    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All the myths about Labour fiscal incompetence perpetuated by moronic, brainwashed tory scum was abroad thanks to the self-same tory press (we now say media!) before the post-WW2 Labour government was elected. That government took on a hugely ambitious programme to house, feed and care for the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Care in the community really isn't working, judging by the lunacy apparent in some of these posts from the 'Brexidiots' on the first day of 2018. The UK is culling badgers under a tory government which chose not to listen to the advice of experts, just because tories like destroying things...

    I just discovered a moment ago that one of the victims of the seaplane crash tragedy in Australia was Will Cousins, a member of the 'Open Britain' group, campaigning against 'Brexit'. RIP will-cousins-among-family-killed-in-sydney-seaplane-crash Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A Labour government will bring some sanity back to the UK and put an end to venture capitalists and foreign governments and their corporate friends buying up our major utilities, through a programme of re-nationalisation. Anyone who has watched this little clip will understand why it is...

    His ability in that department is sound, unlike tory fiscal policy, based as it is on the work of Mr HC Andersen. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Chaplin said it.....ok, it was only for a part in a movie but the message is important and yet, here we are, almost in 2018, instead of further forging our bond with other peoples, we are breaking the ties that bind; not for any benefit to the common man but only to allow the slavedrivers...

    It seems you haven't quite grasped yet, the power of propaganda presented, sometimes blatantly, at others, subtly. Tom

    You are right about his political leaning and direction 'flecc' even though he pretended to be a yellow-belly laughable demorat! That bare statistic really is most odd nonetheless. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The remainers I'm associated with still believe we may avoid the catastrophe awaiting us and are campaigning to ensure there is opportunity to reject any deal which fails to match the benefits currently enjoyed as a full EU member with a vote in all matters. There is no acceptance that defeat...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That bastion of capitalism, enterprise and free-market economy, the USA, has probably more down-and-outs in one railyard than in the whole of Brussels so I'd suggest the problem of homelessness is not unique to EU states. Homeless people represent just one area of collateral damage brought...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here is a list of fine, upstanding people who declined to be party to the honours charade. They get my respect. a list of 277 people who had turned down honours between 1951 and 1999, and who had since died, was made public by the Cabinet Office following a BBC Freedom of Information request...

    Just let me be clear about this.......a knighthood for the worst drummer of any major rock band....ever? A knighthood for Clegg, possibly the most unprincipled, self-serving political nonentity of them all in recent years........yes, I think I understand the honours system now! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    While people in the UK go hungry and many sleep in shop doorways because they cannot afford a roof over their head, relying on food banks to keep them from starving to death, the obscenity that is the royal family are safe in the knowledge that they don't need to lift a finger to ensure their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of all the recent 'Brexit' material that made me laugh, two stand-out examples stick in my mind: 1) Every contribution by the optimist of the decade, the 'oxygen' fella, who rivals some of the all-time great nonsense writers such as Carroll and Lear. 2) This image - You couldn't make it up! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    On the matter of 'Brexit' itself, some will remember the 'golden 'boy' (briefly) of the tory party, Chris Patten who got all the plum little jobs during his time under Thatcher and Major. He was for a time a European Commissioner so I was interested to hear what he had to say on the matter of...

    Ok, Damian Green is out of the picture but another of May's promoted 'talents' has been exonerated of something that I feel sure would merit dismissal from any decent company............ A 19 year old woman applied for a job working in the office of the Tory MP Stephen Crabb, but was turned...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Wrong question, I'd say 'SHAN'. We need rid of this lousy, corrupt gang of tax-avoiding multi-millionaires and we need to replace them with a socialist government. Jeremy Corbyn would end the persecution of the poorest sector of society, aka an austerity programme that only affects the poor...
