, the income tax and NI from all those employed etc, it might well have put so much into the treasury that is effectively did.

No, they cannot charge us for last year after today

Yessss!!! Brilliant third set Katie through to the second round!

if we dont have it we dont have it.

Sentient puddles are certainly an alarming prospect. I wonder if we would necessarily even recognize the form life might take elsewhere in the universe.

Don't tell the Ayew haters that.

I think it is because class players don't need to join a basket case of a club in a relegation battle, and if they did we would end up paying stupid wages next year in the Championship.

Zero chance Newcastle let him go, they need the depth if they are going to progress.

Welcome to Brentford Matt.

If you use a machine exactly in line with the manufacturer's maintenance schedule (which has already been proven in the investigation), and a part which was not yet due for inspection let alone replacement fails resulting in a fatal accident, then I think they have a case. The value of potential compensation is a separate legal point, i.e. does it have anything to do with the manufacturer how rich you are and should that impact the compensation level.

At some point we have to get lucky with a striker.

I hope it all goes as well as can be under the circumstances and is a lovely celebration of your Mum's life.

They are performing well no doubt. but I think we are a few seasons away from saying they sustained it. I am sure a number of these clubs have learned from our lesson of not overpaying players though.

They haven't sustained it yet though have they? Wait and see.

Its based on a three-season period, and each year one year drops off and the next is added, so each year there is an assessment. They have changed the rules this season so they have to tell you within the season if you failed for the three years to the season before, so this season we can be charged twice.

Lets not go too mad, I have seen them given but Muzzy went down very easy for the first two, and then was never going to get the third after that.

Parker red V Atletico UEFA Cup Absolutely, still angry.

California is probably the state that least needs a wake up call I should think. Still very sad for those impacted by the fire.

Fleshing it out is one thing, but I think the messaging that they are now in the planning phase for large chunks of their agenda is a poor message.

I guess the criticism is why did they not PLAN before they got elected? 14 years to come up with good policy. Are they now starting again? Its a pretty poor message imo.

The current Labour government is what happens when you vote against something instead of for something - you are not quite sure what you expect. It is though also what happens after 14 years out of power. Labour forgot how the levers work and it takes a year or two to work it out and be effective. Too early to judge whether they use them wisely or not.

I would hope Trump would be overturned in a coup before his military would invade the UK. If not then send in the SAS.

Profit from what business though?

How does having nationalist ethnostates (even if it were possible) help Musk do business? Seems like nonsense to me. I think he simply likes the power of ****ing with governments.

Lets hope not.
