We shafted all our allies in the commonwealth when we joined the EU. Left them high and dry. We would still trade with the EU. We would just be far more flexible to cater for the rest of the world. I expect you are relieved that we did not join the Euro. The whole country needs to be seen as a business and we will succeed globally.

Where have all our allies gone? Do you not think that we would not have trading agreements?

Why not? With 60m people we are not realy a small Island State; people want to trade with us. Have a little pride in this wonderful nation.

Well obviously. New York and then London. The Swiss are very self interested so I agree the country is well run.

Sickening. The enthusiasm is quite chilling.

There are considerably more Billionaires living in the UK. I think you will find that London is the 'hub of the financial world'. Although several attempts have been made by our friends the Germans and the French to move the financial centre of Europe to Frankfurt.

What makes you think that the EU wants to stop trading with us? You are very naive if you think that the EU will want to miss out on our business. I suspect that a new trading agreement would be drawn up that would suit us more. The Swiss thrive because they are not in the EU.

We in the South of England bankroll much of the UK and just cop grief from everyone else. Sadly if we did vote it would jsut be another meddling tier of bureacracy!

I can see why those on the payroll get stick but the DJ is one of us and if he was ****ed good on him. It was a day out and he acted in good faith. Saintkiptanui when you get a little older and become less conscious of image and what music people see you listening to then you will discover that Status Quo are actully quite entertaining. Rocking All over the World becomes and anthem after 5 or 6 pints.

I don't think that Thorpe Le Saint is a racist but he can somtimes be rude.

So its OK to discriminate against a nation; discrimination is OK under certain criteria. I feel that all prejudice and bigotry is wrong and that there may be some hypocrisy going on here. So you can refer to Japanese people as 'nips' because it is a nation? I am sorry but the left are so self righteous that they should sometimes look in the mirror. Personally I will have a pint with anyone if they are good company.

Arizona I think you are right. It is still however discrimination and any discrimination is abhorrent.

He was photographed in the Sun quite recently walking down the street.

Come on Thorpe Le Saint the context in which you used that derogatory term for an American, implied there was something wrong with being an American. Now whether you like it or not that is racist and I found it very ironic that while berating somebody else for showing favour to the BNP you showed the classic symptoms of bigotry and prejudice. Unless of course there are acceptable forms of racism?

I cannot but smirk at this. 'Yank'; Thorpe Le Saint are you racist towards our American cousins? Is it OK to be racist towards some people and not others?

Ashamed to say BNP. Very interesting to discover I have an inner Nazi inside of me!

Wiltshire Saint you are very wrong; I believe passionately that you get the best out of people when you look after them - look at John Lewis. The problem is that we compete in a global marketplace where companies will go elsewhere if they feel they can operate more competively - that is life rightly or wrongly. Unions have made the UK marketplace unattractive to foreign investors as Top Gun's example illustrates. That is why we have a shrinking private sector and a growng public sector (how long can that go on?). The public sector worker generally has shorter hours, takes more time off sick, has longer holidays and retires earlier. We in the private sector have been told that we must retire later to accomodate this. It is market forces. Your model would have us like Cuba.

Unions no doubt have a role to play but it is a buyers market today and if you do not accept it then they will loom elsewhere; like East Europe. This comment sums up a mentality that should stay firmly in the seventies. How many other foreign investors have been turned away from propsectus sites by this attitude.

It makes a lot of sense to sign a player on to your pay roll now knowing that he cannot play for you until next season.

Cheers Woodsaint saved me a lot of searching!

For my boys birthday I want to get him a full strip but do not know where I can find it on the saints online shop. What should I look for?

So basically its either 9 points off or AFC Portsmouth

Is it just me but why have they not had their nine points chooped off yet?

If you want socialism go and live in Belarus or Cuba.

Yes Fuengirola Saint and the Socialist model you live under in Spain has delivered..... .....20% unemployment. It is the entrepreneurs, the pioneers the innovators and the ambitious that will get us out of this mess; the wealth creators. You have to create the right environement for them to flourish and that means lower taxes.
