How fickle the British electorate is! Tom

Lying and cheating are the tories' stock-in-trade, once again proven in a court of law. The party of millionaires, billionaires and tax avoiders/evaders are desperately trying to stay in power and drag the UK out of the EU before EU legislation comes to bear upon tax issues and offshore havens...

Some notes on tory politics in 2017 in pictorial form: Pictures don't lie!:) Tom

Is this a 'win-win' situation or what? ......and in a little international competition involving teams representing most of Europe and all the other continents, England has been fortunate to find the country has a great chance of further progression. The irreverent Frankie Boyle had this to...

Glorious stuff from another Wayne Kerr Damian........ You really couldn't make it up! Tom

Cyclists should be perfectly free to pedal as hard as they wish but they should adhere to speed limits where they apply and they should ride responsibly on shared paths and tracks. As for powered assistance, I remain grateful that I can have assistance up to 25kph which isn't slow as anyone...

I'm at a loss to imagine how lots of pornographic images were found on Damian Green's computer and that poses a problem for me in this way: 1) Green denies downloading such material. 2) It was his own computer, used for both business and private reasons. 3) If Green shared his computer...

Politicians are terrified by whistle-blowers and hate them with a vengeance. One needs to understand why that is but it is most certainly not because they have suddenly decided to become defenders of the public interest and wish to demonstrate their commitment to decency, high moral standards...

Prosecutions under that act are very rare and were never intended to protect the political class from the embarrassment that ensues from information about their sexual peccadillos reaching the public domain. Of course, such legislation is the perfect vehicle under which to hide information...

The government intent on ruining the lives of ordinary people by their pursuit of a shangri-la paradise only the wealthiest will benefit from is the same government responsible for these despicable matters...

That may not be exactly the way things pan out but I'm certain it's a reasonable approximation of the effects of serious border controls on the island of Ireland. Tom

Here is someone's explanation of 'Brexit': Brexit made simple! David Davis is at the golf club returning his locker key when Mr Barnier, the membership secretary sees him. "Hello Mr Davis", says Mr Barnier. "I'm sorry to hear you are no longer renewing your club membership, if you would like...

'Danidl', I cannot imagine how you arrive at that conclusion. Barnier is a plain speaker and I believe he is careful not to be the cause of any animosity by speaking on his own behalf, knowing full well that his own people would deny any knowledge should it portray them in a bad light. The...

I cannot imagine that Barnier would say anything publicly without first having been appraised of the thinking of the coterie behind the scenes. He is very clearly the mouthpiece for the major EU leaders and I think he is too experienced to allow himself to be made a scapegoat for any unpopular...

It's a matter of opinion and this one is lifted from the AAV blog: Imagine the Brexiter outrage if Remain had won with 52% of the vote, then a small clique of radical Europhile Remainers held the Prime Minister hostage demanding the hardest possible Remain, with the UK to join Schengen area...

Pictures tend to get a message across far more succinctly than several paragraphs, often misunderstood anyway, so these are some which have caught my eye over the last day or two. They serve to illustrate how we have got into the mess we find ourselves and rather concisely depict some of the...

This tweet from a Mr O'Brian is a model of ABC and sums up our position perfectly: Tom

With deference to 'DBye's post #24565, I can't think of any other agencies which will still enjoy the company of UK representatives post 'Brexit' but I rather think our input will no longer be welcome anywhere, given the tone of Barnier's comments on the Europol issue...

Please God - no more Eurovision song stuff! Tom

That is some serious curse! I think it's already been used previously on some tories as how else could you account for trolls? Tom
