Have a read of this, it may help.
What it is trying to show here is the basis of a rating, relative to the team which has been put out, relative to the oppositions' strength in a league.

My apologies, I thought your charts didn’t make any sense, turns out all I had to do was read 49 pages of a study into chess analytics to figure it out. Great stuff.

I take it you are on a pc or phone at the moment. Have you read the manufacturing diagrams to know how your machine works, or just take it for granted it works?
It's a good system, which can show the progress of ability accurately through seasons.
I don't really wish to comment on individual ratings because, in all honestly, it is not my place to do so. I have noticed it hasn't stopped others doing this.
It's all very experimental. I do believe as the team gets stronger, hopefully, over the next few years, it will show in the charts. It is a long-term thing I'm trying to do.
One thing that needs to remembered though is that ratings are based on a number of things rather than solely on the player's attributes.
I hope this helps you out in some way.

Ah yes. Because what we need right now is a leader with more spontaneity. Not planned and calculated.

Always keen to show off their brass neck Downing St have criticised the RMT for being ‘selfish’ by calling strike action later in the month. Yes the people who brazenly broke their own laws while others got forced not to console people at funerals are calling others selfish.

There are two threads but he basically says yes yougov did and had significant pressure from Tory MPs / ministers.
I think this country is utterly fucked in the long term, it's being utterly pilloried by these highwaymen and because a few over 50s think their house is valuable they keep voting for them.

I've got this on in the background, I often have stuff like that on as background noise, but this caught my attention.
Head of Borders & Immigration for 14 months and not once has he met Patel. 6 meetings scheduled, 6 meetings cancelled by Patel. He doesn't sound happy at all says things are being told to the press before anyone else and that is creating uncertainly and terrible morale.
Says he will break an agreement with the Home Office not to public reports if they keep sitting on them. Would normally be released at most 8 weeks after they've been submitted to the Home Office but there's some that have been sat on for over 4 months. He's saying he will put them out on social media if they aren't released.
Also mentioned the Home Office is impossible to deal with as they're always in crisis mode and never have time to deal with the actual job they should be doing.
Same as Johnson skipping a load of Covid COBRA meetings.
They can't be arsed to do any work and aren't remotely interested in doing anything to better the country.

Interesting article, fairly spot on but then it does agree with my priors.

Time and again the Tories are wrong about the NHS. It actually needs more managers
Doctors and nurses are being forced to spend hours doing managerial and admin work, time that could be better spent doing actual doctoring and nursing

Presumably if it was 'just a joke' there will be a believable explanation for why the already written article on the debate poll that showed Corbyn won by a country mile, and one in four Tory voters thought he was best was never published and why polling methodologies were changed to favour the tories.

I recall getting up in the morning, turning on the radio and finding we'd left. Down the newsagent, some of the papers jumped the gun and said we were still in lol.
Even Nigel had given up at one point I think.
Exit polls have been pretty accurate over the last few years, but pre-polls I wouldn't take as gospel.

Allegedly Nigel kept pretending that leave had lost having seen the exit polls saying the opposite so his mate could make a fortune betting against the pound. Such a patriot.

What a swine. Well the stock markets slipped up there then. Fancy listening to one person. Never know Farage carried so much infuence, thought he was seen as a laughing stock.
I guess the broadsheets should have watched the exit polls and not Nigel too, if that's the case.

I don’t think he was alone in that to be fair. There seemed to be a lot of leavers that did well betting against the pound. Men of the people.

Imposter on GMK
Just noticed I have an imposter on GMK. Sounds like a smear campaign against my good name as I can currently only find the one post and it has racial undertones, strange that as I have been attacked on here by some GMK faithful for pointing out casual racism on GMK threads. Still imitation is a...

It does, I'm working with a trust trying to buy a haemodialysis managed service (new equipment and ongoing maintenance) but without having a single individual solely designated to the project, it is so difficult.Interesting article, fairly spot on but then it does agree with my priors.

Hospitals are huge complex organisations and the notion that doctors and nurses can run them is for the birds.

How did they have a picture of David Cameron’s resignation speech before it happened?

Those are the Saturday papers. I found the Friday ones in the end: https://www.thepaperboy.com/uk/2016/06/24/front-pages-archive.cfm
The Mirror front page is about as close to ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ as you can get!

Of course the Tory boys going on about train driver salaries have ignored that they haven’t actually been balloted.
