    Sure they do. Knife crime, country going to the dogs, some soap star's miraculous weight loss.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    so a drop of 3% from last time. Hardly a disaster. Last 3 EU elections biggest party was around 25%. Be an achievement if the turnout gets much past 30%. Not a barometer for a General election. A low turnout actually a condemnation of the Remain vote. If EU so important to them then at least...

    Brian Richardson.

    Got messy as the Dutch company did some of the work. Went for payment but couldn't get paid. They found out we didn't actually own the British Gas land so they went straight to them and bought the land. Then apparently sold it on to the council for 20m who then straightaway sold 30 acres of it...

    Brian Richardson.

    Ricoh was a fantasist's dream project. Started without the proper financing in place or the land actually owned. Typical Richardson "we'll have a punt and see what happens".

    Sorry should have been clearer. If he gets taken up (fairly unlikely) then obviously could play straight away. But probably he is an extra player for the practice squad with an IPP exemption. Could be released and re-signed to play this season but would lose IPP status. Gray was in same...

    Being lined up as a kick returner and running back. Would have thought he'd have to bulk up a bit to be a running back though. He has to sit out games this year but is part of the full practice squad. He's done pretty well to get through the IPP selection.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    But once one leaves at least there is some sort of visible exit pattern. Not saying it's likely but many other EU countries in South and East far more politically volatile than UK. Shouldn't overlook a resistance against a feeling of being forced by larger states into a more integrated EU...

    But if a country like Hungary decides to leave puts a real spanner in the works due to location. Neighbouring 7 EU countries and Serbia. Major road transport route for EU importers from Asia via Turkey. As someone who was driving to Hungary a lot before 2004 believe wasn't easy crossing any of...

    Let's wait and see what the final outcome is. A reasonable deal and other countries in the future might find it more attractive and many would have a geographical advantage to put pressure on re: FOM etc. Countries seeing how difficult it is to leave particularly without clear Govt. Let's face...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not sure I see a deal atm. Think May could end up with a leadership challenge. Red lines vary on different areas. Eg putting up candidates in EU elections a red line for many MPs. May trying to tie up a deal which potentially hamstrings her successors redline for manyTory remainers and leavers...

    Making the assumption May deal is dead. The other soft Leave alternatives are becoming such in that will not appeal to Leavers, will sacrifice Parliamentary sovereignty in key areas (which nobody will like in the end), nobody is happy when you lose self determination without a voice...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    EU has to think longer term and in its own self-interest. They don't want it to be easy for states to leave - that's why there is no pre-prepared exit formula. They want to be able to say to States in the future "look how difficult, complicated etc it was for a big state to leave do you really...

    Going to be interesting. Salary cap increasing but value of TV contracts not (maybe even falling) due to low viewing figures. Teams will have to balance values of positions. Do they go all in on a QB or get a decent one but pay for the weapons or protection he needs? Teams already top heavy...

    Just seems to be heading to a basketball scenario where a few key players are taking up big% of budget and a lot of cheap padding around them. Like the recent draft pattern. Nearly all draftees will get signed and replace 3rd/4th year players who would be in line for pay increases.

    DEs moving into QB wages territory again. Lawrence getting 105m over 5 years from the Cowboys.

    So basically what Cameron tried to sell before Rees-Mogg and pals wanted a referendum. Even now only partly right. Could veto a long term budget but if they put a 1 year budget up until uk gone then it goes to QMV.

    Would have thought the key figure for all parties (particularly with a highly charged issue in the news) is the turnout - 37.1%.
