I'd be mega hacked off if they stole my Space Hopper.
How would I get to work? |

I'm sure the owners have learned the error of their profligate ways, and that will stand us in good stead going forward.
But I think a loosening of the purse strings and some prudent buys would make us competitive in the division, which we aren't now. "Spend nothing and hope to do a Huddersfield" seems to be the strategy. I believe the FFP arbitration hanging over us has been a big constraint. We need to look whiter than white to any arbitrator hearing the Football League's case. The sooner it's done and past us, the better imo. |

When you say the arbitration ended in June, I assume you mean, in a hearing, so now we are waiting on the arbitrator's decision, and any award.
If that's the case, then I doubt settlement talks are relevant. It's too late. I suppose both sides could agree to keep any award confidential. That could even be Holloway's bomb going off. He ran his mouth (not the first time) and had to deny it later. But at some stage, the club's management are going to have to tell fans that resolution has been reached, because it's acting as a huge straightjacket on our transfer policy and remains the elephant in the room |

In my view, QPR management need to explain to fans why they are allowing this to be dragged out. An arbitration need not take this long, and it's in the club's interest to get this malignant monkey off its back |

Good point about Cameron. He may play dirty if he thinks he's losing, getting the TV media to favour the establishment etc (after all, he's PR and advertising) - but if he does, he could cause problems in the Tory party for years |

BMW have put in a lot of investment into the UK, and made money, because there's a talented work force here. They won't pull out, nor will German companies that have invested in our infrastructure, power etc - because it's profitable for them.
Nissan has indicated it won't pull out of the UK in the event of a Brexit. They'd lose more than they gain.
None of these companies want Brexit because they don't like change. But Britain will continue to be a huge draw for investment, particularly in hard worldwide economic times. |

Sure, London and financial services are vital to the UK (and will continue to be, if the HSBC example deciding to stay based in London is anything to go by), but we also have skilled and versatile manufacturing work forces across the country. We lost our car manufacturing companies in the 1970's , but foreign companies want their cars built here. At present, our economy is better than any other country in Europe, possibly bar Germany. |

Britain joined the Common Market because the trading area was beneficial and there was minimal political interference. Maastricht and beyond changed that.
Resources? Britain is the fifth largest economy in the world. If the EU chains were taken off, it would trade globally, by sea and by air. Commercially, the EU is becoming less and less important to the UK. Whereas the UK is a vital customer to certain EU countries like Germany. |

Britain was also a maritime trading nation that navigated the world. There was not a nation with which it was restricted in doing business - unlike now.
We did not join the EU. We joined the Common Market. What we're in now is a perversion of it. |

I'm OUT
The EU is evolving. The 19 country Euro block led by Germany will become increasingly influential, and if the UK stays in, it will become marginalised. If the Euro Block want to run down London in favour of Frankfurt, they'll do so, and as an EU member we'd have to go along with it.
We've always been an outward-looking trading nation. We need to get back to our roots. |
