Am I alone in thinking the ball came of Minas shoulder and not Allis arm.

No. You are considering responsibility without factoring in circumstance, and the role the government plays in creating circumstances. Ten years of very severe cuts have left many families in dire situations. When you throw in the consequences of this - family breakup, Crimea, mental health issues,...

[quote="Cryssys"][/quote] You are confusing fault and responsibility. It isnt the governments fault that so many people live on the streets, there are many different reasons, many different backstories that contribute. Who's responsible, all of us. Society is built from the ground up. You learn it f...

In 2016 18% of the UK population was aged 65 or over, this is forecast to increase to 22% in 2030 (source: ONS) That's hardly exponential is it? It is because in 2030 the population will be greater than it is today. So not only a larger number of people, but a larger percentage of old people. Expot...

1996 I think But even if interest rates were higher, the cost of housing to wages was still ridiculously favourable compared to now. The government have schemes, especially for first time buyers and on new builds. It seems strange that we are arguing about how difficult it is to buy your own home w...

What about trying to get on the property ladder? What about having to pay to go to university? And the older generation had generous final salary pension schemes to fall back on. I know its harder for my kids to buy a house than me, but at least they can. My parents never had the opportunity or the...

You really think it's a good idea to have zero public funding for railways? Really? These things travel at over 100mph on metal strips and sometimes carry hundreds or people. Do you REALLY think the private sector can be trusted like that? And if they can be trusted, why can't they be trusted to ru...

Colburn_Claret

So your worry is that it will cost the tax payer more money to subsidise publicly owned and managed railways than it would to subsidise privately-managed railways. Is that correct? I wouldn't subsidise privately managed railways either. If that's the case Jeremy can just withdraw the subsidies, he ...

The rich have been bleeding everyone else here for forty years. Seven hundred deaths of homeless people in the last year. Over a million having to use food banks, including working people. And your “thriving economy to fund a happy country” argument falls apart on the subject of Brexit. Andrew, you...

What brainwashed nonsense. Where have you been for the last ten years? The country is already I ruin due to massive cuts and sell offs so the Tories could reward their paymasters in the City with tax cuts. Privatised railways are being run so well that even a majority of Tory voters want to see the...

Thank god for the Tories being the party for the elderly, sick and unemployed?? I've never claimed anywhere that they are Steve, but that doesnt make Labours pie in the sky policies any more palatable. What life has taught me is if you want a good health service, pensions, schools, welfare state it...

I think the issue here is that your local pub isn't representative of the country. Just because you and the person sat next to you doesn't think it's an issue doesn't mean it isn't an issue. Fair enough, but if Labour are pinning their hopes of winning an election on the renationalisation ticket, t...

So you think people who rely on trains to get to work every day are happy being ripped off and having a substandard service? And it might be a shock to you but not everyone votes for the party who promises to put a few extra quid in their own pocket. I dont suppose they are, but if they think it's ...

Why is it that you are so abso-fucking-lutely certain all the ******* time about every dumb ******* thing you say, and yet as so ******* probably wrong?

I don't think the financial transaction tax is a common topic with the lads down the pub either but I don't see what relevance that has either. So the other parties haven't said anything about helping working class men (I'm not really sure whether women aren't working class or just aren't important...

Colburn_Claret

I assume you'd level the same criticism at all the leaders so I'm not sure why this is just a point re: Corbyn. Because Corbyn is the only one wanting to renationalise big industries. A common topic with the lads down the pub, NOT. Hes the one going on about protecting workers rights, when a, right...

I'm not sure he's as popular as you think he is. If he's serious about staying in politics, then there is a plethora of much safer seats he'd be well advised to go for. I don't think any tory seats in the SE (outside of Essex) are safe this time around. I think Boris has come across very well since...

Colburn_Claret

Corbyn is good, great even when the campaigning starts but he's going to really struggle with this one. Its a Brexit election, and his policy isn't one or the other and I can't believe they have been daft enough to find themselves in this position. He went against his own beliefs just to undermine ...

Impossible to compare 1983 with now. Thatcher had the success of the Falklands War and clear aims for the country. We had been (approx) 95th (from memory) in the world rankings. Thatcher dragged the country into the top 10 and a major player in the G7 and EU meetings. Michael Foot lacked charisma a...

Do you think that fraudulent voters are magically predicting, with near 100% accuracy, the people who aren't going to vote? No they go knocking on the door and asking, whilst out canvassing. If they say they're not voting what easier than to apply. Then there are those who might be elderly and appr...

If someone has applied for a postal vote on your behalf without your knowledge then you can't vote in-person. You'd arrive at the polling station and they'd not have you on their list of electors. (or maybe they would but they'd have you down as a postal voter, i'm uncertain). If this was a major p...

Just like anyone can get loads of postal votes to use. If driving licences and passports can be secure. Why not votes People dont register for multiple postal votes, its unscrupulous supporters making use of postal votes of other people under various guises. Wether that's because they didn't want t...

So allowing people to vote via an app is disenfranchising people. I suggest it’s enabling people. If you turn up at a voting booth, you are seen by the registrars. Anyone could usurp an app, and nobody would know who is using it. Just look at the issues of postal votes in Leicester and Peterborough...

I must admit I am quickly losing patience with VAR. It is turning into what I always feared, bias backed by cameras. If it does not improve significantly I think my love affair with football is coming to an end. It is just too removed from the game I grew up with. We used to laugh at American sport...

I'm glad this was bumped, I missed it first time, although I saw the food bins I wasnt sure what was going on. I feel guilty I never took more notice.
I cant offer my services for collecting sadly, but I'll make it a routine to contribute in the future.
A great initiative, well done to all involved.

Colburn_Claret

No.
Never was, doubt he ever will be.
He is top class at shot stopping, but so many areas of his game are weak. As someone informed me, the only reason he is England keeper is because Everton's Goalkeeping Coach is on the England staff.

I'd normally be ****** off, 4-0 down, but I enjoyed most of yesterday. We were second best to a very good team, but we didn't disgrace ourselves despite what the scoreline was. If Ash had buried one of his chances, especially the first half header, or if Lowts and Tarks hadn't screwed up, or if Jay ...

How anyone can have a go at Nick is mind boggling. He might not be super human, but he is still the best goalkeeper for England, by a long way, and still one of the best in the league. One bad result, not one of the goals could be laid at his door, but lets have a moan. Jesus wept.

Colburn_Claret

Lineker has accelerated to the top of the prick list. Not just for his blue tainted specs, but he's growing into a cameo of his own worst traits, a muppet caricature of himself, on everything. If that was a push by Lowts then there would be about 20 penalties every game. Its not just that he never p...

Colburn_Claret

Yeah, I agree. Gets knocked about far too easily. He did a lot of leg-work running about breaking up play, but sometimes I would love to see him drive forward with the ball into space rather than always opting for a simple sideways or backwards pass. I don't get this. I've complained for a long tim...

Only change for me would be Wood back if fit.
Who for is debatable, but as its Sheff Utd I'd start with Barnes ahead of Jay. Horses for courses.

Don't understand the bed wetting over this from the Brexit camp.
