Racing, Rugby, Cricket...... But they seize on the boat race..... 🤔

I've seen bits of it, If there's been a telly on and I happen to have been there.. about 5 minutes & that's the piqued interest gone! Son went to Oxford, There's Varsity for most Sports! Watched 3 of his games. Remember when Varsity Rugby used to be televised, Don't remember a fuss when it stopped!

It's driven by the same people who call to defund the BBC, leave this, leave that....... Nothing as sure!

Probably because it's been on TV & easily accessible......

If it was University of Leeds Vs Manchester who'd watch it then 🤔 Would BBC pay for the rights 🤔

Boat Race coverage is down to English obsessions...... and seats of learning is right up there on that list!

Hands up..... who's watched it more than once 🤔

Robert Jenrick will follow anything, believe in anything..... just as long as it's got a chance of advancement for Robert Jenrick...

He's a bit of a Cunt! 😉

We'd happily toss NI / Scot / Wal under a bus..... Falklands... Gib.... BAH! Channel Islands didn't stand a chance of being important!

Never affected the masses...... 🙄 there is NO UNITED KINGDOM..... we're just not engaged as a group!

If he'd said pies peas chips n gravy at the Crusty Cobbler on Botch he'd have scored a LOT of points! #MasterChefUK #CarlisleLad

absolutely! Empire & Commonwealth & they are surprised when people come to the UK......

It's often been given as the reason for the British preoccupation with refugees...... lack of shared experience!

Unfortunately Britain had easier to exploit fault lines 😉 We're still too hung up on Empire & self belief 🙄

for sure! If there's not a compelling reason for staying then what's the point......

I think I've got Acronym Overload Crisis Syndrome 😉

No, Was talking about Iceland possibly moving in to EU 😉

It was always going to end up like that......

Just look at our favourite subject..... Calving UK off the EU as a means to weaken & destabilise the EU...
The thing with fault lines is finding the one you can prize apart.....

Either racial, Cultural, financial or a complete lack of understanding on how the world works.....
Nothing more dangerous than ignorance!

As an option EFTA/EEA were never going to be as good as being an MS.... But a far better option than being a total outsider or following the WTO NOW lunatics 🙄
There were so many different reasons people stated for wanting to leave the EU - but at the end of the day they all boiled down to ignorance

do and it's accepted that may well be the trigger for Norway too 🤔
Interesting times!

Interesting that Iceland has stated it's Arctic nature as a consideration..... and that 25%+ of economy is fishing (Can't recheck specific quote as not loading!) - If Iceland ask to join but ask for an opt out on fishing I look forward to the reactions of some of our regular correspondents 😉 If they

All they way...... there's no awareness there!

turns out riding high on a ticket to #GTTO isn't a policy to build a Government on....... #WhoKnew

but are also best practise for our long term national future!

If they're scared of doing & even saying, the right thing then there's no point them even being there!

statements to certain points are vetted for language by the spin doctors & SPADs before they're made 🤔
"lets not be too pro-EU in the press - we'll be accused of Brexit betrayal" winning out over a full throated case for alignment & acceptance of conditions that all can see aren't just in our favour

Really disappointing language from Chris Bryant. Even politicians like him & Creasy, who are usually on the right side of the Pro-EU argument seem to slip in to confrontational tones rather than their usual position when a microphone is put in front of them 🙄
Makes me wonder whether comments &
