    Full recount in Coventry apparently.

    Well if the pattern plays out Conservatives will be just shy of losing 500 councillors and possibly only win one Mayoral election. That would be a thumping to dispell any notion of a Conservative revival.

    The technology thread

    I think in hindsight the issue was that Tesla wanted to make electric cars all singing and dancing, rather than just affordable. There are other issues as well such as infrastructure, but if there is demand that will be fixed. Until electric cars are as cheap as petrol it's always going to put...

    Lol, Conservatives won the Tees Valley Mayor election because the guy basically ran as an independent in all but name making 0 reference to Sunak in his campaign and they are bigging it up as a win for the Conservative government. Still amazed Sunak took on this poisoned chalice. Wonder if it...

    I'd say the majority of voters vote to keep out either Labour or Conservatives. Realistically with our system those 2 parties are the only ones with a chance of power.

    The Movie Thread

    I think if you made KOTOR, then you don't worry about the reveal being a surprise, but try to get the audience to invest in the characters so that when the reveal happens it is very emotional. I never felt like the game made it a huge surprise anyway, there were so many clues. I think if they...

    2023-2024 transfers

    Actually at first I thought it was like 7/8/9 years, but now it's more like 4/5/6, which doesn't seem as long. Where has this decade gone?

    2023-2024 transfers

    29/30 is huge though.

    Should substitutions be banned.

    I still say if the scrum is stable for say 3-5 seconds then a penalty is automatically removed and the maximum that can be awarded is a freekick. This way only cynical collapses immediately are penalised and weaker teams have more incentive to scrum properly to avoid a penalty.

    Should substitutions be banned.

    My logic is that tired players would lead to more gaps at the end of the game, so more chance for exciting finishes.

    Just to clarify, but the EU has been trying to deter 'illegal migration' for years throw extremely dodgy means. In Sudan that funded the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) which are the group responsible for the war crimes in Darfur and are currently fighting the civil war with the army...

    Another point, is the fact that the home office is so incompetent there is a huge back log in asylum applications. Maybe if we had a better system in place we wouldn't have people waiting for years for a decision. Further, in the UK (unlike many other countries) asylum seekers are not allowed to...

    I mean, if 13 years isn't long enough to plan and allocate resources then I don't know what is. You are right that these resources take time and planning, but if the UK is allowing 1.2 million migrants in a year legally and it can't provide for all of them, then again surely that is a problem...

    I was, but it took some time to gather the facts and evidence. There are social issues, but nothing for me that can't be solved. Yes there are intolerant people on both sides who refuse to try and coexist peacefully. I taught plenty of foreign born children whose parents (especially the mums)...

    And Britain is rife with uncontrolled immigration? Let's see the latest stats in June 2023 were that 1.2 million people entered the UK for that year (they seem to go from June to June for some reason), 508,000 left the uk, so total net migration was 672,000. Now illegal migration was 52,530...

    So what other factors are there? In terms of homes, hospitals, schools etc...well you said it yourself. That's a government failing, not an immigration failing. It's a bit ridiculous to say the issue is immigration when actually it's government incompetence.

    You realise that immigration benefits economies right and that most immigrants add more to the economy than they take out. Post Brexit, immigration goes up, because it's needed economically. Italy elects a far right government, immigration goes up. It's all smoke a mirrors to galvanise a base...

    Here's a different take. There isn't a migration issue at, there is a political and media narrative to make it an issue when it's not.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 16

    Said in other thread, he's in real danger of tarnishing his legacy.

    He's really going to have a tarnished legacy at this rate
