But the idea that Muslims in Britain (and more coming to Europe during the refugee crisis) was not in (some) people's minds in 2016 is fanciful, because Farage did his evil best to put it there.No, just saying that saying something said by Trump / Farage in 2017 which is what the article referenced didn't influence the 2016 vote.
In 2015 Farage was asked about no go areas for non Muslims in France (by good old Fox News) after the Charlie Hebdo shootings, he then extended that to "major European cities" and then proceeded to have a good rant about the UK too. He complained about immigrants to the UK from Pakistan in the same breath, so not relevant to FOM or Brexit, just generally pretty anti Muslim.
Or not.You knew what I meant by CU’s.
And I have said several times on this thread the decision to leave will be ratified by the NI parliament.
Could you come back then?Meh = fine by me - as good as could possibly be expected immediately after leaving
It will be in the future that the benefits of not being in the EU will become obvious
Interesting (and great) times - I was at the Dinamo game.I asked @BobKowalski the question as even the most un-political City fan would be aware of the annexation of parts of the Ukraine by the left-wing dictator of Russia trampling over the citizens of an elected government.
I went to Kiev to see City play Dinamo in 2015 with Bill. And then we had three games against Shakthar Donetsk which had to be moved to Kharkiv due to the communists ruling the strip of land Donetsk was in.
I can’t believe anyone couldn’t remember that and the highly unlikely acquiescence of the dictator to allow closer European ties.
I stayed at the big Ukraine (Khreschatyk) Hotel next to that central square - I think you guys were there as well? I think I may have bumped into Bill when picking up the tickets at the CITY hotel.
Walking around the central square with all the photos of those that had died and soldiers 'collecting' money to support the families of the deceased was very 'poignant'
I bottled out of the Kharkiv trips after getting my tickets - I was OK with Kiev, but.... fair play to you.
But as you say - the situation at that time and the events since mean that EU membership is very unlikely
Were they straight or bendy ones?That external tariff reduction going well...
‘Supply Lines: Britain's first post-Brexit bananas arrive from Ghana ... with a $24,000 tariff surcharge attached’ @Bloomberg
But at least they are well up on CITY mattersGrasp of foreign affairs not a strong point with Brexiteers.

I do believe the government might have made it harder to find our new global tariffs...
So I can't check, but is this because Ghana was one of the developing countries that could export to the EU with zero tariffs and we haven't rolled that over?
Pretty much. It will get sorted eventually I imagine.

But they need us more than we need them when it comes to Financial Services...Bloomberg is a ray of fucking sunshine today...
’Aquis Exchange Plc, London’s second-biggest venue for trading European shares, has seen almost all of this business shift into the European Union on the first trading day since Brexit.
Chief Executive Officer Alasdair Haynes told Bloomberg TV on Monday that 99.6% of its European share trading moved to its parallel venue in Paris.
“Europe has clearly won the battle for its own share trading,” he said. The shift “is a spectacular own goal as Britain is now losing its very strong position in trading of European equities in London,” he said.‘
