    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe I missed it but I can't recall seeing this in mainstream media headlines. 'Vox Political', however, draws attention to this extraordinary example of political shenanigans by our corrupt government...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The situation you have described is incompatible with the ideals and aims of a borderless EU. There is a variety of ways in which resolution might be achieved but some of those would not be to everyone's liking on the island of Ireland. To simply say that it's the EU's problem is to pass the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There might be a point that I'm missing but regardless of any kind of 'Brexit', I fail to see how the tory party will change things that they have chosen to neglect for decades. Put another way, given that the divisions within UK society have all been created because of tory policies, why...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This typical tory clown tried very hard to make his ill-researched point on QT but like many smart-arsed tory voters, he was wrong in what he was trying to prove. My opinion of him? Well, I don't think very highly of him and I couldn't possibly express my true opinion in a public forum so I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have sinned and I also have regrets, unlike Édith Piaf who famously sang, 'Je ne regrette rien'. Nobody's perfect and that may be part of the reason I try to find time for my fellow man and stand up against torture and other inhumane treatment. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really don't have a clue what will befall this nation after 'Brexit' but you seem pretty relaxed about it. I suppose that's because you have always had it easy in your life, the army being mummy and daddy to you for much of it. Some of us had it tough but were fortunate enough to make good...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why am I not surprised that you appear not to care one jot about the disabled and the poor? I condemn that inhumane treatment of other human beings. For you apparently, it's simple to just ignore the plight of those people, even though thousands have died as a direct result of tory policies in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Barrow and Furness Constituency Labour Party put this out on social media and it encapsulates exactly the tyranny being enacted against the poor and needy under this tory government. Not only that; the local tory party's statement is revealing and serves to demonstrate how tories view those...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The clueless tory administration at Westminster introduced electronic vehicle taxation and scrapped the tax disc. Now, while I'm not sure how much the old-fashioned visual windscreen disc system cost to administer, I suspect it comes nowhere near the resultant loss of revenue reported in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ....and you criticised Steb for an obtuse post! I note you say you don't care about 'this so-called class war' but while your country may now be free of Westminster misrule, some of us still suffer under it. The British establishment has been waging a class war against the common people for a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What an odd comment 'Danidl'! Were not the miners, steelworkers, car plant workers, printers and all the other blue-collar workers also part of that same economy? Did they not contribute? Are you trying to make a special case for these casino bankers? It strikes me that you are defending the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, we really could do with laying off a few thousand bankers and closing a lot of the increasingly redundant High St banks. The world of banking has moved on thanks to electronics and there's an awful lot of dead wood being carried along in an industry that has been awarding staff large...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought it was an excellent and most appropriate post. BTW, I think you meant to type 'bonhomie' but I'm not surprised you can't spell it as it is probably an alien concept for you! Any answers yet to the big question about 'Brexit'?......How, when, etc? I really don't mind 'Brexidiots'...
