    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    This is definitely true. Very hard to work in France and much of Europe without an ID card and lots of paperwork... If we regulated our labour market it would reduce the pull of working in the UK. Some decent enforcement would also help...

    [Albion] Jakub Moder - joins Feynoord on permanent deal 20/1/2025

    Ayari has looked good for us. 2 games, he has had a goal disallowed and then a sublime pass to assist the assist against man u. I'm hoping moder will benefit from a proper pre season and be back to his best...

    [Misc] DYSLEXIA - NEURODIVERSITY

    My wife is an experienced teacher who trained as a SENCO when we had kids and is now also a dyslexia assessor and neurodiversity coach helping people in the work place. It's really good to see support out there for people and a recognition that filling an organisation with people who all think...

    [Music] Taylor Swift at Wembley?

    Fully agree. Exile may be my favourite song. And as a fan of the National and Bon Iver the work they have all done together is fantastic

    [Music] Taylor Swift at Wembley?

    Managed to get 4 VIP Lover tickets for August. Taking 2 of my daughters... giving them the tickets for Christmas was wonderful...our family have grown up listening to her music, it has soundtracked our long drives and holidas...I cannot wait to see the joy on their faces. May sell some of the...

    [Politics] Votes for 16 year olds

    I think it is a good idea. It's not just 16 year olds after all, it's all those between 16 and 18 who should be more politically engaged. As things stand someone who is 17 years 300 days + of age may not be able to vote for the first time until they are well over 22 with 5 year fixed term...

    Surely Potter is an option?

    [Football] "Embarrassing, it’s an absolute disgrace"

    Exactly this. Like rugby. The on field ref is in charge, ideally with a headset on and communicates with the VAR. All decision making should be made at the pitch side monitor, with the VAR sending the images to the ref to decide whether to change their decision. Rugby is a far harder game to...

    [Politics] Dear Rishi Sunak...

    They aren't needed in streets. Fast charging is needed at petrol station like facilities - we don't see people hoarding petrol at home to top up their car every evening

    [Politics] Dear Rishi Sunak...

    No, but that's the point. It has to be, so rather than not doing it we should just do it. It's not overly difficult to get the infrastructure needed in place. I guess there are 2 mentalities. Embrace the change we need to make and grasp the benefits. Or fight to retain the world as it is, make...

    "Electricity demand reached a record low in 2022 of 320.7 TWh, down by 3.8 per cent from 2021. Electricity demand has declined year-on-year since 2015, apart from a slight increase between 2020 and 2021 with as demand recovered from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic."...

    [Politics] Dear Rishi Sunak...

    They will have an agreed connection with UKPN, it just wont be in place yet as network reinforcement will be undertaken. There has been a significant role out in EV charging, including at existing garages and this should have (and needs to be) improved to compare with elsewhere. ..im sure there...
