Not sure that’s remotely true. If you take the US out of the equation our public spending as a percentage of GDP is below the majority of the western world, especially Europe. Same for debt as a percentage of GDP including the US this time.

The first thing is they haven’t rescinded every Syrian refugee status. I think it equates to about 100. The reason is because the part of Syria they’re from Denmark has deemed safe to return too. As we have in some cases. It may also be the case that Denmark hasn’t had a government who created...

So like I said, not that different to ours. Thanks for the link confirming that.

It’s got more to do with the good standard of work life balance that Denmark is famous for and a functioning NHS. Their approach to immigration is no different to ours really, in fact they’ve just passed a new act in parliament to make it easier for immigrants to work by rescinding the need for...

Depression and anxiety are very real illnesses, I can tell you that from personal experience. To belittle it is very ignorant. It’s not even the biggest cause of long term sickness. The main reason is a lack of treatment for preventable illnesses. The tories wrecking the NHS plays a big part in...

You keep banging on about 2.8 million long term sick with zero context. To give it some context at any given time in the UK something like 3 million people have cancer and that figure is rising. The majority of which will be of working age. That’s just one serious illness that is a genuine...

TBF you’re making a lazy argument. Per capita or by land mass China and India are far from the worst polluters. That’s not even why your argument is lazy though. It’s lazy because it ignores that the West exports its co2 emissions to China and India for that matter. They are the world’s...

Even I have to admit it feels different this time. Never doubted Robins would not turn it around when we’ve had slow starts/slumps previously. I think Robins time might be at an end sadly. I don’t accept it’s all on Robins though, King has to shoulder his share of the blame too. I suspect...

I’ve also seen it suggested that Rufo used the same image a number of years ago claiming Africans were eating your pets and it was debunked then. A proper journalist found the source of the original photo and it apparently was someone’s facebook page posting how they could bbq 4 chickens at once...

Apart from Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and Pakistan. Didn’t he famously break US bombing records too? I remember reading an article early in his presidency that the US dropped 7500 bombs in one day. For the purpose of equivalence Obama’s record was something 1500 in one day. IIRC he then went on...

You should probably have let that sink in.

God your life must be empty. Have you considered finding a hobby? Train spotting sounds ideal for you. You clearly enjoy putting yourself in a situation hoping for something to happen so you can tick something off in your book. Not much difference to what you do by stalking me but at least...

I think he had an operation the day after the season ended. He’s back playing but that may have also played a part in him not moving, at least so far this window. Still can’t see a move happening though until next summer.

What a surprise - I post in agreement with someone and you jump straight on my post for the sake of jumping on my post and evident by you ignoring the original post. What a pathetic little man you are.

Various outlets (none of note though from what I can see) are still linking him to Arsenal and less so Liverpool but Sporting have said he’s going nowhere. They’ve already kicked off their season and Vik scored in the opener. Can’t rule a move out but it looks unlikely in this window.

I really think we completely misunderstood the importance and pivotal roll mental health services play in society. Ultimately it was the NHS, police and prison services that have had to pick up the pieces. All of which was on the end of cuts if not in actual terms certainly in real terms...

TFF half time.

I was talking to a Luton fan I know earlier and he fancies us for autos. Personally I fancy Luton for autos. What we both agreed on was not expecting much from Sheffield Utd with the way they came down without much fight. I think Burnley might have a relegation hangover too. I think Leeds...

Had to be. Such an obvious choice and best choice.
