  1. It's quite clear now that the CSL was a front for a disparate group of renegade posters trying to take over the forum... #Cock-UpSuperLeague
  2. ''Were either of the claims that we would require an "Emergency Budget" where public services would be slashed and taxes would be raised immediately after a leave vote was returned or the claim that every household would be would be ?4,300pa worse off meaningfully less 'deceitful' than "?350m for the NHS"??'' Didn't the Tresury forecast came with two caveats, namely it was based on A50 immediately being triggered after the vote, and that the BoE wouldn't intervene fiscally, neither of which happened, rendering forecast null and void? Also, wasn't the ?4300 figure based on this... The analysis finds that the annual loss of GDP per household after 15 years under the three proposed models for an alternative to EU membership would be as follows: ?2,600 in the case of EEA membership ?4,300 in the case of a negotiated bilateral agreement ?5,200 in the case of WTO membership Meanwhile, has anyone seen the Brexit bus lately?...
  3. An analysis of the numbers that doesn't merit a D- in mathematics... https://institute.global/policy/project-fear-or-project-fact-how-eu-trade-has-fared-months-following-single-market-exit Leaving aside the arithmetically challenged, you'll find over the coming months/years that advocates of Brexit will promote a lot of 'UK versus EU' data as some sort of justification, but the reality is that the EU as a whole wasn't and never will be our main economic competitor, rather it has always been about how we perform against our traditional economic rivals like Germany and France. That's the true test of Brexit, it's how we compare against them not the the whole 27 states that matters, just as it did when we were in the EU. And when you look at the actual market share of how the UK and Germany have performed since Brexit, it paints a very different picture than the one they want you to see...
  4. The grotesque underhand tactics of the CSL come as no surprise. Most of the 'Big 6' long ago sold their soul to the world of franchise and stuck two fingers up to tradition when changing their original names, and in some cases, upped sticks to pastures new, leaving their fanbase emotionally distraught and homeless. Mockney Piers Dons, so much to answer for...
  5. Me neither, there's no way I'm joining a breakaway thread with it's fancy dan ideas of balanced arguments...
  6. Whatever happens, Spurs will always be Spursy. A week before their first domestic final in 6 years, Spurs 'qualify' for the European Super League and then promptly sack their manager...
  7. Since malumbu has started a closed shop thread about a closed shop European Super League, I'll vent my spleen here. MONEY. GRABBING. FUCKERS...
  8. No, never listened to that programme, maybe I should!...
  9. Week 29 fixtures... Friday 16th April Everton v Tottenham Hotspur Saturday 17th April Newcastle United v West Ham United Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sheffield United Sunday 18th April Arsenal v Fulham Manchester United v Burnley Monday 19th April Leeds United v Liverpool Tuesday 20th April Chelsea v Brighton & Hove Albion Wednesday 21st April Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton Aston Villa v Manchester City Thursday 22nd April Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion
  10. It's obviously a difficult balancing act as pubs/hospitality have been hit hard, but it does strike me as paradoxical that the demographic most likely to frequent pubs/bars will be one of the last to get the jab and all that entails, e.g. the risks of new variants forming...
  11. Just looked at the overall leaderboard, Parky is 7th, which is very good going this stage of the season...
  12. Game over. Week 28 points... Week 28 table...
  13. Yep, forget Fatsia, scale of leaf too small, more likely a type of Ivy as above...
  14. Looks like Fatsia Japonica, this shows the flowers before the berries form...
  15. A long read but goes into detail (if only Brexit had done likewise) about the pros and cons of an Indy Scotland rejoining the EU... https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/scotland_eu_border.pdf
  16. The other parties need to form some kind of alliance/electoral pact, something that should've happened between Corbyn and Swinson over Brexit had their egos not got in the way...

  19. Newspapers are the same, they're not waiting for people to die, it's just preparation in case someone dies irrespective of age...
  20. How about a Fawlty Towers-esque staircase?... Or a Penrose staircase?...
  21. Showing the same programme on two channels is very North Korea, by all means show different tributes etc, but not the same one. And why have they suspended BBC4? I'm guessing the BBC is frit it might get accused of being 'unpatriotic' by the usual nationalistic suspects. Surely the big question tonight is, will a catfish win The Circle?...
  22. Week 28 fixtures...

  23. It will be difficult to close a 12-point lead at this stage of the season, only chance is to get a good double-point score, something which has evaded me so far...
