    Here is my opinion of the printed media and I know the sentiment contained in the infographic is shared by many others: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is the direction that the political wing of the rich and powerful elite is embarked on. Its members see a future very much like the 19th century when employment terms and conditions were entirely within the gift of the land-owning, inbred establishment and those not of aristocratic birth...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As if the point made by Chris Bryant wasn't clear enough, here is another tory MP expressing the same incredulity in regard to May's idiocy in continuing with an act of madness doomed to reduce living standards for the vast majority of British citizens: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The apology for a government that is determined to lead the UK into the biggest peacetime socio-economic disaster in modern history really does seem to have completely lost the plot as Chris Bryant points out in this clip: Tom

    Well spotted D8veh; I hadn't been looking at the vehicles in the multi-lane 'pelaton' including the 'safety car' so hadn't spotted the giveaway. On re-running the clip, I do see a number of eastern bloc-produced vehicles including what appears to be a Lada. It's a very impressive show...

    The people who posted the clip are based in Germany so I would hazard that's where the clip is from - no surprise there then! Tom

    Clearing the snow away.

    Can anyone identify this location? It's certainly not any major road I'm familiar with in the UK;). I guess it's probably one of those European countries where they invest in their infrastructure so they are able to deal properly with winter conditions. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Correct! Part-truths are worthless - only the whole truth and nothing but the truth is appropriate from a person in the highest political office in the land. Being economic with the truth helps no-one and If something isn't the whole truth, what else should we call it? I know the answer. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If the current government were a company listed on the stock exchange, the board would have sacked Mrs May long ago and by now, the shareholders would be crying for blood at the performance of the board, supposedly looking after their interests. Apart from the fact that May's 'Brexit' will...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    May's speech today was rubbish. She no longer represents at least half her party and she certainly does not represent the views of the majority of British people - May is a power-crazed, self-aggrandising liar and cheat. Here is what she had to say to the people of this country when she became...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    She has nothing new to say so just alters the order of words a little......it is simply verbal diarrhoea. May has to be the most untalented PM the UK has ever had. She is an embarrassment to the nation! Tom

    Which could be better described as 'signing her own death warrant' but maybe she thinks she is indestructible - if so, she has forgotten just how ruthless the parliamentary party can be, witness IDS, William Hague, Michael Howard for example. I'm sure they will direct her to the upper chamber...

    I can't wait to hear how Mrs Maybe is going to pull off this Irish border trick she has in mind. This is what she had to say two days before the referendum: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ploughing on regardless towards what is increasingly looking less like 'Brexit' and more like 'Brino', this government, with the full support of the political wing of the Ulster protestant terrorist groups, is treading dangerous ground. The PM and her cabinet need to decide how the Irish border...
