"Deliver Brexit or face riots". I don't know about you, but I feel this has the reek of a concerted effort - let's call it a "project" - to instil a sense of... fright? alarm? trepidation? I'm sure there's another word for it, it's on the tip of my tongue...

Stoke can leave with everyone's blessing

There's a worse left back in our squad

The brochure they are shopping about refers to Bruce as "unparalleled in European competition". It was clearly Rafa in there originally and they've done a cut and paste job with Bruce Their aim is to get us in the top 10 and turn a profit for the owners. Sounds dreamy

I like how Toonraider has forgotten who he’s logged in as and has has done the facepalm reaction for the wrong account 😂

What a sheltered life Rayvin has led.

Brentrance means Brentrance.

oh, for sure

They’ve done it too early, it’s going to be a fair whack of bullshit on this one to keep the story running until the January window closes.

I’ve been in touch with Fenwicks, they’re happy for me to show my arse in their window when it happens.

I still think if we just fucking kill off Brexit, and the media moves on, all that will be left is the small rump of hardcore europhobes that existed to begin with. Things like abolishing the supreme court won't come to pass in the end.

It hadn't actually occurred to me that this is probably in response to lowered ticket sales

Where on the stair? Right there?

I dipped my wick with a showgirl in Hamburg, an air-hostess in Antwerp, and a little clog dancer in Rotterdam, now that's unparalleled success in Europe.

Tried that Sam Fender album and after thinking Play God was interesting, his album is bland Springsteen-aping fodder without any of the cumulative experience, both musically and in life, that makes those classic Springsteen albums so powerful. The Killers did anthemic-Boss better on Sam's Town and The War on Drugs has been doing driving, introspective Springsteen better for years He's clearly got potential but it sounds like someone who is well wide of it atm. Check back in 5 years for his best when he has a stronger grasp of his craft and a better band with him. Long after the music mainstream has chewed him up and spat him out. Shame. Still, nice to see a local kid do well and fair play to him for selling out an arena tour off the back of 10 songs. Good luck filling an arena show with it, though.

i find it remarkable that rachel johnson despite looking uncannily like her brother, remains oddly fuckable.

Yep. I can recall he spent a great amount of time tinkering with the exact wording of the referendum question, but no thought at all into what the ramifications of leave would be. Seems madness in retrospect. What a cunt.

Yeah but Cameron was confident he’d walk it so there was hardly any need for failsafes when you’re dealing with the future of the country.

Should never have been allowed. But if it was, the following requirements were essential imo: 1) Credible, actionable leave option. 2) All country's of the UK needed to vote for it. 3) Special status for NI if leave won (if not covered by 1). 4) Mandatory. If any evidence of wrong doing, the referendum is cancelled.

There never was such a place. MPs are elected to make decisions, not pass them back to the idiots who voted for them in the first place, when it becomes too difficult for those MPs to decide which option is more likely to result in them losing their seat.

And the front cover has Rondon, Perez and Schar on it.

FYP

I think austerity played a part but nowhere near as much as eastern European immigration. An end to freedom of movement is barely mentioned nowadays...

there's one thing this referendum should show is is there is no place in this country for direct democracy. what a fucking shambles.

Don't know. Are we 45-55s the last generation with a pathetic empire complex?? Probably not now thanks to the internet. Hate spreads so quickly. But it still remains a tiny minority who are properly motivated. Trouble is there are powerful people telling your average common or garden bar room bigot that their hate is justified and that all they need to do is put their cross in the right box and very, very complex problems like delivering on a narrow mandate an act there was no plan for and was obviously impossible to deliver partly due to the moronically binary question that was asked will be resolved with the minimum of fuss and bother and their lives will be great from now on. It's fuckin ridiculous how easily people are manipulated, that's what gives me the horrors.

i'm not sure he will lose the election - trump won one using these tactics. but even if he doesn't, it feels to me like we these are unchartered waters. if there is a referendum and the result is overturned, or A50 is revoked, things could get much, much more sinister. there are darker forces than johnson waiting in the wings to capitalise if the "will of the people" is denied. ok, it's a global trend. the rise of strong man populism is happening all over the world but aren't you surprised it's happening here? the way johnson went on the attack last night, without a shred of humility, the language he used, was right out of the trump playbook and it felt like a turning point. the brits are supposed to be pragmatic, conservative and sensible. markets are looking what is happening here right now like we're an emerging economy. we're known for stability not political crisis.

What do you mean? It seems unlikely to me that the Tories will hang onto him if he loses an election. It's not even very clear to me that they'll hang onto him if we don't leave by October 31st. He's very vulnerable, which is why he's doubling down so hard. I think once Brexit is resolved, things will settle down - which is why the sooner we have that referendum, the sooner Boris loses his legitimacy to campaign on behalf of "the people" - either his thunder is stolen, or the people change their minds.

History books of the future- “ The Brexit War saw a crushing loss to the Gammonheads at The Battle of Romford Wetherspoons, where over 90% of the aging BAU Gammon Army failed to turn up for battle as Bombardier was on special at £2 a pint. The ensuing massacre saw the People’s Popular Remain Leftist Coalition Liberation Front For Change sweep through the drunken ranks, brandishing vegan snacks at those still capable of running, and mildly rebuking the immobile in to submission.”

Fuck off

That's just repellant. What kind of newspapers report on this stuff, seriously...
