How can interest rates fall any lower - BoE rate is half of 1% - come on Andy you are better than that.

Although I agree there is not much room to trim from 0.5%, there appears a fair chance we could see a nudge down to 0.375% or 0.25% before Santa comes.

Desperate even by the Express's low standards. Gutteridge is an apt name for the reporter.

They were last time I was in one. Tell me when did Colleges cease to be part of higher education? Care to tell me what your job is then?

Colleges are Further Education, as TT has pointed out - not a distinction open to interpretation. If you need my credentials I'm a lecturer at a Russell Group University in the south-west

Exeter? At a guess? My daughter is looking at Exeter (just finished GCSE's so planning ahead). I have customers there also. Nice place.

God you do talk some rubbish!

The players can do it for their clubs, so the problem is either with the manager or mentality in camp

We used to have Gerrard Beckham Terry and Ferdinand in the same team but still failed, so leaders is not the issue
Joe Hart can seem to get through plenty of games without mistakes against better opposition in the champions league
Kane has the touch of a sledgehammer but scored 25 perm goals this year? then how many goals would he score if he improved it? 40 a season?

How did the PL clubs fair in the Champions League - when is the last time we reached a final?

It would suggest the PL isn't all its cracked up to be and yes these players can succeed in the better sides of the PL when surrounded by better players take that crutch away and you get what you got last night. Harry Kane had a free kick in front of the goal close to the end of the game - what happened he missed the target by 20 yards. It would suggest he technique isn't capable of scrutiny under real pressure. Let's face it if he playing against the standard of defenders that played for England last night no wonder he can score 25 goals.

Hart has always been error prone - what has happened in this tournament has happened plenty in his career.

Jean-Claude Juncker is on his feet addressing the European Parliament now and has said there will be no preliminary, informal discussions between the EU and UK representatives prior to triggering article 50.

No secret negotiations, he's said it three times now.

If you believe that you will believe anything. I am sure he and certain other unelected Eurocrats will adhere to his dictat but be sure talks will be going on with the elected leaders of the countries as they are the ones that stand to lose trade and jobs and even their own positions if it goes badly. Mrs M and Monsieur Hollande are up for election next year and will be being lobbied by their various trade groups. The whole reason for having diplomats is to hold secret talks and soundings and it is how international relations have always been conducted. Sir Humphrey will have already entered by the back door.

Re: Referendum and Rugby League : Tue Jun 28, 2016 12:41 pm  

Juncker could not have been clearer, no pre negotiation negotiations between the EU and the UK. Exercise article 50 when you are ready but nothing will be discussed before then. Delay will only prolong uncertainty which is not in either's best interest.
