Nature or evolution didn't make man eat an infected animal, or other people spread it. Some may say God made man do that. I don't buy that. If we're being told the truth, a man ate a bat thus bringing this stuff into the human race. Humans then made decisions which allowed this to spread. It's man made. I'm not saying it's deliberate, but on a God thread, I'm saying it's not God made. That leaves only man.

Dim, jeez. If I'm the kettle, you're a fucking massive pot. Who's responsible for Covid getting into humans and spreading Weston. Man, God, the fairies, or something else. Come on, admit it ain't God, and you don't seem like a fairy kind of man...

Thanks. The tariffs are not a "casual" impact of brexit. We are caught by them because of brexit and not agreeing a "free trade deal without quotas or tariffs" that Boris said we had. I think you're desire to be right is stopping you from seeing what is clear as day. Answer me this please: 1. would we be caught by tariffs / quotas on steel exports to the EU if brexit had not happened? 2. would we be caught by tariffs / quotas on steel exports to the EU if we had a free trade deal without tariffs / quotas in respect of steel products? We both know the answers but I doubt you'll have the grace to accept that you're wrong.

Weston, again you're not keeping up mate. This is a "God" thread. The simple point, that's sadly too complicated for you, is that it's not a God made virus. That leaves man, or the fairies, or hmm. It's a man made virus, and whether that is through design or negligence is a separate matter, but if a man ate a dodgy bat, it's man made. Nice attempt with the shovel, but you're not bright enough for put downs.

KWP isn't AMN. Others may see a premier league LB in AMN but I don't. Wing back, sure, but not a left back in a 4.

I know that you have a little issue with my posts Weston, but take a deep breath mate and read all the words. You missed out "one way or another". Some believe it was made by a man eating a contaminated animal. That's one way. Others have different views. I've covered all bases and offered no view. God bless you.

Weston, not sure what you're reading but the first link you posted on the point clarified what this is about. We had a brexit vote before 2018. Then on 2018, in anticipation of brexit, we were the subject of measures on our steel exports. Those measures were expected to go. Since 1st January this year, as a result of brexit, our steel exports are subject to quotas and tariffs thus: 1. when Boris says we have a tariff /quota free trade deal he's lying 2. we have that because of Brexit 3. you're wrong, again.

King for Long would be decent. I'm not convinced by AMN personally, there's a reason he's about 4th choice LB for Arsenal,, including behind an out of position Cedric. His signing has a feeling of "yeah, he'll do".

That's either a flippant comment or based on a lack of understanding. There's no stopping what man has done. Some dinlo has made this virus (one way or another) and other dinlos continue to spread it. It'd be like starting a fire, letting it spread uncontrollably and sitting back to wait for God rather than phone for the firemen.

Amen to that 🙏

I think she did actually. Bearsy, Tokyo Saint and her were posting a lot on there. There's quite a few old names who pop up on there.

I forgot about that thread. Poor fella got battered. Little reminder in there about Coxford Lou. She was a decent poster.

You may want to read those links Weston, and a bit more besides. The 2018 safeguarding measures were raised after the brexit vote in anticipation of brexit. The expectation was that they would ease but they did not, and the actual changes were "proposed" in October 2020, then introduced in 1st January. However you want to approach this, our steel exports are tariff and quota laden as a result of Brexit.

Yep, phenomenal achievement. My folks had theirs today and the reassurance it's given them is fantastic.

As usual Weston, you miss the point. Its a very simple point that the brexit deal on this issue is a shit one, and that the deal is not "tariff free and quota free" as has been billed. If I've missed something and there are no quotas or tariffs on steel exports, post a link please. The damage to the steel industry that happened pre brexit is academic. This is a brexit thread.

No, I didn’t see the decimation of the remnants of our steel industry when I voted for brexit and I doubt anyone else did. "Plenty of time to prepare...". Please explain how the steel industry could have prepared for reduced output and tariffs, other than by reducing its output, and consequently a shedding number of jobs. No amount of smart arse answers will alter the fact that this is damaging.

It was. If he could defend he'd be a good defender.

Indeed. Paddy Power agree too. This says it all.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55845067 Very poor. Our tariff and quota free arrangement is far from it. Tata steel UK employs 8,000 people. With these tariffs and quotas, that looks at risk. Even more worrying is that British exports to NI get included in the quota. Some "free trade" deal that is. The notion that we'll go back and get something from the EU is fanciful, especially after the vaccine stuff.

Yep. He seemed to have the trust of his team mates who fed him the ball (apart from one moment when JWP, I think, made the wrong choice by ignoring him). Always available, used the ball well, looked strong and confident. I hope that he gets more football. He's a big talent.

And my mate has just bought a new Breitling and leased a new Porsche...doesn't mean that I can afford to do so.
