I think it was right that we along with our traditional allies defended Israel against the barrage of missiles and drones from Iran at the weekend. Partly because if we didn’t it would almost certainly have been a massive escalation ( although we might not have dodged that bullet yet, Netanyahus...

Name the film. “If the glove don’t fit you’re all full of shit”.

It’s also going to mainly affect food inflation which currently is running at about 4.5% which is over a percent higher than overall inflation. People will feel it more in their pocket than any effect in overall inflation would suggest.

There has to be a gain though Steve for it to be positive. It’s being sold as a brexit is awesome story, see the OP as the perfect example. You can’t detract from what brexit was sold as. We held all the cards, we’ve had our pants pulled down by two economies whose combined worth is less than...

It’s not positive though. Even in isolation it’s neutral at best. All we’ve done is return to the position we were once at having dropped to 7th because of brexit.

The other thing with this story is absolutely nothing points to our performance would have been worse had we remained in the EU. If anything evidence suggests it would be better. Even if you want to ignore that we fell to 7th place in the first place as a direct consequence of brexit.

In isolation maybe but in the real world consequences aren’t based upon one result in one area. It’s kind of like celebrating regaining full functionality in your left hand after years of operations and rehabilitation after deliberately crashing your car saying that will show those who said I...

I think if you break the figures down Steve firstly it looks like they aren’t adjusted for inflation, something that’s hit the UK harder than most EU countries driving up the cost of UK products and exports. Secondly it looks like the only real growth is with the EU, it’s not as a result of...

That’s the glimmer of light for me. Our goal difference. (edit) that and the fact Norwich’s last game is away to Birmingham. If Birmingham needs all 3 points to stay up come the last game of the season that could be a tough game for Norwich.

Minimum. To keep it in our own hands we need to win all our remaining games. West Brom win tonight against Rotherham they’ll only need a win and a draws to potentially put 75 points out of reach for the playoffs. Norwich on paper at least also have a relatively easy last 4 games 2 draws and 2...

I think we’ll beat last season’s points total but without a complete capitulation of Norwich and/or West Brom it won’t happen and I can’t see that happening. 75 points I reckon minimum this season for the playoffs. We’ve got to basically win our remaining games and hope Norwich at least drop...

Mussolini and Hitler for that matter were both famously pro capitalism as they believed it to be the driving force of industry and technology. Mussolini wasn’t the least bit interested in class war and the only person who considered him a socialist was himself. Like the Nazis it was window...

You can’t tell me that the public overwhelmingly support Netanyahu because it’s simply not true. Latest polling out of Isreal currently has 71% of the population thinks he should resign.

In my experience private consultants are the same consultants you would see under the NHS. I needed an urgent referral to the urologist a couple of years ago, urgent meant about 6 weeks so I went private and saw a urologist the next day. I needed a high quality ultrasound but the Meriden centre...

Most countries in the EU have a universal healthcare system. The real question is why aren’t we copying them, especially true of the Scandinavian countries. Take Denmark for instance. Its universal healthcare system is so effective that only about 1% of hospital beds there are private, compared...

I think denial in the face of facts is human nature in a way Pete. If you did a snap poll of Jews in Britain on whether they think the IDF is committing atrocities in Gaza I’d dare say you’d get a similar statistic, possibly even higher in denying that they are. Which wouldn’t be surprising as...

Again. Do you believe that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is a democracy? You seem to be struggling with oxymorons again. As well as facts.

If it was binary it wouldn’t have been going on for decades. You really ain’t very clever. I’m on the side of the tens of thousands of innocent people who have been killed. Even in Israel it isn’t binary. Tens of thousands Israelis took to the streets again over the weekend demanding an end to...

You’ll be telling us that North Korea is a democracy next.

Talking of explaining, I was talking about your post. It’s your post that’s the oxymoron not your predictive text mistake.
