    The bigger picture means nothing in these contexts: "workers rights" to zero hours contract dude in Sunderland; "freedom of movement" to builder in Brum being undercut by gangs of eastern Euroman; "Europe is our biggest trading partner" to Swansea wasteland dweller who's job got outsourced.
    Eastern euromang is living somewhere cheap and making his money where the work pays best.  It's what people are going to have to do.  Unfortunately it's not realistic to expect there to be jobs for everyone on their doorstep anymore.  Hence I had to move 100 miles away and currently have to do a 120 mile round-trip to earn decent money. It's not going back to the old days, regardless of who is in charge.

    Maybe I am being naive in expecting everyone to have the same level of drive but I personally didn't want to stay on my Widnes council estate with f*ck all.  I don't expect something for nothing.  It breaks my heart as my folks are in their twighlight years and I wish I was there to help them on the daily, but there is no work there and no prospect for my kids.


    And you think this message is a vote winner? The biggest worry for Remain should be that they have failed to learn from the big lesson that the British electorate has just taught them; i.e it was sanctimonious, contemptuous and arrogant attitudes that were the main reason that they lost this vote in the first place. Funnily enough, patronising people and calling them thick (or fascists) doesn't turn out to be an effective way of winning people over to your arguments....who'd have thought it, eh?

    Plain truth is, not one team apart from Leicester can call this a successful season.
    The way Spurs melted in the final weeks was ridiculous.
    Where there was hope, there's only despair.
    But never mind eh, we've got one foot in Wembley, COYL

    Actually, I reckon most proper fans really do want to see their side get nasty with hated opposition.


    Gratifying to watch MOTD 2 on Sunday and and hear respectable posh rag journo endorse this sentiment, with relish.
    Shame she caveated with "it might not be the done thing to say this, but..."

    Hi Doc

    yes, just half hour before Chelski Spuz.
    I'm seeing a Spurs win, and an edgy couple of games for a Vardy n Drinkwater-less Leicester. 
    But: the good=
    Charlton down, Wall in playoffs, Nigel in free fall, Lollerpool and Citeh hopefully give Doc n Jim a thrill.
    The bad: Nigel in the cup final ::hated it::
