Spot on....and it's also impossible to argue with someone who knows that they are right.

Apparently 95% of North / South trade in Ireland is already covered by the 'trusted traders' scheme which is an electronic system for dealing with vat, differing exchange rates etc. The governments plan seems to be to include customs information within this electronic system. Obviously there will n...

Sadly yes Exactly the same people think Johnson isn't a liar, that "lets go WTO" is a valid trade strategy for the sixth largest economy in the world and that everything will be sorted if we leave without a deal on Oct 31st. I can't decide whether most of them really do think those things or whethe...

It will save a lot of bother.

It would certainly save some bother.....I have a suspicion that it might cause some other bother to replace the bother it saves....together with some additional bother on top of the first lot of bother.

No I would have expected Parliament to do it’s job... not defer the decision to an unelected executive body. They did it for a big brexit show, not for Parliamentary power to go so far as sending Johnson to prison for refusing Parliamentary decisions using Parliaments not the Laws power. The law is...

For me it has to be something by the Clash.....I'm guessing that the Daily Mail probably didn't consider "Career Opportunities" or "Garageland" however.

The more interesting conversation might be between Ireland and the EU about the border. The UK (even under May) have said all along that we don't need a hard border; let's hope that the EU doesn't order Ireland to put up fences. Boris does want friendly relations with the EU - but not the friendshi...

The current position is all looking like a GE in the coming months. Parliament is going to block a no deal brexit and Boris will have to go to the country. Sadly I think that Boris will get his "no-deal" by default while the pigs on the other side of the trough argue amongst themselves. Our best ho...

But for all the warnings leave didn't provide about the intransigence of the EU, that was compensated for by the fact that Remain did tell us how hard negotiations would be. Britain is leaving a limited free trade area, where we can have free trade with whoever we're told. We can now have free trad...

It's also worth adding that the phrase "we suck at transfers" as posted earlier strikes me as .....wel let's just say unjustified and leave it at that.

keith1879

That's true. For those fans who support Burnley for the football and aren't too bothered about the transfers, it's been unbelievably good for 30 years. But for those fans who live for transfers and see the football as an interlude to fill in time between windows, it's been a pretty dull time. Given...

You're literally crying that our government won't sign up to a deal that gives away the right for our government to decide what workers rights to put into place in the future.

Well I asked my question and I got a bit of an answer: first of all 'sovereignty' and avoiding possible future problems that will afflict us if we are in the EU.

Go on then, find some opinion from elsewhere that clearly questions our midfield and not our defence, and in particular our situation in goal, once Heaton replaced Joe Hart? Midfield is almost always "the problem". If you don't win the ball (or lose the ball) in midfield then the defence are endles...

How can an experiment be *'failed' when it hasn't been carried out? Vydra got ridiculously little time on the pitch despite not exactly disgracing himself when he was used. If I was him I'd be itching to get away - it's a year of his life he won't get back. One can only assume that his lack of use ...

One thing is for sure we have gone backwards because in theory if a Andre Gray came on the market now for 8-10m playing for a championship club we would not land him - why ? because we would alert the world first by a low unrealistic bid ad then get muscled out. A updated verson is the Che Adams si...

The thing that strikes me about Michael Gove is that (like Norman Lamont) he looks a lot like Surface Agent x20 out of Stingray. That's the most serious thing I can find to say about this bunch of rubbish and Labour are no better.

Danny Coyne. That was the Welsh keeper, who was not very good at all, despite SC raving about him. Think it was a case of not liking Beast, so every other keeper was magnified to world star, in his eyes. Grant, I saw, plag a blinder against Villa, in the League Cup. Stole Beasts place and was never...

On the one hand he is now 71 ....so physically and (perhaps) mentally entering a different phase of life.

I meant to add that Villa have won the European Cup and Leeds think they have ....both very big things.

The sad thing is, there is no way clubs like us deserve to be above Leeds. We are just a small town with limited resources and a tiny fan base. Playing in an outdated stadium. Clubs like Villa and Leeds have huge tradition. Thousands and thousands of fans. And huge media coverage. They deserve to g...

Just to add some balance the death penalty will not stop all crime and it may not deter some sickos but it may make someone think twice about wielding a weapon or committing murder. Once it has happened once in the current era it will serve as a deterrent and the victims will have had justice. As a...

Spurs for me. The 1970s and 80s were a pain for a young Burnley fan living in the area yet surrounded by kids who 'supported' Liverpool.

As a reasonable human being I find the death penalty abhorrent.
