Is Diane Abbott a Chelsea fan then?

Those 'assets' would have to be negotiated first with the rUK and so it would be impossible to say that they would be attractive at this point. They would also take a substantial amount of the national debt with them.

Given that it's the Mayor and not a French MP I don't think we have to worry unduly just yet. This was a bilateral agreement that was not linked to EU membership and so the Mayor is just chancing her arm, and of course it sells news.

They will of course firstly have to gauge whether there is popular support for another referendum and then secondly make a case to the Scottish people to vote on. They cannot just dust off the phish that was in the white paper seeing as the economic environment has clearly changed.

Northern Ireland will not be joining the Republic anytime soon as the Republic are directly affected by Brexit and so unification would and should be the last thing that will be on their minds. There's an incredible amount of hysteria in this thread. As someone who voted remain I am...

As has been said before, there are a number of EU countries that would not like to encourage separatist movements within their own countries and so I can't see that happening. An example is Spain.

Scotland would not be a net contributor to the EU budget so I can't see the attraction of letting them in, coupled with the fact that many EU countries will be less inclined to encourage break away movements given their own related problems with countries like Spain.

Scotland would undoubtably have had a referendum at some point if we stayed in anyway. Not sure that Jimmy Krankie will push for it too soon given that they will be reliant on the Bank of England in a shared currency deal and also the fact that Scotland will be suffering from voter fatigue...

As I said I don't doubt that we will be worse off, certainly in the short term. The rest of your post is just drivel as no one is suggesting non whites will be told to leave the NHS. Clearly if the NHS needs foreign staff then our immigration policy will have to support that. My concerns on...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35943216 It looks like we pay around £161 a week. I think it's clear that there would be financial turmoil if we leave, certainly in the short term. I can't see it being the armageddon that people are portraying on here though. The EU has just...

He was going down before the contact IMO. He also did the old trick to trail the leg looking for contact.

I think a loan was the right thing to do he just went to the wrong club.

He's been playing well for over half a season but it's only now that he's getting the media attention. I believe that he has more to his game than just playing in a direct manner.

Ive seen him live a couple of times this season, last time against Villa. I'd certainly agree that he can be inconsistent but when he is on it he is very good. It's whether he could he make the step up where there is more expectation is the question for me. I believe that Mahrez would be the...

The French have a bigger problem than us because they are landlocked with other countries who perhaps haven't got the same levels of funding and quality of intelligence services. Schengen doesn't help either. Mistakes will always be made as believe it or not there are a hell of a lot of people...
