I'm not sure which page of the playbook RaHa wants the team to be on, but they certainly haven't found it yet.

"A pro-Brexit campaign group with ties to a neoliberal transatlantic network and climate science denial is emerging as a potentially influential player pushing for environmental deregulation and a “no deal” scenario. Economists for Free Trade (EFT), formerly known as Economists for Brexit, has made the news recently following its report claiming that a cliff edge Brexit and adoption of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules would be “the very best” option for the UK. The group claims to be a coalition of independent economists, but it has strong ties to Brexiteer Conservative MPs, right-leaning mainstream media and some well-known climate science deniers. The group has long been pushing for a full break-up with the EU and has accused the Treasury and civil servants of misleading the public on the costs of Brexit and staying in the customs union. The group’s findings that “no deal would be better than a bad deal” have contradicted most other studies on the issue and have been widely criticised as “doubly misleading”." https://www.desmog.co.uk/2018/08/09/economists-free-trade-meet-independent-experts-ties-climate-science-denial-pushing-no-deal-brexit

Sorry GM, but you left a bit of an open goal.

Do we have a competent striker in the squad ?

What odds on a Vote of No Cofidence in the Government, if the upcoming Commons vote rejects Maybot's proposal ? What odds on a GE following such a No Confidence vote ?

Is that a good idea ?

Indeed, and the link that WG posted is merely the opening couple of minutes of a speech that is actually against the UN Global Compact for Migration; This is the EU press release ; http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-18-6417_en.htm "It includes concrete actions that will help States to reduce irregular migration, for example through enhanced cooperation on addressing the drivers of migration, fighting trafficking in human beings and smuggling of migrants, managing borders and facilitating return" "The Global Compact on Migration is not legally binding. Therefore, no legal obligations arise under domestic or international law for participating States." “The Global Compact reaffirms the sovereign right of States to determine their national migration policy and their prerogative to govern migration within their jurisdiction, in conformity with international law.” "The Global Compact aims at improving cooperation on international migration. It does not encourage migration, nor discourage it." An the UK is committed to signing the Compact; https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1053064/United-nations-Global-Compact-for-Safe-Orderly-and-Regular-Migration-Alistair-Burt-italy “As a leading voice in the negotiations, the UK Government secured positive outcomes in the final text which clearly support the Prime Minister’s main objectives as set out in her speech to the United Nations General Assembly.” He added: “This includes a clear differentiation between refugees and migrants; the recognition of a state’s right to control their borders and proposals to help states build capacity in this area; and an explicit acknowledgement of states’ responsibility to accept the return of their nationals who no longer have the right to remain elsewhere.”

And strikers who can't score.

Saints played Martina, Clasie, Reed, and McQueen, and in fact made 8 changes from the preceding win against Everton.

Exactly how 'free' do you expect to be on 30th March 2019 ?

Looks like we're in for a long wait then.

True dat.

It depends on your definition of 'reasonable'; in some places, having a darker complexion is sufficient grounds for a judgement of guilt.

Does that mean we actually had 'control of our borders' ?

The Police have arrested a mafia member for drowning a rival mafioso in the port of Taranto. He has been charged with harbouring a criminal.

He did a 'community visit' to the primary school my wife taught in, in Fleetwood, and every 3rd word he spoke was a crudity. A truly vile example of humanity.

How many goalkeeping/ex-goalkeeper coaches do we have ?
