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

    Except we're not. We're the highest by volume but not profit. That's the US. We're also likely to be relegated to third by China before too long as it's an emerging market for the German car manufacturers.

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

    Not quite true. We're the biggest by volume but cash in the bank we're second to the US. China are third and growing fast and set to pass us as it's an ever expanding market where as we're pretty much at saturation point. The EU and China are also getting closer and better trade deals with new...

    Harries not in MR's plans?

    If he's our player and training with Liverpool he's doing it with our blessing, which means we're trying to cash in on him. If he gets injured that's clearly a risk we're willing to take otherwise we'd just be asking Liverpool for a bid and he wouldn't be training with them. Seems to me that...

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

    Not just Germany. Irelands looking to entice them as well, I was reading something on it last week. I'll have to see if I can dig a link out. The vultures are circling and we risk being left with the bones.

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

    It really hasn't. We're set to be an estimated one million homes short in the UK within a few years yet net migration in the UK stands at around 250K and falling so the maths simply don't back up the theory that immigration has caused a housing crisis. And that's before you consider many...

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

    There was a midwife (British) in the question time audience in the week talking about how midwives are abandoning the NHS in their droves (both British and immigrant midwives) because of pay and conditions. The notion that there could be selective immigration to fill gaps in the NHS seems very...

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    I think he's just a spoilt rich kid used to getting his own way. In that respect he hasn't changed with age. Mentally he's still a spoilt rich kid used to getting his own way and still behaves as such.

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

    Corbyns brexit plans were drawn up in the labour manifesto. It included a brexit with trade at the center and guaranteeing the rights of all EU citizens currently in the UK. I guess it depends on your definition of hard brexit although it wasn't as hard as the Tories were promising pre election...

    The irony with India is that we already enjoy tariff free trade with India as part of the EU. Because of that TM as home secretary was able to impose restrictions on visas for India and now because we're in a weaker bargaining position to enjoy tariff free trade with India we're going to have to...

    I was reading something about that the other day. Haven't they basically said that the free movement of goods and services has to be precipitated by free movement of people?

    Dave Boddy - New CEO

    Look on the bright side. If we fall away after Xmas or have a bad start we can all blame Robins giving the likes of Boddy, Fisher and Joy a free let off.

    General Election

    Interesting on Radio 2. Basically saying that the Tories are now labour light because they've basically adopted large parts of the labour manifesto with the amount of u turns they're making and the emergence of the magic money tree they've suddenly found.
