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

    "It's perfectly reasonable to have the view that Remain should have won." Wasn't expecting that to be a Cummings quote.

    CONS + 3 :ROFLMAO: I joke but a lot of what he is saying was already known and has been ignored so not sure its really going to have much impact.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Why do so many people still talk about the countries economy as if it operates the same way as your personal credit card bill?

    From the Canadian side it seems pretty much a non-issue, they are more concerned with not doing anything to upset CETA. Although their farmers have certainly taken note that Australian farmers are getting tariff and quota free access to the UK market. Freedom of movement with Australia and...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Really hope we're not going to mess this up when we're on the brink of getting back to something approaching normal. The local lockdowns seem a complete shambles. Stuck on a government website on a Friday night and didn't think to let anyone in a position of authority in those areas know. Now...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    After the vote last night it seems we're now the only G7 country not to have backed Bidens plans to curb tax avoidance by large companies. The vote wasn't even to fully back it, just to have a review in the next six months to establish how it would affect the taxpayer.

    What's your political compass?

    I’ve given it serious consideration in the past but it’s just a wasted vote really so what’s the point.

    Grealish reaction

    He's spot on here. Annoys me how often you hear 'if he'd gone down it would have been a penalty'. Also this thing where any contact is a penalty, that's not what the rules for a foul are its supposed to be careless, reckless or using excessive force.

    What's your political compass?

    This is what they have on the site from the various parties policies at the last election in 2019.

    Well Done Leicester

    I think a Leicester team that potentially loses Maddison and has those three approaching retirement, although to be fair Schmeichel probably has a few years left, looks a very different prospect to the one they have now. Its not an easy task to stay at a level where you're pushing for trophies...

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

    In practice how will that work? The farming industry is saying that tariff free access both ways will in reality be of benefit to overseas farmers importing rather than our domestic industry exporting. They are saying imports coming into the country will be at a lower price than is achievable...

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

    But if the argument is that farmers here won't be able to compete on price with Asia Pacific farmers in our own domestic market how are we going to get it on sale over there at a viable price? Or is the suggestion that they will be happy to pay a premium because its labelled British?

    Well Done Leicester

    Weird though, why hound one of your best players out of the club. Grealish has got up to all sorts during covid but nobody says a word and Villa fans aren't blaming everything that goes wrong on him.

    Well Done Leicester

    He didn't have a bad game I not sure I agree he was hooked off. More likely he was only given 60 minutes as they're still easing him back in. He's only played one full game since injury hasn't he? Anyway if he's that much of a problem for them happy to have him back on loan next season :)

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

    If anyone thinks a bottle of Yellow Tail will be 20p cheaper in Tesco because of this they are an idiot. What's the thinking behind beef and lamb exports soaring? If its going to be comparatively too expensive to sell in the UK how is it going to be viable in Asia Pacific?

    Wouldn't be a terrible move for him IMO.

    Matty James

    This tends to change with what argument people are having. If anyone says SISU have done well to bring the club near to self sufficiency when we were losing millions a year its dismissed as incorrect but if anyone suggests SISU are keeping the club going by covering losses that's also dismissed...
