  1. "Best we can hope for in the short to medium term is the UK rejoins the single market. That would at least make Brexit work *better* than it currently does. " Not sure that is in any way feasible - what would UK give up to get that access? As soon as you go down that road all the usual suspects that got us into this mess will all be squealing all over again (spoiler: the Uk doesn't think it has to give anything up)
  2. The voters in these redwall seats all complain of a broken Britain etc etc - yet see no connection between the country voting tory for 14 years and those towns voting for Brexit despite being warned it would lead to problems - they just moan about everything - often quite correctly (services are expensive or being cut, roads are a state, housing is expensive etc etc) but when you ask them when things were better.. well the answer is either a) under a labour government when we part of the EU or b) some fictional Facebook sepia tinted picture of Britain "when you could leave your front door open, we didn't know how lucky we were" Voters say they want the truth but when someone sane (if dull and sometimes wrong) gets into power and says "lads, things are worse than we realised" they bleat about a lack of instant fixes and say it's wrong to keep blaming the last government (despite the lie about Labour crashing the economy in 2008 STILL being a stick labour get beaten with in 2025) as for rejoining the EU - the barriers are immense - you have a press and a large portion of the population that will behave just abysmally. You have an electorate that recognises the mistake but is all very English and "made out beds, mustn't grumble" etc etc - no backbone. And you have an opposition party (or two) that is plain bonkers and when labour do lose power they would renege/reverse any progress made in matters EU in seconds Meanwhile EU countries can see all this clearly and have no incentive to engage until this country grows up and is able to demonstrate they won't act hysterically when reintegration starts
  3. ". Which ever way you cut it, the world has become a much more scary and dangerous place. " This is true, but what I can't get my head around is the "why?" Where is the win for Trump/America/Voters with all of these moves?
  4. would be odd if both virgin AND Microsoft felt you needed to do something with your phone. Almost certainly a scam Saying that - a quick google shows there can be an issue between MS Outlook and Virgin re emails Paste the text of the messages in here and we can have a look sometimes the address can be similar - bit not quite right - as another way to fool
  5. The lengths some people will go to to excuse bad owner/dog behaviour. Ignoring multiple news reports of dogs causing extreme injury/death I don’t care how friendly you think YOUR dog is. Keep them the f@@@ away from other people
  6. First time post Badly composed Suspiciously exaggerated claims Conclusion: probable troll/extreme dickhead perhaps multiple neighbours will verify the claims but right now? Nah
  7. All good to hear. Cheers BNG If I’m honest, those fliers give off very bland corporate energy also. Shouldn’t it be a relaunch party instead of a launch party? hopefully I’m wrong and it’s great
  8. nope - was sold to Green King pubs many years ago
  9. I found Motherland to be insufferable - the very worst of entitled/oohwhatamIike nonsense and everyone who said "it was so relatable" went down in my..... my book That article and what I've seen of Amandaland do nothing to change this
  10. Vladi obviously trolling But we see enough people on Question Time saying things like "now that Trump is sorting everything out.." like there aren't going to be major dire consequences for what is happening over there Anyway - that eejit from Brewdog has already launched his UK Doge nonsense (the whole idea is crackpot - it needs crackpot to implement it - you can't have the idea without the crackpot. Just like.. y'know... the other thing. What's it called again? Putin enjoyed that one too. It's on tip of my tongue.. Brexit! Yes that's it) https://www.thenational.scot/news/24932406.james-watt-launches-shadow-doge-watchdog-take-uk-government/
  11. if I'm consistent on any single thing, it will be that I will never welcome leavers - unless they recant 😉 "we should welcome our leavers"
  12. Can’t see stonegate accepting an offer from community group. Would love to be wrong if a young Irish family are going to take it over then good luck to them. You need to be a canny operator (and Con was definitely that) to handle the hoops stonegate throw at you
  13. whooooooosh
  14. first Trump comes back and ruins everything and in a similar fashion....
  15. didn't realise Blythe was already a Stonegate pub - they won't have made things easy for him
