    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Let's just remind ourselves of the kind of lies perpetrated by the tory scum charged with negotiating the UK's progress towards economic and political suicide secession from the EU: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I just unearthed this little gem from a long, long time ago. It explains perfectly why the tory voters cannot stop themselves from voting for their party, even in the full knowledge that they are evil, barbaric, lying cheats: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I understand I have the opportunity to gain an Irish passport as my mum was born there of Irish parents. I'm unsure about the requirements for a French passport but I doubt that I'd qualify although it has been suggested by some genealogists in creating my family tree that I most probably have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yesterday, I couldn't believe how great a priority the forthcoming royal wedding merited in the propaganda sheets posing as newspapers, overshadowing all other news. I don't know about anyone else but I came across this tweet which coincides precisely with my opinion: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It was always inevitable that the UK government would realise that, eventually, a large sum of money the country can ill-afford would need to be paid to the EU to discharge ourselves of the liabilities and responsibilities agreed upon during our tenure of the EU. Apart from that, there is a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    MindfuI of the hugely important spirit of free speech, I hear what you say 'Danidl' but in my mind, I can easily make an exception for the despicable woman in this instance - it's on a par with giving Pol Pot's personal assistant a platform to explain the Khmer Rouge's reconstruction programme...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    With 'Brexit' in mind and the kind of Eurosceptic apology for a human being that Katie Hopkins has demonstrated herself to be, I have to say kudos to the students at Brunel who made their feelings about her patently clear. The scene can be viewed in a video clip contained in this link...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The conclusions are interesting in that some adjustment will be necessarily and obviously required but one has to think that the negative impact on each of the 27 is likely to be far less than that which will affect the UK. I'm sure many of the member states will consider it a price well worth...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Oh! In this public domain, limited though it is, are you saying that I should not respond to any posts to which I feel so inclined? That would be like someone arbitrarily imposing censorship. Perhaps you do vitriol, as you call it, better than me but you certainly don't have any monopoly on...

    I saw this and immediately thought of that 'Peter' fella who hangs out round Dundee........ I wonder if Peter has been involved in providing aid and assistance to this chap? I think I read that Peter does useful community stuff...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They have no shame! They and their political marionettists have no answers to the important questions about 'Brexit' and they have no good news they can publish about the economy so, in the absence of anything positive which can be said about our prospects, they publish their age-old...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Did you have an extra bowl of stupid this morning 'tommie'? There is a conundrum that people in NI need to resolve and that is, 'Are you Irish or British?' 1690 was a long time ago but for some, it seems they cannot forget that era and they continue to taunt the nationalist population by...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I believe you may very well be correct 'flecc'. Regrettably, I fear a schism in the tory party will most certainly not benefit anyone hoping for a fairer, more democratic and inclusive administration as I can envisage something resembling the Whigs and Tories from a previous epoch. Currently...

    The DUP are not helping Irish unity yet continue to support a failed British government pursue a 'Brexit' which will ultimately harm all Irish people. The last three paragraphs in this article are revealing: dup-conference-ukip-arlene-foster-theresa-may-brexit-nigel-dodds-a8076256.html Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wonder just how much regret there exists out there. Perhaps another referendum is the only way to get the definitive answer to that as I suspect many who regret having voted to leave last time can't actually bring themselves to admit it among their peers for a variety of reasons. In a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm afraid not 'Danidl'. The legislation permitting all workers to receive wages in the form of real money in a pay packet was enshrined in the 'Truck Act(s)' if memory serves me correctly. That was abolished in the 1980s. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We haven't even left the EU yet but here we get a taste of how employers will operate once freed from the 'red tape and bureaucracy' surrounding workers' rights. This is absolutely despicable by Tesco and without workplace safeguards in place, we will soon be back to the days of queuing up...
