I thought we played well last night, and a big 3 pts for us. If we can follow it up with another 3 against Birmingham, I think it’ll set us up with a very good chance of staying up. The diamond suited us well and O’Hare was brilliant. Really happy he got one over some of the growing discontent...

Agreed. My preconception so far is that EU hasn’t learned the lessons it has needed to from Brexit. In fact, the ‘pooling our sovereignty’ quote after the EU-UK deal was made suggested the opposite. This episode, despite the good cause for grievances with the vaccine manufacturers...

I’m aware of what’s happening, but don’t really know why people are buying those stocks... practical joke or not!

Giles was a good WB option, but I don’t think he’s better than McCallum, certainly not defensively. With 5 other loanees, it’s a move that make sense for everyone.

Pretty sure he's out of contract and it's pretty clear Robins doesn't really have in his plans.

Is he going to start from Day 1? Probably not. So he is very much a development player - hence his loan back to Ross County.

I can’t see Mason being the squad for 21/22...

I hope so! For now, I want something passive that I don’t need to manage or check every day. I’ve gone for that standard S&P 500, but will look to invest a bit in the FTSE 100 and emerging markets down the line.

Looks like a decent development signing, I imagine we’ll sign an older LWB in the summer if we cannot keep McCallum still.

As a new, and young investor, I’ve just stuck my money into index funds and I add to it every month. I wish I started earlier tbh.

Just out of curiosity, how do you envision we’d maintain ‘fairly frictionless trade’ with the EU?

Don’t quote me on “only 43%” because I never said that. Again, to reiterate the point that we do most of our trade outside the EU. Business will learn what things they need to do to trade with the EU - the deal doesn’t stop trade. No, I work in logistics and can read trade statistics. If...

7 of our top 15 trading partners are outside the EU and the EU makes up 43% of our exports. That’s dropped about 17% from 1999. That’s without accounting for EU enlargement in the same period. By your logic, that number couldn’t possibly go down. I didn’t vote for Brexit. But, in the 21st...

It’s good we have a neutral on this forum because when people are emotionally invested, as we all are on here (with the exception of yourself), we panic when we lose.

I applaud the other 2 people who, alongside me, voted for 1st to 6th place. In all seriousness, we’ll survive. Robins has done a great job and this is acknowledged by just about every neutral in coverage of our games.

In the specific example I replied to was based on B2C movements. Yes, there is a risk of double taxation. But, that isn’t the clearance agent’s fault. Sellers on either side of the channel need to make sure they’re providing the correct incoterms or zero-VAT their goods at sale. Postponed VAT...

Yes you did, as it’s built into the sale of the goods. Again, both the EU and UK are building schemes to account for VAT at the point of sale to streamline the customs processes. It’s mutually beneficial, but not something achievable overnight. Now, EU sellers do not need to build that cost at...

You assume wrong. Every purchase we make, there’s VAT. Being in the EU doesn’t change that. Before, you could buy from Germany, pay German VAT and goods would be delivered as if it was bought from a domestic market (with UK VAT). Post-Brexit, EU sellers should sell goods without VAT now...

The industry is adapting to the requirement ‘statement of origin’. In practice, lots of goods should be zero tariff, but without proof of the goods origin, you cannot claim 0-rated tariffs. When buying abroad, you don’t pay that country’s VAT on the goods. So that should be expected as a...

You do know this guy does this as a joke? It’s funny because we do actually have a bit of a strange accent and idioms.
