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

    I’ll just correct you on one point there. The deal was already negotiated from a position of weakness, we never held all the fabled cards. No deal would have just put us in an even greater position of weakness in negotiations. Even Boris understood this, which was why he got a deal and possibly...

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

    You could do the same for him claiming to be the only person on here who called it right all along. The German car industry will come to the rescue, French need to sell us cheese and wine etc. Unfortunately I have to say he’s very typical of many (not all) brexiteers in that he’s spent the last...

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

    May never had an option for staying in the customs union. In fact she was the Tory who very much set the U.K. on that path. Out means out was her often repeated cry from the day she took office.

    Aside from the fact that he’d lost a majority because he turned all Pol Pot and sacked off anyone with intelligence in his party.

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

    EU customs officers also now policing the movement of goods in the U.K. too. That’s a huge chunk of sovereignty handed over right there and something that didn’t happen while we were in the EU.

    I know an Irish man called Dick Burns which is double funny thanks to Father Ted.

    Just another example of the lack of joined up thinking.

    Take the knee

    Footballers suffer from dodgy knees in later life as it is. They really aren’t doing themselves any favours kneeling on a cold surface ;)

    Take the knee

    The majority of Tory donars are non doms or have tons of cash sat off shore legally avoiding tax in the U.K.. The House of Lords is full such characters and I dare say there’s more than a few in Parliament too. Sir Jackie Stewart also lives in a tax exile. But heavens forbid a black lad from a...

    Jeez. Just when you thought we’d seen the end of the would you rather live in (insert EU country here) line the direction of travel turns back to it. A sure sign that the government is fucking this up.

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

    Fact is he should have been locked up long before Starmer was involved in the CPS and the Tories are not only complicit in that not happening they also handed him opportunity to abuse. Yet you won’t find a shortage of people already blaming Starmer under the pretence that every case the CPS...

    Was thinking that TBF but then you’d just test the kids who parents don’t take responsibility in the school exposing just them to a third party instead of the whole school.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Why aren’t they just sending the kids home with the tests and asking parents to administer the test the next morning before they go into school? Is there a reason for that? Because it sounds like they’re just finding ways of getting people to mix unnecessarily by inviting extra people into...

    He was undoubtedly between a rock an a hard place but then if he had have abstained saying that this is for the Tories to own by the next time the general election comes around he might actually be sitting a lot more comfortably than he will be by having voted for the mess. Some votes don’t age...

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

    I have to say shmmeee but that’s a little naive. For the last four and a half years a number of brexiteers from auntie Doris on Facebook to sitting MP’s are blaming everyone but those who voted for it for Brexit not unfolding how it was promised during the campaign. There’s huge numbers of...

    Just watching some of the scenes from parliament today. Thrown under the Brexit bus. Northern Ireland, the NHS funding promise from the side of said bus, sovereignty in parts of the U.K., the Kent countryside, fishing industry, workers rights, individual rights, the promise of cutting red tape...

    That requires joined up thinking and foresight. Two qualities lacking in the government.

    Robings - how long left?

    The way I see it is Mark Robins is to CCFC what Sean Dyche is to Burnley. His first spell in the premier league with zero budget led to relegation, the next season as a capable manager who knows how to get promoted from the championship took them straight back up again. Robins is a twice...
