    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's interesting that voices, always people in high places or those with distinctly vested interests, raise the myth time and again that we are at risk from the Russians so we need more/better/latest US missiles because that's the only way the Russians can be deterred from invading and occupying...

    Nicely put 'Danidl' and your point is hugely important. In a different place and at a different time in our history, a young Scots poet made the same point when he wrote: O wad some Power the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae mony a blunder free us an foolish notion. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you have completely lost the plot! In your first 40 words, you describe a situation which resembles a 'Remainer's fantasy then, having plucked your statistics from god knows where, you arrive at a conclusion wholly incompatible with your stats.......amazing! There are lies, damned lied...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I remember them well as my grandmother's home was close to a shunting yard and those little Scammells were in and out alll day long. They were incredibly useful machines as they could turn on a sixpence and were pretty nippy compared to full-blown, flatbed lorries, many of which were still...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The tory scum who buy the propaganda rags of the far-right billionaires who bankroll their despicable party and take their television news from Murdoch's SKY or worse, the BBC, are the enemies of the common people of the UK. Their minds are so twisted as a result of lifelong, systemic...

    If you had read the sentence which followed, you would realise that the RCN and other health service professional bodies have identified that the decline in applications from nurses from overseas has dropped off a cliff since 'Brexit' was announced, particularly so since A50 was activated. In...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The lemming-like rush by the fascist, tory government towards any kind of deal (or no deal) on a 'Brexit', predicated on total lies, has brought the UK to the point where our NHS is suffering the effects through a staffing crisis. It seems no-one is arguing that the lack of nurses and worse...

    I really don't know how you can be bothered OG. The troll is described accurately in the following definition, bearing in mind there are other meanings of the word which I have deliberately left out for the sake of clarity. troll2 | trɒl, trəʊl | noun 1 a person who makes a deliberately...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Noam Chomsky is pushing 90 years of age so he has been around long enough to witness many changes in American society and important events in many other parts of the world. One thing he recognised a long time ago is how socialism has been misused by powerful people to support the elite rather...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This from Ruth Cadbury, Labour MP for Brentford and Isleworth: The EU (Withdrawal) Bill is in the Commons for its report stage and third reading today. Labour won’t give the Tories a blank cheque to cut rights or side-line Parliament. That’s why we have repeatedly called for the Government to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is an excellent article but will fail to impress the 'Brexidiots' or cause them to re-think their stupid fantasy. Why?......Simply because they were never concerned with the economics involved, preferring the dream promised by the snake-oil salesmen which centred upon stopping foreigners...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I sometimes wonder what it would take before tory voters gain a spark of humanity and show some sympathy for those less well off. The attitude displayed by those who pontificate in these pages bemoaning the shortcomings of the underclass in society while worshipping at the alter of capitalism...

    For me, there is no justification for the continuation in perpetuity of such an expensive charade. They should be effectively retired or better still, sold off to the Germans or Americans.....or indeed anyone who wishes to have them.......all of them! Somehow, I can't imagine too many bidders...
