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

    If you believe Trump America has loads of problems with immigration. I f we have an enforced minimum wage then there is a limit to how much they can undercut. If we enforce the 3 month with no job means leave, then they cannot abuse for long periods. We have never had so much soft fruits grown...

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

    It actually does. The government claims a corner has been turned. The population hasn't felt the effects yet. Two quarters in a row Greece has been in plus. Tourism is booming- it's not everything, but it is a start. They have more tax inspectors on the ground trying to get people to pay their...

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

    People call it a club because it has rules that people have to abide by - e.g. When leaving.

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

    Yes. But. The problems start with subsidies and price dumping. That's why you need a club with rules as opposed to free for all. Never mind you'll find out what I mean post Brexit.

    I didn't know they were forced in, but I do know that the books had to be cooked to get in.

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

    Greece has not gone backwards though. It had a good run until the finance crisis which hit it more than others because it cheated - with help of others - to get into the Euro. It was always weak. The strongest part being shipping which had tax privileges, and tourism where loads of business was...

    I think you overestimate Juncker. He has said what he would like. People are giving their opinions on it. That's it. Maybe some things will happen soon and others in the distant future. Farage though is a total tosser who has had far too much airtime for his lies and distortions. His...

    At this moment in time the EU is pulling together and the British government is fighting itself over what Brexit means. BoJo being the latest example. So Barnier can watch and wait...

    Which areas of Cov or out of town?

    Lived in Chapelfields and Whoberley. Now exiled in Kiel.... no City fans here :-( - except my daughter who has little choice. The Mayor and a delegation from Coventry were here last week though...

    Which areas of Cov or out of town?

    Visited the Bounty in Hinckley in the 70s with my mates. Got kicked around and had to seek refuge in the Conservative Club. They didn't seem too keen on people from Coventry.... never went back funnily enough.

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

    Oh really...? Which one party or ones support a soft Brexit as policy? Or a hard Brexit? Or a medium Brexit? As far as I recall the election wasn't purely based on Brexit, and if it were, no party has committed itself 100% to a certain Brexit. No one knows how this going to pan out and everyone...

    Appeal granted

    Yes, but the golden EFL share is still worth something. I think " just about managing " in League 2 is the lowest she could take. Low attendances would be acceptable as long as the club is parked in a siding and not costing too much.

    Appeal granted

    I don't- but if they have a sponsor wasting money in addition to the investors that have already lost their money, she is increasingly losing her reputation. Tim apparently said she was bonkers a while ago ( according to Hoffmann). The recent picture of a bedraggled Joy adds to the feeling that...

    Appeal granted

    Attrition was actually promised by Joy, but losing costs money. I think they would prefer at least getting their costs back through a settlement to losing the war of attrition. And of course the other side will now be able to join in the war of attrition by not negotiating and letting the...

    Appeal granted

    It is not hammering CCFC in most cases. Saying Joy has ultimate control and is acting in the interests of her investors as opposed to CCFC is not knocking CCFC. I feel sorry for the club for being little more than a pawn in a bigger game. It is a terrible situation. Yes, I agree that for the...
