He can’t lead a line - lack of physical dominance and never comes short to offer an option. my mate who I went to the world cup with is a derby ST holder. He said they should buy him as a left winger. We don’t need him there. Sell.

Got through. Sell Diaz buy another target man. Bragg looked good - has always looked class and in my opinion will go onto achieve big things

I always prefer to see two, rather than one

Reminds me of a very very very shite zidane the way he meanders around the pitch

The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?
Sir Ralph replied to iansums's topic in The Lounge
Fair enough. It seems as though the system is broken. My wife knows people who don’t need the money claiming money for their kids having ADHD (and they don’t). Having quotas for decisions is wrong too if people genuinely are struggling. The problem it appears is that it’s easy for people to make things up about MH as it’s not visually apparent. That harms those in genuine need. Question is how do you address a system where people can make things up and get away with it as it’s not visually obvious. I don’t think the status quo works but not sure what the answer is. Many of us have had MH issues with work stress (I would say a decent of people that I know have or still do). However we carry on so I struggle to reconcile why many people are booked off. It does seem that the system needs to be tougher -

Point is there are tonnes of people milking the system and the system allows it as it’s too soft. GPs just sign people off as it’s the easy thing to do. -

Mental health is impacted by different things. It says a lot that I focused on how employment can help and you focused on how people can’t work. In which post did I say it was a sole solution? Please point this out to me. Some people will be impacted by a lack of purpose in life, including younger people who are unemployed, and that will impact their mental health. Good to see the usual gang backing one another even though one of their own is talking utter tripe. I’m waiting for the evidence which confirms I’m wrong.

Not really is it. You’ve essentially said that statement is clueless if it concludes that if people are in employment it has no improvement in terms of their mental health - really???!!! Pesky evidence below (there is tonnes of it). Provide me with evidence that contradicts my comment and supports your view. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7681163/ https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/employment-dosage https://deconstructingstigma.org/latest/benefits-working -

If we worked harder on getting people into work we would have fewer mental health issues -

Questions, questions - you are very good at asking lots of them (four in that one). I answered rounds 1-17 but by 18 I got bored. There isn’t much point responding as you just come back with more and it goes in a never ending circle. Your tactic is pretty clear. I’ve seen it with other posters you don’t agree with. Any chance you could put me on ignore would be appreciated. The part of you that is amusing is the way you subtly attempt to mention your own perceived success now and again on a forum to strangers. For clarity the above are statements not questions.

I thought you were putting me on ignore.

I’m not responding as I have other things to do in my day. I’m off to make a Lego deportation camp 😂

Last questions I’ll respond to on this: 1. This was one of two initial suggestions I made - so not a solution in isolation. Technically there is no difference. However knowing you are going to be transferred out of Europe when you arrive to Rwanda is a physiological disincentive. For those with uncertain cases / lack of evidence I would ensure processing times are sufficiently enlongated to try to weed out the fakes. 2. By Italy taking this robust stance, as a key member it starts to put pressure on the eu or other eu countries to take the wider matter more seriously if it wants to maintain its core value of free movement. Hopefully other countries threaten this to put the pressure on even more.

The issue is the number of “centrists” that jump on a single post made by someone they don’t agree with. It’s the Spanish Inquisition by multiple centrists that makes responding to queries nearly impossible. It’s death by a thousand cuts. Attack en masse to quieten dissent - I’ve read about that type of strategy before in various countries! No wonder people with alternative views stop posting and it becomes an echo chamber of the “centrists” left. To answer one of the queries I agree that if we could be part of the Dublin agreeemnt that would help as a factor in reducing immigration

Each country has its own issue. I didn’t say get rid altogether. It’s about reducing the scope of who qualifies. Gaza maybe one example but there are either countries where there are alternative safe locations - do you agree? In terms of offshore processing this is about upon arrival in Europe - not moving between European countries as they should have already been moved offshore for processing. Why wouldn’t that work? To me that’s the biggest disincentive which the conservatives did put forward. An observation- there is a specific group of people on here who allege they a want to reduce illegal migration. Any suggestion of a change is met with “that’s a terrible ideas” or “it won’t work” rather than engaging with the issue. Not surprising but rather strange bearing in mind their alleged views on this matter

@JohnnyShearer2.0 head above the parapet. Do you have the answer to my question you promised last week you were struggling with?
