    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Timing alone makes it look as if they have no evidence. Just long enough before 5th May for people to hear about the claims. Not long enough for things like an inquiry or any legal action. Indeed, as it is a resurrection of previous allegations, we have to ask why they have previously backed off...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Like so many of the tory problems, it was very largely the way they handled it. Rather, failed to handle it. I can easily understand a mistake. In that situation, I think I'd have switched app, gone back, or whatever. And been very careful not to go there again. It was then followed by pompous...

    Difficult to be sure whether it was primarily excess speed or insecure loading. Or faulty/inadequate lorry.

    You have pointed it out. OK - the next Putin. Even if a more reasonable person, would still not want second place. At some point, one or other of the countries will see the other as taking away from their country.

    That seems incredibly far-fetched. Could you see Putin willing becoming second fiddle to Xi Jinping - or the other way round? Even if they started negotiating a merger, the mindsets of the hierarchies would not accept an outcome which demoted some of them.

    On the other hand, what did NATO and the west do when Russia waged war in Georgia, Chechnya and Syria? Russia was pretty much untroubled.

    Yes. Two AstraZeneca vaccines - no significant issues. Mid-November Pfizer as booster - no significant issues at the time. Early December - had some odd discomfort in my neck. Not bad enough to call pain. I went to GP to get examined in case it was related to my thyroid - as I take...

    I've certainly read a number of articles which have clearly discussed whether some images and videos are exactly as presented - or not. I suspect that were there loads of faked missile-has-landed shots, they would have been called out many times over.

    I did try them, but not for any reason other than someone was handing them out! I did feel very well for at least a couple of weeks after. Unfortunately, Parkinsons and encephalitis lethargica respond for a while, then seem to continue with their progression.

    And this answer is suitably stupidly worded. The very concept of levelling up coasts...? Most of them level up twice a day. Then level down. The wise old king knew this. Johnson is a very ignorant **. Sally-Ann Hart (Con) asks about coastal communities. Will the government have a targeted...
