Given that you’ve just spent umpteen pages banging on about how the EU is going to become a dictatorship it’s ironic that you’re concerned that Parliament isn’t going to allow itself to be dictated to choosing instead to hold up the countries sovereign laws that some are so keen we leave the EU...

You’d think, but let’s see.

Oh dear Government loses key Brexit bill vote

Have you seen the rise in right wing terror attacks since he’s been president? A group he seems to take privilege in empowering. Have you seen the troubles he’s reignited in Palestine and Israel? Do you think this will motivate home grown Islamic terrorist in the USA? Everything the man says...

I can’t wait for trident to be scrapped and replaced with a new tuning fork myself.

I replied to a quote you made not Mart so not sure how you work that one out. Not going to answer the question then?

Seemed a nonsense, flippant statement to make in the first place. He might actually be correct if he’s assuming that the US uses the UK for transhipment around the EU (don’t know one way or the other personally) but if anything you’d think that would be an argument against leaving the EU as...

I can’t believe you think we mean nothing. I thought you were dismissing anything Rand said. And I guess you can’t answer the question and back up your claim so you’re changing the subject.

They won’t need to. They’ll just bypass us and go straight to the EU mainland. Rotterdam and Hamburg are both deep water ports with ample ability to offload containers. We export all around the world and quite often it has to go via one of these as there isn’t a direct route from the UK.

I won’t understand if you don’t explain. Well the EU is the US’s biggest trading partner and Germany is it’s 5th biggest trading partner as a stand-alone country which is one place ahead of us. So again. How are we the USA’s route into Europe?

I thought you were dismissing what Rand had to say?

We’re not even in the top ten of European ports, container or otherwise.

How? While we’re in the EU we’re governed by the same import regulations as every other member state. Nothing is going to change for US importers to the EU other than maybe a change of destination for getting goods into the EU. Which (if what you say has any truth) actually would cut us out and...

And how does that make us the USA route into the EU? I’m sure lots of people in Europe work for US companies, not sure what your point is.

How are we the USA’s route into the EU?

I think a few have pointed out that if promotion doesn’t happen at the first time of asking we’ll revert to type. And type has been relegation. Can’t remember anyone saying we’d definitely be relegated this season. Although I doubt many would have been all that surprised should it have happened.

You and your sense of humour. You little scamp.

SP suffered from it, TM suffered from it and now the worry given current form is MR’s is also about to be hit with the curse. 3 very different characters, 3 very different sets of players, 3 different sets of back room staff (bar Oggy the fall guy), yet all 3 tenures shaping up the same...

TBF we are in a pattern of getting hopes up, tripping up, relegation. Going by recent history I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss anyone who’s suggesting that we’re leaving this league by relegation. History tells us that is more likely under the current owners than promotion. If we don’t go up...

Oh for sure. ;)
