bath based. grumpy and fed up with people and companies providing misinformation.























Which professions are dominated by the privately educated? We've repeatedly highlighted the problems with elitism in sectors like the media, politics, and sport. Here are the most & least representative professions (in terms of education backgrounds) ⬇️ elitistbritain.suttontrust.com


Grappling at corners was rife during the early stages of the 2018 World Cup, including during England’s games with Tunisia and Colombia. Fifa acted, instructing refs and VAR to crack down on the holding and pulling. It helped for a while. Wrestling in the Premier League, and attempts to crowd out the keeper, risk becoming an epidemic, and inevitably increased with more focus on set-piece goals. It's spoiling the spectacle for many. Officials need to get a grip of the grapplers. If that means more penalties awarded or free-kicks for baulking the keeper ... so be it. The issue will be consistency of application.





A fine example of OPM (Other People's Money) impacting decisions. An XR councillor thinks, “Hey, we could put a turbine on that river and it would power the lights in the Guildhall FOR FREE". Then somehow they get approval to spend £1.85 million of my cash on consultants.
