    Yes, her side of the bargain is supposedly that she will be contributing to Labour's housing policy, which she gave as the reason for leaving the Conservatives
  2. Westminster Politics

    I think the Labour party do want to help people and improve the country in a way that is not in the nature of Tories to assist with. They are however held to a different standard in terms of how they need to explain where money is coming from to fund schemes, so it will take time for the economy...

    Well he is edging, according to the press
  4. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    Our Solicitors are far more heavily regulated than in the US. The SRA has been making noise about being harder on solicitors who engage in SLAPPs and have published guidelines. I would suggest being aggressive in referring anything a person suspects might be a SLAPP to them for their view
  5. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    In the UK the prevailing party wins costs. There will be show cause hearings but it could be strung out over a long time and really cause a nuisance even if you will have most of your costs paid back in the end. In the US there are anti-SLAPP laws which are state level protections of the first...
  6. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    It's more akin to Johnny Depp and The Sun. They were found to be entitled to rely on untested evidence from AH to make definitive statements. We are entitled to rely on reporting from Der Speigel, and the CAS verdict for the facts which form our opinions

    CAS overturned based on time barring evidence, as you probably know. There was a statute of limitation on the offence so City got off on a technicality. People are entitled to their view about whether that means they cheated or not.. People cannot comment on criminal trials before the verdict...
  8. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    He's entitled to comment on the reporting from Der Speigel and the outcome of the UEFA investigation and the CAS ruling and the reporting of the 115 charges to form as strong an opinion as he likes. Its unethical to threaten people with civil action over widely available information. An...
  9. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    We don't live in a world where people can comment on things they read in Der Speigel without the threat of a life upending lawsuit by people with unlimited money? Why do you think that is?
  10. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    They are threatening a SLAPP. It's obviously a public interest topic that we're all entitled to engage in discussion over. City, as many pricks who have too much money do, think they can abuse the legal process to chill people's freedom of expression. Anyone who gets one of the letters should...
  11. Westminster Politics

    There should be a commitment from Labour to have a review into systemic racism and islamaphobia in the Labour party. There is always ways to improve and clearly there are failings at the moment
  12. Casemiro | 2023/24 Performances

    We'd take a steady eddy right now :lol:
  13. This is the bleakest it has been in my lifetime

    Sinking without a trace. No fight left in them
  14. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    If he has the name of their solicitor I'd report them to the SRA for infringement of his free speech rights
  15. Jude Bellingham | Real Madrid player

    Bellingham has scored a lot of last minute winning goals that has led to Real winning the league comfortably
