As for the basic science that underpins commercial innovations such as Dyson’s hoovers or electric cars: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07146-x F**k science.

Watching BBC2? Liberal metropolitan elite.

Same question here - they say they’re working to get it running again but I won’t hold my breath.

Again you’re confusing very different things -freedom of movement and frictionless trade. It has freedom of movement for all intents and purposes; however it doesn’t have frictionless trade as its hotchpotch of bilateral agreements with the EU don’t cover all sectors (notably financial sector passporting) and it is not part of the customs union which allows it to negotiate its own trade deals, including horribly lobsided agreements with countries like China. It’s hard to see how the Swiss model would please jihadists like Les and his mancrush Pat; it involves significantly less control over EU immigration in return for even less access to EU markers, though it does mean that Switzerland is not subject to the jurisdiction of the ECJ (though reforms are being discussed which would grant the ECJ some role).

Hello. Are you ready for a fresh start after all your lies and fibs on the thread about Saints spending in the championship/L1? I’m happy to say it’s water under the bridge if you are pal.

Why are you conflating immigration from EU member states in Eastern Europe and refugees displaced by the civil war in the Middle East. Utterly different things. A quarter of the Swiss population is foreign (significantly higher than the UK). The vast majority of that comes from EU member states. And no it isn’t free movement in name only. Apart from a few minor concessions, it is signed up (admittedly grudgingly) to the same rules as other EU states, though like those states but unlike the UK it takes advantage of all the flexibilities built into the regime governing freedom of movement.

What do you mean by closed? They're certainly not frictionless as rentagobs like ciaran the van driver have physically documented. Also worth remembering that the structure of the Swiss economy is very different from that of the UK: for example its percentage of domestic value-added in exports is much larger than other midsized economies, meaning that it adds much of the value of exports itself. In other words, unlike the UK, it is far less integrated in just-in-time production networks where the costs of even minor delays at the border can be considerable.

Notoriously Corbynist blog - how do you work that one out?

You've never seen batman scale and gut a mackerel then.

I'm with you coleslaw. Think we'll win this one.

Les - i assume you did watch the video, you senile cretin? It was a ponderous, predictable piece about remainers throwing a tantrum, demanding a second referendum. It’s even in the video title ‘the people’s vote’. Yet as I made it jawdroppingly clear I don’t currently support a second referendum - hence the basic premise of your characterisation is wrong. Still if saying bang to rights, down to a tee over and over again without any justification makes you feel less silly, fill your boots. Maybe it was a good idea you stayed away from this thread for so long because each time post, you invariably a fool of yourself. Maybe it’s time to do yourself a favour and take another break pal.

I clearly said I am uncomfortable with a second referendum. So no Les the only thing you’ve managed to show is that you and your little video are completely clueless about peoples motives and thinking. Banged to rights indeed

Watch out for the army and navy chefs.

He could unpick the lock on fort knox.

You’re all over the place pal. Large majorities around the EU support freedom of movement for workers (which at any rate is not unconditional and the UK has chosen not to implement in full). You might be confusing things with the refugee crisis, illegal migration, people coming from countries outside the EU and aspects of Schengen but that has nowt to do with what Cameron was negotiating over.

Poor old pat talks even more crap than you pal FWIW I am uncomfortable with a second referendum/people’s vote unless there is a major shift in opinion and so far there hasn’t been one.

His positioning and reading of the game are generally woeful.

Agree.

Frankly if we’re going to keep hoofing it, might as well play Long up top and let Ings play off him. That’s when he’s looked at his sharpest.

Was it in Nairobi pal?

It was a solid performance. Nothing more. We kept them at the bay with relative ease but rarely cut them open and were horrifically direct.

Good result, no lack of effort but very little quality.

What is this route one s**t.
