You want some good news? Around £1m of Tottenham’s money for Victor Wanyama will find its way to Celtic, which will offset some of the economic impact of this morning’s news. This aside, there is only bad news. If we want to buy footballers priced in euros (or anything other than GPB) they will cost more money. We will also have to pay higher wages to be competitive with European clubs.
Goods will cost more – it will start today with fuel and travel, then food, electrical goods and everything else. Wages will buy less (not just less-able footballers). Borrowing repayments will be higher. Business expenditure, wages and employment will drop, so will the tax take – and money available for welfare spend. The poor always pay the highest penalty.
If you are rich enough and without a mortgage you can indulge in flag waving all day, happy in a delusion that self-determination even remotely exists in modern economies. Or that more self-determination over here, and a little less over there, is a panacea. It’s not, it’s just another economic crisis coming your way soon.
The entire political class have failed us. Calling a flag waving referendum was a grubby attempt to hold onto power by the prime minister; this mess is his making. Whoever succeeds him will have to successfully pander to the same party membership in order to get elected.
Jeremy Corbyn’s mealie-mouthed campaigning was an embarrassment. His “7 out of 10” backing for remain did what it was supposed to do: convince people he was going through the motions for something he didn’t believe in.
Who’s ever heard of a leader winning support for an issue he is prepared to back 7 out of 10 himself? He should go, but political ego will ensure he’ll hang around to make sure Johnson wins the next general election.
It took six days for the Greek government to abandon their own disastrous EU referendum mandate. Instead of attempting a rescue, all our political ‘leaders’ will give us is more populist power grabs. It’s already underway.

As far as I know those born and resident in Norn Iron have been able to apply for an Irish passport since the implementation of the Good Friday agreement.

The hyphen debate.
Are you kidding ?
How is it possible to interpret ” socialist murdering fascists ” as meaning that Galtieri`s mob were socialists
………………….hyphen or no hyphen ?
I blame the schools.
MARADOMINIC @ 9:53 AM,
Interesting…
My pal was in the Royal Marines at the time.
Said they were playing a Football match, down comes a helicopter pitch-side, more than half a dozen names were called.
Some players from both sides legged it in their Football kit onto the Copter.
Although he hadn’t known it till then, they were all SBS.
Five-a-side anyone!?

“You are of course quite right that fascists can be ” socialists.”
Nationalsozialismus ………National Socialism…….. Nazi”
Banal point.

Judge the party by what they say and do and then tell me that Hitler and Galtieri were socialists.
The worst , most murderous fascist of them all was Stalin.
A socialist and communist.
Agreed ?
See the tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive.
Lot of Ingerlanders about to find out that they were led up the garden path and that the Green and Pleasant Land will still be inundated by Bloody Foreigners.
How’s the market doing?

Messy. RBS and Barclays shares were suspended earlier, due ot dramatic falls. Pound at 30yr low vs $.
Housebuilders still in freefall, as is Easyjet, whose entire model is botched by Brexit.
Just wait til the banks start talking freely about jobs being shifted.
Carnage.
Sorry to drag on with the politics but my memory needs jogging.
I believe we entered the Common Market in 1973 and voted to remain in a 1975 referendum . Was out 1973 entry a matter of policy rather than via a referendum?

PS Has ` referendum` overtaken `the` as the most used word in English? 0:-)

RBS is back trading. Now down 16% on the day. Lost close to 1/3 of it’s value since Thursday, which if the story I read earlier is right means that UK taxpayers have now lost more than 1 years payment to the EU.
Club v Country battle over Ambrose, if we are looking at the possibility of starting the season with this clown then I really do give up, there will be no CL let alone Europa league.

If my memory serves me correctly
The 1973 tory govt policy was to gain entry into EEC – no referendum
The Lab govt of 1974 pledged a referendum on our continued entry
So you could say the over 60s were correcting their earlier mistake.
Weeminger,
As usual the Banks are already ahead of the game…

….:last I looked 8kilos of jellied eels would buy you a croissant
While the pound is currently worth half a dollar. Half a Zimbabwean dollar.
Don’t talk to Brits on holiday as a rule. And prefer to keep myself to myself. But an English bloke in the bar told me last night he’d voted out, now regretted it but at least he was getting his country back. And that with no more euro trade they could forward to re opening steel plants and cotton works!
What can you say to that ffs??
‘I couldn’t disagree with you more…..’ and with that double negative I went bed.
What a plum.

Revoking the “passport” that allows financial services firms to trade freely throughout the EU is a worry. I imagine the Germans and French see this as the ideal opportunity to take some of the UK’s financial services business. And big organisations use this kind of turmoil to justify job cuts/moves etc. Some of the statements coming out from the Brexiteers that the impact has been minimal and just “market correction” is disingenuous in the extreme. Real impact will be medium to long term…
What has happened to things Celtic? Or, has this site now become a journal for politicos? Also perhaps we should be giving a thought and a prayer (if we have faith) for those injured in Strathclyde Park leaving the politics aside for a while..
The three Icelandic players I like best are; the striker Gaunyerselsson, the keeper Somestopthatsson, and the centre half Getstuckinsson ;)

Not a class warrior are you Paul?
The UK is better off out of the monoculture of a socialist styled Eurozone, which is increasingly insidious and invasive in its encroachments on the Sovereignty ot the UK.
