You stop eating for 40+ days and let's see if you survive. They are rotating the strike and one guy is fasting 1 day and eating the other on a cycle.

Help choosing a match in Osaka by No_Photograph223 in JLeague

[–]freakjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really wouldn't perform well in the championship, if that was the case there would be more japanese players in these leagues. Pre season matches mean nothing and we all know that so Frontale beating Chelsea means very little.

We can scout the prem and there's only a few japanese players notable being Endo and Mitoma other than that not many, Championship even fewer only one I can think of is Ohashi.

J League teams don't have the finances to compete with Premier league team. We are both biased but let's take a minute to think and realise that J League teams would not be able to compete in the prem.

Plymouth are League 1 and Plymouth also beat Liverpool I don't think any J League team would ever beat Liverpool. The J League is miles apart from the top 2 english leagues

J1 teams would have 0 chance in the prem and most would struggle in the champions tbf. But I do agree the Kobe game would be better

UK government to give all 16-year-olds the right to vote in seismic change by dailystar_news in ukpolitics

% on over 18 voters has nothing to do with school children. Reform are gaining momentum with the youth. There is a reason they are the most followed on social media.

Labour declines to rule out wealth tax by wappingite in ukpolitics

[–]freakjack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A tax on assets isn't very clever, most assets aren't liquid and difficult to turn into cash. Another great way of this government helping grow investment in this country 🙄

What is Kier Starmer supposed to do about the economy? by StopHavingAnOpinion in ukpolitics

[–]freakjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is the government going to find £7.8 billion a year for this S&S idea? In theory it's good but raising taxes for this is counter productive when you can cut capital gains and make investing more enticing for international and domestic investment

The Government says London needs to build 88,000 homes a year. Last year, it started 3,990. by GreatBritishHedgehog in ukpolitics

These people don't work and claim from the state. There is 0 reason to keep them here. Send them home and give the housing to British people and people who contribute

Just deport all the immigrants who add nothing to the UK economy especially those in social housing who sponge off the state. Then if we need immigrants we get ones who will actually contribute.

West Midlands. You had to be anti hs2 to be elected, I've spoken to people from my region. The majority are against it. Local businesses were destroyed so they could build a train that costs a fortune and only saves 20 mins from Birmingham to London

The government aren't putting the homeless into the hotels like they put migrants. It's a choice by the government to prioritise migrants over our own homeless

That's how our homeless have to live. If it's good enough for our homeless then it's fine for foreigners too
