Isn't it strange how much you care about what the European Union does? Keep weeping big boy.

The first bit is ancient history but you cling to your lickle comfort blanket if it makes you feel good. It's all over and done sweetheart. The second bit I have absolutely no idea what you are chatting about.

I remember you being equally as furious when your hero did this to the entire world to benefit just his population. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/iainmartin/2020/07/01/us-buys-the-world-supply-of-breakthrough-coronavirus-drug-remdesivir/amp/ Pretty hilarious that the Buccaneering Brexiteer spirit seems to be mainly whinging and whining that a major customer expecting big orders to be fulfilled is presented as some evil, malevolent act. Almost like you piss-weak fannies can't quite cope with the realities of global free trade as much as you like to make out. Running off to mummy sqweaming how "it's not fair it's not fair" at the first sign of trouble.

You can't compare regularly scheduled elections with once-in-a-lifetime referendums. There's a big difference between people moaning about it now and there being even a remote chance that vote would be held to go back in: and in any case it's a completely different question now. My expectation is that sometime in the future we will elect a government who will decide to use their sovereignty to join the single market again because the economic benefit and cost saving will be huge by then. But that's still years away.

It's not really the electoral college for the president that is that bad, it makes some sense. You can't just have most total votes wins, ideally there should be some level of representation across different regions. However It is the Senate system that is absolutely shocking. I think it is two seats per state regardless of size which is not representative at all. I think it us true that half the seats account for twice as much population than the other half. Can't see it changing any time soon just like no one will change the Westminster system that also needs a bit of work.

I listened to the interview and that was not my take out. He will not be here just run down his contract and then leave for nothing. That scenario, while there in theory, will not happen on Semmens watch.

This is the content we were waiting for

Chelsea are the very best counter-argument to the "chopping and changing managers never works" truism. It's perfectly possible that this next guy will win them another title or major trophy. And if he doesn’t, the next one will.

"Bless"

"People"

This is about the 47th Telegraph article the Village Idiot has posted in here that he has described as "the last word" on the matter. I look forward the next week's "last word" on the matter with zero interest.

On the contrary, I have excellent recall of your pitifully vapid truisms.

Someone's been on Google. Funny really, I thought spaffing on about "well if you count the whole population then the majority didn't vote for Brexit at all" was the preserve of sopping wet bad-loser remoaners? Very odd to see it employed here. Vote's over mate. You've won. 22 days in we get on with serious task of telling any haulage, fish, exporter or any other business impacted by the political decisions made that firms have been going bust for millennia and they just need to suck it the fuck up. That's right isn't it?

Because they did x x x

The split for those 25-34 was 62-38 remain. Those 34 year old young whippersnappers. So yeah, interesting how "perceptions are shaped", indeed.

The vast majority of people under 45 voted remain in the first place. Its hardly the preserve of the "enlightened next generation". Just people that work, run businesses and pay tax. Innteresting the only thing you have to say is warmed up campaign speak. 21 days in and all you've got in your armoury is some imagined electoral battle against Nick Clegg all over again.

The only people I've seen moaning is ERG powerhouse Owen Paterson, Brexit MEP Jean Mummery, and countless Brexit supporting Fishermen. But yeah, "it'll all be fine when I'm dead" sounds like a wonderful counter argument and I am sure those fishermen, exporters and everyone else will happily take your long view.

Great result, reasonable performance. Winnable but tricky next round.

Pleased he's picked a competitive team to at least have a crack at the Cup.

No, just pointing out the tiny little flaw in your pointless reductionist "stuff happens for millennia and you just have to get on with it" routine. You can say that shit about anything. You know, for millennia. This is why people say you are as thick as pigshit.

You should do a tour of the pubs and retail businesses who have seen their livelihoods destroyed in the floods this week. I think your pep-talk of "it's a cycle that goes on for millenia" will go down a right treat.

Why is the Village Idiot pissing his pants about HMRC saying this prediction is "a statement of fact about the future" when it is no such thing and HMRC say it is no such thing. It's what's known in the world of business as an estimate or a forecast. Here: The first permanent secretary and chief executive at HMRC said he expected 265 million customs declarations made in the UK each year when the new system is phased in – an increase of 211 million on the number of declarations made in 2017. “My department published figures towards the end of 2019 in which set out what we expected the administrative burden to be of completing additional customs declarations. I don’t think we published any further update to that. “The figure still stands and that from recollection is about £7.5bn for the cost of the UK side of completing declarations.” “In 2017 there were 54 million customs declarations made in the UK. At the end of the transition period we would expect that to group to 265 million. That won’t apply straight away because import controls are being staged in over six months, but that’s the rate we expect to see them from July.” "We expect" is not a statement of fact, any more than the SFC business plan for the next five years is a statement of fact. I thought the idiot ran his own business. We can only conclude that business does no long term planning, forecasts or assumptions whatsoever and their sales/turnover/costs each day come as a complete surprise out of the blue every day. Meanwhile, some other losers who didn't get the it's just "copy and paste" memo: £160 per consignment. https://www.ft.com/content/82371fcb-3814-4ac1-8332-c59daaa49c8b Donna Fordyce, of trade body Seafood Scotland, said that, even after teething problems were resolved, each consignment to the EU would cost £160 more in certification and other paperwork, a major hit for smaller exporters.

This forum's village idiot this morning wanked himself to a climax on the back of Nissan announcing they are going to stay in Sunderland but they've had to spend money and make arrangements to mitigate the impact of our newly prehistoric customs arrangements we've independently decided to move to. Running to stand still to cling on to what we already had. But to the pigshit thick village idiot, thats a triumphant mic-drop moment of glory. So there's that.

Here's ERG hardman Owen Paterson celebrating the power of free-trading independent global Britain buccaneering and dominating the world, unchained and sovereign. And definitely not pathetically weeping and whining like a blubbering little bitch.
