But back to your original post on the matter... what has increased money for the NHS - £40bn, £2:50, it doesn't matter - got to do with Brexit? (The answer, as previously stated, is nothing whatsoever. In itself Brexit means less money for every public service. If more money is found, it comes...

What have these figures got to do with these countries' membership of the European Union? (I haven't read the analysis but I'd have thought that the fact the rates vary so greatly across member states suggests that membership, and FOM, don't drive the statistics.)

On 24 June 2016 I accepted that Leave got the most votes in the referendum, on 12 December 2019 I accepted that the Conservatives had won the general election and on 31 January I accepted that the UK was no longer a voting member of the European Union. I don't know a single Remain supporter who...

Complete non sequitur. Any new money that is being spent on hospitals or anything else has nothing to do with a Brexit dividend because there is no Brexit dividend. Brexit reduces the size of the public purse, not increases it. What you voted for makes it harder for the things that matter to all...

We were on our way to a match when the QM died. Pretty sure it was Colchester.

Voiding would be unfair to more clubs because those that are currently in a European-qualifying or promotion positions would be disappointed along with those that simply have outside hopes of achieving success. Concluding early would at least ensure that clubs such as Liverpool, Leicester and...

Nah, taking a racing line through Randiddles Corner.

When I destroyed my disc wear indicator by hitting a deep hole between Hurstpierpoint and Hassocks three weeks ago I was greatly comforted by the knowledge that the country now has two enormous aircraft carriers.

How Premier League clubs are shaping up on the question... https://apple.news/Ato2DjxF_Q_WSDW1hOquU5Q

Yes, all the way through the leagues. You're right that this 'no play-offs/no relegation' option would be tough on clubs in and around the play-off positions (also those chasing Champions League places), but surely the alternative of simply voiding would be unfair to many more clubs? And voiding...

Blatant deflection in your first para but you've got me bang to rights in your last one.

Can I just confirm... You are denying that you called me a bullshitting liar or that you misinterpreted a post? (Cue another GT49er disappearing act.)

The answer to that is don't relegate teams. Just promote them, then sort out the numbers at the end of next season.

Ah, your condescension was too subtle for me although I wasn't having a pop. Just asking a startled question.

Why don't you want Liverpool to win the league?

I've wittered on about this solution a couple of times on this thread. The play-off candidates would indeed be aggrieved, together with the handful of clubs hoping to climb into Champions League places. The point is though that a perfect and equitable solution doesn't exist - this one comes...

You keep clear of the spite and invective? I'm sorry, but that is not right. You called me a lying bullshitter (or possibly a bullshitting liar) recently. You were wrong, having misread a post. When this was made clear, you simply disappeared for a while.

I'd be really happy if someone shot this down in flames but I still haven't seen a better option. 1. Simply voiding the season would open the door to TV companies suing for the return of their entire 2019/20 fees. 2. Playing remaining games to when it is safe to do so is hopelessly vague, but...

2. It will theoretically be possible to stop live animal exports. That's always been the main benefit in my book, although it might not happen and you have to balance it against the greater likelihood of us importing the meat of abused animals. (You won't get much of a response from Brexit...

End the season now, respect promotion positions but disregard relegation and play off positions, adjust 2020/21 relegation numbers to allow each division to revert to current numbers by season 2021/22. Not fair, but fairer than any other option I can think of.
