Agree that name calling is not healthy but to be fair that is Trump's domain, calling people dumb, even making fun of a disabled journalist.
He embodies the idea that if you have no principles you cannot be held accountable to them. |

They still pay taxes though, worlds a different place now. Unlikely that any sixteen year old will be leaving schooland getting a job that will eventually allow them to buy a house and raise a family.
Education just doesn’t appear to be important to many, this is where I think the UK will be overtaken |

Suicide pact seems a tad hyperbolic..
I would imagine it takes several years to get new sites up and running to the point they are contributing to the world’s oil supplies, ready for the UK to buy it back. In the mean time the Country could be working on more sustainable models.
Struggle to understand why people are so anti the UK trying to become energy self sufficient using renewables, asking what about the oil used in turbines etc seems pathetic.
Being ideally placed to take advantage of wind and tidal energy I would have hoped the UK would be leading the charge, being the most knowledgeable, having the best engineers, being able to export those services, all very useful to the Country, but no f**k it, lets just keep buying fossil fuels off despots. |

It would seem that you have decided that these are the only options. Its a strange way of communicating to decide what the answers are to your questions as you ask them.
Governments do have levers they can pull, borrowing to purchase a commodity is I would imagine different to borrowing to spend on say tax cuts. |

What about the revenues generated by the Water Companies, the power companies, the railways.. Is it not possible that a Country should be able to harness its resources to the benefit of all its people, rather than just the shareholders? |

Simpler answer could be that Reforms use of the TikTok algorithm worked reasonably well. Obviously not without help from Russian bots  |

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. |

Reply | Southgate’s replacement.
at 18:26 20 May 2024
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. |
