'...the size of the wealth ballon inflated.....' that is only true in the sense of increased creation of debt, which can be a good thing where it creates employment through business investment. But mostly it's held in assets (like property) that inflates the costs of those assets for other...

Sounds like quite a trauma, so maybe give yourself a bit of thinking time. A bit of break perhaps. Obviously, we don't know what exactly you've been through, but considering your old employer could have offered (or you maybe taken) retirement, the situation seems like less than ideal... Anyway...

What rot. While I support wider use of EVs, the widespread delusion that fossil fuel interests are negatively affected by sales of EVs may be one reason we're truly f|*&cked.... Two factors (at least): 1. the market share of ICE v EV sales is (almost entirely) irrelevant to volumes of fossil...

Overall, yes. But some luck too.... Including Palace equalising against Fulham in the 90th minute.

This from Dr Phil Hammond’s PE column: ‘ONE hallmark of the justice system is that you don't have to offer any defence - expert or otherwise - and it is entirely down to the prosecution to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Letby and her barrister Ben Myers KC did not call their single expert...

Not only was she probably not guilty - given no direct evidence, faulty statistical and suspect 'expert' testimony and a defence barrister that did not call their own expert witness - there was probably no actual murder or deliberate harm. All the babies deaths that were the subject of the...

Watching most of the game, my impression was Palmer looked dangerous but was crowded out of opportunities, while Moises looked pretty solid for a one man mid-field for initiating attacks and defensive actions. But I don't recall his passing, precise as it was, leading to much....(excepting the...

Some interesting comments from Peston in his Goalhanger Podcast Liz Truss book rewind economy crash special. Including: Trying to avoid political points on a money show, he says the long term hit to the UK economy and reputation was far worse than reported The best that can be said about the...

Well done to those admitting to learning or moving on from thinking racism was acceptable. Maybe social pressure was part of it but I do recall in old Division One days hearing chants, like, say, against Justin Fashanu of Norwich, and feeling ashamed at those around me, though though it was...

But I don't think the risk is that high so as to worry needlessly - and maybe the stats might show that... The difference is that we play expecting possession at the back so nearby team-mates are aware the ball could be lost so are in support, and the goal keeper is prepared. The panic comes...
