    The Manchester United Thread

    I know this debate isn't relevant to the thread at the moment, but I'll just add to this that every economic study of which I'm aware shows immigration has an overwhelmingly positive impact on public finances. Immigrants tend to come here to work when they're young fit and able, and require the...

    The UK Politics Thread

    I see your point, companies are treated as people by American law. I think they'd have to reform their constitution to change things. There are countries way more libertarian than America, they just like to think they are. They've eroded most of their liberties over the past 50 years. Canada...

    Most shareholders are pretty against cash hoarding and a reluctance to invest. It's not £100m that'd never be seen again. It's £100m into an asset. He would add significant value via - hopefully - improved team performances. On pitch success is by far the biggest factor in the share price...

    Wars often make great distractions for unpopular leaders. What? Crimea? Gaza? A lot of people would also like to argue that every war committed in the middle east by the west has been motivated by oil. For as long as populations continue growing and resources remain finite - humans will...
