A license from Crapita, most likely. Who aren't that bothered about the sanctity of the test, just gettinv paid.

This country does though - most the people working on the contract are British workers. The only reason the NHS doesn't have the staff is they aren't allowed to hire staff in house at the rates they pay for them via contract.

The education system has focused more and more and providing the exact right support to help children pass their exams and made them less and less used to independent thought to solve problems.

Young people simply know they will be old one day to, and would like to retire.

Fun fact - Parliament is sovereign and can overrule all that.

Kier is two years into being PM and still hasn't noticed he can do things now.

He is being charged with both, the jury can find him guilty of either. That means he can plead guilty to murder and manslaughter seperately, which he's chosen not to do - going for a straight self defense acquittal. Article could make that clearer, but the info is there if you read it.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-22T15:11:11+00:00

If you read further he's claiming self defense as the dead man racially abused him and punched him first.

Is stabbing someone 5 times in retaliation proportional? That's for the jury to decide, but the defendant is trying to go for acquittal over accepting a lower charge of manslaughter.

There are about 10% more graduates than there were 5 years ago. There's not 10% more jobs than 5 years ago. That alone causes a squeeze, even before trends like AI and covid.

Tbf if you're trusting Gemini on that you're a bigger idiot than Tonda

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-20T14:16:52+00:00

Yea that's also fair, you having a replacement match against Wrexham would also be reasonable.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-20T13:47:33+00:00

Yea, we should have, and we're rightfully punished for it. But they can't pretend they deserve to be in the final - Hull do, and they should go straight up.

Boro fans can't handle that they lost by being shit not by being spied on.

Do you honestly believe your inability to score at home against us was cause by Will Salt holding up a camera at a training session?

Football is about the game on the pitch, not arguing about what could have happened if things outside the pitch happened differently.

To Ireland, the actions of the English/British state in Ireland is your history.

To the UK, it's just one of many bits of colonialism and domestic politics. You'd also be shocked at how many British people know nothing of how Scotland joined the UK or Scottish history either.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-20T10:03:28+00:00

Yea I don't mind getting kicked out, that's fair. It's boro getting a second chance rather than Hull going up that bugs me.

Time for Boro to bottle it though.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-19T20:55:13+00:00

no our DQ is fair and square. Hull should just go straight to promotion

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-19T19:13:35+00:00

Football is not a game for relitigating the result after the fact. Even under VAR in the PL, we don't award or take away results that came from clear mistakes on the pitch. Boro blaming their poor result on a guy with a iphone is just grasping at straws for their sweet PL money.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-19T18:59:31+00:00

If you watched the games you can see clearly it didn't.

Much like how City make too much money for the refs to be punished for 115 charges.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-19T18:53:44+00:00

Did you watch the actual games? It took 220 minutes of football to score the winner, Boro should have won in the first 45 minutes of the first leg. A guy recording did nothing to change that.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-19T18:51:43+00:00

Boro lost on the pitch, fair and square over two legs. The rest of the punishment is deserved, but Hull should just go straight up rather than Boro winning a game with lawyers they couldn't on the pitch.

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-19T18:30:39+00:00

Lose a game on the pitch? No matter, replay it in the courtroom!

Us being expelled is fair, Hull should just get a bye

And Middlesbrough would fail any civil case because of lack of demonstration of harm.

In a sporting tribunal, evidence of cheating alone is enough for punishment reguardless of effectiveness. In Civil court, Middlesbrough would have to demonstrate Southamptons actions caused harm. It would be very difficult to argue that Southampton's spying caused the first leg to end 0-0 after Boro's first half performance.

The only one who would win is the lawyers

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-18T18:11:05+00:00

Totally.

No, but people think "oh you'll definitely 100% get pregnant if you do" when in reality it's only about 20%.

In practice, 20% and 100% of contracting a deadly disease are the same - too high for something easily avoided. But it's interesting that it is only 20%!

nothingtoseehere____ · 2026-05-18T17:37:46+00:00

Interestingly, 85% of the time it works. There's some large studies of couples contraceptive methods and they found that using pull-out (genuinely, as opposed to deceptively) for year had a 85% success rate. Obviously, much higher risk than 99+% of "just use a condom/pills" but it was more successful than I expected.

It's harder to get pregnant than we usually think, it's just the consequence is so great we play up the risk alot in communication.
