More than one controversy over the current speaker's impartiality.

Was hoping against hope that Kenny was fit. Worrying forward line, but there is nothing that can be done now. Move the ball quickly, and get some decent balls in. Please.

As a full back his goals/assists numbers wouldn't concern me whatsoever. His defensive work is a different matter of course. Can't say his departure has cost us.

Problem with PR is the increasing likelihood of mixed, coalition type governments. Might sound good, but a strong chance that nothing actually gets done. All these parties may also make coalitions more likely, but they can be formed from similar minded parties, as opposed to every Tom, Dick and Harry each wanting their own piece of the cake. At least under the current system, if the incumbents fuck up, they can be kicked out, and someone else given a chance to sort things (or fuck it up of course).

Not if he wanted to go.

Missing the point entirely there. Of course much of their stuff is. However, immigration isn't, and transcends political parties. It is the biggest issue gripping our nation. Hence why so many labour voters are going that way. It's not difficult to understand this. Yet so many seem to. As an aside, Farage has stipulated he wants to re-nationalise certain industries, so maybe he isn't actually as right wing as you suggest.

Indeed, that is the obvious difficulty. Very much so, in the idea of bringing back the death penalty. I can just see it both ways, you would obviously want to see someone who wronged you punished, but would you be happy to know that your taxes are being used to incarcerate someone that may be deported afterwards? Additionally knowing they're possibly being further inculcated by other inmates of a similar ilk.

Still suggesting that Reform is this heavily a right wing party. Yet it has gained numerous voters from Labour. Almost entirely down to the immigration issue. Immigration isn't (or shouldn't) be a political issue in terms of left or right. Many of the voters clearly don't see it thar way, yet traditional parties don't grasp it.

Given that only a proportion of seats were available, that would be extremely difficult. The bigger picture shows a huge gain amongst those available. 9 out of 20 in Bolton. If that was to continue next time round, then the country would look very different. In Tameside, every seat available was won by Reform. Rayner's area. Traditionally, a red wall, and one with a lot of Muslims. To overturn that is remarkable.

The expense of keeping them! Ireland, as a civilised nation, I would imagine would also lock the said twat up. I would guess that victims' families would be more concerned about the possibility of someone being deported to a nation that wouldn't lock the guilty individual up. As I said, if you let the families have input, then maybe that would be a solution.

Always been the case. The "barometer" effect is more interesting than the actual results. People rarely vote according to who they think would be the best councillor, but along party lines. Not usually a great deal of info available on prospective candidates neither.

Mental.

Saw one fella (YouTube iirc) who reckons we all use deck boards the wrong way up. Must say, I'm inclined to agree with him. The grooves fill with shit, and hold rain water. Flat surface makes it run off quicker.

Sounds good. Media still seem unsure as to when, and who will put their head above the parapet and try to oust the dalek. Seems our Ange may be in trouble over her antics at that school (and the school itself) which could seriously blow up in her face if complaints are made. That might finish her off.

Iirc, you live in a drier part of the country. My deck was similar- well raised off the ground. Painted it regularly, used joist hangers etc. Can't get the paint everywhere unfortunately, and that's perhaps where the rot started. Can't remember precisely, but it started going after around 12 years, and didn't last much longer. Disappointed in the end. Keeping it clean is a nightmare too.

Hope so. As for city- I felt beforehand that it would be a bit of a struggle at Everton. Started fairly well, but missed chances (sounds familiar) and once they'd scored and half time came it was as if they were on the beach. That centre half pairing looked well dodgy too.

Wonder how many folk have had a holiday booked, thinking the season will be over? Good time of year, before kids break up.

Aye. Sat in the home end at Bramhall Lane once. Met an old uni mate who was a blades fan. We lost, he was weirder than he was at uni, and the overall experience was cack. Drive home was the best bit of the day.

This is an interesting point. In one view, yes lock them up then deport. In another, why go to all that expense? Send them back immediately, having taken all their biometric data. If their country doesn't lock them up that would be a shame, but you'd imagine repeating the offense may see them punished. If their country lops of their head, then tough. A difficult conundrum for sure. Maybe let the victim's family have some input.

Yep. Or spray off the lot. Then break up the soil and level out. We've applied quite a bit of top dressing to F.D's lawn to help even out the scrapes, though re-starting is clearly going to be yield a more accurate end point.

😀 Did occur to me- the obvious end point. Nevertheless, we all know that they won't win everything, and it may be a clever ploy. Poorer, former industrial towns, and traditional red wall areas, have tended to be areas where more migrants have been housed. The lure of some extra cash. The Green and Reform parties are vying for these traditional votes. It could backfire of course, with a "fuck you" response. We'll see soon enough.

Hard surfaces are flags, block, brick, tarmac, resin bonds. Even gravel, though more weeds can grow. When using an MOT base; if it only for pedestrian traffic, then the amount/quality isn't as key. We've gradually been doing some patchwork in the garden and used recycled stuff from Easy Lawn. Has some crap in it, like pieces of plastic and wood, but they're small in number and easy to pick out. If a supplier of such material is local to your pitch, then it would save you money. Failing that, use a cheap rock one. A good base will ensure your top flags remain steady.

There is a rape every 58 minutes in London. A sexual assault every 19 minutes. Harrasement/stalking more frequently still. Welcome to England.

Each to their own, but I'd never have another decking. Plastic/composite one maybe, but that is very, very expensive. A lot of maintenance required, not easy to properly clean and reseal or paint. Get slippery, and still rots eventually. Wood is still expensive too. Hard surface for me. Remove top soil, cheap recycled MOT, and topped off with required surface.

Absolutely. Evatt ball for much of the second half. Atrocious attitude for a team needing to win so much.
