    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you have lived in the UK for 20 years, am I correct in thinking you lived in another country prior to that? If so, I find this a bit strange that in an earlier post, you said this about the people of the UK: A powerful and damning statement that. But it does raise a question, If the people...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, read the text; I said, "Mansfield is situated in an area that predominantly relied on mining and the textiles industry for employment. That has all gone now, and with it the heart out of communities that had been employed there for generations." That is a fact, not an assumption. I then...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you knew anything about the area to which Kudos referred in his original post, you would know that Mansfield is situated in an area that predominantly relied on mining and the textiles industry for employment. That has all gone now, and with it the heart out of communities that had been...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You can’t possibly know that & it’s just wild speculation on your part. Speculation fuelled by prejudice.

    They are not stupid. As I’ve said before, they are probably poorly educated and politically unaware. That is a result of where they were born and their family, that does not mean they are stupid. In different circumstances, things may have been very different for these people. Try using the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So what is your solution to stop people from developing countries coming here? How do you plan to deter these people who WANT to come to the U.K.? Do you suggest paying them less than a British citizen? How about No Foreigners signs on rented accommodation? Maybe not letting them access to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I’d forgotten that Maxwell was an MP, representing working people in the working person’s political party, Labour. It makes his crime of stealing working people’s pensions all the more hideous. I hope he was pushed when he fell off that boat.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No my post was completely relevant. The workers to which you refer come here because we are a generous and welcoming nation able to offer a far better standard of living to that which they have in their home country. If it was anything less, they wouldn’t come here.

    Here’s one for OG and Old Tom. Turn up the speakers, embrace Brexit, sing along and let the goodness fill your heart.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You make it sound as though we have people chasing doctors and nurses through foreign streets with an oversized butterfly net, and once captured, putting them in a sack ready to ship to the U.K.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Allowed free passage across the EU thanks to border policies and free movement. EU country head, Merkel allowing thousands of unknowns from identified terrorist hot spots into the EU and then onwards, Article 8 Human Rights Act (right to family life) which we can’t adjust to prevent abuse of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That maybe so, but my post was aimed at Bicycle Man’s loaded deck of cards stunt. Did the pack contain a card showing an Iraqi “Manchild” refugee terrorist who’s passage into the U.K. was eased by EU policies?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don’t know what relevance the card trick has. Could you explain which bit I am supposed to be impressed by? From your account, the question posed was, “which people should we retain in the U.K.?” (I’ve assumed that you made a Typo). The implication being mass deportation of all EU nationals...

    International Women’s Day

    What a load of self indulgent exaggerated tosh, probably inspired by the fact that since the Potter thing ended, she hasn’t been in anything worth the expense of the electricity to view. There are better actors and actresses than her and they get the better jobs, it’s as simple as that. This...

    International Women’s Day

    My original post was to highlight the unnecessary bleating, complaining and moaning by these Women’s Day activists. They are campaigning for equal outcome which is stupid beyond belief. Diane Abbott secured a place at Cambridge. Many men don’t achieve that. So why the whinging? Women’s Day is...

    International Women’s Day

    I saw Mary Beard on TV a couple of days ago. She is an intelligent, well educated woman who has achieved recognition and accolades for her work. No doubt she earns a good wedge of cheese too. So it can be done. Talent always comes through.

    International Women’s Day

    I’m not sure how we made the jump to slavery, perhaps that gives us an indication as to your state of mind. I’m all for equality, fairness for all and equal opportunities across the board. I have worked with women who do the same job as me, some do it better, others not as well. That’s just...
