    The EU makes up 44% of the UK export market: The UK makes up 16% of the EU's export market. Try that one again. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    "A war of financiers and fools, though most people, on the allied side at any rate, do not yet see very clearly how financiers come into it. Financiers also desired war as a means of overthrowing their rivals and consolidating still further their immense power. Hitler not only engaged in barter trade which meant no discount profits for bankers arranging bills of Exchange, but he even went so far as to declare that a country's real wealth consisted in its ability to produce goods; nor, when men and material were available, would he ever allow lack of money to be an obstacle in the way of any project which he considered to be in his country's interests. This was rank heresy in the eyes of the financiers of Britain and America, a heresy which, if allowed to spread, would blow the gaff on the whole financial racket."

    The same Daily Excess that assured us that this was going to be the coldest winter in a century.

    Yes, I deliberately picked 2018 as it included all seats. In 2021, when only a third of the seats were re-elected, quite a few of the Lib Dem ones were on the ticket, so Labour probably got less than 11 per cent as the ‘affluent’ areas of the city vote slightly less loony Left for Hull’s Official Opposition.

    <doh> Try looking at actual financial values, idiot. Our imports from the EU continue to fall, reducing our trade deficit, whilst exports continue and in some quarters increase. Why should it be a surprise that the European Union, with six times our population, sends a smaller percentage of their exports here?

    Gareth Bale & Martin Keown have been mercilessly teased for looking like monkeys for decades , don't remember any arrests or tearful interviews from them .

    I'm pretty certain I could post the exact same thing to Bale today and no ****s would be given .

    He stands out as a ****e pundit, even among other ****e pundits.

    He comes across as a moaning ****er filled with self pity that's looking for excuses for why he doesn't get the recognition his delicate ego is convinced he deserves. He made a career from hoofing out of defence.

    He was caught snorting coke and dodging drug tests early in his career and referred to Ashley Cole as a choc ice .
    Not exactly the most honest man in showbiz

    And his morals were there for all to see in the Court case, where the extent of his loyalty to his dying wife was exposed by 10, presumably blind women he'd been shagging.

    The Guardian have become the daily Boris party fanzine.

    3 or 4 stories a day about his party as click bait for remain voters

    Never mind the rights and wrongs of any of this. Boris had a birthday cake, and not everyone got a slice. <diva>

    Yup and he was fined over £60K for being a racist <laugh>

    Shagging other women whilst his wife was dying of cancer.

    Despicable human being but because he's a darkie it's alright. The Lefty Loony woke hypocritical ****wits will defend this odious piece of **** to the hilt <ok>
