Why the vote of no confidence? I thought that Johnson was playing a blinder. 😁

Ok. I give up. Carry on with counting your Brexit benefits. Nice to see that you now understand that we wouldn't have to join the Euro to join the Single Market as you thought s few hours ago. Progress.

Ok. No personal insults but you clearly do not know what you are going on about. Ellwood 's article has evidently gone right over your head. Have you read it? The Single Market came about in 1993. It was not the same as the old common market. EU states are all in the Single Market along with non EU countries such as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. To make it clear YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN THE EU TO BE IN THE SINGLE MARKET. Margaret Thatcher was one of the leading architects of the Single Market. She could see the economic benefits of being part of a market of 320 million people. Look up her speech at Lancaster House in 1988. The debates back in 2017/ 2019 about a "soft Brexit" and "hard Brexit" were essentially about whether we stayed in the Single Market or completely cut off all links with European countries. At the time of the referendum people like Daniel Hannon and Michael Gove claimed that the debate was not about the Single Market. According to them we would be staying in that even if we left the EU. Boris's "oven ready" Brexit deal has seen us leave the Single Market and Ellwood (a Tory MP) is advocating rejoining it. Go on. Read Ellwood's piece. You may learn something.

There is no need to ditch the pound to rejoin one of Thatcher's proudest achievements - the Single Market. Either you are stupid and don't know the difference between the Single Market and the EU or you decided to comment on something without bothering to read it. That would also make you pretty stupid.

Far, far too sensible for the current Conservative party and it's media cheerleaders. What a state this country is in. https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/we-can-upgrade-brexit-and-ease-the-cost-of-living-by-going-back-to-the-single-market

To be fair he only played 15 games for Hull. Is that too early to pass judgement on his ability ?

Apparently he owned one of the horses running in the 3.45 race. It lost😁. Mickey Channon trained a winner today. 😁

... And Anfield in the League Cup semi final. What a moment!!

I'm not sure how you work that out. Last summer in the Euros we won 4 nil in Ukraine but limped to a miserable 0 -0 with Scotland. Add in the traditional Scottish / Welsh hostility to England and I would prefer Ukraine any day.

If Johnson goes there could be one hell of a fight for the leadership. The swivels such as Baker and Davis have been very vocal in their dislike of Johnson. Like Duckie, they see him as a pinko and will want to replace him with a "true Tory". On the other side there are the pinkos. The likes of Ellwood and Tugenhadt who have often seemed not to fit in a Johnson government. They are probably far too sensible for the Conservative party membership's seal of approval. Hunt has been rejected once by the Tories and maybe damaged goods now. Interestingly the "diving wardrobe" Pompey Penny is shortish odds (8/1) with the bookies to become the next leader. As a Brexiteer who doesn't seem to be a swivel could she be the compromise choice?

Bring back Pounds, shillings and pence. Before this decimalisation rubbish Britain had an empire.

i exprct that,is when you also learned how to count. 😁

Isn't it strange how it is always Liverpool fans have trouble getting into grounds. Man City fans, Chelsea fans, Arsenal fans or any other fans never seem to have any issues.

Duckie would think that Genghis Khan was a Commie.

,,,, and preferably written on Twitter forwarded by a spotty 14 year old.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Stop waffling. Just admit that you made a mistake and move on. It's not as if it would be the first mistake you have made on this forum. 😁

So you vote Conservative on what sounds like moral grounds. I think you are a little confused. You prefer to vote for a party led by a serial adulterer. A party which has to contest 2 by elections because one of its MP s is now serving time for sexually assaulting a child and another one was addicted to watching porn. A party which has had to suspend one of its MPs due to sexual assault. A party which has told one of its MPs not to turn up to Parliament as he has been arrested for rape. You prefer to vote for a party where 3 cabinet ministers have been accused of sexual assault. Blimey. You do have a strange thought process.

It seems that Tory MPs don't agree with you https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/johnson-gray-report-election-lost

How about waiting to see if we get him before getting worked up. It's going to be a long,long summer if we jump on every Twitter rumour.

Good old Saintsweb. Let's write a player off . Not after he has played a few times for us . Not after he has made his debut . Not after he has signed but after some dodgy bloke who 99% of us haven't heard of links us with him on Twitter. Ah well. I am sure he is crap.

As part of the general end of season review I was contemplating the most inane comment I had heard on a radio phone in. I don't know whether callers are being screened better before going on air but this season nothing really stands out. The award would probably go to the (so called) Citeh fans who wanted Pep to be sacked after they failed to win a match. My favourite of all time came a couple of years ago when a Liverpool fan phoned in. A relatively young lad he proudly claimed that he "was not just a supporter for the good times." He had supported Liverpool "through the bad times as well." Blimey. Imagine supporting a team that could only finish 8th. 😁

I have to confess that until recently I was in the Lord Duckhunter "Dog and Duck" school of thought about women's football. I never showed much interest in it and thought it was just a passing fad. Our girls's performance this season has made me change my opinion. I have followed their scores and yesterday was the first time that I have seen the team play. I saw some good football and I was impressed. You can see that they have been coached well and have enthusiasm and energy. Articles like the one below also help in increasing my understanding of the women's game. I await following the team's performance in the Championship next season. Ah well. Something else that I now disagree with Duckie about. 😁 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/may/21/southampton-women-win-promotion-to-second-tier-after-victory-against-wolves?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Oth

Great victory for the girls.

Let's just hope that you are not around when there is a "major trial". You have posted pretty often on the subject of a "minor trial". God knows how the forum would cope with all your posts if you started to opine on the subject of a "major trial". 😁
