    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I’d love to think you are right but if the next gov tried this there would be a massive outcry from public and media being so soon after a referendum. On the assumption that the next gov is labour, I can’t see them even considering such a risk.

    [Albion] Deniz Undav

    I am surprised and shocked by his mins/goal in equal measure. Work to do, but let's not write him off yet

    [Albion] PASSING ON A TICKET WARNING

    All the home games have now gone to ticket exchange and I suspect most, if not all, will sell out on this basis too. 1901 seats on the exchange can be purchased by away fans which seems a shame if there are Albion fans that would like to go but cant get a ticket anywhere else in the stadium. If...

    [Food] Carbon negative products

    Still very misleading as the vast majority of land globally used for livestock is pasture land and is not suitable for growing crops. Where grass is grown on croppable land, it tends to form a rotation that makes the growing of crops sustainable and possible. Furthermore one of the biggest...

    [Food] Carbon negative products

    To be fair, there is good reason for cynicism generally. Carbon off setting is dubious at best. I recently learned that some airlines, who charge to offset your flight, are paying landowners not to cut down trees they had no intention of ever cutting down. The airlines are then claiming a carbon...

    [Food] Carbon negative products

    You just made that figure up as you well know. However, the growing of all non meat food for humans requires soil nutrition. This can come from one of two sources: artificial fossil fuel based nitrogen fertilisers that are the single biggest carbon contributor in world agriculture, or livestock...

    [Football] Wembley Box Park for SF

    What happens after the game? If you have a pre paid entrance ticket, does this give you guaranteed or priority access back in or is it a free for all queue on a first come first served basis? And is so, do you have to pay to get back in?

    [Albion] Tony Grealish

    I didn't know he had died!:( I was a big fan of Horton and Grealish and not sure I would put one ahead of the other as players but Horton arguably had the biggest influence in what was the greatest ever team at that point in our history, so fair shout. To be fair, making comparisons between...

    [Misc] Disused railway stations of Sussex

    Great thread and thanks to Clamp for starting. More on west Sussex would be interesting. For those that happen to know the crossing by the WSCC highways depot at Drayton near Chichester, I gather there used to be a 'station' there for farmers to off load their sugar beet crop which then went by...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Not a defence at all, completely the reverse. I despair how lies and spin (essentially the same thing in practice) have become imbedded in politics and are now largely considered normal. I despise Johnson for his lies, arrogance and his total lack of interest in the welfare of the country and...

    I agree but have never understood why this isn't the case? Surely income is income and therefore should be taxed the same?

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Whether he did or didn't lie is now really irrelevant in terms of his career (that's not to say he shouldn't be held to account) as a politician in that he has completely and permanently lost the trust of the people he was supposed to represent. The fact that he and his supporters believe there...

    [Politics] The official Budget thread - kick off 12.30pm

    The 'agricultural land' is an interesting one. The value/cost of farmland is far, far too high for it to be possible for a farmer to take out a mortgage to buy it and make a living out of producing food, which I would like to think is the use that we would all think appropriate and above all...

    [Football] Gary Lineker to step back from presenting MOTD

    One problem is that if the club made a statement on this issue then a precedent is set where they will be expected to do the same on many others, current and future. Not really where a football club or any business wants to be. GL can share his views as one individual and its his choice if he...

    But then I didn't say that, because yes that would be strange!
