    Brexit, for once some facts.

    While the worst PM in living memory ignores half the population and chooses to continue with the disaster that 'Brexit' has become, other PMs elsewhere are doing something about improving the lot of their citizens: india-introducing-free-healthcare-500-million-people-1075607 Tom

    I do like the output from 'The London Economic' and this links to their article about the vendetta against Jeremy Corbyn: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/politics/facebook-comment-jeremy-corbyn-going-viral/31/05/ Tom

    Woman fighting for life after 'e-bike' hit-and-run in east London

    Yes, you're perfectly correct in that. It's all very well for the legislators to endeavour to make our roads and streets safer but while they may try to make systems foolproof, they cannot legislate for idiots. The female victim of the collision under discussion comes into that latter...

    Woman fighting for life after 'e-bike' hit-and-run in east London

    There's an American C&W song about a retiring trucker entitled, '18 wheels and a dozen roses' and trucks so equipped are fairly common there and in Australia. We have quite a few on our roads too, nowadays. Tom

    Meanwhile, the anti-Corbyn abuse and character assassination continues unabated, the most recent example being David Blunkett who is of the opinion that Frank Field is a great man. Mmm.....I think that says more about Blunkett than Field. The left-wing blog, AAV has this on the matter: The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Media coverage influences much about 'Brexit', particularly the public's perception of both the topic and the leading players involved. The media also influences a great many other things in our everyday lives so this video clip from the USA demonstrates just how powerful a tool it is. It is...

    This plan reminds me so much of Baldrick, as played so brilliantly by Tony Robinson and it's right up there with the tory plan for 'Brexit'. Tom

    Ok, this is a little bit but does anyone else get confused between these two? Apparently, one is in charge of a great city and the other is dominated by a great city. Tom

    Well, I shall be okay as in similar fashion to Oscar Wilde, I can genuinely state 'I have nothing to declare except my genius.'........well ok, apart from the genius bit!:rolleyes: Tom

    ........as predicted in these pages eons ago. We shouldn't be surprised, of course, as that is exactly what a propaganda department is for and with total control over media output.....well, George Orwell foresaw exactly this kind of development when he first imagined then put into print his...

    On a lighter note, John McDonnell, Labour's shadow chancellor, had this to say on receiving a telephone call from someone claiming to be a journalist: I got a phone call from someone saying, "I'm a journalist from the Sun....." at which point, I interrupted him and pointed out, "Look, you can...

    Speaking of pink tories within the Labour ranks, as I did in post #34929, the long streak of p, Lord Adonis, has this to say today about the WTO, so favoured by many 'Brexidiots', indeed, also by at least one contributor to these pages: The web blog, 'Brexit exposed', added this: 'The...

    Woman fighting for life after 'e-bike' hit-and-run in east London

    I would certainly agree that the woman was reckless, running out on to a busy road thus endangering both herself and other road users. Having said that, I have run the clip stop-start, stop-start several times and it is clear that the cyclist was going at a fair rate of knots when he collided...
