And I wish beer was cheaper. That's a fantasy too, like the idea that was sold in the referendum that we could simply walk away from the biggest trading bloc on the planet, pay in nothing, negotiate "the easiest deal in history" to ensure we keep all the benefits of the single market while...
That's true, but in the decade before that it was always seen as essential to be drawn in single figures. They ride the Knavesmire differently now and tend to come down the middle rather than the far rail, but it's still entirely possible that the high number "trend" is little more than...
Unfortunately, he's talking complete sh*te. The BHA did not "gross" 1.8bn, it's just a fantastical figure which even a second or two of consideration reveals to be nonsense. Seriously, £1.8bn? Do you have any appreciation of how much money that is, or how ridiculous it is to claim that it is...
It's not raining quite as hard as it was last year, but the wind is two or three times stronger. It will be right in their faces in the last two furlongs - not a day for the front-runners, perhaps.
Also, old favourite Flaming Spear declared for the G2 Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood (3.00).
May well have a bit each-way on him, even though he's yet to win above Listed class. First run of the season but he's gone well fresh in the past (including close 5th in the Royal Hunt Cup on debut...
Want out? The best spin that you can possibly put on the result is that 52pc *wanted* out, during a specific 24-hour period in June 2016. Since when, 1.5m British citizens have died, and just over 2m have turned 18 - a churn in the electorate of nearly 4m, approaching 10pc.
It would be the least worst outcome of the biggest mistake ever made by a British PM. Utterly stupid & humiliating for a major economy to be in the SM & have no say, above all when you consider the position that we're chucking away, but not as headbangingly insane (and pointless) as no deal.
Any chance of some numbers to go with this rallying cry to the faithless? eg. why it is that "what goes up must come down" applies equally to a second-tier economy as it does to a top-tier economy? Or how we are supposed to "come back stronger" when almost all of our trade - and 100pc of the...
No, but regardless of the identity of the leaker, it could also be significant who it was initially leaked to. It didn't necessarily just pop up in Oakeshott's inbox. If, say, someone was the original recipient of the leak, passed it on to IO & then, post-publication, sent out a tweet which some...
So widely disliked, in fact, that she only got 2.9m more votes than Trump.
Re the Leave vote, btw, you seem to be assuming that when people move from one age band to another, they automatically adopt the relevant voting profile from three years ago. The 65-plus group now includes around 1m...
