Analysing the political climate, Parliament has moved to increase Parliamentary powers against the Government to prevent the Government leaving without a deal on the 29th March. It’s also set to reject May’s deal, and the implications are pretty clear. With the UK’s rich parliamentary history...

I’ve already established that, thank you. What do you think will happen? As it stands, Parliament is set on blocking a no deal outcome and some sources reckon the May’s deal could lose by up to 80 votes in Parliament. Hence, May is desperately trying to gain support from Labour MPs at the...

Let’s clarify this, do you think crashing out of the EU without a deal will do a better job of ‘unifying’ the country? Also, I’m intrigued, if there were to be a second referendum on Remaining v Leaving, how would Astute vote?

The first and obvious problem is that there is no clear majority for the next course of action as there is no majority for a no-deal or for May's deal and a second referendum doesn't seem particularly necessary to ordinary people at this point. At 52/48 majority, you could argue that the result...

Goes to show what a great job Robins is doing by making the club an attractive destination for young players. In the summer, Sterling cane to us instead of the Championship, Bayliss signed a new contract and more. Good stuff!

I called it a best bet. I’ve never said it will lead to an idyllic political solution where everyone is happy. You’re misrepresenting my view because as you know, I’ve said EU membership will remain a divisive issue last 2019. As the link you posted states, the two clear options on how to deal...

There was division over the issue before 2016, during the process of Brexit negotiations and will continue to be division after the matter also. I’ve said that regardless of the outcome this year. A second referendum is not ideal at all, but it’s becoming an increasingly political necessity in...

It’s not Labour’s opposition that’s causing the government real problems. It’s the Tory back benchers who are giving the government real problems. That’s why they can’t get it through Parliament. For political reasons, Labour can’t support May’s deal nor a no-deal Brexit as they will get...

Holding a second referendum will ‘cause’ untold division? Looking at the current political climate, there’s so much division the only thing that can mend it is another vote. You have Tory backbencher who want to leave without a deal, there’s those who support Remain and a small % support May...

If we remained without a public vote, it would be a betrayal of democracy. If a second referendum voted to Remain, surely the fresher referendum is the most valid.

Is that somehow an argument against a second referendum?

On that basis, the 2016 referendum is undemocratic because it ignored the referendum of 1975. But that’s a rather silly position to take, isn’t it?

Disagreeing with a second referendum is a legitimate political position. However, calling a new referendum ‘undemocratic’, ‘undermining democracy’ or ‘Stalinist’ is a ridiculous stance.

Anything that excludes any group of voters is preposterous. Besides, our voting is done by secret ballot so what’s stopping any one saying they voted Leave when they didn’t.

With another public vote? Yes. You know where I stand on this. What next? Are elections that elect a new party going against a public vote a few years prior? No of course not because the public has changed its mind. Public opinion changes and at the minute, it’s in favour of a new referendum...

I don’t think that was a viable option then or now. If Parliament rejects the deal on the table, the likely outcome is a referendum on remaining in the EU and leaving (without a deal). Although that’s for the Government and electoral commission to sort out if it came to that. May’s deal is...

Absolutely. But, I get the impression that people think McNulty would’ve walked L1 and be scoring at a similar rate. In preseason, my guess would’ve been between 10-15 or 17 goals. Which is about a strike rate of 1 in 3. Which at this stage would be about 8 goals, Hiwula, JCH and Chaplin are on...

I don’t think anyone has claimed that. McNulty was fantastic for us, and I’m grateful for all the memories. However, that season could just be a flash in the pan and wasn’t guaranteed goals in L1. To put it into perspective, McNulty’s record in L1 is about 1 in 5, which, as I’ve stated...

Funnily enough, I only missed Wycombe. The stats speak for themselves and our strikers are doing just fine. I feel sorry for anyone who genuinely thinks we have a chance of resigning McNulty.

I’d play: Burge Sterling Willis Hyam Mason Thomas Kelly Bayliss Bright Chaplin Hiwula Home game versus a struggling team, we really ought to win, hopefully by 2+ goals. But, it wouldn’t surprise me if we ended up drawing or losing this one.
