    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I feel much the same way but we are not out of the EU yet and I wonder if there may be one or two more twists before this fiasco is ended. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This, for me, sums up the disgraceful, vindictive campaign being waged by the New Labour pink tories and the Jewish branch of the tory Party against an honest, decent, socialist politician, the elected leader of the Labour Party: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Those of us old enough to understand why velcro-fastening footwear and slip-ons are preferable to the so passé lace-up type, will no doubt remember the great comedy produced by the Marx brothers from the US and The Crazy Gang from this side of the pond. This bunch of 21st century clowns are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That penultimate paragraph is a huge endorsement that those who created the institution we now call the EU showed great foresight and imagination. I have no doubt whatsoever that, were it not for the EU, the Balkans conflict by way of example, would have been escalated as other nations took...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Back on the subject of the despicable tory eejit, Johnson, this comment from Daily Mirror journalist, Oliver Milne paints a different picture to the mainstream media's cosy story of 'BOJO' providing tea and biscuits for the journos: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Is this hypocrisy or what? Remember all the stories along the lines of, 'My father was a trawlerman, my grandfather was a trawlerman and it's the EU's fault that I'm not a trawlerman......ad nauseam'? On that basis, a bunch of ill-informed people voted heavily to leave the EU but...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I pinched this comment on the 'Johnson affair' from the 'Momentum' website as I think it states clearly what the tory clown is really about: 'The Guardian' has this about Johnson: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/12/steve-bannon-praises-boris-johnson-and-tommy-robinson Tom

    Oh!.....In terms of movies, I see 'tillson' more suited to the monarchial role played by Nigel Hawthorne in 'The Madness Of King George'. None of that Hollywood stuff here! Tom

    Pro’s and cons of buying Cytronex

    Although I had read the material from the Cytronex website in regard to the C1 kit previously, I felt prompted by 'barrycoll's comments in post #1 to pay 99p and download the report from AtoB magazine. The report praises much about the C1 kit and the road test report of a ride using a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Such expressionism in your writing 'tillson'! If you paint as well as you express yourself in print, you must be up there with Lucian Freud and Edvard Munch and should you be musical, I'd think you must rival Stravinsky and Schoenberg. Oh, I happen to agree entirely with your views on Johnson...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It has much to do with attitudes. This helps explain: In the case of the former, there have been widespread calls for a total ban on women being used to advertise cars and other valuable commodities while in the case of the latter, it is seen as the prerogative of all women to dress as...

    Pro’s and cons of buying Cytronex

    I recently purchased a replacement battery from Cytronex as the original one doesn't carry me as far these days as it did 6 years ago. The Cannondale still goes well and fits me nicely so I like to use it for local stuff as it's a very chuckable machine, light and nimble. For serious distances...

    Meanwhile in America, the country with which leading 'Brexit' proponents would like to see the UK more closely aligned, this is the reason why : That is the dream of the far-right of the tory Party. Tom
