    Immigration (net nearly 1m annual)

    Ultimately that was a decision of the Cameron government to move to the current fee and loan model. Prior to that fees mainly paid by taxation through HEFCE/HEFCW/SHEFC with the top up fee from the Blair Government. Now only clinical and some engineering degrees get a tax-payer top up. Working...

    Immigration (net nearly 1m annual)

    That's not a good example as a single university which has a specialism and link to local industry (Birmingham and jewellery) but there are many courses and many universities. However, the majority of overseas students are in STEMM, clinical degrees or professional leaning subjects like law and...

    Scum Protest

    Better be careful what they wish for. The club owes Tan around £70million. He may want it back.

    On Radio 6 a lot. New stuff is a lot more commercial and less spiky.

    NFL 2024

    Indeed. The AFC looks stronger though. Would be brave to bet against Kansas City again.

    NFL 2024

    Hit the buffers rather. Still more than possible the entire NFC wildcards come from NFC North. Arguably Lions, Packers and Vikings are the best three teams in the NFC.

    Yaxley-Lennon

    Lemmings is the right word. People are so naive to be taken in by the populist BS on social media. Notice no-one has posts about the rise in deportation of illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers since Labour took power. They need to think who is actually pulling the strings behind the...

    Our Crowds

    Absolutely. All very proud. And yes. What a waste of the work post-Petty that the trust put in with the club. Along with greater success (and entertainment in the field). Feels like we are at best stuck or worse creeping backwards. It's a crying shame.

    Our Crowds

    Imagine that. The trust did so much to promote the club to kids pre-PL. Got a great photo from the Evening Post of my daughter with her face painted on one of the many kids for a quid games. Taken by Phil S I believe. She starts as a nurse in PICU at Bristol next week!

    Our Crowds

    Too easy to go for a big catering firm to serve rubbish for big shared profit. Look at Bristol City/Bears loads of local food and companies have outlets- Thatcher's, Jolly Hog, Bristol Beer Co. Stalls with loaded fries, local hot dogs, curry goat. Bristol Bears have won nothing yet get an...

    Winter fuel allowance could be removed for most pensioners to pay for triple lock

    Only one of the cabinet was educated privately-perhaps surprisingly Lou Haigh, though obviously Hilary Benn and Ed Miliband hardly come from 'usual' backgrounds. It does suggest people with ability from 'normal' backgrounds rather than Eton-educated. I would agree the lack of long-term...

    Winter fuel allowance could be removed for most pensioners to pay for triple lock

    I would liked to have retained Child Benefit. Nice few extra quid a month. But it rightly was means tested and I earn enough that it was not essential for me and my family. Yes, state pensions are low in the UK, but 'we' made the choice of a low tax society compared to similar countries in...
