This is tory Britain - just wait to see what they will do to you and others once free of the international legislation on human rights encompassed in EU rules....... Tom

This is the creature representing the interests of the rich and powerful.......for the moment: The full story is here: how-thick-does-theresa-may-imagine.html Owen Jones, a journalist of sorts and major critic of tory policy, has this to say about 'toryism' as he calls it...

You can't really put a price on peace of mind and I'm so glad you shared that with us 'flecc'!;) Tom

None of us is in a position to reveal the inner secrets of our security services and, like many others, I signed the Official Secrets Act many years ago. Fortunately, I am not privy to any worthwhile information today, having retired from service many, many years ago. As regards how matters...

Oyster, I don't know if you are old enough to remember that period or whether, perhaps, you have studied the history of that age but you are right to draw attention to the matter of British spies and espionage in general. I have said previously that one cannot escape politics in the UK - it...

I too watched the May interview and I felt both embarrassed and ashamed to be British. Her whole demeanour was risible and contemptuous of both the German Chancellor and the EU. May, like the clowns she appointed to negotiate our exit terms, is singularly unfit to represent this country in any...

Some of those born into bigotry just will not let go. Their politics are defined by their religion and when the marching season comes round again, they will once more exercise their right to parade their loyalty to the British crown. The sooner the 6 counties are subsumed into Ireland proper...

For those who haven't seen it, here is the photographic evidence to back up the tory media claims that Jeremy Corbyn met with a representative of an evil regime in the 1980s: Tom

Are you unwell? Which other countries will we trade with on better terms than those we have right now? Please don't tell me that the USA and Canada are likely to be charitable towards the UK because it isn't going to happen - they view the UK's forthcoming predicament as an opportunity to make...

It is always worth taking a moment's time out now and then to reflect and remember that the government intent on taking us out of the EU is exactly the same government driven by their desire to persecute the lower classes, destroy the NHS and every last bastion of publicly-owned state machinery...

The exit of the UK as a mutually-reciprocating trading partner from the EU will not hurt the remaining 27 sovereign nation states nearly as much as it will hurt the UK. Cost to EU, big or small divided by 27 won't be too painful and even if the brunt of any financial pain were to be borne by...

That's perfectly correct and I don't share the optimism of our good friend from Southend in his notion that Mrs Merkel ought to or needs to do a deal with the UK. The EU isn't exactly a charity and the UK will struggle to get deals anywhere that might be construed as beneficial to the economy...

On this island, millions know who is responsible for the state the nation is in and worse - the disaster about to befall us! This imbecile is guilty but he is only one of many! Tom

Everything is politics and politics is everything; we cannot avoid being participants unless we adopt the ostrich attitude to danger. I loved these two views on politics from different centuries, each as observed by very astute men: "One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics...

The great Nye Bevan pondered long and hard over this many years ago: In the USA, the great socialist and workers' rights champion, Lucy Parsons had this to say on the matter: To explain it, we need to understand the power of control, the telling of lies, the non-telling of many truths...

There is an outfit that goes under the name,'Everytown USA' and it is a gun control advocacy group, apparently. Although I don't know the details of their criteria, by their reckoning, there have been 18 school shooting incidents since January 1st. They are listed here: school-shootings-2018...

This from the USA - simply insert BBC or Sky for use in the UK: Tom

How's economic growth looking in the UK at the moment? It seems the EU has done very nicely which seems a little perverse given the stories we have been told by British 'experts' about 'them' needing us far more than we need them. In the full knowledge that the UK seems intent on committing...

So, now we are to be treated to a series of speeches by leading tories in an effort to stem the haemorrhaging public support for their crass folly. uk-politics-43045553 In the widely leaked first of that series, the fool...... ....will attempt to get the remainers onside. That should be...
