I expect getting d!cked 3-0 by Liverpool might explain the impression of him not being happy.

It makes sense to me, I've never got the argument that higher taxes is a disincentive to do well, you still earn more the better you do whatever the rate is. If you are that greedy that you object to paying tax then every little extra you earn after tax will be an incentive. Also the idea that loads of people will move abroad if the tax rate is high is a bit fanciful, I know plenty of people in the top tax bracket and there is no way they would move abroad in a million years, their friends, family and whole life is in this country. Of course some in the city may but there can be other incentives to be here, plus these c*nts usually run rings around tax laws anyway.

It would make sense to have two types of prisons, one that is geared up to reforming crims that are going to be released and one where we just throw away the key and keep them there for life as cheaply as possible. We should make the whole life sentence apply to more people, not just murderers but other serial criminals who are beyond hope.

Great news for Shaw but I still think Ashley Cole will get the nod for Brazil. Good management by Hodgson though, give the boy a chance to impress and give Cole a wake up call at the same time.

Only Southampton council would spend £1.7million, make things less safe and end up with more ****ing traffic lights. You need rocks in you head to want to cycle into Southampton during rush hour, way too many idiot drivers on the road. If anything they should be discouraging people from cycling, sorting one junction out would no achieve anything anyway. More cyclists = more deaths on the road, it's that simple.

Even if they get fed and clothed, and probably get a playstaion or Sky TV - it would still be thoroughly depressing knowing that you will never be free again. Money well spent IMO. However I still think there should be special prisons for people like this that are designed to be uncomfortable and include hard labour - I would gladly pay extra tax for that.

This. For all the talk of the state of English football and how we need to change everything from the grass roots up - fact is if Bale was born a bit further east then England would have a team capable of winning the World Cup.

They can sleep at night because they are an essential part of the justice system. I think the sentences for these two scumbags is about right, hopefully they will both die inside. There should be more whole life sentences handed out.

But for once in a lifetime events like what happened this winter surely it's more cost effective to just let the insurance deal with it when it happens again in 2097 or whenever? Of course if climate change means it will happen more frequently then it's worth the investment.

But floods have always happened, why spend billions on flood defences now unless you think it's going to get more frequent or severe? If it's purely down to natural cycles then it is just as likely to be less server weather from now onwards.

This Krueger thing is good news purely because it shows KL planning for the future. I doubt she will do a Rupert and try and crow-bar him into a football role, according to the BBC the majority of his work will be on the commercial side. It will be interesting to see what role he has and what changes he makes.

But what is the point of adapting to what has already happened? If climate change is just down to natural variations then temperatures could go up or down, sea level could go up or down, weather could get milder not more severe - what is the point of adapting when you don't know what you are adapting for? How could you possibly adapt anyway? Accepting man made climate change and choosing to adapt instead of fight it is a valid argument. Saying it doesn't exist but we should adapt is just a bullsh!t point of view.

But if it's due to natural variations and we don't have a clue what's around the corner how can we possibly adapt?

If it is just natural variations why the sudden need to "adapt"?

Tuesday 25th February 2014 and Turkish finally gets something right.

I didn't mean weather patterns, just climate change in general - what sort of proof are you waiting for?

What sort of conclusive proof are you waiting for that man is influencing the climate? We could have every year hotter than the next for the next century and you could still say it's due to cosmic rays or just natural variations. How do you expect a definitive conclusion?

They get that anyway, we foot the bill and the landlords rake it in.

The situation is screwed up, people can't get mortgages because the banks ****ed up so they are forced to rent - pushing rents up. The government need to heavily tax anyone with a second home IMO, making it less viable to rent out properties.

I doubt they would jump at the chance of hiring him though, unless he actually wins a trophy.

As long as he keeps his nose out of football affairs (unlike Woodward) I don't see a problem. Does it actually say anywhere what his role will be?

Going in with low expectations might actually help us. Greece didn't win the Euros by going into it thinking they were better footballers than everyone else. They accepted their limitations and played to their strengths - we need to do the same. Accept the fact that we are sh!t and try and grind out enough draws to see us through as far as possible. We've always had a pretty decent defence, just keep it tight and try and hit teams on the break. And practice penalties.

I see Connolly scored again today. That means since they have loaned him out he has scored the same amount as the entire portsmouth team.

I read "the way the West Ham have" as referring to their style of play. I accept their is a feint chance we could 'do a Greece' but history shows this is not very likely at a World Cup. I think we will go out at the group stage, it's the worst England squad I can remember.
