the numbers don't lie; he has a little less than 20% support, or London voters are just completely ambivalent about him and every other mayoral candidate. He might be a decent person and some of his key policies have the right intention, but 20% is not a mandate. If there was an even remotely...

A large proportion of local elections have turnouts below 50%, quite a few parliamentary candidates are elected with turnout below 50%, so I'm not convinced that a NOTA majority would be that rare if there was mandatory voting. I think any new system would be clumsy, I also think any new system...

I think we've had this discussion before, even if you have compulsory voting with none of the above there still isn't a mechanism to take account of a majority none of the above vote, which is what has happened in London (and many other other elections(and Brexit)) other than re-running the...

He's won because the opposition candidate was an absolute shambles. Turn out was just 40%, he got just 43% of the turnout, less than 20% of Londoners want him as mayor. It's a damning indictment that the lib Dems and the greens got just a couple of percent of votes. 20% of the vote should not be...

He won because the principle opposition candidate was a absolute shambles. 40% turnout and he failed to get even half of that vote. He's clearly not popular or from the numbers, wanted as mayor but the nature of the uk election system and others minority candidates come out on top. I think it's...

Surprised that the lawyers for the interested parties didn't question Singh apart from one, thought they'd rip him a new one. They've generally been much less restrained then the enquiry lawyers.

Even worse, I have to imagine him with a quill scribbling incoherent messages. The horizon system must have seemed like complete hocus pocus to him

Been watching/listening this morning, apparently Singh didn't know in 2006ish how to save a file in his computer. How does someone that dimwitted qualify as a solicitor? I know he's lying about that but how does he think it's believable?

In my experience almost all large companies are run in a similar manner, and have equal levels of incompetence. I had one client a government owned but independently operated company that refused to pay about half our fees despite the fees being signed off by an agreed third party. We were...

Couple of games around the basque country: SD Eibar, decent second division side, FC Barakaldo a decent third division side with a very cool little stadium, then maybe one of the basque big boys, athletic, or real sociedad.

it has already happened, was it the year united were in the club world cup? wont surprise me to see a PL cup, maybe with a few invitees from the championship. the FA is killing itself by a thousand little cuts

Saw that, what a piece of work. Any normal functioning company manager wouldn't have had her running a stationary room, she was responsible for over a 100 branches, how was that possible she could barely string two coherent words together.

We'll see. However I'll add that the markets are no longer rational, so it's quite possible that Tesla will be one of those companies that is worth trillions and is a major stock pick right up to the day it falls off a cliff. Possibly like most of its self driving cars will do.

I saw a speech by wishy washy the other day saying that those with slight disability or illness could work, and companies can enable workers with special needs, changing how they work, or flexible hours, or home working the latter two is issues that Tories have come out against in a fairly big...

I'll counter that with the prediction that Tesla will either not exist in ten years time, or will have been absorbed into a Chinese entity and exist as a brand name only.

My biggest fear is the squad is a mix of good younger players with Norburnesque types, at the end of their lower EFleague careers, playing in a system thay suits nobody. Ruins the youngsters and the club struggles.

Across the whole squad yes. There were a couple of weak links player wise and one of the big differences was Critchley in the Covid season tended to use players in their best positions, or in positions or roles suited to their best ability. This season he's been very insistent on forcing players...

Dear Simon, Please appoint a proper manager. Yours PMEWWUR Pretty much everyone who watches us regularly

It's amazing just how often he was fouled and just how little protection he got from refs. I was watching the highlights from the Barnsley game and his little pass to Carey for the first goal despite being quite good was done whilst being body slammed by some heffer of a Barnsley defender...

We need a fit prolific goalscorer. And if critchley stays one that's capable of living off scraps of service or has the capability to create their own opportunities
