  1. Ah! Are you getting fed up with all that gruel? what a shame!
  2. Certainly at least one of them is lying. Given Boris' track record for getting sacked for lying I think I know where I would put my money. Either way May 26th is going to be stonkingly good fun. Down the pub, laptop on the table, bottle of champagne on ice.
  3. No! the significant linguistic unit of meaning here in response to the question is not the one word "yes" but the complete phrase contained in the following, “Yes, probably, probably. Yes. In a similar context. But we have a very different context in France”. Are you really so dumb that you can't handle more than one word at a time? Perhaps you would like me to translate it into French for you.
  4. Oh dear! However, since you are incapable of understanding the basic economics required to understand these figures let me try to help you out with an analogy you might grasp as someone who claims to be a runner. Imagine one day you woke up and decided you would purposely break your leg. Despite warnings about the stupidity of the idea you do so anyway claiming it was the patriotic thing to do. The NHS does its duty and plasters your leg, but it does, of course, result in a disastrous decline in your timings for the marathon as you limp along the course. Now imagine the cast is removed; your timings instantly improve dramatically even if they are not as good as they were prior to the act of self harm. Hope that helps.
  5. Why not try Swahili? The facts remain the same bird-brain. His interview with with Andrew Marr was in ENGLISH you fool. But being so kind hearted I'll provide you the vid. Take a look from around 9.50:
  6. Yep! It's you who's the moron yet again. The constituency of the Express poll was its "readership" not a specific country. Further, I would have thought even the tiniest brained buffoon would realise my dig was at the stupidity of polling people to ask them if they would like another public holiday. Clearly one needs to remember that subtlety of thought is not a hallmark of someone who is a racist, misogynist, paedophile apologist.
  7. Oh dear! bird-brain, I even put the actual quote from Macron in my post and you're still too gullible and stupid to see that you've been fooled by another completely misleading tabloid headline.
  8. Indeed! You wouldn't expect them to park it properly would you?
  9. The Express asked 6,170 of its readers whether they thought we should get a day off to celebrate St George's Day; 93% said yes. Perhaps they should also have asked if we should get a day off to celebrate St Andrew's Day, St Patrick's Day, and St David's Day too. Methinks they might get an even higher percentage saying yes. And why not throw in another day off for St Twa*t, the patron saint for moronic newspaper editors.
  10. The corrupt GOP at it again. Straight out of the Trump playbook; if you can't win fairly cheat and cheat again. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/founder-of-company-hired-by-arizona-gop-to-conduct-ballot-audit-promoted-election-fraud-falsehoods/ar-BB1g0Mdo?ocid=msedgntp
  11. Oh dear Jools, are you still this thread's greatest cheer leader for joing the CPTPP? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/brexit-warning-as-cptpp-s-accession-could-be-similar-to-uk-s-bum-deal-with-europe/ar-BB1g1zKM?ocid=msedgdhp Brexit warning as CPTPP's accession could be similar to UK's 'bum deal' with Europe In an interview with Express.co.uk, though, Alan Winters, director of the Trade Policy Observatory at the University of Sussex, warned that Britain will have to accept the terms of its membership in CPTPP - without any saying in it. He explained: "It is a done deal, and it can be a very straightforward done deal in the sense that the CPTPP is not going to negotiate. "They are going to say 'here we are, you can join, here is where you sign'. Dear old Nige must be very disappointed by your treachery.
  12. Just read it you lazy person. Macron says something very different. Marr then pushed the French president, regarded by many as the EU’s new leader, on whether Britain’s decision was a one-off. Quoted by Express, the BBC journalist asked: “If France had had the same referendum, it might have had the same result?” Macron responded: “Yes, probably, probably. Yes. In a similar context. But we have a very different context in France”
  13. They could get a couple of seasons ahead of the game and wear the following logo:
  14. Goodness knows how appalled RTB must be by the behaviour of Moses, and as for Sparticus.... I could go on but I suspect it is unnecessary.
  15. Is this what you mean W? I think it would be their only chance of scraping a nil-nil
  16. Vaccine's what? (And who is this Vaccine anyway? Very strange choice of name)
  17. I don't think Farke could be clearer about what he thinks of Hugill: https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/canaries-jordan-hugill-daniel-farke-praise-7920380
  18. Yet again, no link. I also suggest you take a look at the French opinion polls. They do NOT support leaving. Wbb is right "stop telling Johnsons"!
  19. Why is what "so bad"? I can only assume you mean brexit. We spent years telling you why brexit was a bad idea, only we got it wrong, it's a lot worse than we said.
  20. Jesus! And you claim to be some kind of economic genius. But perhaps you can try to read and understand the following: https://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/eu-position-in-world-trade/ The EU is the largest economy in the world. Although growth is projected to be slow, the EU remains the largest economy in the world with a GDP per head of €25 000 for its 500 million consumers. The EU is the world's largest trading block. The EU is the world’s largest trader of manufactured goods and services. The EU ranks first in both inbound and outbound international investments The EU is the top trading partner for 80 countries. By comparison the US is the top trading partner for a little over 20 countries. The EU is the most open to developing countries. Fuels excluded, the EU imports more from developing countries than the USA, Canada, Japan and China put together. The EU benefits from being one of the most open economies in the world and remains committed to free trade. The average applied tariff for goods imported into the EU is very low. More than 70% of imports enter the EU at zero or reduced tariffs. The EU’s services markets are highly open and we have arguably the most open investment regime in the world. The EU has not reacted to the crisis by closing markets. However some the EU’s trading partners have not been so restrained as the EU has highlighted in the Trade and Investment Barriers Report. In fact the EU has retained its capacity to conclude and implement trade agreements. The recent Free Trade Agreements with South Korea and with Singapore are examples of this and the EU has an ambitious agenda of trade agreements in the pipeline. The fact that the Office for Budget Responsibilty predicts at least a 4% decline in GDP as a result of brexit should tell you everything you need to know about the financial advantages of belonging in the EU. But of course a financial guru like yourself is clearly aware that an investment of cash into an organisation that yields far greater financial gains on that investment is always a sound deal. It would be insulting to suggest that you would think otherwise wouldn't it?
  21. Two very obvious problems with this. First there aren't any EU countries that want to leave the EU (as is backed up by all the popular opinion polls in those countries). Second, they will have seen just how "successful" our free trade deal with the EU has been. Finally, could you explain why you find it impossible to provide links to this stuff you cut and paste?
  22. Indeed! The very fact that the only person Johnson could muster up to defend him was the laughably incompetent Truss suggests Johnson's right in the sh*it again. That he is mired in lies and sleaze will, of course, come as no suprise at all to those who have worked closely with him and subsequently described him as totally unfit to govern (including figures like Max Hastings and Peter Oborne).
  23. Oh dear! How ridiculous to post the latter comment after having posted the most crassly simplistic statistic previously. You would think even someone who can't be bothered to do any research would at least be aware that the disparity in the likelihood of being convicted if the defendant is black is precisely one of the issues in contention. Just as disparity in the likelihood of being arrested for virtually any alleged crime if one is black is an issue in contention. Not only a crass understanding of statistics and the complexities of their interpretation, but no link to those that are casually included. Perhaps that isn't a surprise because they are completely misleading. Here, for example, are the Department of Justice (FBI) figures for 2018: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls#:~:text=Expanded Homicide Data Table 6 , 122 11 more rows Try these too: https://drrichswier.com/2020/06/28/96876/ So, yes Herman is spot on with his crtiticism of the constant overly simplistic, ill-informed dross posted by you.
