Or how about, as a less inflammatory alternative, the EU are asserting their rights, as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement (agreed and signed by a certain Mr A B deP Johnson), through the dispute mechanism agreed and set out in said agreement? The Chamberlain reference does make sense...

Good geopolitical knowledge bro! Granit Xhaka (current Swiss captain) also comes from a Kosovan family - the Swiss took in around 200,000 during the post-Yugoslavian conflict.

UK coal mines have always been more expensive than overseas equivalents - they are typically deeper, more fractured, more difficult to mine, and people cost more. That said, the main reason for them in the first place wasn't for lovely home fires, but to power industry and electricity...

This 100% (other than the kids football bit which I can't comment on). Dale deserves a fantastic place in our history - a great club man, always did what was asked of him (took the abuse undeservedly imo), first-choice midfielder under five Brighton managers, and made the step-up to the Prem...

Anyone had Phil Collins yet?

Origi alongside Maupay would be a fabulous combination. Connolly's pace to come off the bench. Count me in.

"Who ate all the pies?" Nobody did, as there aren't any pies.

I'd be careful Mouldy, going hunting for extra-marital affairs from your "RIGHT behind BORIS" location. You never know what you'll end up seeing.....

I'll probably get a caning for this - but would love to see the French doing well in such a crazy year - a lot of mountains and an uphill time trial on the last Saturday could suit Alaphilippe, Pinot or Bardet. Good working-from-home background TV now the Test series is over!

There's no such thing as foolproof technology, just as there's no such thing as a perfect referee. Of course Bournemouth won't actually sue Hawkeye - they signed up to play in a league where that was the system, and I suspect they know they'll have to live with it. It's just a deflection tactic...

Yep, but then we voted for Brexit....

It's a question of balance - there's no point making yourself so unattractive for major corporations to be based, that they relocate their HQs to Dublin or Paris, and all the income tax with them. I don't disagree that some of the structures look morally wrong, but Amazon employs 22,000 people...

It's a fallacy that cancelling major projects will "pay off" the corona debt. On the contrary, if the end-result is going to be revenue-generating, major infrastructure projects will get people back into work, generate tax proceeds for the taxpayer, bring in commercial capital and help put the...

Apart from the redevelopment of London Bridge Station, the Brighton Main Line Improvement and the Gatwick Airport Station Upgrade, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Totally agree - the Times had a brilliant sketch-writer before Letts came along. I can only assume Rupert poached him from the Daily Malice with gigs at the Sun and the Times. Patrick Kidd always hints there's a lot more to the story.

An experienced barrister will know every trick that experts use to push their cases, and how best to tie them in knots - (s)he won't care about looking like they know everything, just undermining the expert in front of the court. It might feel uncomfortable, but the motivation and morality, in...

Elton John sounds like Vic Reeves' pub singer these days

And doing down Hancock, Raab and all others along the way. Gove would stab himself in the back given a chance...

Agreed! and to your point, that's probably when the PFA would get involved as well. There's no way they would let their members go from sitting on the sofa all day to playing top-flight football.

Have you factored in the "pre season" the players will need to get back to top-flight fitness after three months in lockdown?
