  1. I think it's fair to say that whatever the situation we are in our worst position both financially and on the pitch since promotion. Worrying.
  2. So Kat has basically loaded us with 210 million pounds of debt. What a way to treat her father's legacy. May be trouble ahead.
  3. Well I'm not sure how a wage rise in the caring professions would work given its either funded by the government who certainly wouldn't be paying more or by parents and guardians of either elderly people or children. My extensive experience in that area tells me there would be a giant outcry from these two groups if they were asked to pay more even if it were made clear it was for a wage rise. Typically, the bosses in these care companies would love to pay more to all their stuff but they simply wouldn't be financially viable.
  4. You would think so but the impression from the club over the past two seasons is they have been less invested on what is going on with the first team and have focused a lot on side projects. I don't think this will have an impact but it could be another example of this.
  5. Well if the issue is that people who work on the tills should be paid for their work then maybe there is a case for that but as you say neither of us know the specifics. It's certainly not anything to do with gender. As long as the opportunity is there for women to work in the warehouse for the same amount as other warehouse workers then I don't see any problem, just as there is no problem if a man chooses to accept the lower paid position working on the tills- as many do. Forcing supermarkets to pay till workers more money simply because more women have freely decided to work on tills is not the right thing to do.
  6. It'd fine asong as it's kept separate from the men's team and no focus is taken from the men. It's essentially a different sport anyway.
  7. I don't think anyone has suggested that religions will disappear, which is why the best strategy is to call for an Islamic reformation similar to one's that other religions went through ages ago. The problem as I stated earlier is that there is great opposition to Muslim reformists from their fellow Muslims. Reformists need to be supported and extremists elements need to be vocally opposed by wider secular society but also from within the religion itself. To pretend that the extremist elements have "nothing to do with Islam" is entirely false and a number of Muslims would laugh at such an incorrect statement
  8. Well that's a separate issue isn't it. If women are actively being prevented from accessing warehouse jobs then I agree there is a problem there and it's illegal.
  9. Probably much easier to deflect rather than actually answer questions of that nature. Everyone knows England has no problem with racism in comparison to Russia. Comparing the two is utterly absurd.
  10. Hmm. Very debatable that this has been the priority over the last couple of years. “The performance of the team always remains our ultimate focus, and through continuing to strengthen our financial position we give ourselves the best opportunity of driving improvement on the pitch
  11. Don't give a f*ck about either under armour or some stupid satellite academies abroad. It's all this stuff and taking our eyes off what actually matters that has got us into this mess.
  12. Which time?
  13. Exactly. As long as there is equality of opportunity then that's all that matters. Equality of outcome is not only impossible to achieve without forcing people to do jobs they don't want to do, it's also incredibly retarded.
  14. Never want to hear from him again. He's barely tolerable when we are doing well but even worse when we are in the sh*t. Awful.
  15. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and sadoldgit.
  16. Indeed van hanegem. Extremely telling that many who have fled some of these countries like Syria are incredibly supportive of Wilders. I think he's a hit too strong if we want to fix the problems and bring Muslim reformers on board, but it's still very interesting: https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/03/syrian-refugees-support-geert-wilders-because-he-understands-the-dangers-of-islam/ A Christian refugee from Turkey says he’s not surprised by the Freedom Party’s popularity. Abraham Beth Arsan says: “Syrian-Orthodox Christians fled from the Islamic world. We fled because our faith was forbidden. We’ve always been oppressed.”
  17. Staggering incompetence shown by the British authorities regarding the failed tube bomb from last year: ‘As part of his questioning by the Home Office in Croydon in January 2016, Hassan was asked: “Have you previously or are you part of a terrorist group, for example Isis?” According to notes taken by a worker at the hostel, who attended the interview, Hassan replied: “Yes, I was recruited by Isis for three months. They trained us on how to kill and it was all religious based.” Asked how he got away, Hassan said: “Iraqi soldiers came into the Isis territory and told everyone to go and some of the children stayed, some died and some went back to their families.” When he was asked if Isis sent him to Europe to work for them, Hassan said: “No.” Instead of getting Hassan out of the country ASAP, the UK continued to do everything it could for him, including finding him a school place and placing him with a foster family to whom*they*forgot to mention the Isis stuff. Absolutely unbelievable.
  18. If it were up to you you'd probably still have pellegrino in charge now.
  19. If only they could pin something concrete on the BBC. That would show the sheeple that Jeremy is the prime minister in waiting that we all know he is in reality rather than the lame, indecisive anti-West hard left socialist that the evil media portray him as.
  20. Turns out that was an absolute load of horse manure too https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-did-the-bbc-edit-a-photo-of-jeremy-corbyn-to-make-him-look-close-to-russia
  21. Agreed. Not sure why anyone would be overly upset by it.
  22. There's definitely a fantasist and a social justice warrior. Not to mention a virtue signaller and a patroniser. Not so sure about racists, particularly because extremist ideologies can be practiced by any race of people.
  23. I think the article itself highlights why it was a poor thing to say at the time: Most within his party were able to put aside party politics on a matter of this seriousness and back the Prime Minister. Corbyn seemed unable to do so until he realised that he had to sort of get on board so he doesn't look like he is just anti- West again and now we have some sort of mixed message fudge (like we do with most Labour issues nowadays) where you have the shadow chancellor now deciding that they do back the Prime Minister after all. He displays absolutely woeful leadership and lets remember he is part of the privvy council and would have been party to undisclosed evidence that was seemingly enough for others in the labour Party leadership.
  24. Pretty sure it's only if you win?
  25. Not sure I'll have a chance to get one this season as I've mostly been to games using a mates season ticket. If anyone can't make it then let me know as I'm keen to get a ticket for me and a mate.
