And smith must once more - as we no longer appear to have to abide by any historical event

[Fungus]

But it was originally started by a Leave campaigner, maybe Timmy is a Palace fan really?

And it was started BEFORE the actual referendum.

I am employed to do no such thing, thank you.

That's the embarrassing thing, he's supposed to be a journalist.

I bet his family are disappointed in him.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

At least we can all agree on one thing

OP bringing unity and healing NSC divisions.

Unless you failed to notice it is Johnson & Gove who duped the gullible into voting Leave who are now insisting that we don't invoke Article 50.
Politics has nothing to do with integrity. Haven't you dabbled in it in the past?

No - the government has a mandate from the public to exercise Article 50; my expectation is that those in power will not actually do that until we are ready (new PM and cabinet in place and initial thinking on the plan for a 2-year exit is done for e.g.).
Just because the EU mandarins want us to move quickly it doesn't mean we have to. The U.K. Government must act in the best interests of the U.K. and given there was no definitive timescale on the referendum question then timing for Article 50 is for the government to decide.

He's not really though, is he?

He does a blog: if everyone who wrote a blog called themselves a journalist, we'd need a lot more news outlets. If his output was actual journalism in its true sense, i.e. well-researched, insightful, bona fide articles published in the name of whichever media outlet they appear in, then somebody would have edited them for spelling, grammar, structure and factual inaccuracies (and presumably also originality).

I thought he wrote for the Lancing Boil or some other top notch local paper? He gets into BHA press conferences and everything!

Anybody with thruppence worth of blagging skills could do the same if they had enough of a mind to do so. So fair play for that. Timmy's somewhat simple editor must look at the number of clicks and assume he's hired some kind of literary GIANT, little realising (or caring) that it's all down to NSC failing to block somebody linking to Timmy's always illiterate column. Which is usually just a re-hash of NSC popular opinion du jour anyways.

I believe that's in hand now. People who wish to advertise on NSC should pay the going rate.

Timmy Timmy Timmy.

You'd still be held in far more esteem than him if you were.

 

[Grombleton]

Timmy Timmy Timmy.

Well at least you can spell your name right. Perhaps if you type each word in your replies and 'articles' there wouldn't be so many mistakes.

Still, gotta learn to walk before you can run.

Some of the articles I've written about Albion matches, albeit from a sideways point of view, have had more readers than his. I don't remotely regard myself as a 'journalist' and neither do some of the others who do similar things. But when you do write as a hobby it is very helpful and encouraging to read and understand the styles and type of content that people who write for established publications use. So I don't read HB&B, it's painful and annoying.

 

[Hiney]

I write stuff for a few magazines and if I submitted copy similar to the DRIVEL he puts out, I would be embarrassed.

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Judging by responses to the OP I'd have thought you'd all wanted a HB&Brexit vote on him!
