I find it very offensive that certain special interest groups, usually centred on the left, claim to speak for entire sections of the population. The " Gay " vote, Black and Asian voters, the elderly vote, womens votes are all claimed by these self appointed people...as if none of them had a mind of...

Stoke voted strongly for leave. I think this will be the by-election that UKIP win. They may even win Copeland as well. They were second in 2015, with the tories a close 3rd. The lib dems were nowhere, but are likely to pick up remainers. Nuttall will probably stand, but I think this is a seat that...

Can anyone shed any light on what cash reserves we actually have? That article suggests we made 40m net profit in our last PL season.

I suggest our new season away shirt should feature Green and White stripes with Green shorts. A strip we wore around the early 1900s. Unless Norwich get promoted it won't clash with another team.

I for one, would be very suspicious of the motives of any potential Foreign investor/Buyer in a club of our size.

This sounds an excellent idea....even better, we could buy it and lease it to Preston...

No one is saying they've prevented parliament debating it. What we're saying is the Executive has tried to claim the power that what Parliament debates/decides is irrelevent.

Equating the Conservative party and UKIP to " Fascists " is utterly ridiculous, and just cheapens the word to the point that it has little meaning.
