  1. The end of it is not a fact. This is what I've asked for clarification on. A good political quip might use facts in an exaggerated way, a bad one creates disinformation. The comments in the tweet suggest the latter heavily.
  2. So to confirm, the passports can enter the UK and the tweet is a falsification?
  3. Curious to know which tariff, quota or restriction would that be turned away at the border for in no deal?
  4. How big it is all depends on what happens before then. Karl Darlow has been playing outfield in training due to a lack of players
  5. Season ticket renewal deadline passed the other day. Rumours last night that 10,000 didn't renew, or at least "massively significant" according to a "source" with most others probably on auto renewal.
  6. Still time to do some loan deals yet to be fair.
  7. Local paper saying Jack Colback back in training and given a clean slate to start his career again
  8. Martinez said a couple of months ago he won't leave Belgium until after the euros. He'd have to be desperate to swap that for this. Think it'll be either someone desperate who has no experience or is out of work or someone from overseas who has no idea about what is going on.
  9. 9th? The objective is to finish in the top 20 under this regime.
  10. Back from holiday and in two weeks we've gone from takeover will be done by the end of the month to takeover off and Rafa will leave as Ashley won't give him want he wants for the club. Players back in training on July 4th, probably without a manager or a centre forward.
  11. It's a fluke, a coincidence though isn't it. These guys play football every single day.
  12. Bet you wouldn't. Life is relative to lived past.
  13. Chelsea have 1 point more than last season. If Sarri can keep that sort of progress up they'll win the title again in around 27 years time
  14. He clearly wants to stay and we aren't far off that group above. We need to invest to get into it but he needs to use his contract situation as leverage to get that. He won't get it out of any sort of hierarchy desire to compete in the top 10. Since January only Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal have picked up more points than us so Mike Ashley will probably say we don't need any more and we can have Rondon permanent and that's it, sell to buy.
  15. Just a personal observation that I'm seeing more from young people at football than I did 5 or 10 years ago, no data just assumption. Those young people 5 or 10 years ago are not the old people of today. Or perhaps what I am seeing is a shift toward more vitriolic tones. That's not exclusive to those with inappropriate behaviour. Being aggressive and shouty with opinions is a trademark of being young so it may be due to the topics that vitriol is now channelled through, such as political correctness. Certainly one common theme not just of any age group but across the board is to see opposition vitriol and become vitriolic in return. Few see the high ground as somewhere occupied by manners anymore.
  16. I'm almost certain racism is on the rise among under 30s. A concoction of social media and the bizarre free for all goading environment that football is. The topic tends to focus almost entirely on middle aged men who have enough wealth to go to Chelsea games.
  17. The polling is based on a hypothetical where the EU refuses extension and you are left with the choice of remain, no deal or not sure. That's not actually real life options currently. The result is also not a majority. Sample size is also probably very low. If anything, it might suggest that a bigger chunk of leave voters just want out no matter what than the amount of remain voters who will always tick remain.
  18. There already was a vote to oust May, she won it. You can't force another one there is a time limit on these things. Her job is safe. So her resignation and dropping the political declaration from the vote does offer the perception of chance to some of the ERG to reshape things. Over a year ago May already promised to resign before the next election. Bringing her resignation forward doesn't mean much. There is no consensus for anything in parliament, anything at all, in or out and its variances. The only way to establish consensus is to back people into a corner. Doing so is going to lead to politicians voting for things they previously voted against. You see in the indicative votes politicians voting for things they've already voted against.
  19. I'm not convinced that the 28 are insincere about leaving itself. Would they be wrong? What is in a countries interest can only ever be a personal take. If you want to lead the country then at least part of you must believe that what you want to do is in the countries interest. When you lack support for your position in politics you must engineer it. Engineer a general election, a 2nd referendum, no deal, May's deal, all of this has been going on. A minority government is the most exposed to this kind of behaviour which is why the impasse is lasting as long as it is.
  20. Not quite. 28 ERGers voted No. If they voted Aye it would have been Ayes 314 Noes 316. It could have also passed if the Labour MP's who told their electorates they would pass Brexit "honoured" the vote as you put it. Cheap to let them off and not the ERG if you think the problem is the ERG not honouring the "best" negotiation. May is constantly haunted by the 2017 election when she tried to increase the number of her supporters in parliament to counteract the ERG and ended up weaker instead! In addition many of the ERG voted for the deal because they've got their eyes set on replacing May and guiding the final outcome.
  21. According to this journalist parliamentary momentum at the moment is toward revocation, not May's deal and not no deal if backed into a corner. As I have argued today, no deal requires a big parliamentary shift away from May's deal and revocation to occur. It doesn't just happen automatically because it's on paper, it happens by UK political choice.
  22. Maybe some think that but I'd be surprised if that sort of thinking pattern exists in a widespread fashion. It's quite extreme in personality and cultural terms. Philippe Lamberts a Belgien MEP on the Brexit steering committee was on the BBC an hour ago saying that Westminster needs to find what it has a majority for then come back, anything else is a waste of time. This seems correct. Should the EU play hard ball and reject an extension after this one, forcing a choice, which then ends up in a no deal over something half trivial like the WA, I think the EU will have a hard time justifying their actions to disrupted and damaged businesses, particularly in Ireland and particularly to those who don't care much for or against the EU doctrine.
  23. The rest of your post was irrelevant, it had noting to do with what I challenged. Your notion that I challenged is there in writing "The EEA member don't want the UK to join". As Gonzo said when he saw the counter evidence the prior evidence to that which is in question is "not a true reflection of what a country or a government believes". The country or government being de facto "The EEA member" you mentioned.
