Do you think the various groups which have sprang up since August have achieved nothing?...

Was at a party last night, the current Mrs PL’s ex work colleagues & partners, got chatting to a lad there I’ve met two or three times before. He works at Bournemouth airport for a company designing galley kitchens for aircraft. They’re doing new ones for the A380s and have just signed a big contract with Airbus. I mentioned that I thought they were pretty vocally anti Brexit and what did he think of the situation....he seemed a bit surprised that I thought there was anything to be concerned about..... Another party last month, my mates brother in law, who is a great lad and is the man the phrase “it’s not rocket science” was invented for as he is literally a rocket scientist. He’s left design far behind though, he now basically runs an agency hiring out top level free lance engineers all over the UK, Europe & beyond...he’s not bothered either, basically said “money talks”. At at the beginning of this thread I said that anyone who says they know how all this will pan out is a liar...I still largely stand by that but it would strongly appear that it’s just going to be degrees of shiteness. A mate who runs a branded workwear company lost a fortune in June 2016 when the pound plummeted in value after the referendum vote because he imports everything from China. He’s still cheerfully in favour of Brexit. “It’ll be alright” he says....which I shared his optimism..

Well this has cheered me up this morning.. The Brexit fanatics go for broke. This is their chance of counter-revolution https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/13/brexit-fanatics-no-compromise-go-for-broke-chaos-counter-revolution?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

@ewerk I know you're up the road from Dublin but do you have any idea what the fuck is going on here? Some of the comments are horrific....

Good thread by the formerly of this parish @Happy Face

So they’re setting up in the UK to import the parts that Nissan needs from overseas? Won’t these parts be subject to tariffs after the end of next March regardless of whether they have branches set up in the UK or not, which is almost certainly the current situation anyway, seeing as they are already importing parts for Nissan? Feel free to correct anything I’ve got wrong here, am not claiming to be an expert...

I've just tuned in to my first "Ford Super Sunday"<yawn> of the season and I've been confronted with the sight of Souness & Bellamy virtually sat on each others knee..when did that become a thing?... 🤔

At the Sage last week, a giant banner was unfurled showing Keegan in that iconic black and white strip and emblazoned with one word: “Honesty.” It was taken to the last home game, along with a similar banner for Benítez bearing its own message: “Hope.” The stewards pulled them both down and that, more than anything, probably sums up Newcastle United in the Mike Ashley years. A football club that could do with some honesty and hope. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/oct/07/will-newcastle-ever-truly-be-set-alight-under-the-mike-ashley-regime

The blatant penalty we didn’t get from the manc ref when we two nil up was crucial...they had a good shout too like but they would’ve thrown the towel in at three nowt..

I was there and all I remember was Hendrie’s goal

Rafas critics on twitter out in force....if we’d brought Schar or Hayden on when Kenedy went off it would’ve invited them on even more. I get what Rafa was trying...hit their narrow 3 at the back on the counter with Murphy and Atsu. That was the right tactics but you can only piss with the dick you’ve got. The big plus was Muto he was fuckin mustard for 60 mins but we can see why Rafas been reluctant to start him because he’s not fit enough. Their bench won them the game. Sanchez can fuck off the bone idle fuckin oxygen thief. Been a waste of a shirt all bastard season

Fuckin hell A cynic might suggest it was all staged.....was there major beef between them in the build up?....

I only remember the Hendrie goal and I was there...fuckin hell...

Apart from beating Liverpool 0-1 at Anfield in 1988, 6 months before we were relegated, but aye, it’s just like us Thinking a dull nowts each myself. The special one has alienated the entire dressing room at his second successive club. There’s no denying his achievements but his ego has finally fuckin eaten him and pretty much ended his top level career. Publicly slaughtering players and club employees is only going to end one way. And he’s just had the dreaded “vote of confidence” from the board. He’s toast regardless of the result. He’s just a symptom of a shocking situation at Manu though, Woodward worked for the bank who facilitated the takeover by the Glazers, who have apparently taken over 1 Billion out of the club since then. Regardless of them being all conquering utter cunts for the best part of three decades, it has to be said we’re not the only ones being royally fucked over.

So PR genius Bishop told sky & the Daily Mail where they’d be having their dinner......I think having that cunt on board is ensuring that nothing is about to “blow over” any time soon

Anyone gone to.the sage??

How’s boss eyed Mala these days @Howmanheyman ??

The magpie group can say what they want, people will do precisely what they like. As I’ve said, a boycott is pointless.

It all sounds distinctly plausible. The ERG cunts know the grass roots tories are fully behind them. They’ll tell the MPs to shut the fuck up ot they’’ll be de selected...

They only built the new Leaf facility 4 years ago. Imagine voting to close it.

Sorry to hear of your troubles but we all have to accept we are limited in what we can do & achieve. Its about pressure and just keeping it up. Liverpool had marches through the streets supporting Rafa when he was in dispute with their previous owners but what removed them was them running out of money. Our old mate Llambias was removed from the Rangers board by share holder sales, not by what the Sons of Struth group were up to. What the various groups are doing should be applauded by anyone who wants rid of Ashley, not pissed on by grumpy fuckers because they're not trying to further poison the atmosphere inside the ground. That won't help the team or Rafa. I hardly need to point out that another relegation is a calamity and the players & Rafa need our support inside the ground.

In what world does crowds going down by a maybe a third make him sell when Ashley also has this going on? http://www.true-faith.co.uk/why-did-mike-ashley-buy-newcastle-united/ Hitting sports direct is precisely the right tactic. That is his real cash cow and that is all he cares about. All revenues from catering in the ground go to sub contractor sodexo. What are you actually doing yourself @trooper to get rid of the cunt?

Hamburg v St Pauli just kicked off... 57k on a Sunday lunchtime in Bundesliga 2 😳
