Week 11 points... Week 11 table...

A fitting footnote to add to that triptych, would be this eternal tweet written back in Sept 2016, which I presume was a response to Michael Gove's ''The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards''... EU lays down a royal flush. UK looks at own cards: Mr Bun the Baker, Pikachu, a Shadowmage, a fireball spell, and the Fool

Welcome to Global Britain, Cool Britannia seems a very long time ago...

ted, how do you think someone who's lost their wife to Covid felt about your comment?...

Try this, it goes through various options...

Today I saw a Chaffinch nibbling on a fat ball. This would never have happened had we not left the EU... #BenefitsofBrexit

Week 11 fixtures, tonight's VIlla v Toon match has been postponed... Saturday 5th December Burnley v Everton Manchester City v Fulham West Ham United v Manchester United Chelsea v Leeds United Sunday 6th December West Bromwich Albion v Crystal Palace Sheffield United v Leicester City Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers Monday 7th December Brighton & Hove Albion v Southampton

Boris Johnson not mentioning this so called 'Brexit benefit' at yesterday's early evening presser, says it all really. After all, this is the man who would tubthump and grandstand at every opportunity, witness him wanting to put the Union Jack on AstraZeneca's vaccine phials...

''Political pressure'' Would that be the same political pressure that meant (off the top of my head): The UK received a substantial rebate? The UK didn't have to adopt the Euro? The UK didn't have to be a part of Schengen? The EU would prefer a 'vaccine bloc' but it hasn't stopped Hungary from ordering a Russian vaccine... Under a 2001 directive, member countries may temporarily authorize the distribution of an unauthorized medicinal product "in response to the suspected or confirmed spread of pathogenic agents, toxins, chemical agents or nuclear radiation, any of which could cause harm.

Nothing to do with Brexit...

Week 10 points... Week 10 table...

The Express has long since stopped being a newspaper, nothing more than a propaganda sheet. 'EU on the brink', rinse and repeat...

It also doesn't apply to expats* as it states, instead it's for visitors, holiday makers, and 2nd home owners who's main residence is in the UK. Basically they're griping about not being able to take more than 3 months holiday in a 6 month period, poor wee lambs. Oh, and someone better tell them not to travel if their passport has less than a 6 month expiry date, and to be prepared to wait in those long 'non-EU passport' queues in order to get their passport stamped. Other than that, bon voyage!... *That'll be immigrants to all of you not blessed to be British

Chickens coming home to roost update: Loving how the Mail is trying to frame this, no doubt aware that some of its middle class readership will be affected. The rules aren't 'new', they are existing rules that apply to all non-EU countries. This is exactly what was said before the referendum and since, yet English exceptionalism carried on sticking its head in the sand. Wait till they find out about the requirements needed for their precious pooches to travel with them...

DiaperDon not happy with these images, kudos to whoever decided to give him this teeny weeny table, at least his hands now look in scale...:)

Just think how good he'd have been if he tied up his laces...:)

Week 10 fixtures... Friday 27th November Crystal Palace v Newcastle United Saturday 28th November Brighton & Hove Albion v Liverpool Manchester City v Burnley Everton v Leeds United West Bromwich Albion v Sheffield United Sunday 29th November Southampton v Manchester United Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers Monday 30th November Leicester City v Fulham West Ham United v Aston Villa

Oops, forgot to do last weeks tables, probably because points wise it was the most uninteresting ever...:) Week 9 points... Week 9 table...
