    Well that would be if you think the only legislation that can be passed is tax-based, and you can't make changes to affect behaviour to result in a fairer distribution of income. And we always get this 10% of people make up 60% of the tax receipts. Failing to mention that those 10% get over 75%...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Oh, I know ours is a mess too, and needs change. But at least we're voting for representatives for our area, rather than a PM specifically even though in practice is probably is that. Theirs is literally voting for an individual for a specific position so no need for all the bollocks...

    Cosmetic stuff like decorating yeah but be careful with plumbing and electrics. If you don't get it inspected and you aren't qualified you invalidate insurance if you have a leak/fire. And if you've got to pay for it to be inspected you may as well just pay a tradesperson. Don't forget nowadays...

    Well, no. If the pie increases by 5% but a tiny proportion of people are taking an extra 10% of pie, the majority of people get less pie. Whereas if you have the same size pie and divide it more equally, a small amount of people have less pie (but still a lot of pie) whilst the majority of...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    The electoral college is just madness. A candidate could win by a few thousand votes and end up getting a huge chunk of electoral college votes as most don' split them. It's a mockery of democracy. Just do it by popular vote.

    With the set-up of the electoral college and the entrenched positions of each side there is no-one that would 'walk it'.

    Ah yes, the old 'young people waste their money so can't afford a house' trope. Because most of us didn't have to clear a house of tons of crap that their parents/grandparents bought at a time they supposedly had no money and were putting everything towards the mortgage... And they never spent...

    Small businesses the owners also tend to do the work, so got far less of a problem with that. They also tend to pay their tax, whereas those with large portfolios etc. tend to employ people to ensure they don't.

    What the fuck are you on about? Clearly I'm talking about shareholders, who receive by far the biggest benefits from profits yet do the least for it.

    Has it slipped, or do they know that most of his voters won't care one bit? They could literally tell each one individually that Trump was going to murder their families and they'd still vote for him. As long as it keeps those 'lying' 'commie' left wing bastards out then that's all that...

    Yet despite this many people who have significant shareholdings are making a mint. How are they doing this if businesses can't afford it? They can afford it, just our fucked up system has been programmed to think giving it to a small number of people who do fuck all is better than giving it to...

    I mean with opposition preparations as we'd not used him there before. Now it's something they might consider and whether if they can keep him defending it will expose potential weaknesses he has in that position.

    But then those that radicalised him must have been radicalised by someone themselves at some point. And those people had also been radicalised and so on.

    Yeah. When the likes of Tavares and bassette play, they score for fun. When they don't they lose badly. Which tells us that they're not anywhere near ready for the first team.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 26th Oct

    If we look at all the forwards, they're probably better running at defenders. Even Simms with his physique can't trap a ball. So maybe we should play more like that, playing in behind a defence rather than AAATB. Maybe it'd force opposition to defend a bit deeper and we get a bit more space to...
