No. Perhaps Hoppe is getting a visit from Steve Gibson, Chris Wilder and Leo. They are three wise men, aren’t they?

Just slowly going over the Boro sky? Is it a sign?

I was leaving it for someone else to pick up on it and comment, but look at the UK on the graph i added. Second worst in Europe for effect on the poor, but look at the differential between the poor and rich. France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the poor and rich are affected almost the...

Not ignoring this, just have a lot going on. I like the distractions of this board sometimes, but I've already fit in some lengthy posts in on a couple of threads, which leaves me little time for another. It's a great question though.

Ok, so you might have to read my very long post up the page to properly get this, but part of the answer is that the EU, whatever people say, is fundamentally a rule book concerned with fair trade. It works not because each member state automatically trusts each other but because there is a...

By 2019 a majority of the country had decided Brexit was a mistake for at least 18 months. Starmer was not going to campaign against a second referendum, it was he who announced it to a standing ovation at the Labour conference earlier that year. It was Corbyns ineptness and the duplicity of...

Bands aren’t going on holiday, they are going to earn a living in the EU internal market.
