It wasn’t hung following Boris’s election victory he had a massive majority elected on a mandate of ‘get Brexit done’ sadly once again Boris had failed to define Brexit beyond it being ‘oven ready’ and him and his cronies they went to war over who could deliver the hardest Brexit while the venture capitalist loons in the party fought for a ‘no deal’ Brexit so they could cash in once again betting against the country. Boris and his Brexit majority chose to push through his terrible deal, the leave supporters were the ones that blocked May’s deal not remain supporting MP’s. Every time Brexit failed or failed to deliver it has been the fault of leave supporting politicians. Right down to the negotiating team showing up on day one in Brussels having done next to no prep and wandering why the EU handed them their backsides on a plate. Eventually those that have supported leave and those that have delivered it will take ownership of the massive turd sandwich and stop trying to blame those who didn’t want to leave or saying they voted for a ‘different’ Brexit.

Stuffed full of remainers? When Boris had a massive majority, a cabinet stacked with his cronies and leave supporters, Cummings pulling the strings behind the scenes and had kicked all the moderate voices out of the party? Of course it was remainers fault that a government elected on a mandate of get Brexit done led by the face of the leave campaign delivered the ultimate crap sandwich. Do you even believe the nonsense you post? The leave campaign should have been forced to either present an accurate picture of what Brexit they were asking us to choose or as I’ve said countless times we should have had a second referendum (Announced as part of the process of initiating the vote) once the Brexit deal was negotiated to decide if the deal negotiated was attractive. Both votes should have been legally binding and therefore subject to all the rules and over sight of the electoral commission. I think the only thing we agree on is Cameron should never have called the vote in the first place. He put it in the manifesto to appease the ERG fringe and expected to trade it as part of a coalition with the Lib Dem’s then he was to confident he would win. Following the vote his position as PM was untenable and I agreed with his decision to go.

I think the point being made was that Elyounoussi was very successful at Celtic but terrible here! There are loads of examples of top SPL player being found out in the premier league Barry Fergusson being a prime example!

Thanks once again for your valuable contribution

Injured at 11:00:01pm

HE had a major injury when we first signed him that he hadn't recovered from since then he has played about two minutes of football. Yes his latest injury isn't the same one but if we hadn't wasted our money on a player who had not recovered from a major injury then we might have been able to spend the money on a player who actually plays!

Nobody is blaming him but it is a total embarrassment that the club signed a player with such a serious injury before he had proven his recovery. He has been an incredible waste of money and is currently tying up wages, transfer budget and a place in the squad and his contribution to date has been ….. nothing! He might make a miraculous recovery and prove himself but it won’t change the fact we have been a man down since the day he signed .

It’s not ridiculous, during the referendum campaign leading figures on the leave side said leaving the single market and customs union was not in the national interest so you could reasonably infer that a vote to leave the EU wasn’t a vote to leave either of those arrangements. Leave could have taken a myriad of forms but was not defined in anyway so we were in effect asked to choose between the status quo and a pack of populist lies. This is why people still complain they didn’t get the Brexit they wanted, plenty still come out with the laughable Brexit in name only and nonsense about wanting no deal etc etc. when making such an important decision it would have been prudent to define the choices! nobody is ready to re-open the Brexit debate because it is too painful and damaging and would risk dividing the country and labour loosing the next election. Brexit is a disaster the evidence is pulling up and still nobody can point to the benefits!

Excellent, a long list of feels with no actual tangible benefits listed good work go straight to the top of the class! lets start with list the top three EU laws that were so awful we had to leave just to escape them and then list the new trade deals done since Brexit that come anywhere close to replacing being a member of the single market? I won't hold my breath

There is a perfectly tangible set of measurements if you want to do a Google and some basic maths. Millions of brits visit the EU every year filling out an online form isn’t going to put them off in any significant number so this measure simply takes millions of pounds out of the UK economy it is yet another Brexit bonus that hurts our country. It is really funny that not a single person can list three tangible benefits from Brexit, the last government had a minister appointed to look for them and even he couldn’t find them!

Multiply that up by the number of Brits that travel to the EU every year and you have a significant amount of money taken out of the UK economy for no gain, it is yet another Brexit ‘benefit’ that is just a drag on our economy rather than a boost. point to the Brexit boost that has put £2.33 (or more) a year in the pocket of every Brit who goes to the EU?

He’s been a solid player for us never quite kicked on to the top level but if he had he would have left long ago. He’s exactly the sort of signing we need to make to give the team consistency when we inevitably loose the better players at the club. I’d be happy for him to extend his contract.

I don’t think anyone has said everyone who voted leave was less intelligent but just because some bright people voted to leave doesn’t mean that the majority were not less well educated less intelligent people it is simple statistics that they were. These people were deliberately exploited by the vote leave campaign who as pointed out by other posters contained plenty of rich bright people who profited or benefited in other ways from us leaving the EU.

This is because Brexit was totally undefined either before or during the referendum it was just leave or remain. Theresa May is entirely responsible for the balls up that followed she drew the red lines on the single market and customs union that even Farage had said was a silly idea before the vote. I will never ever understand why we didn’t do the sensible thing and have two votes (stayed up front) first to see if people wanted to leave then a follow up once leaving had actually been defined and negotiated to see if we actually still wanted to go through with it knowing the details. Both referendums should have been binding not advisory so they were subject to full electoral rules which oddly enough don’t allow you to put a lie on the side of a bus or reproduce nazi propaganda posters… In reality nobody outside of parliament voted for the brexit we got as the people were never given any detail about what they were voting for.

All of us lost freedom to work and live in the EU the day Brexit happened and as of next year will have to pay £7 every time we want to even visit on holiday.

Who knows you have to try consistently over a long period of time to bring people round. The real question is why would you want to end freedom of movement…

Back four and front two are solid and jones wasn’t bad on his day the midfield is dire with Oakley the only half decent player!

Potentially yes if we could convince the majority it was in their interests.

We had already accepted them, we could have had much more control over freedom of movement (as it was only freedom of movement to work) but successive governments chose not to even register people arriving in the country. Once we had signed up we would have needed to renegotiate our treaties or leave we chose leave.

I think you knows that’s not how it works, but Freedom of movement would never have been introduced if ALL members had not ratified the Maastricht treaty, we elected a government that chose to do so the rest is history. Our Sovereign governments elected as representatives by the British people chose to adopt these rules that were good for our country. The UK was a basket case when we first joined and thrived as members maybe we will have to be the poor man of Europe again before the knuckle draggers support us rejoining!

Freedom of movement came in under the Maastricht treaty I believe which was ratified by our government had it not been then we would have had no freedom of movement, fishing quotas were all covered by the common fisheries policy which again we signed up to (Why do people get so bent out of shape over such a tiny UK industry?) the Brexit messiah Nige was a part of the EU committee that ran it all but unsurprisingly the work shy grifter never attended... I could go on and on! If your list of feels is the reason you knowingly chose to do the damage that has been done to our economy then I would say maybe you should have thought about it a bit more first and done some actual research this is all assuming you are not just in denial that A)you were sucked in by the bus or B) you liked nigels Nazi inspired poster (Not saying wither of those things are true but it is funny how many people try ridiculous leaps of logic to justify Brexit support when actually it was those two things that did it)

Do you have some examples of this vague load of 'feels'? The UK government was always sovereign and was always responsible for every decision it took we had a veto on EU legislation, if this vague mush is the reason people decided to knowingly damage our economy to the extent they have then I would seriously question the cost v's benefit equation but at least they would be willing to admit that A) Brexit has had a significant negative impact on the countries economy and B) that they deliberately chose this damage believing it was the right thing to do. I have a lot more time for that position than I do those that are still denying the massive financial harm that Brexit has done to our economy, I'd still disagree with you though!

Then you would need to explain what those other factors were and what if any benefits they delivered to the country, essentially were these 'other factors' something other than 'feels' or not liking foreigners? You get double bonus points if you don't say Sovereignty (even the Tory government had to eventually admit that the UK Parliament was always Sovereign throughout our EU membership) and if when you say something about EU laws you can list the top three that were of such concern to you it was in your mind worth the financial damage you knew you were choosing.

I didn't say they all were, but all the statistics support that those with lower levels of education and intelligence were much more likely to support Brexit than those that were more intelligent and more educated. These are simple verifiable facts, you might not like them but it is reality We haven't saved £19 billion a year, did you fall for the 350m a week bus slogan? You can't say that money that was invested for a return is a saving when you lose the return on the investment you have made a loss. The German government estimates that membership of the single market is worth 132 billion euro's a year, it's difficult to find these figures (as you knew) nobody does the research as France and Germany are unlikely to leave the EU anytime soon so there is no interest in it. There is reams of research around the negative impact to the UK economy of Brexit though because it is interesting and relevant, you could use that as a basis for estimating the impact the EU has on France and Germany but you won't do that because you are arguing disingenuously. I could ask you to list out the benefits of Brexit and evidence to support them but I know you won't because even the last governments own minister for Brexit benefits couldn't find any!

Who is the proven 10-15 goal a year premier league striker we should sign though? I don’t see them available at a price we can afford and any player we can afford from abroad is going to be as much of a risk as BBD or Archer.
