If we don't what the benefits of Brexit are, why is anyone bothering with it?

Well, joining the EU had little benefits for ordinary folk. Fishing, manufacturing, influx of cheap labour, strain on the services/nhs/housing etc has screwed the place. That's why people voted out.

Goes against common sense, more like.

Says who? The media? The fact is we don't know what the consequences or benefits of Brexit are yet. Either way, the ordinary Joe wouldn't have come out of it good, anyway.

Most people in work are less well off. 1%, or less, pay rises over many years. Pension contributions have been increased & will produce inferior benefits up the line. Contracted out National Insurance was abolished, leading to increased contributions. With inflation now rampant again, very few are going to do well out of all this, it's easy to see.

What do you expect? Britain is competing with low wage economies in the Far East and following Brexit will need to find new markets for their over priced  goods. It wasnt all Tories that voted for Brexit. Some of the highest votes for it were in staunch Labour areas. Turkeys voting for Christmas comes to mind
People were lied to. I haven't seen the NHS getting £350m a week

People are lied to everyday. But it's only fake news when a result goes against the elitist agenda.

Where could I watch this live online?

Seriously, don't bother.

I've seen more intensity in a game of dominoes.

I think people are too obsessed with this us and them mentality. Belittling Liverpool's 2001 treble or the fact they have won the League in years. Who gives a shite? I follow United so I prefer to see them win. Why does it bother you if Liverpool win trophies?

Wasn't Mertesacker class. That's 93, 98, 02, 03, 05, 14, 15, 17 I've seen. Only blot was that bollocks Owen in 2001.

Since they stole 2005, I think that evens up 2001.

Congratulations!!!



Anyone involved with United referring to it as a treble needs a good slap. 1999 is the benchmark.

Yes, but I doubt it'll ever be done again. Most teams, including United, would consider Liverpool's treble as a fantastic season.

Any season that ends with 3 trophies could be considered fantastic but any real supporter would trade all 3 for a league title at the drop of a hat.

Swop 3 trophies (Europa, FA, League cups) for a League title? As good as a League title is, you're talking 3 cup finals. 3 great days out, 3 great sporting occasions, travelling to other cities, great memories etc. I think I'd prefer that to a League title.

Corbyn might mean well with fairer pay, tax etc, but ultimately it won't be him running Britain. The media, bankers and their cronies do. Corbyn won't be PM because those same people wouldn't be able to screw the country and the lower classes.

Corbyn has benefited from a Tory campaign meltdown. May called the election to increase her mandate and cement her position going into Brexit negotiations. Despite the Tory propaganda in the media, May has made a dogs dinner of this campaign to date. They will still win the election but she has exposed herself to be a very poor leader who is lacking in conviction, and not one you can trust.

Name one politican you can trust.

Scholes isn't what I would describe as a model professional either. I remember him putting a hole in a Swedish players leg in a game at Wembley.

Sounds like an episode of DIY SOS.

Man dedicated his life to Chelsea so was due a big leaving do.

Just like 1000s of other club players have dedicated their lives to a club.  He didn't think much of the club when as Captain he started shagging his team mates wives!  He hasn't a fraction of the honours that Scholes and Giggs have but his all about me antics certainly made him the single biggest w**kstain in the game today.  Good riddance to a shameful racist.

Great stuff.  Never let the facts stand in the way of a good Sun readers rant!

Sorry, Ryan Giggs a moral compass!!!!????  Did he not shag his brother's wife for 8 years?

She must've been red raw.

I don't remember him missing that many games to be fair.

Why us De  Gea not starting? Would you not want your best goalie starting the biggest game of the year?

His best goalie is starting.

What are you on about?

He had it organised with his team mates and the opposition, that the ball would be kicked out of play in the 26th minute (his shirt number) so that he could leave the pitch through a guard of honour from his team. While Sunderland and match officials watched on.

I didn't think he could top his Champions League trophy celebrations in 2012, but he's managed it.
