  1. But if we don't trust in the people we vote for at general elections to make important decisions on our behalf, where do you draw the arbitrary line between what should be subject to a referendum and what shouldn't. I know I'm in devil's advocate territory here but who do you think is best placed to understand the ramifications of being in or out if Europe (for example)...'Tracey from Dagenham' or politician whose job it is to understand the implications to a level of detail that your average Joe will never achieve. Yes, people will know what they want at a philosophical level but will they understand the impact if their decision on the economy, etc? I vote Tory because I'm aligned with their view on Europe (for example) but I'm happy to leave them to decide when the best time to make a move is.
  2. Do we really want to rely on the intellect of the general public to make such important decisions...? When we get on a plane the passengers don't have a vote on the best takeoff method for the conditions - we leave that to the expertise of the pilot.
  3. Money can't be that tight at Pompey, given they flew from Southampton to the Leeds game at the weekend. Still, if you've got it flaunt I say....
  4. Does that mean the monkey chicken petting zoo is finally happening? I heard that on here first too, so it must be true... ;-)
  5. Correct. Innocent until proven guilty.
  6. Clutching at straws but maybe reached a limit on the number of devices and whenever one of your mobile devices connects it bumps off the laptop. Truth is, I've no idea. Yours helpfully...
  7. Caveat emptor
  8. No out and out striker on the bench.... Hmmmm

  13. A bit like Chamberlain used to 18 months ago
  14. Totally agree. A bit disingenuous Solent calling that as a "dreadful error by Hooiveld" (or words to that effect)
  15. @jordansibley: Bad day to be doing outdoor interviews in a dark suit #warm See the result on Football Focus this Saturday #saintsfc
  16. 19 points from 9 games. Top scorers with 21 goals. Top of the league. Narrow defeat away to Cardiff. Alpine saying we won't score 1 minute before we did. Happy days
