This is only very loosely connected with 'brexit' but it's interesting to consider while many in the UK are becoming almost celebratory about a future outside of the EU. What do we have to offer, either for our own people or to the world at large? Tom

My oh my! A trustworthy alliance? I think not. conservatives-suffer-defeat-on-labour-motion-calling-for-higher-pay-for-nhs-staff-a7945241.html Tom

I have a feeling that you may just have demonstrated a remarkable piece of prescience in that offering 'Tillson'. Police numbers have been reduced considerably over recent years and it is most likely that in the event of nationwide unrest brought about by the effects of 'Brexit', we would see a...

Sometimes I can be very critical of our MPs, some of whom work very hard on behalf of themselves but others are forced to perform thankless tasks and rarely have a good word said about them. I suppose we should be grateful to those MPs who do a decent day's work every month and I shall try not...

I suppose the 'Brexidiots' will claim this, like other similar tales to have emerged over recent months, is simply a little collateral damage on the way towards taking back control and getting rid of all those foreigners out of Britain. This is yet another example of the future under this...

Well, stop using it then!........and close the door on your way out. Tom

Another little worry for the woman standing in as the Prime Minister until we can install someone with a brain........ https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/11/tory-dup-1bn-payment-needs-parliaments-approval-after-gina-miller-challenge Tom

Yes 'flecc', that too is my understanding of how the expression GB came to pass. Deviating from that matter somewhat but still loosely connected to the matter of 'Brexit', I find it interesting to conjecture with the German situation in Europe, the EU to be more precise I suppose. WW2 may well...

There is some interesting opinion in this short article from Wales Online: everything-were-told-brexit-turned-13591131 Tom

After reading all that blind faith, obedience and ignorance from the former correspondent recently departed, I am convinced of the strong link between tory extremism, the hijacking of 'Brexit' for purely political reasons and the electorate in 1930s Germany which supported and sustained the...

The BBC has an item in amongst their propaganda 'news' today about the painful and sometimes fatal problem of a car door being opened in front of an oncoming cyclist. There are several videos online, of which this is one, describing a way to possibly avoid such incidents - I prefer that word to...

You should understand that you are not the only contributor to this forum who has held rank. You, apparently, feel a need though to proclaim that information whereas others are content to live their post-military lives as private citizens in a humble manner, without the need to resort to their...

Too much inbreeding produces mutants like this creature: Tom

You are regurgitating tory dogma and propaganda that is known to be nothing but lies. The facts surrounding the demise of all the great British industries are entirely different from the lies you have read or had handed down from others who have read all they need to know in the newspapers or...

Please try to apply some joined-up thinking before condemning someone for asking a question! 'Woosh', a man obsessed by facts, figures, statistics, pie charts and graphs, was the contributor who drew a distinction between technicians and graduates, his suggestion appearing to be that...

And these 'technicians' will be employed in our steel, engineering, construction, mining industries....? Tom

In that case, in the famous words of Private Frazer of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard platoon, 'We're all doomed!'. Tom

I rarely listen to LBC but this chap does talk sense: Tom

Blimey! Just for a moment there I thought we were about to be educated in the benefits of 'Brexit' over membership of the EU but once again, it is the usual ad hominem response from someone who has no answers to how the UK might be better off and chooses instead to attempt to ridicule those...

In the future, there will be a troll season and it will last from January 1st until December 31st. There will be a waiting list for appointments as beaters. Tom
