What defeat?

I don't see one.

Remainers have been proven right on everything pretty much so far.

You need to drop your issue with the POW - it is cutting into you brother.

Real life might be great, but it will be even better when the Brexiters are cancered out.

I've personally seen many oligarchs' yachts off of the coast of many Carribean Islands etc.. and it will have to be something to look better than The Grand Bleu IMO. Photographs don't do it justice. I've seen many in the flesh, including Paul Allen's, and nothing comes close.

You obviously haven't been following MOD funding for the last decade. Funds are much needed elsewhere. No point having a fancy reception ship if you can't put aircraft on aircraft carriers, afford to run your destroyers other than being kept harboured up on the South Coast etc.. etc..

The modern world isn't interested in such pomp and many would probably find it vulgar.

"A UK business-promoting "national yacht", reportedly costing up to £200m, is to be paid for by the Ministry of Defence, Downing Street has said."


ROFLMAO!

Out of the MOD budget?

WHAT A COMPLETE AND UTTER FARCE!

"Min, there are many who came from council estates who end up at decent universities, and don’t blabber on about their past."

I'm not the one "blabbing" on about the Polytechnic of Wales. It is Pierre and others that constantly keep reminding us all about where I went. As if it is an 'issue'?????

"You presume so much about my privileged past so that you have something to blame, or justify your failure in that respect."

Me a failure? I don't think so. Council house estate to two top R&D labs to founding an engineering company that listed to self-made multi-millionaire. Some failure that.

I think the issues here are with the Brexiters and their failures of not being able to see or get what they want out of membership and mutual respect with the other countries in Europe. What they failed to do in the EU will just be carbon-copied with the ROW IMO. The only difference is the architects and main sponsors of Brexit will be able to push the UK around like a piece of bread for their own ends.

Well done, pat yourself on the back for supposedly being a clever person. You know, studying engineering at Oxford doesn't make you wise and you're a perfect example of this.

You didn't complete 'YOUR GAME' brother. ;)

Tbf I think the England squad have come in for a lot of unfair stick. Uts obvious to serious students of the game that England were playing for the draw to give our Scots cousins the best chance of qualifying without thwarting our own ambitions of the tournament.

Min, there are many who came from council estates who end up at decent universities, and don’t blabber on about their past. You presume so much about my privileged past so that you have something to blame, or justify your failure in that respect.

But the fact remains, you were an academic failure and appear not to have been able to easily deal with it.

On the further issue of red bricks, one of my fellow engineers is a professor in aeronautical engineering at a top 20 university. He was a top scholar at Oxford and also a communist, although I did largely change that in him. But I could never take the council estate out of him and nor did I want to. He would wash his clothes in the sink as he was not willing to put 10p in the college laundry machines. He laughs at the standard of his students relative to his class at Oxford. And also laments their relatively poor attitude to hard work.
