Re: Hospitality price for K'minster game.

Unless I've misunderstood this it seems that season ticket holders and 500 club members miss out - which is isn't a good policy. From the club site -- "Taking into account that the normal admission price for a home game is £14, then you're only paying £11 for a meal and a programme. Commercial dire...

Re: Democracy under threat.

Well, if I’d ever said that the EU’s standards are better than its member countries, you’d have a point. But as the EU sets *minimum* standards to ensure harmonisation for ease of trade, how can they be better than those of its member countries? Think about it. These minimum standards allow those t...

Fair enough, I'm not a die-hard Conservative or Boris Johnson fan, I'm just a Brexiteer. I'm also not a fan of this deal, as already stated. As I said though, they're answerable to the electorate, and we can create our own laws, rules, and regulations. I don't agree with the EU having ANY say over ...

Re: Democracy under threat.

The new deal is a minor improvement on May's deal but most of it is pretty much the same. Some of the worst points: 1) It restricts our military action. 2) It restricts our foreign policy. 2) They have access to our waters during the transition period, and any future FTA is dependent on this contin...

Re: He fought the law, and the law won

It’s called the Supreme Court for a reason, it’s higher than the High Court - it’s the ultimate arbiter on interpretation of the law, it doesn’t make laws and it doesn’t make political decisions. It sits in judgment when asked to clarify a point of law and when it has already been through the lower...

Re: He fought the law, and the law won

With regards to the Supreme Court, it's not a conspiracy theory to question something. The Supreme Court is only a recent thing (it sounds like an old English tradition but it isn't) as it was set up in 2009. It's my belief that the courts should not have gotten involved in this as it's purely a po...

Nope, I’ve said that the WA and Trade Deal are linked - the EU say they are linked, not independent of each other. The trade deal will not follow a No Deal as though somehow the EU will just waive the terms of the WA. The EU have consistently said that the 3 outstanding elements of the Withdrawal A...
