Is it? ECB announces fresh stimulus as eurozone economy falters The European Central Bank has announced a fresh stimulus package in an attempt to prevent the fragile eurozone economy from grinding to a halt, with an interest rate cut and plans to pump €20bn (£19bn) a month into the financial...

She could always 'knight' him with a cricket bat instead of a sword!

Personally, I wouldn't bet on that.

I could say the same about Brexit! That may well be the case but it is irrelevant as to whether there should be a referndum on the question or not. Which was Jeremy Corbyn, until you turned it into another EU referendum thread!

On immigration and the death penalty? There's a simple way to find out!

Why not ask them about immigration and the death penalty too, or are you not so keen on them?

How did that work out last time for David Cameron?

Since they have no intention of honouring any result with which they disagree it is absolutely pointless holding one.

I'm saying it would be a total irrelevance to most people as witnessed by the low turnout in the recent EU election.

I ignore any callers unless I'm expecting them and especially don't shout anything to confirm I'm at home.

It wouldn't be a genuine referendum because the current parliament has no intention of leaving the EU whatever the result is as they have already demonstrated.

You're assuming people will vote the same way in a general election as they would in a referendum, I'm not.

No, you want a referendum because you assume you'll win it and you don't want an election because you assume you'll lose it.

Only because you assume you'll win it and if you don't you'll find some mechanism or other to sidestep the legislation just as the Dutch and French governments did when the vote went against them.

Your side has never accepted the result of the first referendum so there's no reason to think you would accept the result of a second if it went against you.

It was always a poisoned chalice, just look at what happened to previous occupants of the same post: Stephen Crabb 19 March 2016 14 July 2016 Damian Green 14 July 2016 11 June 2017 David Gauke 11 June 2017 8 January 2018 Esther McVey 8 January 2018 15 November 2018 None lasted more than...

We had some fun with Daly and McCall one night. We played this game in the Digital Spy forum where we took a drink every time one of them mentioned 'Blackpool' during the show. McCall - who'd clearly had a few drinks herself - got wind of this and mentioned us during the show. We pissed...
