So let me get this straight, we only trade internally and with the EU?

No, because 100% wasn't a complete whole figure.

(I'm not sure whether Jakubclaret thinks that the economy is like a footballer and can give 110%.)

Why should I explain a comment that makes no references to any poster in particular of whoms gender and sexuality is unknown to me. Explain I made an innocent assumption somebody had a boyfriend who you don't even know the gender of in 2020. I am offended you think it is homophobic. Where are the m...

Not really homophobic is it?

It certainly looks that way. Maybe you'll have to explain exactly what you meant.

I'm sure if Sean Dyche announced he was leaving there would be a rush on here from posters recommending Joey Barton and Michael Duff. With no disrespect to Duff, who is doing a terrific job at Cheltenham, I doubt anyone would even consider him if he hadn't played for us. It reminds me of when Stan ...

My commiserations to your boyfriend.

Classy. Start off with complaining about people being offensive. Finish off with a homophobic insult.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I've never stated it was 100% initially nor querying the 88%, I'm capable of deducting 12 from 100 & assuming where the 12 is mostly going, as you say it won't be the only "export/import" market which I agree, I guess we all deploy different cognitive speeds on the uptake! ...

It's simple Rileybobs, if it doesn't quite fit their own agenda, they moan about it. We had it with Everton (apparently on sale too early for that one) and now this. I don't think the club get everything right on tickets for games, far from it, but they've got this one right. There's two different ...

aggi

You would have thought that'd be the obvious conclusion with a simple subtraction to account for 12% :roll: Only if you're saying that the EU is our only export/import market which I'm pretty sure isn't the case. 88% probably isn't that far off, although seems a bit high, given that the vast majori...

Obviously as a lot of people know (but a lot try to obfuscate) the big issue with trading with the EU on WTO isn't the tariffs, it's the non-monetary obstacles. The delays of adding in customs checks, diverging regulations, issues around whether UK qualifications and licences will be valid, impacts ...

aggi

No reason why this should be anything to do with a trade deal. Why don't we just join the EWRS, and many other European and EU institutions (eg. Interpol), on their own merits? It's not trade related. It's not trade related but I guess with the current levels of anti-EU fervour it would be a tough ...

Some classic Ringo here.

You wouldn't be employing nil desperandum in a job that deals with figures in any rush, accountancy ect.

Didn't you spend half a dozen posts yesterday claiming that official figures were wrong?

aggi

Do you acknowledge the distinction between the illegal & legal immigration irrespective of EU & non EU workers, I think you underestimate the potential scale of the illegal workforce within the UK. I do but that just disproves your point more as the vast majority of illegal workers will be non-EU.

I edited my post to acknowledge that the non EU arrivals are increasing whilst the EU departures are also increasing, the figures don’t include any illegals as well which I believe to be a sizeable unknown number, I don’t think any immigration is good for the country unless it’s skilled & NHS orien...

We want better quality immigrants not the dregs and criminals flooding in unchecked.

As an aside, EU immigrants generally make a positive contribution to the UK economy whereas it's the opposite for non-EU.

aggi

It’s already evident contrary to that statement though, for now. The non eu immigration is rising but not at the same level taking into consideration the population stats. From yesterday's paper: Overall net migration remained “broadly stable” at 240,000, the ONS said, as the increase in non-EU arr...

aggi

IMO it will. Under the proposed new immigration rules we are likely to see some reduction in immigration from the EU but a significant increase from Asia etc. They will most likely gravitate towards areas where they already have a significant presence. There'll be an increase. The numbers are alrea...

Problem with that is that it's so obviously biased that you can't tell what's really true and what's hyperbole. for example, the idea that fossil fuels are finite so stop using oil and start using electricity which is made by coal. For example again, the idea that electricity is more efficient beca...

normally your posts are ok but I have no clue as to what you're trying to insinuate, there is no insinuation or soundbites just facts, let me try to recap because your argumentative approach is like my child when I explain facts to him.

YES did no one tell you? We have left the EU, it's done, even the EU leader or ex leader) MB recently said this. Brexit was about leave or no leave, it's been signed and agreed, as I have said previously, it's just a matter of implementing the changes and agreeing a trade deal if any. And this is a...

Wasn't there issues with a Bob Lord of increased size (whether new or on top of the existing one) potentially not being approved as it would block light to the properties across the road.

(Although looking at a map I'd expect the sun to come from the other side so maybe I've just imagined that.)

aggi

Of course both sides can win. That's what trade is all about. Every time you buy something, you are making a deal that suits you and suits the seller too. If both sides can't win with free trade, then why does the EU have it for its own members? Well the EU has free trade plus additional provisions...

Spurs sell 65,000 pints? I doubt 1 in 5 of our capacity drink beer at the ground let alone the same proportion of 60,000+. That's an awful lot of beer being consumed by possibly so few people.

What do you mean by ‘grow up strong’? How does heading a ball or playing conkers help our children grow up strong, whatever that may mean?

It makes them a man. Obviously.

I respect your view, but I don't agree with it. Heading a ball, climbing trees, playing conkers, swimming in a river.... the list is endless of things that were natural to us in our youth, which we would deny the kids of today. I don't say I want kids to be allowed to head a ball because I couldn't...

They were fined 8 million, when other offending clubs in the same period were slapped with embargos. They got away with it essentially. Yes, they outspent other clubs in proportion to their revenue but not as an absolute amount. Hence the hefty FFP fine. FFP wasn't really fit for purpose though. Al...

I wouldn't worry, on current showing Priti Patel will easily fill the void. The interview where she didn't appear to know the difference between terrorism and counter-terrorism was a good start.

Surely the fairest way to do it is give more points to those who go to places such as Bournemouth away rather than Man U, Man City etc. That how Spurs do it as well within each four year cycle. That is how a few of the bigger clubs do it but realistically the demand isn't that high for our tickets ...

A friend of mine who is a Spurs season ticket holder says their points get reset every four years.

That's pretty standard. I don't think there are many like Burnley where going to a match ten years ago counts the same as going to a match last week.
