No, because they'd never be able to admit that a) they'd been that wrong in the first place b) they'd been played for fools c) that there is anything other than British exceptionalism and that the EU (or any other international bloc) will ever be better. They might just about say that this...

Got the money to look at bringing back imperial measurements though, which is of course one of the biggest barriers to us getting trade deals...

Just read that Root became the second English batman to reach 10,000 runs at EXACTLY the same age as the only other Englishman to do it, Alistair Cook. Weird.

While I sort of agree about the owners motives, a bit of long term thinking would tell you that it could end up meaning you have to put more in long term if you take sort term gains now. They saw that soon after taking over after they flogged the family silver for a quick gain and then spent a...

Losing Phillip has probably really taken a lot out of her. And having to deal with Boris on a weekly basis would be exhausting for anyone.

Yep. They need to learn there's a difference between patriotism and nationalism.

I think we need to look at it as the popularity of the queen as opposed to popularity of the monarchy. I'm no royalist but in recent years I've looked more sympathetically on the queen, probably because of her age. Even her paying Andrew's settlement hasn't really made me think other than let...

What about Brown, May and Johnson when they took over? Elected by the parties but not by the people. Surely if there is a leadership change there should be a GE? O are you going to argue that we vote for a party so therefore whoever they choose still counts. Which would therefore make the EU...

you're always going on about how Starmer needs to do things that will be popular with the British public. At this moment in time it's popular to support THE QUEEN, which he's doing. Had he come out saying 'abolish the monarchy' you'd be saying how he was tone deaf and out of touch with what the...

What she means is: I want to look like I'll put the party above myself but the second he gets ousted I'm throwing my hat in the ring.

Perhaps they should have started with that HS2 bulldozer he was going to lay down in front of... We all know in reality he'd be at the back of that group willing to let anyone else get trampled before he did.

Just interested to know if you think if the Tories focused on economic strength and concern on lending would that be a vote loser for them? Or is it just a perception thing based on ingrained thoughts on economic competence which no longer really apply? Surely this appeals to voters more likely...

Got me wondering about our links to Plange (and a couple of other Palace lads have been mentioned too as rumours)

Why would we sell him for less to a rival? If he's worth more don't sell him to clubs that can't afford him.

Would be cutting it a bit fine in finding a replacement before the transfer window shut ;)

They just love the club so much, and only that can break your heart.

If we wanted the entire fee up front, maybe not. If we'd be getting it in installements I think we'd get that much, and some add-ons as well.

I'd have been surprised if we weren't given our geographical location.

Looking at it, i agree. They should be the same colour as the body.

So the vast majority of those of employment age and younger won't have a knowledge of how to use it, yet those older have had the best part of 50 years to get used to the metric system, which is a lot more intuitive to scale up and down. Then there's the massive cost of changing it all over...
