We hear so much these days about whether a particular area voted LEAVE or REMAIN that I thought it might be interesting to examine how this worked out in the English Premiership League.

Meanwhile, as of yesterday, there are now (once again) four octogenarian Labour MPs, due to the autooctogenarianification of Ann Clwyd
Relegation candidates looking ready to LEAVE the top flight .....

"Number of people drowned falling into pools" correlates to "Films Nicholas Cage has appeared in"
"Per Capital Cheese Consulmption" correlates to "Number of people who died after becoming tangled in their bedsheets"
"Information from the raid shows al Qaeda's successful development of compact, battery bombs that fit inside laptops or other devices believed to be strong enough to bring down an aircraft, the sources said. The battery bombs would need to be manually triggered, a source explained, which is why the electronics ban is only for the aircraft cabin not checked luggage.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security publicly cited two attacks on flights in the last two years, the downing of a Russian jet over the Egyptian Sinai in October 2015 and an attempt that nearly succeeded in bringing down a jet that had taken off from Mogadishu, Somalia last year and made an emergency landing after an explosion ripped open its cabin. The insurgent group Al-Shababb claimed credit for getting a laptop onboard the flight that had been rigged as a bomb.

"When this story came out it was Trump being absurd against Muslims again."
Fortunately, the full story came out before the frothers organised demonstrations and petitions against this islamophobia. But I'm sure it will be extended to all countries soon enough.
The idea that football clubs their location is curious.
I thought that was racist ?

There was actually relatively little of that. E.g. read yesterday morning's thread.
What many economists seem to have missed about Brexit is not only the resilience of the UK economy, but also that the vote would not derail Europe generally.
Plato's link to the Daily Beast makes a similar point about American airlines being hammered by the Gulf carriers.
The three major U.S. international carriers, Delta, American and United, have found themselves left with fleets of older airplanes that can’t match the quality of cabin amenities of the Gulf airlines

Here is USA Today on Trump supporting US airlines in a dispute with the Gulf airlines.
a meeting Trump scheduled [last month] with Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian and United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz. Those legacy carriers and American Airlines have asked the administration to block additional flights from state-owned Emirates, Etihad and Qatar airlines because they received an alleged $50 billion in subsidies during the last decade, which the carriers deny.

"big Premiership clubs are in the big regional centres which are generally more prosperous"
Just a few days until F1 returns. Huzzah!
Also possible Leeds, which was extremely close in terms of Leave/Remain, might get promoted (although I wouldn't put money on it).
Edited extra bit: speaking of sport, this would not go down well:

One Liverpool site had one running where it's UK based supporters were Leave, but it's foreign contingent were Remain.
Support for Remain was mainly from places like QPR and Reading as well the teams that attract the glory hunter arrival sort - Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal.... etc.
On topic, boing boing - currently top of the leavers.
An interesting graph that proves nothing I'm afraid
I was an 'on balance, Leave'. 9 months on, I'm 'on balance, Remain'. I wrote here before EUref, that I saw the biggest risks around the UK's ability to execute Brexit. I've seen nothing since that reassures me that we will actually do it well.
Trump's election made me wobble as I think he's likely to heighten the existing trends towards protectionism.The A50 paper was a huge disappointment, and was probably the thing that finally persuaded me that I'd made a mistake. Of course, I understand the reasoning behind May's negotiating position. At this point, it's a case of hoping for the best, while expecting the distinctly mediocre.
Exactly, most West Ham supporters actually live in Essex now which is full of Leave voters
..........and after the ten plagues and relegation Brexiteers will be parked in a hot and particularly unpleasant corner of Hartlipool for the rest of eternity

They've missed out the most interesting recommendation

Selhurst Park is completely and quite comfortably within the borough of Croydon:

And Croydon voted 54.3% REMAIN - the numbers given are those for Southwark.
We are top of the LEAVERS

We've had a LOB-OT-O-MY!

Old Trafford is in Stretford, which has been Labour for over 30 years
*And the cute hoors of NI of course.
40 mins from Wolverhampton to Birmingham International on the West Coast Main Line. Then a 2 minute journey on the low tech but effective free cable "train" from the station to the airport. Highly recommended.
Is this news? More to the point, will it change anything?
The voters will have to lump it for the greater good.
Then again, with the polling as it is, I suspect we'll hear rumours of elections at all next possible opportunities.

Edited added bit
Forgot about driving to work when I worked in Ireland listening to the lamb prices on the radio and thinking WTF??????
I think prior to the 2010 GE only Fulham and Chelsea had a Tory MP.
