    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Meanwhile the rest of the civilised world looks on in amazement and they laugh; they laugh at the madness of the people of a once-proud nation that led the world. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This loyalist bullshine is miles . It seems as if the Orange Order is firmly stuck in the 17th century. The rest of the civilised world has moved on and adapted over the centuries but the the political wing of the protestant population cannot understand how stupid their behaviour is viewed by...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The cyber cowards, better known as internet trolls, are continuing their negative disruption of the thread with no intention of producing any detailed upside to 'Brexit'. Their ignorance is their bliss but it won't last long! Tom

    Any objective non-British observer considering the political situation today in the UK would see, not democracy at work, but all the elements of a dictatorship. Tom

    I wish I had your confidence in that OG although I do think it possible……in the EU's time and with a commitment to join the common currency and a full-rate subscription rather than the artisan rate we have been enjoying for years. Tom

    Armando Iannucci had this to say an hour ago and I agree with him. It's time the Speaker or a group of MPs sorted this nonsense: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think some of the 27 remaining EU members might have something to say about that! Were that to happen, it would mean that the UK would be allowed to have all the parts of the EU it wants without paying a subscription - not a chance! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's a good question 'Woosh'! I cannot begin to imagine what that money might be required for, other than as a kind of bribe or safety belt in the vain hope that the UK won't go bankrupt before trade of some description replaces that which is lost through a no-deal 'Brexit'. Is it meant as a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having steadily worked myself up the greasy pole in a former life before sliding down again, I'd prefer now to remain as basic-grade, dog-soldier, ordinary member of this fantastic e-biking forum so can I change this unwelcome appellation or, if not, can someone in admin do it for me? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As it's the Christmas season, once again this has popped up on my FB a/c and I'd like to share the sentiment with those decent people today who would not have turned away Mary & Joseph, had they been in Bethlehem 2018 years ago. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    After Theresa May gave an extraordinarily evasive and unacceptable answer on when she's going to hold the meaningful Brexit vote that she sidelined parliament by postponing last week (because she knew she was going to lose it) Jeremy Corbyn has tabled a parliamentary no confidence vote in her as...

    Most forums would have simply switched off identified trolls long ago. These aggravating creatures are perverts who get their rocks off by constantly winding up regular forum contributors. They see themselves as keyboard warriors but in reality, they are cyber cowards. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're back again with even more drivel! Have you never been advised that it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and prove it? I note that once again you have contributed zilch to the great question of what might 'Brexit do for the British people…..or the...
