Les. Don't accuse others of naivety when you patently don't have a clue. Its not a good look pal. Glasshouses and all that, especially when Tamesaint is broadly correct. Insofar as JRM has mentioned uncertainty, he's not speaking in investment terms - 'speculative risk' to use your dopey expression. He's talking about regulatory uncertainty over the UK's future relationship with the EU and the concerns that asset managers might be cut off from EU-based investors after Brexit if the UK loses its passporting rights. Of course, this is not only the reason to launch a replica product range in Ireland -tax considerations also make it very attractive to clients; but it is clearly an important factor as the likes of L&G, M&G and Threadneedle Columbia have shown. In other words, this has nothing to do with investments going up and down. Its about being able to access and serve European clients -and anything that potentially makes this more difficult is pure downside.

As Andrew Neil says, with friends like Dyson, Brexiteers don’t really need enemies. Then again he would say that, he’s a leftie according to Les’ iron laws of the universe. Oh wait Les you would embarrass yourself a lot less if you were able to judge cases on their merits, not interpret and mangle everything according your rigid, cultish worldview.

It's fair to say the backlash against you over the past few days has been absolutely brutal -as brutal as I've seen on a mongboard. Those with weaker constitutions might never recover from such a battering. But as bad as it gets, don't sell yourself short and get into bed with oddballs like Always. You're better than that pal. And just remember some of us still have faith in you and will continue to champion your ITK cause. Hope tmrw's lunch goes well.

He was Henri Camara’s and Fabrice Fernandes agent.

Thanks Derry and West Stand for the continued ‘required reading’. It’s fascinating, notwithstanding the very tragic circumstances.

Pretty minor compared to JRM’s claim on live TV that Corbyn voted against the Good Friday Agreement.

A real moral vacuum, right pal.

Our very own Elton and David (Furnish) to rival Grant and Phil.

How easy is it to ditch? Can’t help but think you’re a goner if you’re attempting a water landing and all the preflight safety info on it is more for keeping up appearances.

That told him.

Trust someone defending Pellegrino (the next Fergie?) and Hughes coming to the rescue of this ****. Just a shame we can’t fully shift Hoedt off the books and free up money for needed reinforcements elsewhere.

Professionally, he's a massive bellend, Derek. Why wouldn't anyone not say that to his face?

How are the deals for the genk players coming along?

Don’t feel intimidated pal. You keep doing your stuff.

Les did you go to this? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/21/england-rebel-spirit-no-deal-brexit

That's the problem with you Les - you have zero understanding of history.

Sounds like you're bit of an authority on his work Les. How do you think Britain handled the process of decolonisation in India?

You said that Soros is funding those pressing for a Federal United States of Europe. Those links are a nonsequitur pal. What do you make of Pankaj Mishra's article?

It always comes back to Soros, doesn't it Les. Why is that?

This place career from one extreme to the other. Nah never... Like you, I’ve defended Redmond in the past; but I’m not blind to his limitations. I stick by my assertion that his ceiling is Aaron Lennon in his prime.

The blood was visible from space.
