OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

[swaledale]

...and not so good to see that our moderator’s USP of sh1t stirring and Swale baiting continues unabated. Are you Rats in disguise, only the unfunny version with better spelling?

So let’s get back to the actual issue. I’m in agreement with Sith’s sensible and relevant point that there may well be a very good reason to reform our electoral system. However, Reform, ‘the opposition party within the next two years’. Really?
Just remind us...I recall the same being said about UKIP and, apart from being largely responsible for the wreckage of Brexit, how many seats did they win? Oh yeah, that’s right...two!

As for that self serving oaf Farage...how many times did he stand - always unsuccessfully - for Parliament, was it seven or eight? And can anyone actually explain a single way in which our country has been improved by his largely dishonest, bigoted and divisive rantings?

You would also think as a moderator he would understand how ignore works!! But clearly seems unaware that one can actually choose to view the posts of people one has on ignore and I'm always fascinated by Thicky's take on Brexit. I mean given its been proven to be a complete **** show, one would have thought he would keep his head down and enjoy those mythical benefits. But I guess Thicky by name Thicky by nature!

Surely its OK to question and wonder why a certain portion of the population choose to do something, I mean millions will probably be watching the WC final on Itv..how do you explain that ?

Because we all want to see France lose?

I don’t. Probably would against Morocco, Brazil or Croatia but against Argentina I’d prefer France to win. Nothing to do with politics or the Falklands etc. I’ve just always hated the Maradona ‘Hand of God’ thing...and yes I know he was a brilliant footballer and that all teams cheat to some extent but that, to me, was the most celebrated piece of cheating - by player and nation alike - ever...so it’s come on Les Bleus for me.

B*gger! Oh well...what happens in Bolton a week on Tuesday is much more important. .

Well he was a proven cheat as was kicked out the WC in 94 for taking a banned drug.

On the other hand...

thats a great analogy

I doubt you'd spend the next six plus years insulting the ITV watchers just for the act of exercising their free will, or for that matter asking for the game to be replayed...would you?

So you don't have him on ignore. I'm glad you cleared that up

I know we disagree a lot, and this is off the subject, but are you serious? or do you just mean football when it has impacted England?
