  1. You don’t (or can’t) understand. It doesn’t matter what any Remain voter believed because Remain didn’t win the vote.
  2. As I said, you don’t like to admit that you were conned. Still in denial?
  3. We haven’t left yet and still we’re going down the pan.
  4. Leaving solves nothing. This debate will intensify as time goes on. Rather than go through all the unnecessary hardships wouldn’t it be better to consult the nation now? It’s much simpler and cheaper to revoke now than rejoin later. I understand your reluctance but you have to realise those who voted Leave were conned and used. Nobody likes to admit to having been conned so they carry on trying to convince themselves that their decision was right all along.
  5. We are already a laughing stock. The only sane, rational solution is merely to say that we’ve changed our minds and after careful consideration we have decided to revoke our withdrawal and be good little boys and girls from now on. You are right, the economy is being destroyed as we dither.
  6. Yes - insignificant. Exchange rate variations have a much bigger effect. Then there are the handling charges for handling the goods. It’s no good having 0% import tariffs if you’re paying more than 20% extra for your imports. Soon to be 30% and more.
  7. Just because you have no idea about what will happen doesn’t mean that the rest of us don’t. It is going to be economically disastrous. You can’t cut yourself off from your biggest trading partner and expect things to stay the same. We’re not just closing doors, we’re slamming them shut.
  8. It's a long season and with injuries and suspensions we need someone like him in our squad.
  9. To your wife???
  10. “Like that which we have”? TV football directors who show irrelevant replays whilst the game is going on and then miss a goal or something important.
  11. I was at the game . Romeu's tackle could never be considered a professional foul because it was not far outside their penalty area. As has been said before, it looked clean to most of us. You will well know that I will usually support the referee but there definitely seemed to me to be a bias. Not so much especially in the handing out of sanctions. We were only awarded six fouls in the whole game.
  12. I can’t recall ever seeing him play. Was he any good?
  13. Romeu’s tackle looked clean to me and nowhere near a yellow no matter how long Atkinson had to think it over. Djenepo got sent three feet in the air by a late lunge but no punishment for the offender.
  14. What difference does it make who ‘leads’ the EU? The president is just a figurehead without any power.be honest, what has a President of the EU ever done that affects any aspect of your life?
  15. That’s ok for those already living abroad. What concerns me are the restrictions in the future. Trapped in an overcrowded, bigoted, poor country.
  16. I’ve just checked my purchase history and all it says is “printed”. I’ll give it a couple of days before chasing.
  17. I don’t know that it is a conscious bias but there must be some explanation for yesterday’s performance.
  18. I think we were talking about after we had left the EU.
  19. Do you really think that’s important? What power does an EU president have.. Do you think that Johnson and May usurping power is democracy?
  20. Me neither.
  21. Financially they will never be better off. Britain - make that England & Wales - will never be free. No country ever is.
  22. Residency is not that straightforward.
  23. Eternal damnation is not long enough in my view. Selfish and irresponsible in the extreme.
  24. Yes, I used to be a referee too. That Romeu challenge looked clean to me and I was surprised to see Mariner give it as a foul. It took a bit of time before he gave it as a yellow Burt why is beyond me. Of course it could always have been for something he said but it’s not for me to make apologies for that performance.
  25. Those are not Saints fans. HTH
