    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Totally empathise with your point but I think your first sentence in bold highlights for me why this is such an issue in terms of equality and social justice. It is completely impossible for young people to buy a home without generational wealth even in very good salaries. Rather than rewarding...

    [News] Why is this not being trialled in Brighton?

    Huge and probably very expensive but you get my point!

    [News] Why is this not being trialled in Brighton?

    It's not really a commuter route though is it? Most people in Brighton and Hove don't both live and work near the seafront. I have to say I don't really get the issue with the seafront lane. It only cost a few tins of paint and for most of the length of it the road has stayed two lanes both...

    [News] Why is this not being trialled in Brighton?

    Probably the biggest failure of the Green councils in Brighton is to simultaneously make non-cyclists think they were obsessed with helping cyclists and punishing motorists, yet at the same time building close to f*** all useful cycling infrastructure.

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson

    That's an interesting take. Whilst I think you're right on a geographic basis I don't think there's any sort of "Irish premium" in England - ie I don't think many of the Irish players in England are playing at clubs above their level. I'm sure if we were located near Hungary you'd probably find...

    This is a very accurate assessment. Consistently weaker than the sum of their parts (which aren't particularly great).

    [Travel] Driving in Europe (Holland/Gemany) advice, experiences etc

    Drove to Munich and back (route was via Reims and Stuttgart) a couple of years ago with young kids. Main advice would be if you are trying to get from one place to another through France and don't need to stop, pay the tolls. Best roads I've ever seen anywhere in the world. Services a bit hit...

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    100% yellow for Rice. Might be "housery" or whatever but catching a player trying to stand over the ball or make him block a quick free kick to get him booked is not a new trick and it's always been a yellow for the opponent. However I reckon Veltman could have pulled out of the kick, at least...

    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    No it doesn't make sense at all. O'Riley has been playing so is fit. He's also been playing in Scotland which is just as physical (probably more so) than the English lower leagues, and was an L1 player three years ago. It was the perfect chance to get him up and running.

    [Albion] Which player's name do you have/ are you getting on your shirt?

    My kids had Adingra and Gross last year. Son wanted Barco but I convinced him to wait until end of the window (only as I thought he might get a new number if Igor left, not because he was going anywhere). He's now going to get O'Riley.

    [Misc] Parking Eye- Liars

    I know it's a different company and situation but I have twice had to appeal penalty charges from the Dartford Crossing and both times they just accepted my explanation, not even supported by any evidence. Maybe just try giving them a call explaining it to them as a first action? If the cameras...

    [Help] Is this job ad legal or even moral ?

    I know in faith schools they are allowed to reserve certain roles (head, head of RE, chaplain) for those of that faith so exceptions from the Equality Act do exist. Not sure why it can be applied to an IT role though. Or why the institution would want to limit their applicants.

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

    Ultimately it's such a shame that the only possible 2 ways to spend/save money is through public sector wages and fuel allowances for the elderly, therefore pitching these two groups against each other. If only someone could think of other ways to save or raise money.

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

    Weren't these done away with as soon as Cameron and Osborne came in? They were for teachers. It's still not a bad pension but compared to many I know with private ones it's comparable.

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

    Not sure you can read that much into yesterday. Yesterday's pay rises are off the back of 15 years of below-inflation pay and lagging way behind private sector. If they start giving 5.5% every year, then you may have a point.

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

    The link between the housing ladder and inheritance these days is fundamental and needs to be de-coupled somehow. I was lucky enough to buy my first house in 2013 with a 95% mortgage and a £10k deposit. If we'd waited a year we'd have needed £20k which would have been a tall order to save...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    To be honest I agree with you to some extent. As someone who follows the Albion and Ireland and whose family is from Galway, no-one was more invested in Aaron Connolly doing well than me. And I definitely gave him more time and was sticking up for him more than most. But as the good...

    [Football] Who do you want to be England manager?

    Carsley turned down the Ireland job a few months back. Could indicate he thought he was likely to get the England job? Could also be that the Ireland job is shit.

    [Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

    Not sure I can agree with the analogy between someone taking a massive career move and your Mrs cheating on you. I don't think this will happen as we've moved on technically since. Feels a bit like if we'd brought back Hughton when Potter left. Although I think as a modern coach Potter is no...
