Wayne Rooney’s downturn in form blamed on Brexit....

Benched England captain and Man Utd forward Wayne Rooney has told reporters his downturn in form is due to the effects of Brexit.

Rooney, who thinks he’s either 30 or 31, says things haven’t been the same on the pitch since the UK decided to sever its ties with the economic and political union which was originally based on the Maastricht Treaty, and had the aim of the eventual establishment of common economic, foreign, security, and justice policies.

“And Theresa May keeps sayin’ that Brexit means Brexit, and to be honest with you, I always thought Steve Bruce was a fantastic manager. He’ll do well at Villa,” Rooney told reporters.

After the vote in June and England’s disastrous Euros campaign, Rooney was said to be devastated when he found out Iceland had their EU application rejected.

“I know it’s cold up that way, but I was told their application got frozen. Like in the post or somethin’.”

Things haven’t been going well for Rooney on the pitch since the referendum result was announced, managing just 2 dribbles a game, and a further 5 from his mouth.

He’s been benched for both club and country, but that extra thinking time has meant the divisions exposed by Brexit have played on his mind even more.

“Politics was never my thing really, and I never wanted it in football, but Jamie Vardy’s been texting me every week since telling me he’s glad the beuru… beaura…- beauro….red tape’s gone.”

Rooney has also been making headlines in recent weeks with his stance on the refugee crisis, after suggesting we should be taking Syrians in, but only if they pass a medical and are on a free transfer.

“It’s somethin’ really for the gaffer, but if we take eleven of them at a time, who knows how many World Cups we could have by 2050.

“Maybe like 10. You don’t want the French getting’ any of that.”

Mate, you're wasting your time, you have enough evidence to realise that both pete and joey reject the classic-liberal tenet of reasoned open debate. It's about faith and self-sacrifice to a National cause. To be fair, it's occurring on both sides, but this is the primary reason for the rise of irrational popularity-seeking characters like Trump.
I believe it's akin to what Spengler called 'Caesarism'.

I think you are doing both yourself and myself a disservice with the above.....
 
Hahahahahaha........ah go on teach me.....do you still believe that Esk was saying that the EU can veto our membership of the WTO.....

??? I'm not entirely sure what this reference means but for the record my argument has always been and will continue to be that whatever our relationship with the WTO is in the future and particularly our terms of trade within the WTO will be influenced by and will have to be agreed by the EU.

The idea that the EU will roll over especially on tariff quotas is laughable as is the idea that agreements will be settled quickly and amicably.

It was nothing to do with you Esk. While you and I were expressing our opinions and views, Pienaar's Gloves decided to jump in and said something to the effect of 'He's right, the EU can veto the UK's membership of the WTO'.......
 
I'd like to see this.

Here you go, your Post 10254, point number 2......The EU is a WTO member and has to agree to let us in....

1. It doesn't matter who writes it, a fact is a fact. I know that trying to create new interpretations of information has been a big part of the Leave campaign but it doesn't make for a good argument.

2. Of course it is correct. The EU is a WTO member and has to agree to let us in. It could make life difficult.

Yes of course it does, but nowhere have I mentioned the EU using this power by to veto entry.

You know they would push for harsh terms, I know they would.

And as for an apology, people like yourself trying to make the debate personal are the ones who made it nasty.

I'm sorry, if I make a mistake and we all do btw, I would just apologise.....if however you wish to deny what is in black and white and want to just dig a hole then be my guest.......Nothing personal, and certainly not nasty.....
