The old Ken Clarke solution. Can’t win the vote, don’t have one. The people’s representatives set the rules for the vote, they could have insisted on anything & were remain dominant. The reason they allowed a vote & a straight 50% + 1. Was simple, they thought they’d win it and put Nigel back in his box. As Anna Subry later cried “ I wouldn’t have voted for a referendum if I’d known we’d lose”. Who cares about democracy, the EU love in trumps that.

Why don’t they just allow blokes to go in goal? If it makes the game more popular that’s a more practical suggestion than tight fitting kit.

He has. The trap that the UK Euro fanatics did for years, particularly perfected by Little Johnie Major & Call me Dave. Trying to con the electorate into thinking they’re not a raging federalist. Cameron did it for years, how many times did he make out he was pulling out of the ECHR, safe in the knowledge he wouldn’t, but that voters would consider him Euro sceptic. It’s all about perception, but ends up eroding support for The EU

Absolutely unbelievable.

I’m not a Tory, I’ve voted for them for specific reasons, but I’ve no love for the band of pinkos that call themselves Tories these days. I’m a small state conservative and as such oppose this measure. You can’t want a smaller state, until it comes to protecting your own money and you suddenly want a bigger state. I’m against this despite being a beneficiary of it. Morally, it’s wrong, it also won’t work. Until there’s a radical reform of the NHS & Social care nothing will change

This is not about funding social care, it’s already funded. Not a penny more will go into social care, this is about replacing private funding with public money. If this was about giving people decent care and dignity, and not having to live in shit conditions with minimum wage people caring for them, I’d be all for it. It’s not,. The manifesto pledge to “sort social care” didn’t mean making it better or radically changing it, it meant ensuring people could pass more inheritance onto their kids. Paid for my everyone else.

Fucking hell, we’re becoming a right Noddy club

Only it’s not a tax to “fund” social care. It’s a tax that transfers the cost of social care from relatively well off individuals, to the state. The poor already have their social care paid for.

They’ll set a cap, which will protect middle class inheritance.

You haven’t put it as I would, but you’re exactly right in your analysis of what this is. It’s not extra money to pay for something people aren’t getting, it’s not extra money to make social care better, it’s basically a policy to make sure middle class & rich people can keep more of their own money, which they can pass onto their beneficiaries. Whether it’s right or wrong is a different debate, but people need to acknowledge what this is.

Fucking hell, they’re still banging on about it. Instead of constantly refighting the last referendum, do something about it. Nigel did something about it, starting from a much lower base. Why won’t OBrian, Adonis or other whinging entitled brats become Rejoins Nigel. They won’t, because they don’t want to put the hard yards in,haven’t got the political nous and they know they’re out of step with the great British public, far easier to whine and moan from the sidelines. If it’s as disastrous as claimed, it should me easy to build momentum and get back in, they won’t because it’s all an act.

I don’t think they have done in the past. From memory separate competitions were treated separately, but I maybe wrong.

What colour is the Spurs Manager? Clubs would employ the Taliban leader if it guaranteed them success, so the thought they would not choose the best man because of his skin colour is bizarre. If they’re good enough they’ll get the job regardless of colour , it’s as simple as that

If he serves us as well as Cedric did, I’d be happy.
-
If he was doing that well, he’d be at another club. Longevity at our club isn’t a sign of doing a great job, it’s a sign nobody bigger wants you.

Shame. I thought he had something about him. -
Jack Stephens to play a big role in this season
Lord Duckhunter replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
Dave Merrington blamed KWP for the first one, never mentioned Stephens. Wonder why? -

That chump makes it unwatchable. Together with the fuckwits that hang around the grounds trying to get into camera, they’ve spoilt what could be a half decent evening programme

I used to think Forster was a great keeper till I saw he voted remain.

It was one of the most obvious red cards ever, absolutely no doubt about it. You’re too biased.

Where's our next clean sheet going to come from?
Lord Duckhunter replied to Disco Stu's topic in The Saints
Is he getting a pay ride though?
