Bravo sir

Think this could be a watershed though. Scotland should do a Catalonia and have their own ballot. The thing that's kept me from going all in with the Nats is their belief that somehow Scotland has been treated worse than any other western post industrial area. I don't think that's the case but you could point to Wales, Boro & Scunny still having a (privitised) steel industry and Scotland having nothing, there again they still build ships on the Clyde & in Fife. I was an apprentice when the poll tax was introduced a year before England and i suddenly had to find 300 quid a year, so did my brother,sister (apprentice & trainee) and mother (home help) The thing about that blatant cunts trick was the reaction in England the following year was the thing that got rid of it in Scotland & the UK as a whole. Back then there we had a lot more in common than what divided us. Not sure that's the case now, last night being the most glaring example. There's the currency question to overcome but if they resolve that there could be a similar situation to what NI is going through now; England out of the EU with a land border hard against EU member Scotland. Thing is anyone who knows anything about history knows that imposed hard borders are big fuckin trouble for all concerned. The only difference between the UK 2018 and the former Yugoslavia 1991 is ease of access to arms. We should be grateful for that small mercy.

Last night was a fuckin piss take tbf. 19 mins of debate on the devolution amendment and not one Scottish MP allowed to speak. This could be it for the SNP.... If I was still living up the road I think they'd get my vote now....this week has shown how little democracy we actually have in this country. Am just about fuckin finished with the lot of them...

No 2 Fernando Hierro steps up. I always liked him, good player and Spain Captain before the current era of all time greats. Good leader, the circumstances of his appointment may galvanize the squad too...

Yeah alright Cameron Macintosh, fuckin calm down

Wednesday

If he gets asked I imagine he'd be tempted but am not sure what anyone could bring now. Iniesta, Ramos and other senior players will run the show now with the no 2/ coaches etc I reckon..

Playing their hardest group game first on Friday night v European Champions on Friday night

Apparently he's signed a new 2 year contract with Spain recently. Then Zidane jacks Real....Hes probably thought "aah they'll never get rid of me the day before kick off..."

Justice minister Philip Lee resigns from cabinet because he thinks Brexit is a load of old pony

Ok I'll post this again... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wondering-rafa-loaned-mitro-read-14364221 you're obviously all entitled to your opinions & Rafa isn't infallible by any means. But Rafa had to make decisions last season and his reasoning for loaning out Mitro is sound and shows good judgement. After Mitro left we brought in three players who changed our season, no doubt those deals were helped partially by the money saved by getting Mitro's wages paid by Fulham who were also in the division below so not a direct threat to us. He went to a team playing front foot attacking football and a manager who speaks the same language. I don't know what else there is to say on the subject. I do think the constant sniping about Mitro does in some way display a lack of faith in Rafas judgement though. Which to me anyway is frankly bizarre. if you ask me, Mitro neither saved us from relegation nor got us promoted. He had numerous chances to kick on and get a run in the team but failed at every turn. His discipline issues made Rafa unable to put his full trust in the player. He was invariably a stone overweight which for a manager with Rafas high standards was never going to be acceptable. But three goals v a team that finished second bottom of the 10 team South American World Cup qualifying group means Rafa is still wrong about him? I don't fuckin think so..

Aaron Bank's, the largest financial donor to the leave campaign has been lying about his links to Russia during the campaign.. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/09/arron-banks-russia-brexit-meeting?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other which has put his pet propagandist at The Times in a very awakward position.. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a-classic-russian-fishing-expedition-lands-back-channel-to-white-house-zmg80swqg WHAT A COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED SURPRISE

Dad now retired, lad now a 46 year old printer who, when we shared a house in the early nineties, was very popular among the 6th formers at the local girls grammar school ...and some other bloke..I just like the picture, none of them smiling, old man Dave with proper Scouse tash..

What is that from last night?..

Is this you trying to make yourself feel better about the impending Brexit recession?...."BUT LABOUR DID THIS!!" That's not owning the way you voted mate, that's a schoolboy shouting "LOOK OVER THERE GIANT SPIDERS!" then running away....I think this bunch of useless lying bastards are playing Russian roulette with a revolver that can hold two in its barrel and one of them full, it's 50/50 iyam whether we get a deal or not...what would you say to someone who works at the Port of Tyne who is staring down the barrel because his job is complelty reliant on shipping exports to the EU, or Harwich, or Southampton, or Merseyside or anywhere with a container terminal?..can you justify your vote to them with something substantial?..

10 of us have spent most of today on this got them all bar 4 or 5...

Is it a bit stalkerish to tweet minor celebs when you’re in the same branch of Pret A Manger as them?
