  1. Fair enough from you and everyone else who replied - I did say from an outsider's point of view. However, given that the resounding view of the board is that voter's are stupid and like to see shiny promises, even talk about customs union or close relationship with the single market is too abstract, albeit true. I am not sure how that can be couched in terms which are understandable to the vast majority of the voting public, but the Tories' Brexit at all costs and the LDs' Remain at all costs are much simpler concepts.
  2. From a (fortunately) outsider's point of view, this is the main issue. What does any of that mean? Has that not what has been argued about by everyone for the past 3 years? I am afraid it looks wishy-washy between the adamant leavers and remainers, but is clearly more on the leavers side than the remainers. So do you not end up losing the remainers completely, and splitting the leavers? Given there are probably more rabid leavers than tepid ones, what does that achieve?
  3. In answer to the question, stop filming it and uploading to Facebook, probably and try to help.
  4. John Oliver's "Stupid Watergate 2" is up there, as well
  5. Unfortunately, some orange cretin is doing his best to end and encouraging protectionism. Which may be why the nuclear option is still required.
  6. So it was a Mag conspiracy after all - losing to them just to ensure they ended up in Division 3
  7. If only they had spent $40m on a striker, we would be pushing Liverpool and Man City
  8. If anyone would know ...
  9. England were absolutely thrashed and had nothing to come back with, when it did not go how they wanted it to go. This is not the first time that they have been unable to refocus when things are going against them. SA definitely deserved to win and irrespective of the political bandwagon which has come out of it, were simply much better on the day. Perhaps Gatland was right when he said that England had played their final against NZ. Jones may want to take back his ridicule now. Of course, now England lost, we can blame the Aussie coach - where is Ken when we don't need him?
  10. Because they can, as no one who will vote for them will listen to what is being said anyway? And ... Brexit means Brexit
  11. That is all any of them are bothered about.
  12. I think you give him too much credit
  13. Are we talking about Stormy Daniels again?
  14. The US could have stuck around, but this is part of Trump's bring them home strategy, which has no thought for the consequences of doing so. There were only about 100 SF troops there, as I understood it, and now Kurds are dying and IS fighters are getting loose. This has always been Erdogan's plan but he is another fascist, who has been playing at being Trump longer than Trump. Of course, by causing an issue in the first place (see China, Mexico, N Korea, etc), Trump will then try to "resolve the issues" prior to the next election, thereby showing his diplomatic skills and then claiming he should have the Nobel Peace Prize. Who cares about the Kurds anyway - they weren't on the beaches (ironically, from someone who managed to avoid going to Vietnam). Trump 101
  15. Possibly by arguing that is how it should have been done in the first place, in Parliament by those elected to govern, not the stupid public, but hey, I am not saying that is right.
