Our 10 years are above theirs, and growing scarily quickly. Latest figures below. The FTSE was up this am and the 10 years down, and those positions reversed during the day. The markets will inevitably fall when yields are this attractive. I'm starting to move things around a wee bit.

It's unbelievable, and seems to be much more sinister than "just" the fight initially reported.

Gotcha, thanks that. Breaching an NDA isn't clever, but it's hard to see how that undermines the decision itself. Let's see where this goes.

Whatever the word used, City aren't prejudiced by the outcome being out there. The appeal tribunal will decide it on its merits. I suspect you've listened to a media hungry lawyer.

What do you mean by "defence"? They've made their defence, and lost. An appeal would focus on the decision being wrong. A leak of the outcome wouldn't prejudice that - the appeal tribunal will know the decision as they'd be deciding if it was wrong.

That was a ridiculous thing to ask him. Part of my work involves SEND kids, and ADHD diagnosis is common place, but many kids are deemed to be disregulated by neuro divergence when I'm reality they're impacted by hormones, diet, immaturity, and all manner of things. Like Whelk, I'd probably be diagnosed, but what would be the point. I don't need the badge. Or PiP. Although a cheap mobility motor sounds appealing.

I think it was probably a combination of the reality being harder than theory as you suggest, plus some policy and PR people around him turning him into the wet lemon he became. The knee nonsense, for example, was undoubtedly a suggestion from policy and PR people, and I'm not sure it got any better for him after that.

I'm not sure he was authentic. In opposition he was completely different. He kicked Boris around the commons in PMQ's and looked like he could be brilliant. Then he got the gig and was completely different. Kind of a labour version of John Major, but worse.

Bloody hell. That sounded horrendous. Stabbed as well.

Agreed. I think that with some money to spend where it's needed, and if we weren't so debt laden, that he could do really well. The odds are against him though sadly.

That's a different issue. They weren't/aren't.

That suggests that you have no issue with them cooking the books for years, cranking up prices and wages so other clubs a) can't compete with them for players and b) can't stay within FFP/PSR rules because of said increases. I'm not on board with that. FFP/PSR is nonsense, agreed, but that doesn't make any of this right.

I'm not sure that immigration was the Brexit vote swinger. I think it was more about national autonomy, and a misguided belief we'd do better alone than as part of a collective. People will always want to leave a life without hope seeking a better life, and as long as there's a stretch of water between us and Europe, people will come here on boats. What we can do is make ourselves less attractive, thus making that boat journey not worth the risk.
