    And local shops, pubs, bars and cafes get all the business from the thousands of workers that come in most working days. It's also a generalisation to say that the finance being processed by the city is just going to the rich. The city is no.1 in the world for trade finance and insurance. They...

    The City of London's GDP passed £100 billion for the first time, in 2023 (£110.8 billion, up from £99.3 billion in 2022), putting it equivalent to entire national economies such as Slovakia or Morocco. It remains one of the most concentrated areas of economic output in the world. London as a...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham...Thursday Night In Frankfurt

    Yeah I mean downplaying the City game in particular, we beat them at home and went toe to toe with them away. Yeah we rode our luck. You don't get to a final of a competition featuring teams of that calibre without a hefty dose of luck.

    So, what happened today?

    Equalities legislation allows discrimination. You don't have to create a perfect society. Plenty of examples of effective discrimination being tolerated. If you want to be a fire fighter, the requirement to physically be able to lift a dead-weight fully grown adult onto your shoulders and...

    So, what happened today?

    Doesn't leave them anywhere. Supreme court judges made it clear that although references to sex in equalities legislation referred to biological sex, the equalities act protected trans people from discrimination. I.e.: A man, a woman and a trans woman apply for a job. All x3 have got to be...

    So, what happened today?

    This isn't really about the risk of abuse (which is very small). It's about women feeling safe when in a "woman only" space or being able to fairly compete in sport against other biological women only.

    So, what happened today?

    100%. This was not a fight on behalf of trans people, it was a desire to pick a public fight with WM and attempt to create a constitutional crisis by having WM take the unprecedented step of intervening to block the Scottish Parliament thus presenting the SNP with the perfect "this why...

    So, what happened today?

    Yep it was a really poorly thought out piece of legislation and suspect was more about a desire on Sturgeon's part to differentiate herself from the "nasty right wing" UK govt and make case that Scotland needed to be independent to have a moral compass than a desire to write good law. Some of...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham...Thursday Night In Frankfurt

    Dier played a lot of games in DM alongside Dembele that season and the season before. Dier was an underrated part of the dynamic of that team in dropping into a 3 at the back when Walker and Rose bombed forward. The other thing about that team was how huge they were think Eriksen, Lamela, and...

    Moussa Dembele glued the Poch team together. Absolute monster of a footballer. That ability to just take the ball off the defence, hold off pressing opposition players while just gliding past them and then wang a pass into Eriksen, Kane, Son or Dele was the cornerstone of that team.

    Yep. Heat pump boilers are another case in point. They are extremely expensive compared to gas boilers and they are not actually much more efficient when you take account of the fact they work by taking air and heating it, therefore their efficiency actually decreases as the air temperature...

    It's an interesting thing isn't it? Greta, bless her, does make some valid points around "false accounting" around government green/renewable energy strategy. "We're green because we don't allow mining here, we just import all the raw materials from Ecuador, Venezuela and Brazil instead where...

    Putin & Russia

    I'm right in terms of what's happening, but it wasn't investment advice, most of the investment into Russia will be from countries not applying western sanctions. The wider point is that chaos in the west is driving non-western investors out of the west (Europe and US) and into arms of Russia...
