Yes if your only aim is to reduce raw numbers. If that's the game then why not pay pay them £1 million each and increase the likelihood of them not coming?

The tax rises were small in relation to how much they are predicted to raise. They aren't small to the individuals that they affect. Your second point is undeniable although Labour must take their share of culpability although at least they didn't pretend to do one thing whilst doing the exact opposite.

Not sure about anyone else but I thought we handled the relegation summer really well and Wilcox in particular made us seem like a serious club again. Just nonsensical to basically shrug our shoulders when he left and do nothing to replace him.

If you listen to Adam Blackmore it sounds very much like they made up their mind a month ago and are looking for a replacement quickly. That's probably because they want to avoid what you suggest.

Gerrard?

I was under the impression that relegation last time out was when we were supposed to have the refresh and a new direction. We appointed a DOF and then never replaced him which is frankly just weird.

Yeah he will. Someone will snap him up in the championship. Not a chance is he getting a bigger club than saints though.

No it's original Bournemouth Saint and deppo.

Listening to Adam Blackmore and reading between the lines it sounds very much like he knows he's going.

No idea if this is true or not but it did feel like something changed today. It wouldn't surprise me if we do finally make a switch.

Ultimately losing face in Syria is the lesser of two evils. They are still advancing in Ukraine. The last thing they are going to do is make major concessions to end the war. It will end eventually but imo it will involve Ukraine having to give up more than they would like.

Is that what has happened? Or is it that they are engaged elsewhere and have made a tactical decision not to get involved given they are stretched?

Doubt they will care if they are winning the war.

Anyone know if what comes afterwards is better? Or worse?

I'm hoping there's more context to this because on the face of it this sounds batshit insane.

I don't disagree. Continues to be a shame that we can't get any fresh ideas in our electoral system.

Not sure about that. Aribo has been alright and Lavia was superb business.

Unlike you I've actually listened to it.

Lol. None so blind as those who cannot see. I suggest you steer clear of anything from the Oxford Union or indeed debates in general, lest you encounter an opposing argument.

It's literally one side of the argument from the Oxford Union. I'd post the link to both side of the argument and suggest you watch that video, except that the Oxford Union edited parts out so it's not a true reflection of the argument. I'd still suggest you watch it and grapple with what is being said but as you've already said you won't I suspect that's a futile effort which is a shame really.

If I attend or consume content from the Oxford Union then yes. That's the reason for it's existence. Where did I claim the view in the video was unbiased? Like the speaker himself says, it's one side of an argument. He's also correct.

Everyone with an interest in the conflict should listen to this. If you ignore the disgraceful people who can't listen to people talk who they disagree with, this speaker is 100% correct. https://x.com/jonsac/status/1865355843740344393?t=kY-UmxHcbZcHROTeXBuaNQ&s=19

Arguably thays why Labour got in this time as the only viable alternative. Will be interesting to see if Reform can make themselves credible enough for people to view them as the alternative over the Conservatives.

Plus if Starmer fails then why would anyone want to vote Labour or Conservative? It's hardly a surprise if people turn to an alternative in that scenario.

He fucked off for a couple of weeks after the whole paedo apologist stuff. This site was miles better.
