Yeah, let's hope he's retained his enthusiasm and can get the players to believe in themselves. Also out there is 200-1 for a top two finish and 100-1 for promotion.

I think Warnock will be fine personally.
Although I'll leave the top two positions alone I think. :biggrin:

Personally I don't think Nissan are making excuses. If we end up with tariffs, no major manufacturer in their right mind would make cars here for export to the EU
Really?
Even with the tariffs added, the fall in the sterling means its still cheaper. Therefore it makes more sense to build them here. Comprende?

Re: Pound pounded down, again
I don't think anyone said short term it would be easy.
Disputes between suppliers happens regardless.
Businesses want to squeeze every penny out of the normal man and women.
Free trade has decimated some businesses here (obviously bringing a lot of benefits as well). Maybe an end to it will bring about chances for more job and business creation UK based.
For every steel works that is destroyed because of chinese dumping, there are companies that use the cheap steel.

Brexit saved port talbot. If it wasnt for the pound falling, that would have closed by now. Instead its making profit again.

Depends how you define prosperous. I know a few people who I would consider prosperous who voted for Brexit. Many of the older generation.

not gonna bother with the rest of your post because it's not relevant to what I wrote
Incidentally, your leader has been chucking her toys out on facebook recently, I suppose it's what happens when you ignore your voters and try to impose your own point of view.

my leader? I'm not a part of any political party. I have my preferences though of course.
If you're talking about Leanne Wood, then she has every right to be annoyed. Plaid Cymru voters were the ones with the strongest remain vote (using BES data). Don't let facts get in the way of your agenda though.

Look it up, the regions that voted brexit are poorer. The wealthier areas voted remain.
The stats dont go into individual wealth, but the areas prosperity. Even with all this euro money spent on gentrification, it still didnt help their prosperity. So a leave vote was always going to happen for the poorer areas.

Re: Pound pounded down, again
Over 45s, and especially over 65s, voted out, and under 45s, particularly those aged 18-24, voted to stay. That was the most easily identifiable and important split of all.

Which would suggest Nelson or HeathBlue as he used to be known isn't too far wrong.

That was poll data. There is no certain way to know how people of certain age ranges voted. The age range data is taken from a poll, so although likely representative, polls on such subjects have proven flawed. Young people are less likely to admit to voting tory for example, and the same is seen as being the case for a vote leave. So the % of under 45s that voted could well be quite a bit higher.

I,m very rarely wrong:thumbup:
I,m was a non voter who just happens to believe that the vote should now be carried, not really sure why but I have enjoyed watching the remain camp crying I find it entertaining and they can stick their marmite where the sun dun shine.

Yes, you are correct. I was taking those findings from poll data. I should have qualified my remarks to reflect your comments.

Same logic applies to everyone who was up in arms when the Tories won the last election.
The problem as I see it is threefold:
1. It was a very close vote so either way, half the country is going to be disappointed in a result that can and will have a very real impact on their lives
2. There was so much mis-information, and a general lack of comprehension among the population about the impacts that, imho, the vast majority of the country (both sides) didn't really understand what they were voting for.
3. The largest group of brexiters, are the ones least likely to be affected by the long-term impact.

I didn't vote, but I explained to a lot people in simple language what both sides were up to. I reckon about 50 people switched from remain to brexit afterwards.
