As if anyone in favour of the death penalty has ever given a shit about executing the wrong person.

That's true, but it's also true that it's the sort of policy that can only work in a small country. Google running huge parts of their books through Ireland and paying a relatively small amount in tax is a huge benefit for Ireland. Them doing the same thing in the UK would be a far smaller...

Median wage in the UK (PPP): $63,691 Median wage in Ireland (PPP): $60,431 Source

It's not. It's a demonstration of how lower taxes can make your country appear rich on paper, per capita, if you have a very small population, and basically run a bunch of massive corporations' profits through the books in your country. Large countries can't do that, because large countries are...

I mean technically you're not wrong, but the majority of that list is some combination of micro states/city states, tax havens, and countries with massive oil wealth in a small population. If you remove those countries, the UK is more like 11th or 12th. Even if you don't, it doesn't necessarily...

I dunno, Wolves are shite with all those players available, so perhaps it'll do them a favour.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. For example, there are presumably plenty of crimes carried out by homeless people, who might not have any ID and whose nationality can’t therefore officially be recorded. I don’t really know how the police go about recording nationality, but I assume...

Why vote Green? Vote Tory. They presided over the highest levels of immigration in history. Almost all of it legal. Almost all of it as a direct result of their immigration policies and visa schemes designed to attract millions. All while bullshitting everyone with anti-immigrant and at times...

Aye, economics is what wins elections, not all of this immigration bullshit. Anti-immigration rhetoric is a symptom, not the solution. Having said that, they're going to solve this huge backlog in processing refugees by......[checks note]......making them apply for asylum twice as often...

I've got a (rag) mate who used to work for City as an English teacher. Mainly with some of the younger EDS players from overseas, but he did once do a lesson for Roberto Mancini. Just one mind, which explains a lot. Probably taught him the phrase "thees eez football."

But also creating more of the novelty versions that use less chocolate, like all of that Wonka bollocks.

I reckon I was about 10 when this came out, but something about Wednesday dressed as Pocahontas and torching the village really did it for me.

"Quick, it's the international break. Write something about a big club monitoring a player that every big club is obviously monitoring as if it's news!"

I can't. How about you spell it out for us? Unless you think that saying what you really think rather than hiding behind innuendo might out you as the 'far right racist' you're so keen to avoid being labelled as.

But equally, if it was published in a national newspaper, no-one would question the newspaper's liability. What we have with social media is a platform where anyone can post whatever they want, but also a platform that engages in editorial decisions about that content. It selects content to show...

Perfect casting though. Not a scouser in sight.

Yep, basically anywhere that had adults in charge of children with little to no oversight. But as with every example, it's not that it happened, but how the club dealt with it and deal with it going forward. The scandal in the Catholic church wasn't just that priests were abusing children, it...

I dunno. A friend of mine fucked his back up playing badminton, and it wasn't the actual playing that knackered it, it was constantly having to bend down to pick up the shuttlecock. Hadn't mastered the thing they do where they pick it up with the racquet yet.

Yeah, I've said that myself. If you're in the 6 yard box, then by definition, defences have to take account of you and their actions will be changed as a result. But equally, maybe the current rule is fine, and we don't need to completely change the rule because the Scousers have thrown their...

How old are you mate?
