Stupidity is even more widespread than I imagined, judging by some of the recent anti-EU nonsense contributed to this thread. They do say ignorance is bliss, of course. Tom

This rather encapsulates why we are where we are today with this ridiculous 'Brexit' nonsense: Tom

Too many contributors here seem to be full of admiration for Donald Trump. Be aware that Benito Mussolini and a certain Herr Hitler also enjoyed years of being patronised by nasty people who have nothing but contempt for democracy, for their fellow man, not to mention a pathological hatred of...

I think you are very wrong in that assertion and it worries me to hear people disparage those who would protest over the actions of a demagogue behaving in the manner of all the fascist leaders of the early 20th century. Tom

I like this comment from elsewhere on social media: Claro? Tom

The web blog, AAV, has this today and I just wonder how long it's going to take for the 'Brexidiots' to recognise what is actually going on IN THEIR NAME! I doubt very much that 'will of the people' extends to a future beyond the EU in which the UK becomes, to all intents and purposes, an...

Orwell wrote those words with reference to the Spanish government before WW2. I think his words also fit rather well in regard to the British government today, even though today's tories are further to the right than the Falangists were in Spain. Tom

It's nice to see the government taking action against Israel for once.......the only trouble is, the government is Ireland's rather than the UK one! The Canary has it here...

The following piece was written by Fintan O'Toole last week in the Irish Times: “To grasp what is going on in the world right now, we need to reflect on two things. One is that we are in a phase of trial runs. The other is that what is being trialled is fascism – a word that should be used...

While the UK flounders in the boglands of 'Brexit', its government unable to convince either leavers or remainers that it knows what it is doing, the Irish government has taken a step towards divesting their country of reliance on fossil-based fuels. That seems to me like a very brave decision...

Intelligent adults understand the difference between racism and colour prejudice. Tom

Promoted.....from Health to Foreign Sec? What an opportunity to flog off the NHS to a foreign power! A couple of days ago, this chap used a little satire by describing the new occupant of the post of Health Secretary...

The web blogger AAV has this today: Amazingly some people are arguing that British people shouldn't protest against Donald Trump because that might somehow damage Britain's chances of successfully begging him for a post-Brexit trade deal with the United States. Here are some reasons that this...

Can matters get any worse? Well, I reckon in spite of the endless, empty soundbites from various multimillionaires pretending to be champions of the British people, things are worsening daily, particularly for our incompetent PM. The 'Spectator' has this view at the moment...

It seems like the geniuses of the government's post-'brexit' planning' department are covering all bases should we indeed crash out of the EU without a deal: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/11/whitehalls-potty-plan-to-keep-ni-lights-on-if-no-brexit-deal Tom

Trump seems to disagree with May's idea of 'Brexit'. I'm bound to say that I think it's now a complete mess and at this stage, I'd prefer the 'crash and burn', suicide method which would be the quickest way of getting the eejits who voted for it to understand the economics of life in a small...

From days of yore, we learned that Napoleon Bonaparte viewed England as a nation of shopkeepers......or it might have been Adam Smith.... but that was then. In a future outside of the EU, given the intransigence and wicked disregard for the people displayed by this fascist government, the UK as...

There's a witty rejoinder for David Lidington from Emily Thornberry in today's PMQs. The 8 minute mark on the attached video clip is where you'll find it: Tom

Now two more traitorous tory MPs have demonstrated their complete lack of loyalty towards the party leader........ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-ben-bradley-maria-caulfield-conservative-vice-chairs-resign-theresa-may-chequers-plan-a8440786.html Clearly, May is unable to...
