    The LABOUR position is campaign remain in a 2nd ref (although it's being whispered rather than shouted). Corbyn's personal position I admit I don't know. But it's the party policy that matters. As for whether that will result in remain is another point because as they say it's 2nd ref and abide...

    Shipley and Westbrooke combine well. Kelly has to play as the anchor. O'Hare's best/most effective games for us were as a sub. So like you say we either: try him instead of baka (don't think he's big enough or suited to it as he likes to get at people, plus he made an even worse miss than baka...

    Or at the very least not allow anyone not registered with the club on the day of the original game to play.

    In what respect? Fans going to games? Worldwide audience? Income? Transfer fees? Wages?

    Although I agree that a turnover based tax can be a problem in terms of liquidity for some businesses (although in the digital age it is relatively easy to set up auto transfers so the tax element could be ringfenced in a separate account by transferring the % of any money in) the problem with...

    It does seem odd that if he won the first debate he would be reluctant to do another. Seems to be a thing with Tory leaders refusing to do debates. Surprised Dom hasn't changed his chicken meme to reflect this.....

    I'll go for a 1-1 draw. I'd prefer if the 3 ex Sky Blues didn't play due to the superstition regarding previous players doing well against you. _________Marosi ___Hyam__Fadz__Rose Dabo__Walsh_Kelly__Mason ____Zain_______Shipley _________Baka Subs: Wilson, Watson, Drysdale, O'Hare, Allen...

    So you're an economist with all the relevant data, algorithms etc at your disposal and have done all the sums yourself I trust. In which case no doubt I, everyone on this thread and more than likely everyone in the country would be itching to see your sums and conclusions.

    Then in that case it would have to be not voting. During the debate Corbyn said 3 months negotiating a new deal then another referendum in 6 months with that deal and Remain as the choices (so chances are effectively soft Brexit or no brexit given the stance of many in the Labour party). Now...

    As I said in a further post they need talking with a massive pinch of salt. I just said they weren't totally without value. Quite a few of those polls were clearly overly influenced by certain political factions. Personally I had Corbyn just scraping a points decision so on that personal basis...

    Weren't you of the generation before tuition fees? As well as grants and the ability to sign on as a student? I may have just made an assumption as to your age but I only just missed out on the free higher education stuff. I of course accept that there were fewer courses available at the time...

    In the debate Julie said to Alexander "have you found the magic money tree?" then turned to Corbyn and said "and have you found two?" I think Corbyn could have turned to her and said it's the Tories that need two money trees not us - one to pay for their spending plans and another to cover the...

    I didn't debate as to whether it would be successful, I said that that was the party position and that it has been stated a number of times. That was the point of the answer. Astute asked why aren't we being told what Labour will be doing. We are - it's just a different position from the...

    That doesn't mean they have no legitimacy. Of course everything has to be taken with a large pinch of salt - you have to consider that there will be activists from all sides being told to get on these polls and vote for them (or even bots). But the same is true of the YouGov poll - those...

    'Boris' has charisma. Corbyn on the whole doesn't. That is why he is ahead. We live in an age of celebrity and look at the vacuous numpties that fill up airtime and have millions of social media followers. Why do they have so many yet people with good ideas and intelligence have none? Why should...

    C'mon. Your rebuttal is that you quoted one of the polls mentioned, incidentally the one with few respondents and the only one that had 'Boris' winning?
