Weston Super Saint

They were when they started their special military operation.

Not when Russia invaded they didn't.

I don't think anyone has said they wouldn't be. Pretty much everyone has pointed out though that that situation would never occur. We would never be toe to toe with Russia on our own.

Is that the same country that has the 4th largest purchasing power parity, the country with the largest land mass in world rankings, also the country with the largest supply of natural resources in the world? That Russia? I wouldn't expect us to be able to 'take on' that amount of resources and natural power. I guess that's why we are part of NATO? It's the same Russia that failed to overturn lowly Ukraine though, before they started to get International support. Pitifully embarrasing.

But the UK wouldn't get any support from the West if Russia were to invade, so would have to deal with Russia alone, with our 'pitiful' military? We are part of NATO. Our military is part of NATO. Pretending we are a standalone nation with a standalone military force is deliberately misleading. Ukraine isn't part of NATO, yet has had 'defense' support from the West which has stopped Russia in its tracks. Russia thought it could breeze in to Ukraine, take control of Kiev and move on with life. They didn't, they were stopped embarrasingly short - way before defense support was supplied by the West.

And yet, somehow, Ukraine has survived with even less military resources. The Russian army still isn't in Kiev which it was going to take in what, two weeks? Embarrasing for Russia.

All right to work online documents include a photo. They don't need their number on them as they can get it by logging in. I assume immigration would have access without needing the code. But the simple answer is, anyone who doesn't prove their right to work (which they can do very easily) can be arrested for further investigation. Still don't see how ID cards solve the same issue - "sorry forgot my card, it's at home", "dog ate it" etc.

When you're in the PL you have to pay PL wages and transfer fees. Soon eats up the PL money.

If it is a foreign worker they need to log into their online account and provide a 9 digit reference number. That number can be checked in seconds on the Govt website which will show a picture of the person and their right to work status. Their employer must keep a copy of that check on file and produce it if asked. You can literally check the whole barber shop in 5 minutes.

One day.

It'll be us that have to pay for them, despite getting zero benefit out of them. We already have the ability to check everyone's right to work.

Scienza and Jander are where the money is. The club will think he's done a great job when those assets are sold. That's all that matters.

Is Downes fucking useless and cannot kick a ball let alone pass to one of our own team? If not, it's way off!

Well, one of them anyway. The other has been dead since 2021. RIP.

Aribo and Edozie?
