    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is more than a little selective! Not only was it in W Germany's interest, it was in all of Europe and the western world's interests to re-align E Germany with the west, ensuring no way back for Russian communism and preventing a neighbouring land becoming unsettled and potentially...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not for the first time, I have to applaud one of your posts 'flecc'. While I was taught about Accuracy, Brevity and Clarity (ABC) in producing written material, I fail frequently to achieve that. You, on the other hand, seem to accomplish the task of getting the point across in a few words...

    Or......if no agreement.........'You are the weakest link and you go home with...nothing!' as Anne Robinson delighted is stating to people who weren't very smart. We can ignore the part that preceded the quoted words as that was just wishful thinking by you, as with all the others brainwashed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You just cannot bring yourself to see any wrong in tory policies, can you? Tens of thousands of unnecessary, premature deaths, directly attributable to the implementation of tory welfare changes must be the fault of somebody else then! The fact that the BBC refused to carry the story tells...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And rightly so! When charities per se were recognised as a money-making opportunity by the entrepreneurial types, (thank you Mary Portas!), they were easily taken over by the tax-avoiding mafia of businessmen with an eye for a bargain! It cannot have escaped notice that the prices in charity...

    For those who may have ever wondered what happens to all the donations made to 'Children in Need', (and you should!), you might be interested in this FOI request for a previous year's edition of that despicable and cruel confidence trick perpetrated by the government's major propaganda provider...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Were you wearing battle fatigues and pretending to be General Patton when you came up with that? I have to disagree with the premise anyway as my experience is that the right words have prevented many actions and mitigated casualties. The UK is somewhat short on diplomats these days, I have to...

    I have to confess 'Danidl', that summation of the posturing we have witnessed hadn't occurred to me in those terms. It makes a lot of sense. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here is the difference between a government that cares for its people and the UK model: It's absolutely sickening how the North Sea oil bonanza has been frittered away by successive neoliberal UK governments since 1979. Norway has a population of just 5.3 million and they used their North...

    My knowledge of history seems to have bypassed this chap whom I consider something of a hero of the common people. Sadly, his pre-arranged, post-death bequeathal to the Co-operative movement was challenged by his family through the courts and his wishes were duly overturned. What is the point...

    Now, let me think.....is Rupert Murdoch a campaigner for 'Brexit'? Yes, I seem to recall I heard that somewhere! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The British government, the incompetents intent on dragging the UK out of the EU for their own selfish reasons, are controlling the media to such an extent that the BBC have failed to report on the colossal number of deaths which can be linked directly to their cruel austerity programme. Why...

    Having eschewed BBC TV for the whole of last evening in favour of constructing a list of people I'd like to participate in a programme I'm devising called 'Youth in Asia', my attention was drawn to this candidate and he fits the bill perfectly: Tom
