  1. Trying to play like he’s the next Franz Beckenbauer, he’s not! Needs to focus on what he does best, no nonsense defending.
  2. Well think of all the action you’d be missing out on if you weren’t a member of the church!
  3. So we require some sort of New World Order, if you will? You are Henry Kissinger and I claim my £5!
  4. Isn't he conflating a political outlook (patriotism) with an economic one (globalism)? How many of the people on recent anti-globalist marches would identify as patriots?
  5. So we're not the rulers of Europe. Germany, France, everyone else and big money aren't ruling Europe. So just WHO is setting the agenda of the EU right now?
  6. Cake is a morning staple! Even if you guys have never been, surely you are in touch with your feminine sides enough to have at least heard of a Coffee Morning? What you think people are eating there, dry crackers? It may be because I'm a greedy f*** but I've certainly never been to Gregg's in the morning to buy a Manchester Tart and managed to save it until the end of the street, let alone until the afternoon!
  7. So disenfranchise the poor or the poorly educated? Seems like pretty progressive stuff!
  8. Well I for one look forward to the day Whitney will be 'performing' in my home!
  9. I’ve always understood Elevenses to be tea and cake, a little like afternoon tea but in the morning, as opposed to an actual meal?
  10. Can Boris resign as Prime Minister but not as Tory leader in order to force an election?
  11. That is a fair point. I did generalise, I didn't really have the time to set out the individual wants of every single voter in the country. Do you think there is a reason why even the most ardent remainers aren't talking about any of the issues listed as reasons why the UK should stay in the EU though?
  12. Unfortunately it is a loveless marriage. The UK feels like their partner just doesn't listen anymore. "When was the last time we did what I (the UK) actually want?" The fact is we just don't want the same things anymore. Single currency? No. Federal Taxation? No. EU Army? No. Further expansion whilst retaining freedom of movement? No. Closer integration? No. The list goes on. As hard as it is, probably best to go our separate ways and wish each other all the best before things turn really sour. I mean sure, I know you've always been the major breadwinner and things are going to be tough at first...but it will be better for both of us in the long run.
  13. Hang on. If you are the one teaching, how come it knows when you've got it wrong?
  14. Unfortunately I wasn't listening to TMS at the time but having seen it, if Geoffrey didn't say that his aunt could have caught it in her pinny, I'd be very disappointed.
  15. Do you think that unfettered freedom of movement from anywhere in the globe to the UK is sustainable?
  16. Not that I'm a great promoter of 'inter-generational guilt' but I would certainly think there is a strong moral argument for the UK to focus its immigration policy on the former colonies. I've yet to hear a convincing argument from the pro-EU'ers as to why an unskilled labourer from Bulgaria should have the right to to bring his family here to improve their lot, but an unskilled worker from Zimbabwe (for example) shouldn't. Is it solely they they believe the former carries greater economic advantages to the latter?
  17. The figures seem pretty accurate but used with some slippery wording. There are no such things as WTO tariffs, these are EU tariffs that would apply to the UK under WTO rules. Similarly, they are import tariffs that would apply to British exporters, export tariffs would be a completely different kettle of fish. I do love a free trade argument paired with protectionist stats though.
  18. The Greek goddess Athena stopped things getting worse after the Roman god Hercules killed his children?
  19. What?! I came here looking for a bit of your optimism and can do spirit of previous tests.
  20. Probably the most generous phraseology I've read all week.
