    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It doesn't matter which name anyone appends to the tory party, these creatures never change their spots. The accompanying pictures demonstrate perfectly how the aristocracy dealt with their perceived threat to their supremacy in the early 20th century and we saw similar brutality again used by...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, given that the idiots who fell for it last time cannot be honest with themselves and admit that they were wrong to believe the lies from proven charlatans, I expect they will believe it. The 'Brexidiots' are now desperate to find any crumb of comfort to which they can pin their hopes in...

    Stunning Mercedes Smart eBike reaches new heights!

    Wow! That is a classic oxymoronic expression of your view Dave. It's little things like that to begin with....then the closing down of all websites permitting anti-government expression.....then the proscription of certain left-wing political groups.......can you see where this is going when...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, that apparent omission stands out like a sore thumb in that text. Curious to see if Cicero ever actually referred to the clergy or religion, I made use of my favourite search engine and uncovered this which may or may not be interesting - I got bored after about 30 seconds...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although I have a difficulty with #3 and #5, I agree with Cicero's perceptive analysis of the world around him back then. Things haven't changed much at all really over the last 2,000 years it seems, #11 being particularly pertinent. Tom

    Mark Steel looks ahead to the glorious new dawn in 2019 when I have no doubt the Daily Fail and the like will canvas the poor folk to revive the traditional street parties to celebrate another great victory in Europe......... Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Could it all be just as simple as this or was it an amazing coincidence that when Brussels determined that they would move to end tax-avoiding practices within member states, the UK's richest people, their parliamentary representatives and their propaganda arm all swung into action to find a way...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    While most of the population are trying to get their head around hard 'Brexit', soft 'Brexit', WTO, how to get to the Costas once Ryanair and Easy jet move out, etc, this lying, cheating government continue with their divisive tax policies which favour the rich at the expense of the ordinary...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Can you pull a face in such a way as to look as though you are having difficulty with what someone is saying? I think M. Barnier does a fantastic job of looking utterly incredulous at the outpourings from the best that the tories could muster to represent the UK in Brussels: I reckon...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, well, well! Some bloody nuisance MPs have managed to resurrect the Whitehall paedo ring scandal and forced the PM into saying that: 'she would “examine the case” for a public inquiry into historical child abuse in public life, for which 139 MPs have now called.' I guess, roughly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The talks in Brussels seem to have reached an impasse which may be as difficult to progress from as those previous impasses, not too far away from Brussels, at Verdun and the Somme. Not a great deal was achieved in either of those but the casualty lists were enormous...

    That seems to me a very likely outcome. I have just had a conversation with the father of a young woman who works for the ECB and has done for several years. She says there has been an enormous increase in British-based companies looking to migrate their business base, either in part or...
