Nothing in that list actually impinges upon our small businesses or, to put it another way, nothing there is particularly onerous or relevant. I like this bit: "improving standards for cross-border parcel delivery". What border would that be, hampshire/Dorset? Or this: "rapid agreement of faster approval processes for the pharmaceuticals industry through the new clinical trials regulation" . How does that sit with this?: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/brexit-to-cost-jobs-if-britain-loses-medicines-watchdog-gpg7znmpr In fact, if you read through the proposals you will see that they relate to improvements within the EU When we are outside things will get a lot more complicated. When you look at the details you cannot help but conclude that they are appropriate in a modern, non-exploitative economy.

What ****ing red tape? And exporting to the EU is a doddle at the moment but that will all have a great pile of red tape dumped upon it. It will not be possible to have different standards for exporting to non-EU and EU countries. Those outside the EU want to see standards for their purchases and those inside will insist in them. Businesses cannot have two different sets of products and stock systems. What EU red tape applies to those businesses that don't export? Please be warned that I have asked this question many times and am still waiting for a reply.

There's a 53-page thread about buying tickets here: http://forzainterforums.com/showthread.php?657-Tickets-to-Stadio-Giuseppe-Meazza I liked this comment: "Don't buy any tickets. Enjoy the beautiful city of Milan without ruining your holiday by watching us taking a dump on the pitch in the derby." -

Can you not appreciate the illogicality of having a stadium that holds over 82,000 but only letting in 32,000? Personally I would have been just as happy to go to Roma or any other stadium with a large capacity within reasonable travelling time. I agree with you about Inter and the restriction on numbers. We ought to know what the reason is. -
Once again you have misinterpreted the meaning. 'Let the government deal with it' is a fair representation.
-
Do you really believe that there is less paperwork in selling to the rest of the world than selling to the EU? The other argument is that if the EU does change any regulations then we shall have no part in that process.

It's not called that any more, its called Quantitive Easing. Keep up

Not true. Status quo can mean 'the situation as it is now' or 'existing state of affairs' which can also mean changes if you're happy that those changes are being managed by your elected representatives.

No it's not a poor argument at all. I repeat: what is so special about away games? There are plenty plenty of STs who can't go regularly to away games for all sorts of reasons. I know it has been this way for domestic aways but that doesn't make it right or fair. You could just as easily consider it fairer if the away tickets were offered first to those who have not been to away games before, spread them around a bit. The present arrangements just create a hardcore of ultras. Why offer Be'er Sheva when Milan is a lot closer and has a much bigger capacity? -
Staus quo means status quo. In my case that meant that I was comfortable with our relationship with our European partners and none of the scaremongering from the Leave campaigners had any effect on me.

I touched on this earlier. If you can't get an away ticket for a stadium that holds over 80,000 then when can you? And if you can't then you won't in future situations. This arrangement is self-fulfilling. What do so special about away games? Don't 19 home games a season for over 25 seasons count for something over some youngster who may only have become a member a couple of years ago and doesn't have any family or work commitments? -

Then why not buy tickets in cash from the ticket outlets? -

I don't understand either. I can't even find where the Italian law applies to our own tickets although I suppose they may be able to make specific regulations. -
That's not true. It's a common response by the Leavers to say that there were just as many inaccuracies on both sides of the debate but there was only one side that don't don't have a clue what to do if the vote went their way. Osborne ceased to be chancellor the instant that Cameron resigned so you can't call it a lie and there was very prompt action by the BofE and we have an Autumn Statement to look forward to. People are entitled and free to make their choice even if they don't have a reason. That is their right. Bullshît means bullshît. (Stupid statement isn't it?)

I don't think you actually need to register. I registered with Inter but I think it was only for their 'Interisti' section which appears to be for those who like to be associated with Inter but doesn't actually have anything to do with tickets. If you really want to you can apply for a 'Siamo Noi' card but that is more for regular attendances. For instance, I went through a trial sequence of buying a ticket for their home game with Hapoel BS and got as far as the payment part and met no restrictions even if I put my nationality as English or Israeli. I wasn't logged in for this trial. If you buy these tickets they are emailed in pdf form. Our match is not on sale yet except in a bundle of three but that is only for their season ticket holders. We shall need to keep a regular watch on their website and grab the tickets as soon as they go on sale. In my case this will probably be either when I'm in Florida or cruising through the Panama Canal which is going to be a challenge. The alternative is to get a ticket nearer the time from one of the over 500 ticket outlets throughout Italy. There is a map at the bottom of this page: http://www.inter.it/en/biglietteria and a list here: http://www.inter.it/it/servizi_abbonamenti/punti-vendita From their FAQs: "Is it necessary to have a Fan Card in order to go to the San Siro to watch Inter? No. The card is required to buy a season ticket and, as a general rule, you must have a card if you are an Italian citizen living in the region of the opposing team. For example, Italian residents of Sardinia must have a card in order to be able to go to Inter v Cagliari, whilst residents of Piedmont must have one for Inter v Torino, residents of Campania for Inter v Napoli, residents of Emilia Romagna for Inter v Sassuolo, Inter v Parma and Inter v Cesena. The same system applies to all teams/regions. For Inter v Atalanta games, only residents of the province of Bergamo must have a card, whilst for the Inter v AC Milan derby, there are no restrictions in place."

I would assume that they're going to play safe. It's no skin off their noses to restrict our numbers and make their jobs easier. -
Not at all. I heard no misconceptions from those who wanted to remain. Primarily because they wanted the status quo.

For my response I am reminded of the Life of Brian. 'But how shall we fûck off oh Lord?'

Totally agree. The problem lies within the Home Office who, despite all the government's attempts, have no stomach or desire to do anything about reducing the numbers.
-
They didn't, that is what is called 'democracy'. Can this please be the last of this 'loser' and 'winners' mentality which, quite frankly, belongs in the school playground where it belongs. There are no winners in this sorry mess.
