once we get rid of the lies there is still the racism, xenophobia, and fact that brexit doesn't work as a business model (the devaluation being the market's opinion on it's viability). I have never been in favour of brexit - mainly because of the racism fuelling it. the fact that it is...

here's to hoping irony will work on a brexit voter.

no, but at the risk if repeating what has been said, the MP's positions wont be clear (i.e. pro or anti hard brexit in the populist Theresa doing anything to make her own position safe sense). parliament and the lords will have a very long series of debates from which a much more nuanced brexit...

one definition of racism is that it is a form of prejudice in which one uses stereotype - ones own caricature of others, or rather of how one would want others to see them - to justify discriminating against them or belittling them. To me your post about old Tom is full of all that. None of us...

yes that's him putting down the paving for that quick dart back to the remain side once it becomes clear brexit has failed. No doubt this comment will become the basis for saying he was on the remain side all along.

you must have spent the past twenty years in a different united kingdom than I. practically every single major political decision has been contrary to the democratic mandate, right through form the war in Iraq, the outcome of every public inquiry and every broken electoral manifesto promise. The...

I don't think so, asset strippers and hedge funds may like it if we leave, but very substantial vested interests, such as pension funds, will take a fatal hit, and I don't think the establishment will allow that to happen.

You do take an unusually keen intetest in ms sturgeons stature. I imagine its from many long evenings staring at the tv with a febrile cocktail of lust and self loathing,not knowing whether she will appear or not. Look its ok to be infatuated,there is no point trying to resist true love. Go with it.

perhaps someone should remind them that race is an invalid hypothetical construct, genetically we are all "mixed race", and the iron age Picts, our most certain ancestors, were certainly not white..

but I fear there is a perverse grain of truth in it - with the present further cut in disability benefits. one entirely plausible future scenario is an England with a farage/trump type prime minister dismantling the NHS much the way Trump will ( I have a morbid hunch he will win) do to Obama's...

probably more like pakistan http://www.dailyo.in/politics/britain-pakistan-brexit-theresa-may-white-mughals-muslims-taliban-china/story/1/13759.html er, before anyone flames me, I don't seriously subscribe to the article..

so, on a bit of a tangent, what to make of carney resisting may and Hammond's pleas to stay http://news.sky.com/story/mark-carneys-compromise-shows-the-power-held-by-the-governor-10640143 ? one big fat thing that occurs to me is the basis of carney's fame...

agree, I used to be 90kg and had a run of the mill SWX02 that with usual 18A 36V (around 600W) relatively effortlessly with minimal input lugged me, 10kg saddlebag and 25kg bike up very steep hills (steepest I could find) at around 8 to 10 mph.

there, as a complete aside, is a blast form the past, I have fond memories of the street markets (and rather astonishing Portuguese coffee), carrying thick disintegrating wads (and paying for a meal of ginormous king prawns with a several hundred) meticals in Maputo. and having an old Russian...

and that is still true. remainers publicly are shamed into silence mostly, the boring but intimidating refrain of put up and shut up from brexiters. only the entirely brazen like Teflon tony says the "unspeakable" (lets have another referendum now its clear it was a colossal mistake). I don't...

agree, I think the die hard right wing types who voted brexit wont shift from denial and anger into depression and bargaining even with a hard brexit. Now with Nissan deal a more awful reality emerges IMHO, a semi soft brexit that doesn't really work, economically or in any other sense, but...

well one has to hand it to him, he is speaking the unspeakable, saying out loud what at least 14 million voters feel, strongly http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3882302/Voters-change-mind-Tony-Blair-lays-plans-hold-second-EU-referendum-reverse-Brexit-catastrophe.html

in a sense, my OH is oddly in cornwall at the moment, call me overindulged, though, but I still prefer the hallucinogenic white beaches of Antigua to Margate in the European winter..

that is a very curious article. I like ken loach. but perhaps I haven't quite adopted his paradigm in the starry eyed way danny dorling (who wrote the article) have. he is wrong - house prices are not based on politics and whether landlords or tenants "have the upper hand". Politicians are...
