    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know; it beggars belief but there are several institutions, the BBC for another example, which offer secure long-term employment at inflated salaries paid for out of the public purse, for all those dyed-in-the-wool tories, not to mention various sexual perverts, who are unable to find...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For me, the IEA is one of a large number of quango-like bodies that serves no useful purpose for the people of the UK, its primary function being to employ tories who are too ugly to be selected as MPs. Frankly, I believe it should be classified as a proscribed organisation. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This little film clip was made 75 years ago and today, the world is once again under threat from the fascist hordes while the mainstream media, as in the 1930s, demonstrate support for these evil people.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Frédéric Bastiat, one of 'Woosh's old college friends, who went on to be something of an expert in economics had this to say about the vile people who rob, steal and defraud their fellow man as their primary method of personal wealth creation: Sounds exactly like the modus operandi of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The case for another referendum seems to have grabbed the attention of a much wider audience over recent weeks. I'm happy to go along with that and equally happy to abide by whatever the result, provided the right question(s) is asked. Some commentators have suggested there needs to be three...

    That brief, potted history is exactly that which I was given to understand by my mother and her siblings, my aunt and uncle, all born long before partition.

    After reading post #33606 from 'gray198', I actually believe that..... I don't know whether what he suffers is treatable but anyone clinging to such narrow-minded and anti-humanitarian views such as professed in post #33606 shouldn't be allowed out of the house unescorted, never mind being...

    I have never said that every single person who voted leave is a racist nor have I said that every one of them is a fascist but this I can guarantee - every single racist and every single fascist voted leave! Claro? You need to think about that. Tom

    Sorry 'Woosh' but you have me at a loss with these: I fail to see any relevance to the post I made in any of these comments, indeed, it's as if we are speaking different languages.....a bit like if I say, 'How far is it to the station?....and you answer, 'A quarter to three!' Well done in...
