  1. Ok so initially I acknowledged that there was a bit of “make Britain great again” element to the vote, so I’m not wholly disagreeing with you. However vote leave which was the official campaign for leaving had nothing to do with Farage. Farage got as much media attention as he did because his supporters lapped it up and those easily triggered by it spat there dummies and controversy sells, in a click bait world all those giving attention to it are responsible for its reach. The official campaign didn’t talk about Islamic immigration (officially as a policy, no doubt it they got asked) you might perceive it as such but it really didn’t. Leave.eu was a privately funded campaign that featured Farage and focussed on immigration, often both sides contradicted each other because vote leave (the official campaign) focused on economic arguments. And let’s not pretend there wasn’t / isn’t project fear by unofficial remain elements of the media / political class. More laughable than the millennium bug some of it. The EU are our biggest trade partners because they’ve set the parameters and they negotiate trade deals as a block for years. Freedom to chose our own path means we can negotiate our own trade deals that we believe are beneficial to us. Of course there’s no guarantee we’ll get it right all the time but at least then we only have ourselves to blame. Like it or not that’s Freedom. See above.
  2. Lol Conor is fighting at about 10lbs below his walk around weight. Khabib out of competition is 200lbs and cuts heavy the way Conor did for featherweight, that extra weight nerfs Conor’s punching power so he’s effectively weaponless and from there there’s always only one winner. Why do you think Khabib has had so many issues weight cutting in the past?
  3. Who do you guys talk to in your day jobs? Do you talk to lower upper or mid level management? I’m talking to upper/ mid in engineering/ manufacturing / industrial sectors daily and it’s probably about 4/5 pro Brexit. I work for a Japanese company and our big rivals are German, the Japanese don’t care too much and have invested in greater stock holding and logistics post Brexit so we’re less reliant on a European central warehouse to resupply us (as is the current situation) because in fairness our division of the corporation is registered in the U.K. and pays tax and invests & manufactures in the U.K. Our German rival doesn’t they supply direct from Germany and funnel all profits out of the U.K. they have a skeleton staff in a U.K. office and a sales network for which they’re paying tax on but that’s it. Post Brexit they’re potentially fucked at present and that’s a good thing they’re not paying their full tax on their 25% of a 200million market. The only people that seem to keep whining are A) students and ex students who’ve left uni in the last 2 years and are doing some menial unskilled work that they didn’t qualify in to “fund a trip” or “pay off the loan”. They seem to just not understand Brexit and lament islamiphobia despite a Islamic Country not being part of the EU. B) Civil servants who don’t have a grasp on reality anyway normally. C) Europeans who’s own economies either benefit massively or are utterly dependent on the EU. Don’t have first hand knowledge of Britain or its culture but can speak English and read pro European media so feel educated enough to tell us how to suck eggs. Its not really a market for us, all the sectors I deal in mentioned above are exporting to South America, Africa, India or the Far East & sometimes the states. I deal in start up off shoots of universities in life science etc where they invent an idea and often secure funding (privately) to grow the idea into a fully fledged business. We’re talking in some cases life changing technology such as power generation for rural communities or clinical treatment that can be done from home. Guess where they look to export? Yep not Europe it’s usually 4/5 on the list nowadays. The reality is the world has changed, Brexit was never about Farage and “Muslims” as idiots on both sides wish to portray it. Don’t get me wrong you had an element of “make Britain great again” types but it was more a case on what do we (Britain) want to be? The answer most Brexit voters will give is “free to choose our own path”, it’s a massive opportunity for us long term if we play it right. Most Brexit voters accept they’ll be a negative to start to due to uncertainty and a period of finding our feet. It really was at its core an argument of are you optimistic about Britain and believe it can thrive on its own or are you pessimistic about Britain and believe its better off part of a Union that’s not acting in the National best interests of Britain but the standard of living is ok so why change.
  4. I don’t know honestly, I presume there’s some kind of work around afoot because we’re committed to purchasing some of these loan moves
  5. Not surprised Bruce hates him, probably has the nerve to tell Bruce he’s a shit manager
  6. Yeah it’s why I’m cool on him tbh, I think he did well before though at Walsall. Anyway he wouldn’t be long term to be honest, he would be another Bruce type appointment
  7. Villa fan mate, if we come knocking it’s hard for anyone in this league to turn down. Potential is huge at Villa now
  8. Celtic can’t compete with us for wages in this league, the gulf is that huge now
  9. I want someone younger and progressive with an attacking ethos. This squad could walk this division, behind the scenes there’s serious money now they won’t tolerate this much longer. Rodgers Henry with Wenger Dof yep Sanchez Flores I’d take dean smith but I believe we should put in place a style and ethos so would be happy to go for Marco Rose or Ralph Hassenhutl We were after Wagner post RDM but Wyness veto’d it and went for Bruce. Villa in a nutshell old buys making poor decisions because they value “experience”. Whatever happens Bruce has to go, he’s so poor
  10. I’d have been stood next to him calling the others cunts! He has to go period. Absolute clown of a manager
  11. What was tainted meat doing in the ring anyway, it’s a complete farc. GGG one of the best ever and his record is blemishes now by effectively a bunch of thieves
  12. Lol blatantly because you’re Mexican, the Mexicans who booed first time round know what’s up. Disgusting take a blokes perfect record just to keep up the hype for a roided up Mexican hype job. Mexican boxing used to be about pride, now it’s about cheating
  13. Fuck Canelo & Fuck Golden boy, a disgrace to boxing and a stain on Mexican boxing.

    Disgusting behaviour I felt sorry for her opponent, the happiest moment of her career completely overshadowed by a whinging cunt whinging that she wasn’t a cheat only for her coach to admit “yeah I was coaching”. Terrible loser is Serena
  16. But only one centre back, it’s scandalous really
  17. Abraham is a big buy nothing but automatic promotion will be acceptable for Bruce
  18. Redesigned for the behest of Nike some years back so kids it was easy to mass produce on some far eastern sweatshop He’ll double his money and go in the summer if we don’t go up
  19. Rumours we’ve offered Terry a Player/coach role after the transfer embargo has been lifted.
  20. I’m not saying you’re not British, what I’m saying is that given your background you’re going to be predisposed towards a certain viewpoint given that Brexit has been painted in a certain light particularly xenophobic. If I struggled to make that point initial then you have my apologies for any upset caused as wasn’t my intent. The only thing I did question was your grasp of how the mood is on the street among the common man being so far removed.
  21. It’s why her election was a farce, it was an opportunistic gamble for more majority that backfired because she’s got no personality and Corbyn bribed a significant portion of the youth among other issue. Cameron’s resignation should have triggered a full election based on Brexit because the Tories needed a full Brexit cabinet, the knifing of Johnson by Gove is probably one of the most selfish acts that has damaged Brexit, he was heir apparent and could have probably rolled through the first 12 months on momentum alone. May lacks that, she’s a dithering old cow trying to please everyone and upsetting all in the process.
  22. Fair enough didn’t see that. Shows how it’s a war of perception though and not the actual topic at hand. A great example is just yesterday the BBC ran stories about vote leave Facebook ads, then quietly in the small hours this morning issued a very small correction as they had been pushing fake news. In terms of what’s been done, a lot of legal requirements have gone through Parliament etc the problem now is May’s watered down version hasn’t washed with her party or the public so it’s crisis in the government. Politics is a thing that appears to move so slowly and nothing happens then all of a sudden many things happen in a short space of time. It will come as no suprise to any that I won’t be voting for a May led Tory government again and i favour no deal rather than a shit deal. I’d have told them to F off word go and really jammed them up, she’s been way to soft.
  23. It’s fucked because May is a bottler and as a result she will eventually lose her premiership and her political career. Boris will challenge I’m betting he has to otherwise the Tories face annihilation at the next Election and Corbyn will do long term damage to this country if he gets in.
  24. Sounds so familiar and that’s when Labour politicians were principled and not shameless sell outs. Also, I think you’re miss understanding my point mentioning Gonzo’s grandparents or whatever, I’m just pointing out that they’re not British and that he’s been away for a decade. If you don’t think this has an effect on what is very much a nationalistic issue then you’re wrong. There’s very much a perception that Brexit voters are white racists because that’s the way remain voters are eager to portray them. It’s identity politics. Also cark or whatever his new name is said Brexit caused islamophobia, how ridiculous we had 3 terror attacks last year you clown. How you can blame that on a decision to retake democratic power from a pan European coucil is beyond me. Europe is seeing rises on the far right across the board, was that caused by Brexit? Fucking ridiculous some of the shit attributed to it on this forum
