David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 29/09/2026tbh i wouldn’t have any issue with removing u23s from the concept of quotas at all and certainly don’t wish him badly. But at some point the league has to co-align with the national team. That’s the way it works everywhere else. 010
David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 29/09/2026depends on which age group. if you play for a national team after you turn 17 you are tied to that country. The issue isn’t him, it’s the proliferation of players who can’t play for GB taking up local player slots. 100

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 18/09/2026ok. but would there actually be sufficient money to run political parties in that situation? would that be a good or bad thing? Is there not a better argument for each party to be publically funded with a flat amount? 110

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 23/08/2026even if that’s true (which it certainly isn’t in newcastle) it’s viewed as a badge of honour up here. 120
David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 15/08/2026i don’t agree. these alerts are regular features in the US, particular in relation to potential weather events. I think the dangers are there and it was worthwhile 100
David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 15/08/2026if the aim was to raise awareness and visibility it’s paid off 100%. Social media demonstrates this 100
David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 11/08/2026it shifts the concept of early release to one of punishment for crime as opposed to risk management. Up until now early release has been denied to defendants where victims are still alive and understandably fearful. If it moves to a gravest harm test isn’t that double counting? 000
