@dontdelay @InstituteGC Make young people now look forward to living in poverty when they are old, that's what I'm hearing.

@warleybaggie @InstituteGC Give us more. You can just take more from your kids later. That’s what I’m hearing.

Pension spending must be contained, and that means the triple lock cannot continue after the next Election. But that should only be the first step. Real reform must also build a better system: one that is fairer, more flexible, and designed for how people live today.

@dontdelay @InstituteGC Also this fails to account for the fact the women used to get the pension at 60 and men at 65. Now it is 67 for men and women, and in the future that age will rise further.

@dontdelay @InstituteGC Future young people will pay more to current young people, that's how it works. The idea this is an unbearable amount is a myth. The UK is well below the OECD & EU average, none of whom have gone into crisis. State pension is not high, you should try living on £241-30 a week.

@dontdelay @InstituteGC No. The two are separate. The second makes sense so that young people now can have a good retirement. The former is a question of perspective, after all the current pensioners or those nearer retirement were paying for those older than them that have now passed away.

@warleybaggie @InstituteGC Wouldn’t that mean younger workers have to pay more current pensioners state pensions AND more for their own workplace pensions ?

@Kirsten_Tanis1 @ggabefootball @BarroomNetwork Hill, Diggs, Samuel, Jennings, Hopkins, Allen - there's some interesting big names out there, but I suspect a young player is more likely.

@ggabefootball @BarroomNetwork I feel like they are going to sign another vet WR on a one year deal. Raymond was a nice add, but that room feels thin for vet depth Ben usually carries 6 WR on his offense, inclusive of KR/PR

#Bears skill position players likely to be in camp.

@_ChrisLepkowski @TheMapReader @conradchircop In hindsight I don't suppose Barnsley felt they did too badly considering the very large compensation and he didn't last too long at Albion.

@warleybaggie @TheMapReader @conradchircop Clubs generally sound out the manager and/or his representatives before anything else. The permission from club stuff is largely just procedural. Most clubs will know if a manager is keen by that point. All about sorting out compensation.

"West Bromwich Albion Football Club has a proud history of fighting injustice and I join them in their anger at this decision..." #WBAFC #WBA

@TheMapReader @_ChrisLepkowski @conradchircop I believe we approached Barnsley beforehand for permission to speak to him about the job and afterwards paid them very decent compensation. Does that qualify as a poach?

@warleybaggie @_ChrisLepkowski @conradchircop Valerian Ishmael was 'poached.'

@_ChrisLepkowski @conradchircop Youngsters - we get poached from above and we poach those below in the 'pecking order', though it does feel like it happens more to us than by us, but I'm not sure if the statistics bear that out.

@warleybaggie @conradchircop And there have been plenty of kids we have taken as part of the process. These things are standard. Just doesn't get reported as it isn't that interesting, and is quite a common process

@_ChrisLepkowski @conradchircop Mowbray 1st time round from Hibernian, good point. Di Matteo poached from MK Dons to replace Mowbray when he was poached by Celtic, yes. Attempted ones that didn't happen I didn't include. Ramsay was a poach too? We had a long run of managers who were not current managers.

@warleybaggie @conradchircop Mowbray and RDM both approached via this way, as was Irvine (albeit he wasn't a manager of efc). We also did same much earlier for Wile, Greaves, O'Neill (first 2 said no, the third didn't happen as club went for Ardiles). Happens a lot - the usual process when someone is in situ

@_ChrisLepkowski @conradchircop Looking back through all of Albion history I do not think we have ever poached a manager. Youngsters I'm not so sure.

@conradchircop Really not sure about some of those Conrad... you really don't think we have poached youngsters or managers over the years? Happens everywhere

@For_Film_Fans Superb

My favourite Movie of all time. A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (1946) Powell & Pressburger’s masterpiece.

@Number10cat England & Wales: 522 victims of homicide YE Mar 2025. 566 victims of homicide YE Mar 2024. 522 is the lowest since YE Mar 2015 (504). 205 knife/sharp instrument homicides YE Mar 2025. 261 knife/sharp instrument homicides YE Mar 2024. 205 is the lowest since YE Mar 2015 (186).

Lots of accounts on this site are financially rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides in England and Wales are their lowest level in five decades and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level

@supersonicade @JVMonte2 The album Discovery (clue in the name) had some disco "influenced" songs, pretty much unlike any of their other albums and this song most of all came nearest to being a full on disco genre song.

@warleybaggie @JVMonte2 Tbf I reckon that's stretching the genre a tad... (unless you're joking!)

What disco song are you not embarrassed to admit you like?
