Enjoyed Vice (the film) ! Very interesting and a little scary !

I’m not sure Brexit is about being anti globalist at all Mart. If anything a lot of people who voted Brexit want to widen global relationships rather than have the main focus on the EU. Dyson is one of these hence me not seeing him as a hypocrite. If he’d moved his operations to somewhere in the...

I have to admit I didn’t know that about campaigning for the Euro. I was talking about Brexit though and decision to move the HQ to Singapore. Yes the HQ moved but he hasn’t actually manufactured any products in the UK for years (think they are mainly designers/innovators here) and no Uk jobs...

You wouldn’t move just for the FTA. We’re likely to have a FTA....well, eventually !!

Dyson is a businessman rather than a hypocrite. He moved his HQ of his business not the full operations. I don’t think he has ever pushed for buying British made only products. I am guessing he wants to access the Asia markets and potential skills (probably tax benefits as well !!) I don’t...

The England cricket fans use twist and shout for their Mark wood song as well. Decent to be fair

It does sound great to be fair (been to various places in Italy on holiday and loved it), however, an individuals view of life doesn’t necessarily reflect the living standards of a nation. Italy is a great country (food, weather, wine etc) but from what I’ve read in recent years it’s in an...

She is quite fit though :emoji_relaxed:

It is as soon as the vote happened Mart.

Brexit omelette....like it ! Unfortunate shmmeee the extremes aren’t judging. I heard Grieve earlier and whilst his intentions may be good in trying to stop a No Deal (I think his ultimate aim is still to stop brexit), I personally believe his (and other staunch remainers) interference makes...

Not many want No Deal, just a deal that can get through parliament and that’s acceptable to the public I still hope that replacing the backstop with an alternative mechanism (I’ve always said any backstop/trade deal should tie in a significant proportion of the ‘divorce bill’, that way there...

Haha, didn’t notice that ! I know the DT is a massive supporter of Brexit but there’s exaggerations and theres exaggerations !!! Seriously though, just trying to bring a balanced view to the argument. It’s not an insignificant figure when our borrowing has just increased again Ps knew you’d be...

The pound might have dropped (which is painful for holidaymakers...although not those holidaying in the Uk, Sickboy !! ;)). However, I heard on the radio this morning that the UKs EU contributions have gone up 20% (£2.6bn to £15.5bn) over the past 12 months due to our economy outperforming many...

Agreed, there is no way the cash is going back to sisu, it’s covering losses. However, it does minimise what sisu are losing, which in turn means they can hang on for longer. We all wait and hope that someone comes in for club with a longer term vision/plans (other than battering people in...

‘Is brutal’ ? Do you mean ‘was’ ? Unfortunately, as I said in response to Marts comment earlier, I/we don’t have a time machine !

Most of it is. Some of it misguided maybe. I’m just trying to highlight the fact that whatever our faults, compared with a large number (majority) of countries we do our bit. Ps It does need to be reviewed, that’s for certain. I’d have it more aligned to disaster assistance and investment in...

ps remember we borrow every penny of that foreign aid so you can probably gross it up !!!

There’s no arguing with some people who would prefer to do the country down. I’ll let you have a look on wiki about international aid (remember we contribute via the EU as well). In addition have a look at charitable donations per country. Sorry Deleted member 5849, it’s gone off at a bit of...

I was talking generally in response to your comment about us being lazy and careless. I disagreed. Djr then asked for examples I also disagree with the term ‘economic decline’, I’m not sure that’s an fair assessment. For the size of our country and the natural resources at our disposal we have...

Generosity wise, just look at the charity work and donations by the public at large, the foreign aid budget, the military support we provide to countries around the world (that we could potentially just ignore and leave alone). It’s easy to do this country down but sometimes people forget what...
