This is half the problem, there is a lack of ambition, vision and smarts in the general population and we get the politicians we deserve based on that. |

Was it senior civil servants who imposed the levels of austerity on the Country that reduced the quality of service for the NHS, Court System, Schools, Councils and many other vital institutions?
I wonder what the Country would look like if we replaced civil servants each election. Certainly can't rely on newly elected ministers to hit the ground running.
If we could keep a minister in the same post for the duration of a parliament they might just understand the job properly and be able to implement positive change. |

Large amount of people who still see no value in a free education up to the age 18. So many people without any valuable qualifications, this is where as a Country we will lose. Parents who barely finished school themselves are rarely going to push their kids into getting a decent education. It might have worked for the grand parents and parents generation, leave school with nothing but get a job that can still afford them to buy a house etc, if they 'work hard'.
As to the point about minimum wage being less than what people get on benefits, surely the answer there is to give people a living wage if they are working. One that allows them to both pay their rent and eat. |

I’d make the boomers do it! Get them to give something back, however little, for all the advantages they had that the youngest generation will never get.  |

I’d say we witnessed this to a certain degree this season. Cifuentes learned quite early on that the players were too limited to play how he hoped. Made some adjustments based on that and was successful.
I would say that the top managers would be able to do similar at whatever level you put them at. |

Is the suggestion here that the managers are better in the National League? not sure I really follow the logic. I would imagine he would do ok but would be limited by what the players were capable of. |

Wow!
Life is bleak! Never be happy for someone. A women who has fought family battles to pursue a profession to pretty much an elite level, not generally accessible to both her gender and race. But whatever, just a PE teacher…
Seriously, suck the life out of everything |

This is the solution many have been suggesting for some time now. If an owner wants to spend money on the club to elevate their position then providing they have the funds to do so then the rules should permit it. Escrow would never work as the money would 'dead' for the duration, but its not beyond the wit of man or woman to draw up a legal mechanism that performs the same task to cover all contracts made under the owners tenure. |

Based on form it is unlikely that any the bottom four will be getting 2 wins and a draw from their remaining games. But 6 points to guarantee survival is different to what we may well up requiring. |

Is it a flag though? It’s a symbol at the back of the collar. It’s a playful reference to both the cross and the 1966 team.
I could possibly understand the reaction if it was front and center and the main link to English identity, but I believe that is covered generally by the three lions badge. |

The colours are taken from the 1966 England training kit. As both Nike and the FA have repeatedly said.
Crazy that people are so sensitive these days, |

I would lean more to the individual being able to define how they are identified. So in your case if your wife wishes to identify as British Jamaican then that is all there is to it. That is just my opinion though, put the power in the individual to identify how they are most comfortable. But that seems to trigger the anti-woke brigade.
Seems a lot of fuss over the colour of a flag hidden at the back of a collar. Maybe the knockoffs should correct it, shirts would be cheaper and the flag the right colour. Everyone wins! |

As above but also check out the ruin bars, amazing places with great atmosphere.
We did one of the walking tours, guide was an English girl (History Teacher) who had married a Hungarian lad. Loved the place, also look out for the small statues dotted about the place by a Ukrainian artist.
We stayed at the Intercontinental on the river front, great location. Was by the ‘shoes’ on the riverfront which is also an installation worth taking in. |

Feel sorry for anyone who has to work in a call centre.
Automate that sh*t already!
Then use that money saved to spend more on the automated system to make it usable |
