He's like a child - it seems to be very common on this forum for those on the right to act like this.

Ahahahaha, net worth champions. What's your net worth?

It's funny.

I mean, that's not going to work, Nigerians may mostly be black but they're not made of tarmac.

But, but, flying cars are so cool.

This is really interesting, and a good reason to try to pull your ISAs and pensions out of stocks ASAP...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/11/07/millionaires-no-incentive-stay-uk-rugby-league-boss/ Great article outlining the issues we have with rich individuals wanting to use current tax laws as an excuse to move to a 0% tax haven. If they just wanted slightly lower taxes surely they'd move to the US or similar, not Switzerland, Greece and the UAE.

Considering we've created nothing next to nothing I'm not sure the lack of the striker is that much of an issue.

Hence why I put "tend" in there.

For @bpsaint - you want to stop young black men from Africa coming to Europe, then you need to solve global inequality. That is the reason for it, pure and simple.

Why do you think that the poorest countries in the world tend to be the most corrupt?

If as a country they didn't have mass poverty, then of course they wouldn't. Why do you think they come here?

In other news... BBC News - Pound rises to its highest level since the Brexit referendum - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6lykq2qjn2vo?app-referrer=deep-link "Some traders said the UK was being seen in a different light given relative political stability, solid growth and the rapprochement with the European Union. Sterling has responded strongly to Brexit developments and political uncertainty in recent years. Jim O'Neill, an economist and former Treasury minister, said: "I'm not surprised. People were, and to a lesser extent, are, underestimating the improving momentum in the UK."

If they had more funding their working age men wouldn't want to travel thousands of miles to come here for work.

A very odd way to put it. Unfit yes, but why lazy?

What's that mean?

I'm lucky I'm as much as I don't do it for financial gain, so I can play champagne socialist as and when I choose. However, I truly believe in this cause - millions of jobs will be affected.

So, today I have just resigned from my second non-Exec job in 6 months thanks to board recommendations for mass redundancies due to the role of AI within FTSE businesses. As I am advising on IT strategy I cannot support this, so have had to tender my resignation. This is an incredibly serious issue, and it will affect anyone and everyone of working age that is not in a trade. Coordinated Government intervention is needed, otherwise we will see further growth in the welfare state as roles are removed in favour of Agentic AI. Companies need to be limited as to how many roles can be shed in favour of AI.

Course they are - they can't wipe them all out if they don't kill them all.

He's playing better because he's playing with a much better CB. As I've repeatedly said over the last 3 years, THB was the reason our defence has been poor.

Motivational quotes...

Someone with his past wouldn't be let into the US, would they?

So sad, and he'll also never know who won Traitors.

In what way? Come on, at least expand a little.

Unusually quiet for the day after a budget...
