    Agreed, we are demanding the government withdraws the unworkable Chequers offer and resets our negotiating position. Offshore accounts can be wholly legal, many expats use them, at least those not scratching to get by.

    By using the term "we" you now admit that you are not a supporter of the government, but an associate of the small faction within the ranks. Offshore accounts can be quite legal, but from next Spring who owns or has money in them will no longer be a secret. That is what is the real cause of alarm to those who are using them to avoid tax in their own countries.

    I use the word 'we' to cover all of those people who expected the government to honour the result. This includes most of those that voted Conservative and millions of Labour voters that hoped for an end to uncontrolled immigration.

    I'm off to the match now hoping for a great result to match the successful one in the referendum. :emoticon-0105-wink: :emoticon-0170-ninja

  4. Paid through his business interests including selling abortion pills to Indonesia. He's a hypocritical arse with the morals of an alley cat.

  5. And the poorest areas in the UK are about to be hit even harder. They rely on EU funding - even my 7 year old niece could tell you that there's more chance of Arlene Foster marrying the Pope than there is of a Tory government continuing the funding. But yeah - France...

  6. Votes from a party whose members still regard celebrating a battle that happened over 300 years ago as the highlight of the year. They also have religious views that would make some fundamentalist Muslims wince. Just what we need in the 21st century.

    Based over ten years, costing less than the Tories’ capital depreciation alone. Next. :emoticon-0110-tongu

    At the last election the Tory poll lead of 20% diminishing rapidly to a hung parliament, the Conservatives having to strike a deal with backward Unionists to cling onto power. It was the biggest single swing since 1945. Labour Party membership grew 35000 within days. Momentum’s membership has grown incredibly fast, quickly overtaking UKIP and the Green Party.
    What colour is the sky in your world, sh? ;)

    That would be a 52-48 win with Watford then going into administration. No, thanks. ;)

    That win was really good but not as satisfying as the referendum result because that one will last forever. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Today was more cleanly fought. ;)
    Watford didn’t promise free season tickets for all if we won, either.

    There was plenty of 'project fear' in Zaha's eyes after Capoue's tasty tackle. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I just think Harry should’ve fallen in front of Roy at that moment. I’m sure he would’ve seen the funny side of it.

  17. Not funny. That was a disgusting challenge. Not surprised as it's the MO of the Government right now

    The Labour Party has many problems including most of the leader's fellow MPs calling him useless. They are now also openly calling him an anti-Semite and a racist. It is no wonder the official opposition party are not well ahead in the polls as usual in mid term.

  19. A Tory moaning about racism in another party. You really cannot make this up. Funny thing is many Tories are anti semitic. F@&k me the Mail and other organs wanted Moseley elevated to sainthood when he died. Give me strength...

    There was an article in one of SH's comics today suggesting that 4 million voters would switch to the Labour party if Corbyn would come out against Brexit. If that should happen he would be swept to power. As someone who has never ever voted for the party I think I would be extremely tempted.
