Trump wants to stop "equality and diversity training", saying it is "divisive anti- American propaganda". Of course he is correct; for many white Americans their values mean other 'races' are there to be exploited, and in the case of the original locals, their land is there for the taking.

Same here.

Other than the obvious commercial desperation, why do teams need 3 kits ? Play in your main kit unless you are away and there is a colour clash.

Wes needs to get his 'Lib Dumbs' quip on as many threads as possible, in the hope that eventually he will find somebody that thinks it is amusing.

This is exactly what I'm seeing as well. If I select the thread with the latest post, as show on the forum home page, I can get to that thread, and also navigate from there to the 'next unread' thread. However, if I select 'Go to topic listing', from the bottom left of the page, I get timed out and 'Bad gateway'. It also fails if, for instance, I select The Lounge from the main menu page.

It is a music hall song written to bolster English morale when the Italian/Polish chancer Bonnie Prince Charlie and his highlanders were thought to be marching on London, hence the oft ignored lines about Marshall Wade crushing " rebellious scots".

I can just imagine MoPe standing up to Les, "If you sign Jimenez over Carrillo I'll quit".

More so than the Government, at least.

The issue with fish stocks is that the buggers move, whether migrating to and from breeding grounds, following their food species, or due to localised climatic events such as shifting currents. They don't recognise the demarcation lines that we humans draw on maps. It would need a lot of international co-operation to truly have a positive effect.

IT migrations are always likely to encounter unforseen issues, eg TSB. Just be thankful this wasn't a Government IT application.

Wes, I don't disagree about the state of UK fisheries with regard to how the EU affects and impacts on it, especially as I have direct local knowledge of how the Fleetwood fleet has disappeared completely. I just feel that Brexit will not deliver an effective change unless much more direct intervention is seen from the Government, and given that we are talking about an industry that represents less than 1% of the economy, other priorities will divert the Government's attention in the coming few years.

The 6th former Trump aide to face prosecution.

The CFP determines how much of the total fishery in the EEZ is allocated to each EU member state, and each state then makes it's own decision as to how to apportion it's share. The UK Government has passed responsibility for the quotas for Scotland and NI to the devolved assemblies, whilst merging the Welsh share, which is minscule, wth England's. Within the Anglo-Welsh arrangement the overall quota is split between Producer Organisations, generally collectives of fishermen in specific home ports, and then this is distributed based on Fixed Quota Allocations, calculated on boat size and historic landing data. However, the Government enabled a market in FQAs which meant that individual allocations coud be traded, and consequently most of them have been accumulated and consolidated by a small number of companies, several of which are foreign, who then lease the allocations to their own boats. For instance, the FQA for the Fleetwood PO was sold off to a Spanish company, which moved the quota to it's own ships, and now means that whilst Fleetwood remains as a registration port for fishing vessels, none actually sail from there any more. When we leave the CFP, we will control 100% of our defined fishery, but the FQA system will remain, as it is nothing to do with the EU. Therefore, to regain 'control' the UK Government will need to address the market in and ownership of transferable quotas. ( I think this is how it works. )

Write to BoJo and suggest he follows Australia's example. They outlawed super-trawlers after the Margiris was spotted fishing in their waters.
