Legalise vandalising these vehicles !

Stop interfering in the competitive free market.

Focus on governing to facilitate positive sustainable changes for our town and city centres.

CLUE:
❌ retail
✅ Residential

Which ironically slows down the rate at which said society gets richer, meaning it can never reach 1

You'd have thought this might be a good time to maintain our still outsized global influence. But apparently not.

Not having a clubcard is objectively stupid

Yeah but you try closing a small local pub/shop/sports club and they'd be straight on the bandwagon.

Plenty of bandwidth for nonsense.

"Friends"?

No, that's not possible.

Probably cheaper to just issue them on request rather than getting bogged down in case by case assessment and negotiation.

Why wouldn't you want as much grit as possible on the roads and footpaths.

Players can and do say no to transfers.

Perhaps he believed he would be good enough to get into the team.

Perhaps the £ was too attractive to say no to.

Whatever has gone on, the player appears to have made a poor choice.

"if he's what you want/need then you'll have to pay and if he isn't then you won't" seems perfectly fair enough to me.

The player should've run a mile from any such agreement though. "I'm not signing up to a season long trial" would've been my response.

It's more likely to snow on Easter Sunday than Xmas day (in the UK)

I can see 1 good reason for its use - it's a far more meaningful proxy for "did we play well?" than the alternative i.e. the musings of a biased and potentially not very bright coach with an imperfect & selective memory, who invariably has ulterior motivations for what he or she says.

This is a massively dumb way to fund things. Just fund local government properly through fiscal devolution, council tax reform, and social care reform. Oh, wait, you ducked all of those again....

Hmm, is it?

Comparing a place which is "well located" and in the EU with another place which is neither?

And most of the reasons cited for the former doing so well are EXACTLY the kind of things that Telegraph constantly campaigns against if anyone tries to do them here!

I agree.

Her boss doesn't though.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Isn't this in some part because the electorate gets larger with each election

I can't imagine a job i'd like to do less. Managing an organisation held to a ludicrous standard by roaring idiots on a daily basis, while the main mediums it uses are all in decline and it's starved of resources.

There have been 263 UK prisoners released in error over the last year, but apparently it's only newsworthy when they happen to be a non-UK national.

Offenders are not more dangerous by virtue of being 'foreign'.

Media outlets need to stop helping the far-right poison our discourse with xenophobia.

There should be a tax on ridiculously bloated road boats registered in urban areas, because (a) they cause obvious problems in such areas (b) they are bad for the environment (c) they are dangerous for children (d) they are awful, and driving them should be expensive and socially stigmatised.

The hypocrisy of Reform going on TV to allege that certain groups are constantly over represented on TV is truly epic.

You won't

Police need to do their job, banning away fans whoever they are is just a cop-out, no pun intended.

Or alternatively, ban them all cos they all have violent thugs.

One or t'other.

AFAIK it's happened once only previously and that's not a justification for it happening again. If it was, it could happen for every game.

You're obviously in favour of allowing our police to unilaterally decide elements of their job are too hard and they can just decide not to bother.

There are innumerable clubs who have groups of supporters who are capable of creating chaos - Macabbi are no worse than many.

If WMP's ban is fair, then quite a few other clubs should get similar treatment.

We'll see if that happens.

'We should just take the police's word for it"

If it weren't for countless incidents that the police have fucked up and then covered up I'd be tempted to take that point seriously.

We should trust our police but never unquestioningly - especially when they are refusing to carry out a core duty.

Of course, we could largely eliminate violence at all football matches thereby freeing up significant police resources by imposing blanket bans of away supporters.

But that would not be the actions of a free country.

I recognise that most matches - domestic and European - have potential for disorder, but that our police forces have always previously deemed themselves capable of discharging their obligations to ensure public safety at matches and should continue to do so. It's their job.

I'm not doubting that there are plenty of violent thugs who follow Macabbi.

My point is that 2nd city derbies are at least as hard and probably harder to police than 1000 Macabbi fans.

Yet they always go ahead.

IMO this is WMP bottling it.
