Oh I beg to differ.
I'm not talking about the County Combination if that's what you think mate. I'm talking about the I Zingari Combination which was for reserve teams and "old boys".

The I Zingari league itself was a decent standard. But I would say the County Comp was the better of the two as it had teams like the Dock, St Doms, and Uniasco who were always very strong. My team played in both leagues but I'd finished playing by the time we got to the County Comp.
 
Now ask yourself: why might someone who will earn millions by trashing the environment more than the EU-permitted maximum find it in his interests for Britain to leave the EU?
But if Britain ever get around to leaving the EU it will adopt EU laws. Any changes to the law on environmental matters will have to be passed through parliament. Do you really think that parliament will pass a law to reduce environmental standards because some rich lick is threatening to close a chemical plant?

BBC has given more attention to the non-existent corruption of a petition than they have the well-documented corruption of the actual referendum.

Are bots gaming the 'Cancel Brexit' petition? (link: https://bbc.in/2JzLOOf) bbc.in/2JzLOOf
I actually think it's quite funny that a remain supporter is complaining about the lack of impartiality of the BBC when the article he's complaining about is so clearly in favour of remain. You couldn't make it up.

Who is this guy anyway? It's not a name I recognise. Is he a journalist?

There's already been a leak of a subtle change to the wording for the/some of the environmental transfer, weakening repercussions to those that transgress regulation.

The guy is the one flagging the substance of his point, doesn't really matter who he is, it's the content.

Why do you find the need to label people as 'remainer' when you have no idea? It's rather decisive and antagonistic.
 
Don’t be asking awkward questions, Dave :)

If Brexit is about owt it is about sticking one’s head in t’ sand.
Nothing awkward about it the border stays open - as it is now with different currency, different Vat rates , and different taxes ..... the EU blew this up thats why a free trade deal should have been high up in negotiations......
Only the EU sized upon this to spoil any Trade deal - other non EU countries have borders .......Switzerland have many no EU country.....
we don't want a hard border nor does the whole of Ireland only the EU banged on about this..... as they knew it could stop Brexit......

Outrageous if true. Again, I'll wait until it's out there in the public domain. I don't agree with any lessening of the environmental laws. In fact quite the opposite. I still can't see that change, no matter how subtle, getting through parliament.
 
INEOS threatens to close UK plant unless it can dodge EU pollution rules


The chemicals giant said thousands of jobs could be lost unless it is exempt from EU clean air and water regulations, documents reveal.



INEOS, the petrochemicals giant owned by the UK’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has said it could close its Middlesbrough manufacturing plant unless it is allowed to ‘defer compliance’ with EU rules designed to prevent air and water pollution, according to documents obtained by Unearthed.
An analysis of data from the Environment Agency (EA) also reveals the plant clocked up 176 permit violations between 2014 and 2017, 90 of which related to air and water emissions. An EA spokesperson said: “air emissions are well over legal limits and this poses a risk to the environment”.

Just wait until he comes out with the rest of the demands. He also wants it to be mandatory to smoke while babies are in a car and that drowning puppies should be legalised.

I mean really haven't we got secret agents to 'deal' with problems like him?? :oops:

Just wondered who he is. I've never heard of him
Why do you find the need to label people as 'remainer' when you have no idea? It's rather decisive and antagonistic.
A remainer is somebody who voted to remain. A leaver is somebody who voted to leave. How else am I to refer to somebody who supports remain? I haven't got a clue how you can find it antagonistic. Decisive maybe. How would you prefer me to refer to you.?
As regards, how can I be so sure this person is "somebody whose preference would be to remain in the EU". That's like me asking you how you can be so sure that somebody who says 52%, we won, get over it, is a leaver.
