    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sadly, 'free press' and by extension, other mainstream media, while sounding like a desirable element in civilised society, does not equate to uncorrupted or incorruptible. The 'Fourth Estate' is viewed realistically in the 'Wikipedia' entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Estate Tom

    He/she/it is an internet troll and this kind of posting and general behaviour is the unchanging MO of all trolls. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If this were a less powerful country, say Argentina, I have no doubt the stupid bitch in Downing St would by now have ordered the joint chiefs of staff to organise a battle group headed for the south Atlantic. At the current stage of affairs with the 'Brexit' fiasco, this little incident in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here is another interesting take on the 'Russia' crisis created by tory central office in conjunction with the secret services: The French reaction to the Salisbury chemical weapons attack is very interesting. President Macron has stated that France wants to see "definitive evidence" before...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In case anyone has forgotten how corrupt the DUP and the tories are, this little episode might remind you: The Tories used 'English Votes for English Laws' rules to bar the SNP from voting against their plan to deny free school lunches to the children of some of the lowest income families in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The DUP, political wing of the protestant extremist groups in NI, took not 30 pieces of silver but £1billion from the British taxpayers' purse to provide succour to the tory scum in order to keep that despicable party in power. Be careful what you wish for! Tom

    I was interested to read a synopsis of the current situation expressed by a non-mainstream web blogger. This is what 'The Canary' makes of the present position: new-evidence-left-theresa-mays-russian-spy-story-tatters Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here is a reminder of what Jeremy Corbyn is about incorporating a frank comparison with the warmongering tories and pink tories who have repeatedly dragged this country into conflict, usually based on LIES! Tom

    Will it work for whom? I can't imagine for a moment that the EU will allow that to happen. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We in the UK have a PM who has been sabre-rattling for some time in an attempt to divert her failings both as a former Home Sec and as a PM. The tory party is divided over the 'Brexit' issue and May's Premiership currently hangs by a thread. The Labour party is also split over 'Brexit' with the...

    Another shambles of a performance of 'Prime Ministership' at the despatch box! I squirm every time I watch this apology for a Prime Minister attempt to speak to the house, having to think on her feet because she can't answer a question: Tom

    Excellent post! Ten out of ten for that one, particularly as this thread is supposed to be based on facts. It seems like Mrs Maybe doesn't read these pages or she would understand how stupid she now appears and perhaps desist from challenging the guy who runs the Red Army to a fight. Tom

    Just so we all know what Jeremy Corbyn said about the current issue for which Russia has been blamed without any solid evidence, as far as I'm aware, here is the text of his statement: I can't see much to complain about there. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some very current snippets from elsewhere on social media: Tory: "We're looking at upgrading our ability to deal with chemical attacks" Public "How come we don't already have a specialist regiment to deal with them?" Tory: "We used to have one, Labour introduced it in 1999" Public: "What...

    Blimey! 'Facebook' has kicked out 'Britain First' and while not the first expulsion by an international social media site, it's nice to see they have some standards after all. Who knows, perhaps social media sites will start expelling trolls next!:) technology-43398417 Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It wasn't the EU that created this: Britain's fiscal watchdog, Office for Budget Responsibility, said the Government will struggle to hit its target of balancing the books by 2025: "the Gvmnt may not eradicate the deficit before 2031". All that pain dished out to the poor. Tom
