  1. I'm not sure anyone was ever going to invade, save the US for the mining prospects. The Greenlanders will recognise that, but I suspect will be relieved there's been a compromise which hopefully doesn't impact their day to days lives.
  2. So what sectors are you referring to? Which sectors have you had direct dealings with, and what level? What are the actual issues you've experienced?
  3. You cannot make such a sweeping statement. You plainly have zero idea about the reality on the ground. I only have direct knowledge of the court system, and that has been chronically under funded and staffed for years. Pay more money, and they'd have even less staff and even more backlog and chaos. The staff, on the whole, are superb, and the issue is not too many people or poor talent. You'd do well to understand the reality rather than making sweeping comments.
  4. I think you're expecting a bit much. That's a bloody good bench for this level.
  5. The squad includes the options we've had all season, and we've scored 18 goals. Relax poppet.
  6. I know several ex players who are. Incredibly popular bloke.
  7. As I said, you'll go around in circles. I know the difference outlooks we have, and as much as I don't respect your political views, I respect that you can have them. I'll leave it there.
  8. I'm not going here with you given your Israel/Gaza stance mate.
  9. I won't carry on a discussion with you because you'll go round in circles, but I'll comment re lineker. He's a bloke with a moral compass. His opinion about Zionism isn't a complicated one, and anyone can and should have an opinion on that. What he had was the bollocks to voice it, unlike most. I'm not sure how you can conflate that with his stance on his tax - where he challenged a wrongly applied principle - and was proved correct. I see him as standing up for what's right, whereas you applaud people who stand up up for what's right for their pocket.
  10. I have no respect whatsoever for any person who abandons their country for selfish ends. Lineker I respect immensely. He's got a moral compass and a pair of bollocks.
  11. The issue with your posts is that you frame this as him joining an exodus, now, but that's not the case. He's a bloke who went years ago for his own selfish reasons, and is now having a moan because the north sea won't open as he would like, and then sticking the boot in on the country he abandoned whilst failing to recognise that much if the world economy is fucked for reasons beyond the control of a couple of central governments. I read the same words as you, but through a different lens.
  12. I take your point, but Ratcliffe ain't Einstein. No businessman is a genius in the way that inventors or scientists can be. Successful business owners make money. Scientists can make a difference.
  13. He's correct in that we're in a difficult place, but so are all the other major European economies. If he was abandoning us and going to Spain or Belgium because it was the land of milk and honey, I'd take your point, but he fucked off years ago to a tax haven. If you read what he says, he offers no solutions save opening the north sea (on which I agree), but that's not an altruistic plea given his business interests. If he had any genuine interest in his country he'd stay and contribute, but he showed his colours when he went to Monaco to tax dodge.
  14. Probably, in that he will need to drop down the leagues to play mens football and find his level. In truth, we haven't produced a centre forward good enough to improve us, or even give proper competition, since Shearer. Of those who've moved on, and improved and learned their trade in lower leagues, I can't think of many in recent times other than Morgan and Ballard. Despite the clamours for Ballard, he's the poor relation of those 2.
  15. Ehibhatiomhan scored another 2, but as we know, that doesn't suggest he can make the step up.
