    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Got to hand it to the jocks! They know a tosser when they see one. I'm not sure why but I'm reminded of a piece of Glasgow humour that occurred while Bono was playing a gig there. He got the whole crowd to be silent and then began slowly clapping his hands. He got the crowd to clap along for a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, if being a real 'Wayne Kerr' in political office is sufficient cause for sacking....sorry, resignation!......why is Boris Johnson still Foreign Secretary? It seems that the lady locked up in Iran may be released before much longer but not because of Johnson's intervention with Iranian...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No surprise there! Once an inveterate liar and bulls hitter, always a liar and bulls hitter. I have a real difficulty with the constituents who elected this pile of poo and do nothing about it when he repeatedly lies and incompetently fumbles his way through the most important piece of...

    Policemen all around the country will be just as delighted if such news is announced soon.....just as delighted as they were last time their service was reviewed. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The news about Damian Green's err.....'resignation'.....from the Cabinet has drawn much mirth from many quarters and were it not so serious and close to the heart of government, it would be comical in the extreme. Just how many Cabinet ministers does a PM have to lose before being recognised as...

    Damian Green has resigned - let's have more good news like that! Another nonce case in the tory ranks bites the dust. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Almost certainly not! Moreover, if you asked across the EU or, indeed, right across the international community, the answer would be the same. It ranks as one of the greatest peacetime acts of stupidity ever committed by any country. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's probably too late for those suckered into over-committing themselves to possess all the materialistic trappings so essential to be cool, hip, with-it, up-to-date, keeping up with the Joneses.....or whatever the modern terminology is. The credit card providers, banks, car dealers, furniture...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is simply urban myth, generated by the tory propaganda purveyors. No Labour government has ever put the country in the massive debt that tory governments run up, time and again. 'Quantitative Easing' destroyed all arguments about money availability. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    'Vox Political' gives a brief but accurate description of the people likely to want 'Brexit' and benefit from the kind of UK we will have once free from the EU. Check it out here and see if you are one of those likely to benefit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If only that were true, 'Shan'! Unfortunately, the monarchical democracy in which we exist, so often trumpeted by the kind of propaganda rags you mentioned, is a sham; a figment of the imagination just like Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. The de facto situation is that democracy has been so...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    On more than one occasion, I have made reference to the charitable status accorded to some really undeserving cases and believe it needs to be completely overhauled as it has been hugely abused for no other reason than tax avoidance by by people and organisations not in the least charitable...

    The lies continue: .......then there's the perversity........ More than ever, trade unions now really need to recruit workers and provide the representation required to protect the workforce from the evils perpetrated by exploitative owners. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A lot of people seem to have forgotten just how badly Theresa May performed her role as Home Secretary when she was over-promoted to that position by Ca-moron. May was an abject failure and she has fared no better as PM, a job that few serious politicians wanted after the referendum. Much of...

    While the PM tries to impress the tory grassroots support through their favoured brainwashing, false news organs in an attempt to talk up her handling of the monumental disaster of 'Brexit', these thoughts are in my mind this Sunday morning: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Such truths and reality simply won't wash with the 'Brexidiots' as they have been told by the 'liar-in-chief' this very week that we are making good progress towards decades of pain and misery particularly for the younger generations something that will bear no resemblance whatsoever to the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We seem to have something of an hiatus in the government's unrelenting attempts to talk up the disastrous mess it has made of negotiating a deal on 'Brexit'. Nevertheless, social media has lots of images to consider. Here are three: Tom
