    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although it is known that the Queen does palace business through Coutt's, the oldest bank in the country, it is widely understood by those who have tried to get a handle on royal finances that the royal family's wealth is beyond the clutches of the exchequer which seems a remarkable concept in...

    I don't know who compiled this infographic but in the additional part, the grammar and spelling are awful - does no-one proof-read any more? Nonetheless, Jon Snow's piece is worth another airing as it homes in on why the elite want out of the EU. This pursuit of 'Brexit' was never a journey...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This from 'Ad Sinistram' would be enough to sink a government were we living in the mid 20th century; today, though, we live in a time when no politician resigns when they **** up, only exiting the scene when the weight of public opinion and media delight in such matters can no longer be denied...

    It's great to know that there are still some students in our universities prepared to think for themselves. Sadly, the faculty seems to be ignoring their protest and intends to re-hang the picture elsewhere...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's far too difficult a question for anyone on my pay band - can you perhaps ask one on football and send that question to Jeremy Vine for the 'Eggheads' show? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I had never thought of it in those terms but that's pretty close to how things may pan out, I think. The greater Germany, as the EU will start to look like, might welcome us back one day, I suppose, especially if they ever want to re-establish their royal heritage.........no, I don't think so...

    Fergie's politics are much the same as my own and while some might criticise him and label him as a champagne socialist, he has done far more good for this country both at home and overseas than all the tories around in his life. Sir Alex shares the values of another Scot, Bill Shankly who...

    All those who think it proper to vote for the tories at election time because you believe all the propaganda from their paid publicity agents really ought to search your conscience. The tories are fascists and racists and their closest allies in Europe are the fascist scum running Poland. This...
