  1. Bob Corker equates the White House to an adult day care centre, and Rex Tillerson does not deny that he called POTUS a moron. Add in Mike Pence's stage managed abortive visit to the Indianapolis Colts, and it becomes more obvious that Government by Twit​ter is probably not good for PR.
  2. Born on the same day as my eldest son. I'm sure they were switched at birth. ( Notwithstanding the 240 miles between the hospitals ).
  3. Metropolitan Police metpoliceuk The incident in #ExhibitionRoad #SouthKensington earlier is not being treated as a terror-related incident. It is a road traffic collision.
  4. The main point that is intended in relation to the mention of the Bombardier tarriffs is that if the US can impose a 300% surcharge despite a trade agreement being in place, is there any point in claiming that a post-Brexit trade deal with the US will in any way work to our benefit ? Secondly, this imposition has a direct impact on the UK, and shows how little real influence we have, and are likely to maintain, over the selfish interests of a protectionist United States Department of Commerce. There has never been a direct link between the tarriffs and the Brexit vote, real or implied.
  5. If the US airlines cannot buy the aircraft, what use is there for the factory in Belfast that makes the wings ? Also, there is a lot of value placed in the concept of a post-Brexit trans-Atlantic trade deal; the US has such a deal with Canada, and this is how they act. Trump is an out and out protectionist, and the balance of power in any 'negotiations' will be heavily skewed in their favour.
  6. The US has increased the tariff on Bombardier aircraft, it is now 300%.
  7. What, like believing in a mythical all powerful entity, who will grant them a harem full of virgins for eternity if only they commit a particular form of suicide ?
  8. There is one pre-requisite for a lobotomy that may be problematical in Trump's case.
  9. How much does it cost to stop somebody posting completely ?
  10. We won't sell in January. More importantly, Liverpool won't make a bid.
  11. Thank you for the pointless history lesson, informing me of nothing I was not already aware of. You know perfectly well that I was referring to the way that the services and social functions of Catalonia are closely integrated with Spain, and trying to create a truly independent state would be a lot harder than the UK divorcing from the EU. This is as compared to Monaco, which whilst closely linked to France, has been independent and in control of it's own destiny since the Kingdom of Sardinia disolved in the mid 1800s, long before any of the modern technical and financial entanglements came into existence.
  12. There is a vast difference between a state that has been independent for centuries, and attempting to disentangle a region from it's multiplicity of interactions and obligations with a modern integrated society.
  13. It's almost Catch-22; you would have to be insane to want to own high powered automatic firearms, but if you are insane then you shouldn't be allowed to own them.
  14. If Catalonia were to declare independence, could the Spanish FA kick Barcelona out of La Liga ?
  15. You don't need heavy calibre fully automatic military hardware to take down bambi.
  16. Longer than that !
  17. So Tessie May is going to target young voters with her vision for the future - that would be the demographic who voted 75/25 to stay in the EU. How is she going to square tht circle ?
  18. We beat West Ham.
  19. Starting with ShLong up top is never going to worry Premier League defences.
  20. The same way Man Utd did ? ( I know we lost, but we were unlucky ).
  21. That statement completely ignores VVD's contribution for 43 of the 45 minutes.
  22. That MLT didn't get more caps was a travesty, how CP even got one is a mystery.
  23. Never in doubt..... once we got to 2 balls to go.
  24. Vince out, is that our last hope gone?
  25. Harry would have been better off sticking to tanks like his dad:rolleyes:
