It looks like it's only the US personnel in northern Syria that are being pulled out. This ensures that they won't get in the way of Turkey's planned attacks on the Kurdish held areas.

Are you saying that the 'divorce bill', whether it be £35Bn or £39Bn, is extortion and blackmail, as DaneGeld would have been. I thought it was to cover the UK's financial commitments up to 2020, which, incidentally, will include the pensions and 'golden goodbyes' of all the MEPs - Nige is rumoured to be due £150K.

GM, having quoted "Dane Geld", are you implying that the EU are threatening an armed invasion of the U K ?

Rudyard Kipling, described by George Orwell as "a jingo imperialist", who was "morally insensitive and aesthetically disgusting", and who's poem "Ulster" was described as a "direct appeal to ignorance and a deliberate attempt to foster religious hate".

GM seems to have sent the PM a candidate for seizing the title of 'Longest suicide note in history' from the 1983 Labour manifesto.

If it reads like , it probably is .

And the 80million Turks just waiting for Turkey to jon the EU and give them an express lane straight to Calais.

Sounds a bit like 1930s European dictatorships.

Bruce or Hughes, both Man Utd legends, or big fat Sam - always a good bet for struggling teams who sack their manager at Christmas. Or for real lols, Wenger for the rest of the season.

Arsenal spent a fair bit of time passing it around in their own half.

That is my view, ( and I voted remain ). I'm not sure how to resolve some of the issues that come with it; NI, Gibraltar, Anguilla, etc, but I took leave to mean leave, and damn the consequences.

Which "leave' would you vote for ? 'Hard' Brexit May's fudged deal Norway, ( with however many plusses you care to add ) Canada, ( ditto )

But, does the Maybot's proposal "implement what 'we' decided" ?

Cedric is #1, Valery is currently a competent backup, who hopefully will continue to develope and challenge for the starting place.

Wes's post said that it was a pretence that there was a groundswell of opinion for a second vote. Bookies' odds tend to indicate the direction of public opinion.

Many bookies are offering odds-on for a second public vote. That's a lot of 'pretending'.

It only needs 2% to have done so.

Which 3rd party is making the decision ? The original decision was indeed made by the electorate, who may subsequently, it seems to some, have changed their mind once the truth of the situation started to emerge.

Is it a crap analogy because it doesn't fit your personal perspective ? If you terminate membership of a club you don't go through extended negotiations to determine how much money you might still owe them, or which perks of membership you still want to retain, you tear up your membership card and are escorted to the door.

In points terms, ManUre are closer to bottom club Fulham than they are to 2nd placed Citeh. Taxi for Jose ?

BBC have him as MOTM.

Chas has scored in every game he has played against Arsenal.

If a couple agree to divorce because the wife wants to leave the husband, and all the preliminaries are completed, but the wife then changes her mind, do they have to go through with the decree nisi, or can the papers be withdrawn ?
