Teasy Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I’ve said a few times, don’t underestimate the role the government have played in this, Hope has got that right. On top of it I hate Tory governments, especially this one Ironically had Labour been in power the deal would likely be dead and massive potential investment in our area along with it.

Cronky Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It's impossible to believe that the Saudis have acted against piracy at this point, without it being prompted by the PL. Looks like it's going ahead. Finally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The year is 2070, an ageing Alex Bruce hobbles out the tunnel and takes his place on the sideline, long after he was brought in on an interim basis to take the reigns from his increasingly frail dad. In between checking the line-up in the match thread, the denizens of N-O visit the 135th iteration of the Takeover thread to explain how they have a really good feeling about it going through next week. The bottle of Tesco Merlot one poster's Grandad bought to go with his #cans is now a rare vintage and worth £32,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of it I hate Tory governments, especially this one Ironically had Labour been in power the deal would likely be dead and massive potential investment in our area along with it. Labour would do exactly the same. In fact Blair's government discontinued a criminal investigation into BAE Systems' slush fund for bribing Saudi officials on grounds that it was not in the public interest, and was later found to have acted unlawfully.

I'd agree under Blair, but not Corbyn, Blair was far more pragmatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
