Who chose the winner?

Other than the fallibility of the technology I don't see the issue with giving tight offsides as offside. Eventually I suspect the technology will be such that all players will be tracked to the millimetre and these decisions can be made very quickly, too.

I don't suppose the EU cares so much about our income tax, that won't really affect them, but lower corporate tax rates and more so deregulation could definitely lure investment our way. You can tell from the rhetoric they're concerned. Listen out for "unfair competition" and "level playing...

Lower taxes, lower tariffs, deregulation etc.

I think the shift in rhetoric from Macron and the like since the general election shows you the mindset the EU has right now. They do not want a large economy on their doorstep undercutting them. The threat of No Deal is bound to hasten the entire negotiation process. It has always been one of...

Telegraph reporting that Boris will enshrine the December 2020 deadline into law, with or without a trade deal.

This is the definition of putting party before country. I don't think you're alone though, especially after some of the John McDonnell footage that has surfaced. I don't believe so. You got more votes Tony Blair last did, but then the population has increased by about 10% since then.

I'm sure they think he'll be Guardiola-lite, the problem is that even the real Guardiola probably couldn't sort this Arsenal team out, especially when they probably won't invest that heavily.

I want to believe this is real.

Only about 20% of votes went to parties vowing to revoke Article 50. I personally think that Labour would have tried to keep us in the EU by hook or by crook, but that's certainly not what they campaigned on. The SNP do have a mandate to pursue a second Independence Referendum, but I don't...

I think a hard border between England and Scotland and the neccessary adoption of the Euro currency are both going to be just as unpopular as they were in 2014, when the SNP were at pains to assure voters that those things would never ever happen.

Well they haven't done that much denying, they granted them a "once in a generation" referendum five years ago in which the Scottish people rejected independence. I can see the argument for a second referendum as there has been a material change in the Union (although did anyone make that...

SNP - "Give us a another referendum!" Gov. - "No." SNP - :(

What's worse for Labour is that in quite a few of the seats they retained, they only managed it because the Brexit Party took a decent chunk out of the Tory vote.

This isn't aimed at you in particular, but this reliance on social media as a barometer of public feeling has got to end. With Twitter, as an example, around 80% of tweets are made by about 2% of the population. These platforms are not remotely representitive of what everyday people think...

So now you're pretending that people voting for Boris in order to avoid a disastrous (as they see it) Corbyn government is some sort of revelation to you? I've been telling you that that's a large part of the reason I and others might vote Tory since this thread began. You can fill your boots...

Obama also won a peace prize for nothing at all, a Nobel Peace Prize in fact, and then he went on to bomb seven countries in six years. I don't put much stock in "peace prizes". I don't think those two things go hand in hand. I'm not sure I've ever expressed support for the Iraq war either...
