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

    Where have you given your opinion rather than paste links from others? Its a simple question. There is a published EU position paper which shows their basis for calculating what is owed by the UK and what is due to the UK. What specific points in that do you think aren't correct?

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

    The UK is a guarantor to loans made by the EIB while we are members. Once we leave the EU we will also leave the EIB and won't have any further liability. The money that has already been paid out by the UK will be reimbursed once the loans are settled. If a recipient country defaults we share...

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

    Reading the EU's position paper what they are asking doesn't seem unreasonable. The difficultly is we haven't published our own so its hard to compare and obviously its dealing with things that none of us are experts on. Don't really have a problem with them not giving a fixed figure given the...

    They are refusing to accept refugees. The point you made was about migrants posing as refugees, they have no entitlement to stay in the UK or any other EU country. Its a problem we have created by bombing countries such as Syria with no plan on what to do with innocent civilians displaced by...

    Exactly. In work benefits have gone through the roof in recent years as people in employment aren't earning enough to live on. That's while large corporations take huge profits. When the living wage, which is actually just the minimum wage rebranded and well below what was calculated as the...

    Jones Injury

    I'd be tempted to rest Kelly this weekend, with the FA Cup game the following week you could give him over 2 weeks to let it heal. Would rather do that than have him playing when not fully fit and possibly making it worse.
