I particularly love the idea of a European manager for the England job right now.

May has stated that there won't be one til 2020 if she get's in, but surely that'll just cause more unrest and resentment among the populace? With the current state of the two main parties, Lib Dems (by default as much as their pro-EU stance) are looking more tempting than they have for a long time.

Boris Johnson's 4 month time line: Feb 2016: Supports Europe May 2016: doesn't support Europe anymore 23rd June 2016: wins leave referendum and ruins country in process 24th June: writes Telegraph piece hinting at leave regrets 29th June: stands for Prime Minister 30th June: doesn't stand for Prime Minister

There's another one appeared for the 2nd July. Perhaps they just brought it forward? Gutted because I'm out ofthe country now (in Europe for the weekend)

If hacking into the pentagon is possible then i'm afraid an online voting system would be even more open to potential fraud than the system we have now.

At least we might get a reasonable turn out for this. If only the public were as engaged for a general election.

Slovakia must have the same defensive coaching team as England rugby! We had 29 efforts (most in the tournament so far), 13 of which were blocked (which is a HUGE amount).

Just wstch it and you'll realise he addresses that point.

With the shift in polls to 'remain', the markets and pound have had a massive bounce. When they shifted to leave, the pound plummeted. What more evidence do the leave voters need to see that there will be an almighty shock, a lasting shock for our economy, should we vote to leave?

I thought Kane was completely ineffectual and has been for a few games (for club and country) now. Poor boy needs a rest. He's played something like 60 straight games for Tottenham, hasn't had a proper rest in two years (he played the u21's last summer). I would assess for 45 mins against Wales and then replace him with any of the other three. Or possibly give him a strike partner (but I think he plays better as a lone striker). I watched Dier pretty closely for most of the game and he's become such a leader and such a good reader of the game. He never wastes a pass (and it's not all sideways passing) and when he hasn't got the ball he's always orchestrating, pointing, organising, talking. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's the next England captain. He's become a very good player indeed.

What's the pool like? Is it clean and well maintained- same question for pool changing areas and showers? I'm going to be starting swimming regularly soon and will use Peckham, E&C or Brockwell if necessary.

I rescued one from near certain death as it decided to stop and have a rest in the middle of our road. I'm sure i read that this part of London is one of the main global sites for stag beetles. Did I get that right?

All this talk of lidos inspired me to go to Brockwell for the first time yesterday evening. It was glorious! No queues, plenty of room (at a rough guess about 60 or 70 people in and around the pool), water not heated but perfectly warm enough, very few kids despite it being warm and sunny and after school (6.30pm) and only ?3.30. If that can be recreated in Peckham then I'd use it. I do worry about numbers of people through the door though. Brockwell has a big old catchment area and it was a lovely day yesterday but not many folks in. I'm sure it's different on a hot day in the summer holidays, but how many of those do we have in our typical summer?

In there like swimwear

Just repeat the following words over and over again, like a mantra, until it sinks in "GOVE, FARAGE, JOHNSON, DUNCAN-SMITH" "GOVE, FARAGE, JOHNSON, DUNCAN-SMITH" "GOVE, FARAGE, JOHNSON, DUNCAN-SMITH" "GOVE, FARAGE, JOHNSON, DUNCAN-SMITH"

Agreed. On paper, the PL should be the most successful league for years to come. Unfortunatrely the game isn't played on paper. Just ask the three clubs with the biggest spends in recent times (Man United, Liverpool and Man City). None of which got anywhere near the premier league title this year. And Spanish teams have won the last 6 European club competitions in a row (slightly twisted by Barca and RMs spending, but Atletico and Sevilla have also had success).

Signing the wrong French and Dutch players for their situation didn't do them any good.

This would make sense. Tottenham are currently showing a lot interest in both leagues. Pochettino and latterly Paul Mitchell have obviously brought that focus with them from Southampton.
