  1. askeisner@pompeytrust.com Why? just why? Don't you feel dirty You do know league 2 isnt the division just below the PL right?
  2. Mebbe so - but Pompey are losing even that 68% to 32%
  3. For a divided rabble who will fall apart in negotiations under the might of the British Brexit team its odd that they only needed 15 minutes to agree their strategy - no trade talks until the bill is settled and the rights of EU citizens clarified. Im sure May told us that wouldn't happen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39755124
  4. Hipsters! tell me about it. I work in Shoreditch.
  5. Disingenuous again. It was 1.30562 the day before the referendum. Its now 1.18340 and down 0.3% today on GDP figures.
  6. The pound is well down against the Euro and only marginally up against a country which is under threat of nuclear war. Go us.
  7. The Tories?
  8. "What a total plonker said about Brexit didnt come true therefore Brexit is great". I think I can see a logic gap.
  9. Spain 0.8% Germany projected at 0.5% So we are behind the EU countries - you know those ones which were dragging us down.
  10. Ive been travelling to the US for thirty years and witnessed the gradual year after year downgrading of huge swathes of their their middle and working class. Reduction in public services spending and the prioritisation of corporations over citiizens have taken a real toll. Average wages have kept pace but the distribution within that average has changed dramatically - massive pay at the top and barely more than minimum wage for the majority. The effect can be seen in the quality of the built environment - some private affluence and lots of public squalor. The thing is that all the evidence shows that rich people dont like to be surrounded by poor people and beggars. They actually prefer living in cities where people are well dressed, the homes well kept and the streets clean and will pay a big premium to do that. Equitable distribution of income actually makes everybody happier. Britain is heading down the same road and its a massive shame on many levels.
  11. Fair do's. Maybe, just maybe if you'd gone up as Champions, but third??
  12. The way to do it is for the government to purchase farmland at the going rate of c8000 per acre. Then give itself planning permission and build four and five bedroom houses and sell them for a massive profit (as land is aroun half the cost of a house). Everybody them moves up the chain freeing up houses at the bottom. Result is improved housing stock,housing problem solved and it cost nothing
  13. True. The Tories will eventually realise it isnt going to work, but a lot of damage will have been done by then. Even if Labour are electable they will inherit a goat****
  14. Thank you for the mercy. Of course EU will give some ground, but nowhere near as much as the UK will have to. None of the EU's 27 members is going to want give the UK as good a deal as its got at the moment because to do so would disadvantage its own citizens and defeat the point of membership. Its really not hard. We will end up with a markedly inferior deal than we have a present and the so called opportunities in the rest of the world will prove to be largely illusory as our negotiating position will be much weaker as a standalone.
  15. Not really. There will be another election before we leave in 2022. The Labour Party wont be in a mess then but the job losses will have started to rack up.
  16. So what? The trade between Germany and France is worth over £200bn. Between Germany and the US its £100bn. Britain is usually third or worse. Doesnt matter how you try to twist it - they are much more important to us than we are to them. And, as Verbal says, they are united.
  17. You know the thoughts of everyone who voted. Go you. Have you thought of running a consultancy?
  18. The EU is 44% of our exports. We are 10% of theirs. Only the the thickest Brexiteer would be unsure who has the whip hand in negotiations.
  19. You wrote "Richard agreed to marry Isabella, daughter of Charles VI of France, when she came of age". You even highlighted it in bold. So unless you think six is "of age" you were wrong. Either wrong or creepy.
  20. Wrong. They were married on 4th November 1396 at Ardres. She was six he was 29. At least it wasn't creepy. Oh.
  21. She was probably 7, a year older than Isabella when King Richard II of England married her.
  22. Because there is no point in an elected politician needlessly antagonisng the other half of the electorate?
  23. Its going to be fun watching the scales drop from their eyes over the next year or two. Would be more fun if it wasn't so tragic. There is going to be huge economic damage for negligible gains elsewhere.
  24. Maybe atm - but if you read the polls in detail you'll find lots of factors pulling people in different directions. The electorate like May but the Tory party not so much. People are deeply divided about Brexit and feel strongly enough to vote against 'their' party. The banks and drug companies asre ratcheting up their rhetoric on job losses and threats of leaving. People like Merkel are wading in. I think the Tories will win np but I dont think that will settle the Brexit issue and give her the easy ride thereafter she expects.
  25. Trouble with that attempted wriggle out is that you didnt post Koran quotes about about terrorists attacks, because you tried and failed to find any, so instead you posted about women's rights. I posted similar from the bible. Both products of their time.
