Re: President Trump and US politics catchall
20% on goods from EU 10% for UK Sounds like a trade deal to get it to 0% is in fairly easy reach..UK will have to drop the digital services tax but that's a daft idea anyway..

Ford was pretty bloody good at the end wasn't he? I think he's being quietly brilliant for a while. Long term the Smiths are probably better options but would not at all upset if he was starting at ten.

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread
That’s a good reminder, if anyone needed one before tomorrow, of why every England side has to respect a trip to Wales.

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread
Agree the ref was appalling. Felt England were incredibly one dimensional though. Getting one of the big uns to run hard at the 10-13 channel didn't work. Wales knew exactly what was coming and flooded the contact area with tacklers. There was no attempt to attack the fringes or out a kick in behind...

Good example of why we need a high capacity grid:

Fwiw I have no problem with a regional pricing scheme that rewards places for adding power generation to the grid

Just caught up on Sweeney using the Woman's win % to bump the overall % and get his bonus.
I mean it's kind of appropriate if we really must treat the women's game as being a equivalent in every respect for the mens. I hope the girls are making 20k a game and get six figure salaries from their clubs.

Politicians don't have answers to difficult ageing population and labour supply problems so opening the border to foreign labour is a salve. The problem is they get old and bring dependants and it just snowballs the problem.

Japan's conditioning and techniques for taking the ball into contact does look sharp. Good body positions and leg drive.
