    No it's because when you were a leaver you just classed all foreigners together. Now you are a remainer you don't care about nationalities ;)

    No, that's not right. Leaving isn't about race, but it is a little about numbers...

    While I think that leaving would have bad short- and medium-term consequences for the UK, the company I work for buys most of its product in GBP, so leaving (and the resulting plunge in the pound) would be pretty beneficial for us. So should you choose to do your part for Canadian industry, I'll appreciate it even if I won't quite understand it.

    I was joking. We just had to laugh around the dinner table as my wife talked about her wedding birthday coming up and the boys were in fits of laughter.

    But the UK car industry wants no tariffs on the foreign steel they buy. Yes they buy some British steel as well but they buy most of it from Europe.

    You do realise don't you, that your Turkish neighbour was in fact a plant put there to perform presisely that function when you left the house today....long term planning by the remain camp indeed :emoticon-0100-smile.
    My neighbour isnt Turkish, or even able to cook as far as I know so there was nobody to change my mind when I left the house, hence I still voted leave.
    I don't know if I'm one of You Lot, or Them Lot or any lot really - am from an immigrant background and well educated so don't fit too many stereotypes for a Leave voter...most remain voters dont really fit any pattern either and it really does just come down to personal choice...I hope we can all get back to mormal on this board next week.
    Oh, and SpacedSaint, can you please ask your neighbour if he'll cook for me too, as I have a few spare vine leaves and I bloody love them stuffed

    Hear hear. Similarly educated to degree and also Leave. Really fed up being labelled. This is going to be a close thing so Remainers need to stop and think before making such harmful comments.

    Here's the same view from a former EU advisor. I suspect the "bureaucrats" have more than a passing interest in in this notion but you make of it what you will lad .

    Why we should ban referenda on EU policies

    By using the word often in the sentence i didnt consider it necessary to say some Remain voters - but you are quite correct it is some Remain voters.

    I can't be arsed to read all the posts on this thread, it's been a long day at 35°c working in the vines, obviously I'm in, but my vote was stolen from me by the 15 year rule. However if this hasn't been brought up, does that mean out will mean no Bosman?

    Stolen by the 15 year rule? I have heard that often from people who choose not to live in this country for an extended period of time. Seems an odd attitude that you want a say in government, but dont actually live in the society you seek to influence.

    Most western countries allow all citizens to vote, I will one day return, but until that time I am not burdening the Nhs or the benefits system, however I might soon be depending on the result. Sadly I am in the minority of expats that work and are not pensioners who will cause a massive burden if forced to return. Anyway my question was about the Bosman law.

    Shoot you touched a raw nerve! My choice on leaving was working or the dole queue what would you do sponge or provide for your famIly? I have saved the UK government £1000's. I work long hours on less than the UK minimum wage but am proud to British, as we get on our bike when needs must.

    That will depend if British law has been altered to reflect the precedent set there. I assume it has otherwise British clubs would have tested it already in the British Courts. Therefore British law must uphold Bosman and therefore it will continue unless it is changed back.

    Extra time and penalties I expect. Or the toss of a 2 Euro coin should do the trick.

    I'm sure you have good reasons for doing what you do...it struck me as odd though because If I made a (pretty much) permanent move abroad, it would be because I wasn't interested in this one. That says more about me than you though so dont take it as a criticism.

    Well that's a good thing, despite the explosion of players wages. Imagine if your boss came in one day and said " we have sold you to x 500 miles away in y, go pack your stuff, thanks for your time. "
    At the end of the day we all make our choices dependant on our circumstances, the one constant is through good and bad, differences in politics come Saturday (Sunday, Monday and Thursday, hopefully Tuesday /Wednesday and probably satellite friday) we unite behind the red and white.
