But none of that has "gone", has it? At the next General Election the UK public can now vote for a party that does want to spend yet another huge additional tranche on the NHS, or severely curtail immigration, if those choices exists. That will be up to them.

And let's not forget Remain's "Armageddon" of "no-deal" where we have to revert to WTO rules. Assuming that's a 10% duty on everything imported from the EU, I make that another £50,000,000,000 (50 billion) each year into the greedy hands of the Exchequer.

You selectively quoted me there. What I also said was that were was no evidence of any Brexiter regret.

Is that sodding bus all you can come up with? I was never in favour of that message but it was been entirely disowned since and yet..... there is no Brexiter regret and a bigger majority now want the UK government to get on with it. So it played no influence in the result.

Nobody's going to queuing at customs and immigration controls in EU states will hardly differ from what they already are - in any case they're a lot less time consuming than arriving at UK immigration, or for that matter going through the ludicrous airport security charade. If touring Europe...

It's not really so complicated. As others have already explained, a migrant worker is entitled to the same benefits as a local. It's just that other countries don't have such wildly generous benefits systems as the UK. And that is what I think, as the thread title says, is one of the BEST...

Well, I think I'm right. And having lived and worked in Spain for the last 12 years, I think the chances are good that I have a grasp of the system there.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Take Spain. Assuming someone under 30 can even find a job there, you will get zero health cover until you have made social security payments and at best you'll only ever be entitled to two years of unemployment benefit before that stops entirely. You...

Barcelona points per game this season: 2.16 Brighton points per game this season: 2.22

There's also a mismatch in priorities. For a non-league side to reach this stage of the cup is pretty much the financial equivalent of getting to the Premier League. What I mean is that they had already banked almost a season's worth of income from their cup run prior to this game and an away...

If Germany win Group C, then winning Group D looks like being a big advantage as that half of the draw would avoid France, Italy, Germany (and England).

I, for one, think you've called that right. I don't begrudge Leicester their achievement, which is incredible, but the planets have had to align in extraordinary ways to present this opportunity. I would say it's good for football - in the sense that it should give hope to all smaller clubs, if...

Thank you for your link. As soon as I saw that the author of it is Richard Murphy my heart sank. if you look at the source material for Public Sector Net Borrowing you will see a different pattern, Up until the 1970s there was very little net borrowing at all. It made no difference who was in...

Do you have a link for that?

Yes, it is. There are complaints in this thread that not enough doctors are being trained but that report says too many are being trained based on future needs; "Unless action is taken to alter the current trajectories, there could be more fully trained hospital doctors than the current...

Places at medical school are oversubscribed by 10 to 1. There is no shortage of would-be doctors. Contrary to the current meme there is actually an over-supply of doctors in the UK. See this link from 4 years ago...

Obviously you're rather a smug, self-satisfied little fellow.

Obviously you didn't watch it. Prior to the 3rd Barcelona goal Celta Vigo should have been at least level at 2-2.

A typical reaction from the sort of person who doesn't actually watch any games in those leagues. I can't speak for Germany and France but I enjoy watching both the Premier League and La Liga and I will consistently defend the quality of teams at the lower end of La Liga which are certainly no...

Real Betis have two wins at home all season. The first against Real Sociedad (managed by David Moyes) and today against Valencia (managed by Gary Neville)
