    Italia!

    Post-Mussolini, the Italian constitution makes it very difficult for such a dictatorial/authoritarian figure to rule Italy again. Which is understandable, however it's also meant that successive governments find it just as difficult to govern, it's why there has been so many elections/pacts etc over the years. The soon to be resigning Italian PM wanted a change to the constitution in order to give him and the governing party more power, in this case the means to deliver an austerity package. As is their way, voters took the opportunity to make a protest vote, but it wasn't a straight forward vote against the EU. Some would've voted No for constitutional reasons, some on the EU, and some on a general unhappiness with the sitting Gov and PM. Having a referendum mid-term wasn't the Italian PM's brightest idea. An interesting aside of the Austrian vote... Anton Mahdalik, a Freedom party member of the Vienna city council, criticised former Ukip leader Nigel Farage for contributing to the party?s defeat after claiming on Fox News that Hofer would hold a referendum on Austria leaving the EU. ?That didn?t help us, it hindered us,? he said, saying that an overwhelming majority of Austrians support EU membership. Hofer himself described Farage?s comments as a ?crass misjudgment?, adding that ?it doesn?t fill me with joy when someone meddles from outside?. Well done Nige!..:)
  6. I've used Shiply for furniture, including fragile ornaments, after seeing a rec on here. Once you fill out your details you receive quotes from courier firms. What tends to happen is that your item will be part of lorry/van full of other items being couriered, which means the quotes are a lot cheaper than a single courier delivery... http://www.shiply.com/ Whatever method you use, make sure you use plenty of bubble wrap, especially to the corners...

  8. I don't think it's as simple as 'soft vs not Brexit', the general consensus on the Remain side is not to stop the Brexit process but rather that the country should be allowed a second vote on the terms of Brexit, be they hard or soft. As it stands people voted for a concept, without any idea what it entailed politically, economically and socially...

  14. Ok, in Quids' absence, I'm game...Pochettino's halo slipped last night. Resting key defensive players for the Chelsea game was a big mistake, Spurs had to win last night's game. It's earlier enough in the season to drop points at Chelsea and still challenge for the title, whereas last night it was all or nothing. Also I think he was wrong to question his player's mentality, they are still a relatively young team, the mentality has to come from the manager, and resting players sent out the wrong signal as to how important the Monaco game was. How did I do Mick? :)....
  15. It's quite simple, he's British when he wins, and he's Scottish when he loses...
  16. 'Fess up Quids, was it you that used it on West Ham Online?... http://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/10/i-invented-virtue-signalling-now-its-taking-over-the-world/ :)

  18. Indeed. I think Jah has been admirably restrained...so far.
  19. Apart from Quids' post, which was a deliberate wind-up anyway, I can't see much, genuine anti-Murray sentiment in this thread...
  20. It's on BBC2 as well as Sky, tuning in now...
  21. He must be cream crackered after the last couple of matches, the bookies think so too, have Djocko as fav...
  22. You've hit a bit of luck with the correct scores Quids, your incorrect scores are high, so once your luck dries up...;-)
