And the legal challenge to May's £1bn bribe to the DUP was unsuccessful. Didn't see any condemnation of the judge that time. The malfeasance and incompetence in public office is so blatant, but seems insuperable.

Having just watched the U17 World Cup. Good to see that Brexit can at least be the first to take the credit for our lads winning it - convincingly!
OG said he,d show his danglies in co op window when, if England won world cup. He will deny it but its true..
I think this counts. Tom can sell tickets to raise money for loony lefts.
And Utd beat the Harry Kane team. Great day . Always sunny in Moraira.

here's hoping this post is due to alcohol and not manic denial, if the latter your weekend is in for a turn for the worse..

Perhaps the judge was correct. .. I have a few comments and questions.
Has any of this money made its way to NI ?
Has there been a vote in your parliament allocating this money?
On what grounds has this money been offered?... There have been contradictions on this thread about it.

Judges would, rightly have great difficulty in questioning parliament and certainly parliament's right to allocate funds. That is where the separation of powers comes into play.

It is not normally possible to have a review of a decision not yet made... Judges are comfortable in checking whether the civil services of the state have acted unlawfully in decisions where there is legislation , but not on cases where there is proposed actions.

Nothing so sad, or sinister come to that. Enjoyed the game and looking forward to great relaxing weekend. Might even have a beer or two and a small whisky as a nightcap to keep the cold out. I take it that you will continue to exercise yourself about Brexit?

When that money will be spent to the betterment of the NI population and certainly not find its way into anyones pocket, it would be hard to for any Judge to find fault?

I'm working, being on the forum is work avoidance, surprisingly, so no beer.

That maybe true, give us a clue, just what do you mean by that?
you don't think about the decision. its all a blend of far fetched assumptions (and some trolling on zlatan's part). no offence, but that is very typical of what brexitters come up with when challenged with facts (metaphors about sailing, patriotic flights of fancy, personal attack). I imagine the bulk of brexit support comes from the football fraternity. perhaps the electorate should only be allowed to make decisions about the next FA cup.

And you accuse me of small minded jingoistic comment.

As with OG, this doesn't make sense to me since there's no Brexit connection.

In my earlier congratulatory thread in here on June 11th about one of our youth teams when they won the World Cup, I saw and made no Brexit connection since our Under 19 youth teams are the overall World Champions, having won ten times since 1948 and still the champions (1948, 1963, 1964, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1980, 1993, 2017).

Clearly their successes have nothing to do with EU membership.

There are many other comments on here that have no direct link or connection. However, you lot, really are so exercised over Brexit that you come across as a truly miserable lot, and having watched the football it didn't escape me that I was anything but miserable... perhaps there is a connection after all? Now, it may well be that you have researched this, far more than I could ever do. Perhaps it is that which makes you an expert on all things, including Brexit and able to rattle off the past glories of the U20 Team (I think it was). I'm far more shallow with just a hint of the Latino in me and the other thing that didn't escape me was that the U17 were down and out at halftime according to the 'experts' yet they won 5-2. Watch this space.

As I never made such a remark,I expect you to go back through the thread and post the evidence to support that remark.

I have zero interest in Football or in fact sport of any sort so the probability of me ever making remarks about football are Zero.

Where in your imaginary world did you conjure that up from?

Rest assured that I know nothing about football and care even less.

Except for this little problem
"Parliament will need to approve the release of £1bn in funding for Northern Ireland promised to the Democratic Unionist party by Theresa May to secure its support after the general election, the government has conceded."

She made the arrangement and exceeded her authority.
