How much is the nation going to piss away because Keir Starmer is mates with Phillipe Sands? |

I thought he did OK in spells yesterday, but Ronald just hasn't done enough in recent games, or indeed for most of the season to justify the automatic starting berth he has at the moment.
I find the criticism Franco is currently taking to be distasteful, but it seems obvious to me that Yalcouye has earned a start based on his recent appearances off the bench. My thoughts on Cullen are well known.
If players who do well off the bench aren't rewarded for that with starts in subsequent games then there's not much point in them doing well off the bench. |

This is a huge story on social media yet the only appearance of it on the BBC is a 19 hour old puff piece about him being a "pro Democracy" advocate. |

Cullen isn't a natural goal scorer. He misses far more straightforward chances than he buries. What he does do is come up with the occasional important goal, when then somehow makes people forget how little he contributes otherwise.
Whether Cullen is settled in Swansea or not should have little bearing on whether the club keeps him. If we've got serious ambitions of exiting the division in an upwards direction it'll be a miracle if we're doing it with him as even a regular player off the bench, never mind starter.
Some people may think I'm being harsh on him and perhaps I am, but for me he's in the same file as Oli Cooper. Another player that people thought was worth keeping around because "he gives his all" and scored the odd goal. |

There is a clear and legally recognised difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion.
Tax avoidance is using legal means and loopholes to reduce the amount of tax owed. People who buy duty free do this. A lot of online shopping used to be covered by a "de minimis" rule when it came to import duty, something being slowly phased out.
Tax evasion is dodging tax owed when there are no legal reasons or exemptions allowing for such. If you've ever paid a tradesman cash in hand, you've almost certainly been a party to it. |

At the moment it's hard to imagine #10 being anything other than a real life version of that Simpson's scene of Sideshow Bob continually stepping on rakes.

It's not even that. I've spoken to serious lefties who see no reason why doctors should earn more than typists. A system where everyone is equal. Which then begs the question as to why anyone would bother training up to be a doctor.
A lot of people have absolutely convinced themselves that the reason why Musk et al are so rich is because they have somehow "taken" from others, as if wealth is a finite resource. Musk became rich by providing services that people want. He employs hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom have also become multi-millionaires as a result. Both he personally, his businesses and employees pay tens of billions a year in taxes.
A system that creates the likes of Elon Musk is a system that works. |

Hard work isn't the only ingredient, but it helps.
You have to have a system that rewards effort and success or nobody will bother. That's why full on Socialist economies always, ALWAYS end up failing. |

Innit. The greedy, thieving Socialist mindset in action. Someone does well in life, so they should be punished for it. "I want what he's got".
For all their railing about "greed" and "fairness", there is nothing more avaricious than a leftie. [Post edited 27 Dec 12:24]

The problem with taxing assets that most Socialists are simply too stupid to grasp is that to pay tax on an asset, in the vast majority of cases the asset has to be sold. This is the case for small family farms just as much as it is for Elon Musk.
Someone who inherits a farm worth, say, £5m, even at the reduced rate will have to find £1m for the tax bill. More tax than most of the people whining about "fair share" will pay in their entire lives.
A levy on the income if the farm is eventually sold? Maybe that would be workable. That would then be a profit on the inheritance. A straight inheritance tax? Financially idiotic policy. [Post edited 27 Dec 11:10]

Melker at ten until we find someone better. Yalcouye has earned a start based on his last few sub appearances. Franco to the bench. Inoussa needs the run of games that Ronald is getting.
Cullen to the bench. And then off on loan somewhere. |

Got the skills to play centrally but not the pace to play out wide.
Be keen to see him get a start in the slot that Cullen and Widell seem to be sharing at the moment. |

Decent start. Probably had the best chance so far overall (first time Vipi mun!). Coventry do look dangerous on the counter.
Mentality going to be a factor today I think. |

For sure. That was the reason we knocked it on the head in the first place. It was an expense that arguably couldn't be justified given the ongoing cash flow problems that the club was facing at the time.
Now things have settled down and we appear to be in the same, long term subsidy pile as basically every other club at this level, if they're prepared to cover the cost at least in the short term with an eye on it ultimately becoming self funding then it's a no brainer. |
