The right-wing extremists currently forcing the nation into exiting the EU, regardless of the deal we may or may not get and despite having no plans for life thereafter, are shown up for what they are by George Monbiot in this video clip: There is no other way to interpret what is going on...

Of all the tory politicians at Westminster, this one was selected above all others to represent the nation overseas: Every single person who voted tory or even gives the slightest support to that party should be thoroughly ashamed. Tom

Some people seem to have a talent for prose and this is one such example: MAGIC MONEY TREE We have a little money tree and it always bears A slew of silver nutmegs and groans with golden pears. A hard pressed nurse demanded is there some for me? Oh no, no such thing as a magic money tree...

Lest we forget! Tom

One day in the future....... That seems to sum it up pretty well for so many out there and that position came about as a direct result of decades of both blatant and insidious brainwashing. Tom

That sounds like stark reality from Honda and I guess the other carmakers have probably drawn the same conclusions while doing forward planning which takes account of the various scenarios. Still, how can you put a price on sovereignty! Tom

Farage has lied publicly once too often and this time has been taken to task over it. Now the piece of hist former Neo Nazi party chairman leader of UKIP....(I can't stop laughing!) has had to make a grovelling apology and promise never to repeat the lie...

Yes, somebody has been having a dream. 'On trust' and 'In good faith' are expressions alien to hard-nosed business folk so it all sounds like a smuggler's charter to me. I have two images in my mind as a result of reading that: 1) M. et Mme.Thénardier, the innkeepers from Les Mis and (2)...

Did you actually mean to type that or does your computer need help too? Predictive text gone wrong? Tom

Didn't he reveal some time ago 'Jimod' that he's a scouser or certainly, if not a proper scouser, as close as makes no difference? He's probably only in Scotland to worship possibly the greatest ever football manager the English game has seen; one Bill Shankly OBE, a good socialist and a funny...

Remind me; who exactly stands to benefit from 'Brexit'? It continues to look as if the UK may well lose its carmaking business and associated supply industry unless a deal which very closely resembles what we enjoy at the moment can be wrung out of these ongoing discussions...

As others have said, a towball-mounted carrier designed specifically for electric bikes with a minimum of 20kgs per channel is about the safest way to deal with the matter. Most modern ebikes can be reduced to < 20kgs by removing the battery which is a smart move anyway, given the cost of...

Here is the story of the day from the (ever so slightly) 'Independent': brexit-latest-news-customs-system-eu-withdrawal-bill-date-times-catastrophic-uk-borders-european-a8053591.html Tom

A view on future technology requirements - substitute any fairly rare (as yet) commodity as appropriate: Super-Material-Behind-The-Electric-Car-Boom-Is-Disappearing.html Tom

With all these sexual harassment allegations emerging, almost on a daily basis, concerning powerful figures in the media and in government, perhaps it's time to introduce some guidance for MPs and indeed all males where they necessarily have to intermingle with the female gender. This old film...

Noam Chomsky explains why Israel is linked so closely with the USA and the UK. It's worth a listen: Tom

It's one thing to be grateful for a few crumbs off the master's table but when the master has sold the table.....along with the roof and doors, leaving just a shell; terminated the kitchen staff's zero hours contracts and now eats out every day with friends, I think I'm going to have a cold...

What? Just when I'm embarking on a new round of investigative procedures and bits of surgery by the body mechanics......how long will I have to wait to be seen?...... and have you seen how much they charge to park your car in some of these hospital car parks! Tom

There are two ways to prevent this kind of behaviour in the future: The first is to identify the people responsible and put them in jail till they are old and infirm, as a warning to others. The second, more cost efficient remedy, would be to line them up against a wall and shoot them. These...

'Adopts the right policies'....eh! That would be a whole new venture for a tory government so it must fall into the category of 'fake news', aka a lie since it has been promulgated by a creature completely devoid of empathy for the common man. Tom
