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

    Maybe, but that’s forgetting what we have also given the world. I also think as a nation we are one of the most generous

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

    So the amendment finally got through which will potentially stop a No Deal. No Deal is the last thing I want. I think the damage and disruption, at least in the short term, will turn the country against Brexit (I honestly believe most leavers want some kind of close relationship deal done)...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    A real shame if he goes. Always thought we are yet to see the best of him (he’l was only 21 when he joined, moved from his home town club and never appeared fully up to speed) and believe that played in the right areas he will score goals (manages to get half a yard in the box) Some of the fans...

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

    I appreciate the above appears sensible in theory, however, it never would’ve happened as the EU have never wanted us to leave. They would never offer a sensible deal pre confirmatory referendum as there’s no incentive for them to. Also, from memory the EU refused to even discuss ‘a deal’ until...

    Transfer Rumour Bayliss

    Let’s be honest, a fair few ‘fans’ have moaned about Bayliss and Chaplin most of the season, yet unsurprisingly, these are the two players that most clubs (at a higher level) have shown an interest in ! Unfortunately some fans haven’t got clue what a good player (or potentially very good...

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

    Cant argue with the assessment. Maybe too many of us put too much faith in (our inept) politicians to deliver something resembling a decent deal

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

    I still think combining the two is slightly disingenuous. The mess being made by parliament is not due to Leave and us having parliamentary sovereignty....it’s due to the inept MPs (many of whom, on both sides of the argument, have vested interests and others that are politicising it). The...

    Garry Monk

    Thats what’s being investigated (hence my comment about his mate !;)). One of the transfers (Ashley fletcher) is an interesting one

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

    That’s a little disingenuous Tony. There obviously will be more control over our laws etc (through parliamentary democracy) if we leave the EU (for good or bad). The fact we’ve got poor MPs who have shown themselves incapable of addressing/delivering on one of the major issues of our time is not...

    With Ashleys lack of spending not sure his agent mate will appreciate that move ! Decent manager but never appears to be kept around for long

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    In response you could argue that remainers in parliament shouldn’t be trying every trick in the book to frustrate the process (there are numerous examples but one I still can’t believe was forcing the attorney general to publicly reveal his full advice to the government.....in the middle of a...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    I’m pretty sure he has no intention of suspending parliament but quite rightly he doesn’t want to show his hand to the EU. I can’t believe the naivety sometimes. Like Hunt asking him if he’d resign if he didn’t get Brexit through on 31 Oct. If he says ‘yes’ all those that don’t want him to be...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    It’s probably an unpopular view and I’m no major fan of the Lib Dem’s (or Clegg for that matter), however, I always think they are a bit hard done by the accusations of ‘betraying their voters’ during the coalition. They were a minority partner in the coalition (57 to 306 seats) so would only...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    I’ve not questioned the quality of the healthcare shmmee and I’m aware of waste across all companies. My point is that even the minor waste/inefficiencies in the NHS can run into millions or tens of millions....hence I go back to my original comment (that appears to have unintentionally upset a...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    Glad all’s well then ! Seriously though, as you work there you’ve obviously got a better understanding of certain elements of the NHS and I’m not suggesting for a minute that the suggestions are going to fix everything but even relatively minor changes or savings can correlate to big numbers...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    I agree 100% with the sentiment Ian but why is this money being wasted ??? Is there less accountability in the public sector ? Let’s just say there was a private sector firm employed to undertake all of the purchasing, to get the best deals on products, medicines etc and incentivised on their...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    I named a few off the top of my head earlier ie clamping down on unattended appointments (15 million appointments according to NHS), allowing/not recovering foreign tourism costs (again estimated at several hundreds of million per annum). In addition there are numerous negligence claims against...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    I would define something that way when it appears that however much you throw in it, it always needs more. I agree that every civilised country needs free health care and the US system is an absolute disgrace, however, that doesn’t mean we don’t need to try to change and improve what we’ve...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    £125bn last year !!! As I said earlier it’s a money pit and we (the public) are to partly to blame.....poor/unhealthy lifestyles, misuse of services etc etc. In addition to this we are living longer so need more NHS care/services. There needs to be some major changes though as it’s creaking ...
