  1. I don't think for one minute May is going to take too much notice of Sturgeon with 16m leave voters looking over her shoulder. Scotland because they have chosen to elect 59 SNP MPs has made itself an irrelevance to the Conservatives. May in the end will only be interested in satisfying the demands of the majority of Conservative voters who are predominately Leavers and keeping UKIP off her back. Sturgeon is living in cloud cuckoo land if she thinks she can veto anything.
  2. If they follow your template the Conservatives will be buried by the leave vote switching to UKIP. In the end if we will fail to reach an agreement with the EU, acceptable to the Conservative Leave voters, the Conservatives will see they have run out of time and deeply unpopular with their own supporters will panic faced with losing the 2020 GE and pull the plug on the EU. You lefties will have no effect on the result because it will be people like me that will switch to UKIP. The Conservatives fear this already so your left wing predictions just like The Conservatives not winning the 2015 GE, and Remain winning the referendum are already missing the point. The Leave voters will drive this government out of the EU sooner rather than later on their terms.
  3. It's not until the final friendly a week before the league start that a proper eleven is picked. Mostly 45mins mix and match before that with everybody getting a go.
  4. Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary, David Davis Brexit Minister, Liam Fox International Trade, contrary to wishful thinking it sounds like we are about to play hardball with the EU. In the end the neatest solution is no agreement and just walk away. That should concentrate minds at the EU. The Government has no wriggle room, they either get a result or they will lose the next election with UKIP benefiting enormously with the support of a disillusioned leave vote of traditional Conservative and Labour voters. Even a UKIP majority if Labour implode and split.
  5. There is no point in entering it if we don't use it to give experience of men's football to the academy players.
  6. Probably a guide to how things will go with the EU is it's failure to close out deals with major countries. The Article 50 is a unique situation for the EU. At the end of two years we are out if we want. The EU can extend it if they want but not if we don't want. Probably so we can get on with our lives we should repeal the 1972 act and take the EU out of our laws. Triggering article 50 and negotiating in parallel with talking to countries that want deals outside the EU. Negotiating with the EU is a two way street and if there is no agreement, which I'm sure there won't be inside two years unless either cave in. The Conservatives can't because a majority of it's voters are for leave. The next election would be a definite loss if they can't satisfy their voters with the outcome. They are totally boxed in. Anything else is wishful thinking.
  7. Theresa May has one major problem, it may have been overlooked but she can't govern without the Brexit MPs supporting her in Parliament. Therefore we are coming out and it really doesn't matter if we don't have a deal with the EU. It's probably the neatest split anyway. Better to play hard ball if they don't want to deal rather than capitulate as some on here would rather see. I think it is better to be Britain first and the EU wherever they want to be.
  8. It looks like the Labour party have royally ****ed themselves for the foreseeable future. Can't say I'm sorry, they've been a rabble for too long. probably a couple of parties will come out of this with predictable results. Ukip could do well in the north out of this. Having voted out once, those Labour voters from the last GE might well do the same next time.
  9. She read out a statement at 1215, Grayling, May's COS made a statement at 1245 ish.
  10. May has been fenced in by a strong Brexit vote which will be reflected by a powerful representation in the cabinet and the negotiations led by Brexit supporters. We can now get on with it now rather than waste another two months. It won't be Norway, Canada or even Switzerland but it will be out and immigration will be restricted.
  11. More likely swell the ranks of the couldn't give a toss.
  12. It's 48% of those that voted but about 35% of registered voters not half the nation. It's also probably a very small number that are whingeing. A dozen people keeping this thread going with about half a dozen remainers on every day. Most people have voted and accept the result.
  13. This refers to cleaning out after the students departed and left an enormous amount of polling cards or postal votes never returned. Obviously registered but didn't follow through.
  14. Only if the country falls on it's arse and the EU becomes Shangri La. I see the IMF are issuing grave warnings regarding the EU, didn't take them long.
  15. I know it was only one university's halls of residence but it was probably repeated across the country, arranging postal votes and not bothering and polling cards not used just waiting to be thrown out, is hardly indicative of a generation deprived of it's vote. Just couldn't care less more like.
  16. I think this year the U21s have become U23s with three matches against FL opposition initially more if progression strengthened by some over age players.
  17. At the last two Conservative leadership contests the membership rejected the MP's choice. this time they have even more reason to do the same. Leadsome has a decent chance of becoming PM followed rapidly by activation of Article 50.
  18. I won't be disappointed, but 17.5m will get even at the next general election. Most of the existing MPs will either be deselected or will be voted out. The Labour and Conservative parties will be decimated. I'd pretty much settle for that, then we'll come out.
  19. There was a referendum before which you along with others on here banking on a remain result neither questioned the referendum or it's outcome. You completely misjudged two things firstly that more people would vote to leave than remain and the number eligible to vote who didn't give a stuff either way. The Labour and Conservative parties have formed governments with far fewer votes than voted to leave and nobody complained. It is pure conjecture and mostly fabrication that large numbers of leave voters have changed their minds. The referendum was a one subject question and got it's answer. We are coming out of the EU and good riddance.
  20. Maybe I've got it wrong. I thought we had a referendum which your lot lost by 1.5m votes. You few on here that seemingly think they are the experts with those that want out misguided fools, whinge on endlessly dredging up statistics that apart from you nobody is really interested in. I voted out, Leave won, as long as the politicians carry out the will of the electorate, which they will as they don't have the courage to face the consequences, and we depart the EU, the UK will go it's own way and thrive. Any other result and the three mainstream parties are finished and we will come out anyway.
  21. The uncontrolled immigration lost the referendum along with, Human Rights and Sovereignty, not the economy that Remain banked on, because most people have been screwed for so long they didn't care and still don't.
  22. The majority Eurosceptic grassroots Conservative voters would get that straight away and probably vote Gove in as a response. I'm sure May's campaign are frightened that anything like that would be held against her as she has a hard enough job winning a majority of the members as it stands.
  23. Because virtually all those that voted leave would be disenfranchised and would react on mass against the established parties that they previously supported. That would lose the established parties a massive number of voters who would place their vote in the only place possible, UKIP. The established parties know that the game is up and they can't afford to lose the votes. The remain vote will be for it's traditional parties so would be split. It won't happen as we are coming out. Once the Eurosceptic grassroots Conservatives vote, the party leader will probably be Andrea Leadsome despite Theresa May's support amongst the mainly pro EU Parliamentary party as she hasn't got that level of support outside.
  24. If there is any attempt to wriggle out of the majority decision it will probably lead to the Left wing's worst nightmare. A UKIP majority government with the collapse of the Labour/Conservative/Liberal vote. 17.5m votes is about 4m more than Blair got in his best year landslide and 43% of the vote, no complaints then. The Conservatives are probably only too aware of this and any backsliding is going to be wishful thinking on the part of those that don't believe in democracy.
  25. I wouldn't mind betting after project fear it will be anybody but a Remain when the grassroots vote.
