I've already told you, there is no democracy in the UK. Its a fallacy. Everyone on this thread worrying themselves senseless over Brexit and yet the inherent problems in our country will not be addressed by Remaining or Leaving. 1) Central power and big business now ride roughshod over local...

There is no such thing as a democratic norm. The standard ' first past the post ' electoral system we have is designed to favour the two main parties. Its not democratic and it doesn't reflect on how people vote throughout the UK. The 2016 referendum could not be, by definition, a democratic...

If we beat Norwich, we will have a little bit of a buffer and the next three will be free hits. I wouldn't rule out draws v Utd and Leicester. Everyone is expecting defeat at Anfield but I have a little niggling feeling that something special might happen ( it did in 83, when they had had a long...

I can separate those two. The joy of winning should be celebrated. I did. I didn't laugh at Digne. Within the game, I respect the effort that players put in. I'm sorry but I just didn't find the own goal funny. If fans choose to revel in misfortune, thats their choice. None of my mates in the...

Why the prolonged laughter over our third goal? I don't get it. It wasn't funny. It was an own goal. We scored one as well yesterday. I was overjoyed and celebrated riotously with my son but neither of us laughed. Digne had to make an effort to stop the cross, as Murray was behind, waiting to...

So....its not like its anything different from previous years/decades. Good god, we had past masters at it in Major and Blair and Cameron and May had their moments as well. As far back as the 70's, there were years of lies and deceit peddled around to persuade us to join the Common Market. Its...

No he didn't. He won the election because a lot of people wanted a change. It didn't matter what the change was, they just wanted to kick the US political establishment where the sun don't shine. It was supposed to be a shoe-in for Hilary. Trump was derided and treated as a joke by the majority...

Yep....they are going to start disappearing off the radar. They've had their time in the spotlight.

He is too shrewd to put personal animosity before commonsense. Despite all the soundbites from Boris ( " We will never join forces with the Brexit Party " ) they know its their best chance of a comfortable majority. Particularly as Farage is up for it.

Good to see the high standard of mature, reasoned debate on this thread, being maintained.

....and then get who? The alternatives are pitiful. Never seen in my lifetime such a ragbag of inadequates. Corbyn and Swinson are out of their depth. Too much apathy and indifference has allowed this rabble to become established and think they are untouchable. Their arrogance is breathtaking...

Loving the football, rueing the lack of professionalism at times, worrying a little that we have' missed the boat ' a bit re points gained. Think we could have got a bit of a flyer and created a small cushion ( as Bournemouth seem to do most seasons )To get back on track, we need a minimum of 4...

He has allowed himself to be browbeaten from within by the likes of Starmer and Thornberry and from outside by the likes of Blair and Campbell ( even though he was expelled ! ) and now has nowhere else to go. They have made their bed and now have to lie in it. If they are gambling that 5m...

As opposed to other experts, including the WPC ( World Pensions Council ) and the World Bank who state that beyond short lived market volatility, the long term economic prospects of Britain remain high, notably in terms of country attractiveness and foreign direct investment ( FDI ) Risk experts...

One could also say that those who have deliberately undertaken an agenda of doom and gloom mongering, spreading messages of forthcoming armageddon and have successfully scared shitless a whole swathe of the British public, who have greatly reduced spending levels and forced the economy into its...

Well that has been happening for a long time. The soft drinks industry did it to offset the Sugar Tax. The chocolate and confectionery industry have been at it for years. Likewise the cereal and biscuit manufacturers. Its endless. Their mantra is...." In the light of rising costs, we didn't want...

I am aware of all the requirements currently in place and how much work the UK food trade has put in place over 3+ years to ensure that they are covered for all eventualities whether it be No Deal, Hard Brexit, Medium Brexit, Slightly Soft Brexit, Soft Brexit or Remain.

" Increase in prices for many food items " I keep hearing this and realise that it is uttered by people who don't have a clue about the food industry. PRICES CHANGE ALL THE TIME...irrespective of Brexit. There are so many global factors. For about nine months, Pork has been rising sharply in...

" A lot of shit " is an understatement. We are fast approaching a period of social unrest in this country, not experienced for centuries. The mood out there is ugly and divisive. This atmosphere will worsen and degenerate and manifest itself in civil strife.
