    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As if Johnson's unwanted insulting behaviour in a Buddhist temple weren't enough, he then pontificates about the long overdue mooted pay rise for public sector workers, which, in his nasty mind, should be paid for by the workforce themselves through laying off workers. Never trust a tory...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The buffoon, Johnson, has been up to his stupid antics again in a foreign land. I believe this dunce of the first order should be sacked from his post as Foreign Secretary as unfit for purpose. He should also be removed from the cabinet and returned to the back benches. This creature is an...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    You are right about the lack of justice for the many major atrocities carried out and you are also correct about the ETA situation over the last few years. I think it is worth mentioning that Catalans and Basques are not one and the same. They share contiguous parts of northern Spain but the...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    Dangerous times and it will be interesting to see how the events of the next few days and weeks unfold, particularly the role of the Guardia Civil, always seen as Franco's enforcers while he wielded power and never really trusted even today by the older generation with long memories. If the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As 'Brexit' approaches, let's briefly examine where we are at: Apparently, the EU may be suggesting/have already suggested that there should be no internal Irish border for EU purposes and all ports and airports connecting with GB should form that secure border. That should be fun trying to...

    Hurricane devastation

    You have no concept, it seems, about what has been going on in the USA since Obama left office. The lady concerned has no interest in politics - she just wants help and the opportunity to get on with her life. Sadly, the people whose decisions affect every aspect of life for the ordinary folk...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The esteemed pillock parliamentarian, David Davis, leading the British contingent out of their depth against the EU's finest, has stated to the independent loyal members of the tory media wing fourth estate that the UK has made 'decisive steps forward' in the talks in Brussels. I guess it all...

    Finally, in Saudi Arabia.......

    Our great friend in the middle east oil-producing area, Saudi Arabia, has finally given women the right to drive cars with just one or two very minor conditions that will help women avoid infringing the law: It seems that there are two or three minor hiccups still to be addressed........like...

    Hurricane devastation

    We in the UK rarely experience the kind of weather that creates the damage we have witnessed via TV as a result of Katrina and Irma recently around some of the Americas and the Caribbean. Although I have read lots of material about the trail of damage through Florida from friends there, this...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can help with that. The mafia, sorry.....lender! lies and cheats, is never properly audited and is well informed about charitable status, overseas development and money laundering generally. A fuller description becomes available to anyone wishing to avail themselves of the current list of...

    Unbelievable! Much more of this ridiculous nonsense and we could become the laughing stock of all the world's trading nations. Oh, hang on a mo........! Tom

    That must be the basis for one cracking accent if you've picked up some broad Dundonian and mingled it with that slightly pirate burr of the West Country! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ah, you can do grammar!:) Wheatley is one of the most readable authors I have ever read. He told absorbing tales with well-to-do heroes always able to outsmart the devil's agents, whatever the situation! The heroes would never make it in time nowadays on that car dash from central London...

    Two-tier justice

    Your statements were nonsensical and here is why: If that is your idea of trying to make a point, it is lost on me. Mein Kampf is a very boring read but contains sufficient references to allow people perhaps a little insight into understanding how and why the author wished to change the world...

    Two-tier justice

    Some people, rather a lot of people in fact, have found the sentencing by Judge Ian Pringle, less that appropriate in the case of the vicious stabbing by the clever Oxford student. It is very sad that such preconceptions exist today as appears to have been the case with Justice Pringle. It is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Am I the only one who doesn't understand this post? The second sentence seems unconnected with the first and rather incredibly, brings either Jesus Christ or Jeremy Corbyn into the strange mish-mash with which the poster presents the readers. By not starting sentences using the normal rules of...

    Yeah but!.........wait till we're free of the EU - we will be so much stronger on our own and able to stand up to the bully boys of American capitalism. Oh ye of little faith! Tom:D
