    And still they lie.......! All the dhoo-brains and various simpletons, steeped, rinsed and dried in jingoistic BS by propaganda so brilliant that Joe Goebbels would be immensely proud. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that is actually a very good point Dan. It wouldn't do if the main contributors to EU coffers saw the UK advantaged in some way by membership of EFTA as other states might just be a little put out by that and may also decide they'd like to jump ship. As it happens, I don't see a great...

    You come across as a devout anti-socialist. Perhaps you are one of the 'Anyone but Corbyn' camp who happily gives credence to any group clearly unconnected with socialism....New Labour, Laughable Demorats, etc? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    NATO is not known as 'No Action -Talk Only' among American politicians and military top brass for nothing! A pan-European army makes a lot of sense to me. Divorcing the UK from American military policy and American foreign policy, which have increasingly become pretty well indistinguishable...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And Theresa May's isn't? It's not like she is burying her head in the sand!.....you too, come to that. I read it like this: It's the EU's rules as reinforced under the relevant law at the ECJ. If the UK wishes to sell whatever we sell to the 27, every product or service will require to be...

    George Osborne's 'Northern Powerhouse.....

    Londoners need to be on the lookout for infiltrators from the north attempting to undermine the southern way of life, probably to assist their case that the north desperately requires greater investment in infrastructure and industry. This recent example illustrates the confrontational approach...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Remember that the party desperate to drag the nation out of the EU against the wishes of probably way over half the nation is the self-same party which used to lie that the NHS is safe in their hands. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you honestly think that any judgements handed down by foreign judges will sit well with the racist clowns who simply want an all-white UK having no truck with any foreign judges, imagining that that will represent the taking back of sovereignty......the sovereignty that was never given away...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The tory media is having a little difficulty finding material that they can use as 'Brexit'-positive headlines but still the dreamers see a future with a proud, independent nation leading the way in the modern, global marketplace. The reality is that, like the Romans and like the Vikings to...

    How can anyone possibly trust the tories to look after the interests of British people in 'Brexit' when they are the major broker for interested parties wishing to relieve the UK of high value assets...

    And if the UK does not join EFTA what would you suggest the Irish should do? Clearly, you believe a United States of Europe is not something that Irish people would benefit from. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The NHS is 70 years old and is now constantly under threat, solely from the tory Party and their billionaire friends and backers. Those people want to carve up all NHS services and make enormous profits for already very rich companies and corporations by abolishing free, cradle-to-grave...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your analogy is worthless as my family members would be well informed of the pros and cons before deciding. That, as you well know, was not the case in the EU referendum - no detail was presented in order that the electorate could make an informed choice based on any costed plan. The UK's...

    Today's Times brings the unsurprising news that May is about to welch on another promise, this one made in her first party conference speech as leader: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/theresa-may-abandons-pledge-to-curb-boardroom-pay-90dgjmmjp?shareToken=495e716743db4936abb408da3863c23a Tom

    I love this article in The Independent today, particularly the short video clip of David Davis hypothesising about the kind of 'extremely streamlined' customs arrangements the UK will have in place before we finally exit the EU. Sadly, Davis has only one concern and that is to get the best...
