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

    I saw some people being racist the other day on Facebook. Was quite shocked as I hadn't seen it for decades; made me realise that I may live in a bubble. It wasn't anti-EU racism though - old fashioned 'your skin is a different colour' stuff.

    SISU

    Nobody is saying it's your fault; we were just pointing out that if you'd dived with you arm outstretched you'd have had a better chance of saving it.

    I tried my own protest

    Handy Diagram to help categorise Coventry City Fans

    I am similar. I'm often happy and know it but don't clap my hands. It's a pragmatic way to keep my job as people used to complain they couldn't concentrate.

    Bob Dylan Nobel Winner

    I don't mind his music - even like some of it - but I don't buy this 'genius poet' tag.

    Shared from BBC Sport

    Why won't sisu sell?

    I have some investments you can buy off me that will save you millions in exactly the same way*. Let me know if you're interested. * It works like this: You give me money; I never pay it back. You go ahead and realise all the benefits from the agreement exactly how you imagine SISU do.

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

    Economists now lining up to point out how flawed the EEC is. Yesterday was the turn of Otmar Issing, pointing out the same arguments I put here for leaving. Nirvana for me would be that Brussels reformed itself and we could remain in an EC that is not dysfunctional...
