Surprised him and Lankshear started, but they must have what Ange wants and he's clearly prepared to trust them. Haven't felt this positive about Spurs since Poch days, as a future full of good stuff becomes clear. Joy.

No long ago, EU members would support the UK on matters of sovereignty, but then the Tories did FuxIt and now we have few friends that we can rely on and almost no leverage. But, ofc, someone else is always to blame for their mistakes.

I'll hasten to add: this change isn't necessarily bad news, but finding yourself diplomatically isolated certainly is. No wonder Starmer is trying to make friends in the EU.

Is there a psychological condition where people yearn to be compared with Hitler in some way?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Hello Bylines. I read this article, got to the bit about the unexpected influence of Brexit, and immediately thought of your lovely Davis Downside Dossier. 🙃

In a historic move, the UK gives up sovereignty of a strategic group of islands in the Indian Ocean.

Ah, but that's the point! "You need no union other than the Conservative and Unionist party" "If we kick you in the teeth, it's for your own good!"

That said, I hope Lankshear gets subbed on as much as possible. He must be feeling it, with both Moore and Bergvall getting minutes.

I think he still needs lots of games. I think everyone else also needs games to get used to him, because he's effectively now the long-term tip of the Spurs spear. The more squad members get used to him, the better the team will be.

I know someone who voted leave because "I'm fed up of all those Pakistanis coming over here. They think they own the place." Pointing out that Pakistan is not in the EU made no difference. There's always another stupid argument to fall back on, culminating in "I don't care. I'm voting for stupid."
