Surely, the point is that we have collectively voted to leave and that needs to be delivered by a Government that has drawn the short straw? Only the one Party was pro-Brexit and at one point it had well over 4M votes as I recall - that would have meant rather more of them in the HOC than might...

Ha, so that makes them conservatives then?

Whilst I certainly don't agree with the self-judgement that the OG makes complete sense I totally agree that human nature is always in play and to even attempt to pass that by, as a political leader, without a second glance is stupid. I, for one, like to think that I am far more balanced than...

Most comedians appear to be left of centre which perhaps explains why we find them funny. There's a lot on here.

Not that I am a Tory or at least not in the sense that I have joined or paid anything to any political party, have you I wonder? Such comments are total nonsense and simply you throwing mud, sticks and stones or whatever. I appreciate / notice you used the word conservative, rather than Tory...

Indeed and I willingly accept that argument. That was the primary reason for British India taking over Burma and perhaps why Kipling wrote what he did at the time. Few things are as black and white as we read on here, everyone has their point of view. Informed by whatever, not a lot in some...

Bitter and twisted, but true.

Which is the more important - genocide or a quote from Kipling?

Totally OTT as usual.

I think that is just an example of left and right hands at work, as it should be. To imply that you stop trading with someone just because you are arguing about something else seems a bit naive, if not foolish. It could easily be turned on its head with the web firms being criticised by their...

A little unfair I think. I doubt that anyone would take offense at the BBC obituary, not even the man himself. Probably fair to say that every successful politician is going to upset at least half the population. sometimes even more. That sparks flew between him and MT isn't at all surprising...

Given the current situation in 'Burma' I seriously doubt that BJ's comments back in January will have any impact whatsoever.

Makes interesting reading... Doubt has been cast over one of the longest-standing economic claims in the Brexit debate after a Sky investigation revealed that Britain's real exports to outside the EU are actually far lower than official figures suggest. The Government's trade statistics show...

They don't need one which is the underlying reason, or at least not on the scale we do. Having said that the services out of the major cities, mainly freight are generally very good in my experience.

It's a big place and to generalise like that is a little unfair. If you want to see a really good and innovation road network go to San Antonio sometime - it really is amazing, as indeed is their River Walk. The Alamo is a bit naff though and about as factual as Braveheart, the film, is.

Not too sure where should go or even if it should... if nothing else it does show the value of a large scale manufacturer holding their hands up. --------------------------------------------------- Brompton has recalled three years' worth of fold-up bikes due to faulty brackets, an issue its...

It certainly will be interesting. All the more so given that these planes are generally sold with a complete cradle to grave (not sure that is PC) financial model. Just to think of the logistics required to make such an operation work across the world makes my eyes water - must take a whole pile...

I suspect that you're flying by the seat of your pants with that comment?

Interesting, to a point correct as this is the basic way that business works. I buy shares in Company A because I believe that so doing I will make a profit. I doubt I would invest in a failing business, just a bit too risky for me and most other people unless they see an opportunity to...

Agree - where has money from the investment of shares gone? I bet they couldn't sell them and get a decent return on their money? Don't get me wrong here, I fully understand why but it still amounts to a subsidy in the eyes of a competitor.
