    [News] Awful news coming in from Southport.

    Not only his plums, takes a heavy blow to his head first from another brick, might've knocked some sense into him I suppose.

    [News] Awful news coming in from Southport.

    The other day certain people were lauding the police for getting 'stuck in' and 'taking no prisoners', today they're getting beaten up and their vans set on fire by the same people :shrug:

    [Misc] Twitter/X

    When I venture outside the people I follow, I find it fascinating/interesting and depressing. It's definitely good to read other viewpoints, but it seems that there is so much extreme views, with little balance or nuance, particularly from the right. Also sometimes get the impression I'm the...

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    I don't see what the police did as OTT, it seems reasonable and understandable in the circumstances, EXCEPT for the kick and particularly the stamp to the head whilst the bloke was lying face down on the floor after being tasered. The stamp in that situation is way out of line IMO.

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Already been awarded. Also this bollox wont cost £28 million, but will be funded from a pot of £28 million awarded in 2022 by the Tory Government. The council said it was awarded £28 million in government funding from the Department for Transport in 2022 for the Bus Service Improvement Plan...

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Let's wait and see, apparently some analysis coming out today. I agree though that it looks very much like BS, but don’t underestimate the depths the Tories will have gone to to bluff, bluster and obfuscate, particularly knowing they were going to be losing power in a few weeks.

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Is it reasonable for Labour to say that the financial black hole is bigger than they thought? Should/could they have understood these issues, or did the Tories play smoke and mirrors when in Government?

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    Around the time of her budget the unfunded tax cuts resutled in the interst rates on UK gilts to increase rapdily. Some people are still payign the price for that. It's true that she didnt directly affcet the BoE base rate.

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    I'm not sure, the policeman kicks and stamps on a person's head, whilst they're not moving and laying on the ground. Does the context significantly mitigate how serious that is? I don't think it will do, but maybe when we know the full story, if we ever do...

    [Albion] Season Expectations

    I guess 7-10, but wouldn't be surprised to get top 6, similarly wouldn't be that surprised if we end up in a relegation battle.

    On Betfair the decimal odds of Vance winning the election are 170; seems like a bet worth a few pounds?

    Don't think I've ever seen someone being shot in the ear, but this is exactly what I expect it would look like :shrug:
