The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Sir Ralph replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
How much tax has Ineos paid over the years, how much investment in the Uk and how many jobs created? He will have paid multiple times in tax more than any of us ever will. Why would he want to pay more tax here when he just explained that the welfare bill is too high. Maybe if those who blamed others for not paying more than they already do, had worked harder and taken risks they could have contributed more. -

Peretz must play, he needs all the practice he can get if he's ever going to get up to speed and start making good decisions. Stewart needs to be put in cotton wool, jander needs a rest. - Today
-
Why? Given his history over the last few years it seems very unlikely
-
Was that for the 17.45 to Poole?
-
Well' Yes and No.
-
I didn't realise that they were on our side at Waterloo. Why didn't they tell Bony P, could have saved a lot of time and expense
-
Yep, they've now taken the full allocation and looking on the OS, only around 150 left - if correct 3,600 already sold
-
Classic late ‘3rd man run’ from Armstrong to slot in? One of my favourite memories, loved DA. Remember a similar late finish v Sunderland too.
-
The reduced terms thing does make sense. In the very likely situation we’re in this league next season and he isn’t crocked I’d offer him either a years extension at his current deal, or two year extension with a lower basic but pay as you play incentives.

Remember us wearing yellow in a friendly against Real Sociedad at the Dell back in 2000, can’t recall any other time though. Back to the game I saw fuck it, we’ve got a week until our next game and the team will still be reading the crest of a wave after Tuesday, I say let’s go again and keep the momentum going with as many of our first XI as possible. -

I wonder if those emigrating to Monaco are an immediate drain on the public purse? Meanwhile, on immigrant island..... -
He'd be walking into an absolute shit storm and deserves better. That club is poisoned and its a thankless task for whoever goes there - all that lies ahead is cost cutting, wage cuts, and a struggle so survive whilst they weaken the squad iteratively over a couple of windows. I don't want that for Hassenhuttle, all amusements at them signing him (after the 9-0, bertrand, Vestergard) aside.

and the fact Foxes were complacent after all 3 up 45 to go what could possibly go wrong?🫣

“Jim” makes Reform noises and gets jumped on. Break out the world’s smallest violin. Apparently his “colonisation” of Monaco is saving him some £4b in taxes. Just think what the NHS could do with that. Meanwhile he is trying to get more of our money to shore up his businesses. No sympathy from me. He brought the grief on himself. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/sep/25/sir-jim-ratcliffe-uks-richest-person-moves-to-tax-free-monaco-brexit-ineos-domicile -

Welcome to the far right. -
I was thinking about that Ipswich game earlier when racking my brain about comebacks, although of course it was at The Dell. Weren’t we 3-0 down at one point in that match ? My recollection is that the crowd were incensed by Ipswich’s second or third goal as they played on whilst a Saints player was down injured. Then we scored before halftime, and that rallied the crowd (which was pretty good when it got going at The Dell in those days). Came out second half and went for it, Moran and Armstrong in fine form. Got a second and we all knew it was ‘on’. May have got some of that wrong*, as one thing I do ‘remember’ from the match was that (then in my younger years) I and my mate were quite pissed at the game. * perhaps it was the second goal just after HT that set the crowd up

On balance, are curlers the best looking sports people?
The Kraken replied to Stripey McStripe Shirt's topic in The Lounge
Yeah I think ultimately you’re right. Like you say a tough one. The IOC were prepared to allow a black armband, so they’re not ruling out a “political statement” unitarily. Difficult to draw a line in the sand, and I wouldn’t have fancied being in the discussions with the Ukrainian slider telling him the limits of the IOC-approved levels of grief allowed on track. -

It's a tough one, but there's the risk that one of the "neutral" competitors chooses to do the same for fallen people they know. The IOC is then faced with having to allow that and facing likely backlash, or allow a different approach to Ukrainian and Russian competitors. They took the safe course, which on balance, I think is the right one. -
I’m sure some detailed research will reveal the major contribution made by the Eckerts of their day to the success.
