    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can't find any evidence that Corporation tax cuts either improved revenue or led to increased growth. Similarly, no official evidence I can find of capital flight, and no detailed overview of impacts on revenue. Do you have any links from independent analysis? My personal opinion is that this...

    Manchester Airport Incident

    You can believe whatever you need to mate. The rioters were trying to burn down hotels full of people, whereas these fuckwits were involved in the kind of incident that happens almost every Saturday night. It's not a conspiracy, and if some arseholes thought the airport incident was some kind...

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    Suspicious vehicle apparently. I'm going for it either being an Uber that isn't registered in Wolverhampton, or a fifteen year old red Corsa that is actually taxed and insured. 😁

    Manchester Airport Incident

    Gosh this is an easy one... The rioters were prosecuted quickly and firmly because there was thought to be a significant risk of wide scale disorder that the Government felt it needed to control. The airport incident doesn't represent the same level of threat to order, so is going through the...

    Match Thread Queens Park Rangers - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 22nd Oct

    Yeah, I thought we were looking reasonably tidy too. Starting to look confident, moving the ball quickly, but not offering much threat. Then one, crappy, bouncing shot and it all falls apart. At least we didn't lose.

    Given Simms already looks like he's playing in diving boots, I'm not sure he needs the sandbags. 😁

    In fairness to MVE, he's up against a pretty good player in Saito.... Buggery. Where did that goal come from?

    Pitch side microphones are picking up some tasty stuff. 😁

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    You don't get accepted into the football league, do you, let alone the second tier, just on the basis of your name.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Because that was the RFU's own rules... See London Scottish (now back in the Championship).

    The Joys of getting Older

    Maybe one of those F1style detachable ones, mate? 🙂 I used to have an MG Midget, and loved it. Not so long back, I pondered an MX-5, then I had a go in one and thought "blimey, this is really uncomfortable!". That and the fact I suspect I'd end up getting out of it by crawling on my hands...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    You've got to think that if Trump wins, Putin wins, and Ukraine falls. Moldova will probably be next. Israel gets free rein in Palestine with all of the horrors that entails. China might fancy a crack at Taiwan too, if it sees America retreating from the world. Domestically, and in Europe...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Can you really see Trump going quietly, once elected? He'd rather have a civil war than lose power. His support base doesn't care in the slightest that he's a rambling lunatic; there was literally one of his ground troops, a lady, on R4 just now. When the rambling, the forty minute swaying to...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Trump's already a puppet, there's no need to replace him, nor would his arrogance allow it, surely. He'd rather have a coup than leave the White House, we've seen that already...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Yep, and despite all of this, there's still a very good chance that he'll win, looking at the latest polls anyway. Proof, as if it were needed, that bullshit baffles brains. You've literally got blacks and Latinos voting for a racist, women voting for a misogynist who wants to take away their...

    Robins on CWR

    How many unsuccessful managers would we have to cycle through to find a successful one, is the question I'd ask here. The idea that swapping out a struggling manager for a new one, somehow magically resolves all your problems, simply isn't borne out by evidence. We've seen that both at this...

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    Not enough fight in the team. No tempo. We have twenty minutes of turning their defence around after half time, get them flapping, and then stop doing it. Immensely frustrating.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Read the article and look at the concerns that the charities directly involved in mental health have. Note also the distinct lack of evidence; where are the studies quoted, for example. And then join the dots with regard to Labour's approach to welfare, now and in its recent history, and ask...
