    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think it was KudosDave who recently described himself as happy to be identified as European. Looking at my own genealogy, I am equally delighted to be known as European, not because of the geographical aspect, more because my lineage has Irish, Scots and French connections. I expect if the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

The answer is to do with class war, wealth expansion for the few at the expense of the many, along with the total destruction of all democratic processes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't wait to hear the answer! I remember very well what became of that little Scots chap, Wallace, who thought freedom was worth fighting for. I remember too, one Wat Tyler who led the peasants' revolt and allowed himself to be lured up to Smithfield to meet with King Richard 11, naively...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Those not old enough to have witnessed WW2 or Korea or Vietnam; those never conscripted, those who know nothing about the Suez crisis, the Mau Mau uprising or the partition of Palestine, you have no idea what you are doing if you give support and succour to liars, fascists and racists posing as...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The tory government has designs on privatising every function of our NHS in order to make profit for the few. The same tory government has repeatedly declared that the UK is the strongest ally of the USA and that there is a special relationship between us. The tory government is determined to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I note that we still have contributors who have never taken the time to learn and understand the make-up and functions of the various elements of the EU. The nonsense about unelected, faceless decision-makers in Brussels has been debunked in this thread a long time ago but some vocal...

    Matt Damon has just gone up enormously in my estimation! Damon could have simply kept his mouth shut and got on with increasing his personal wealth in his very successful career as an actor but he chose to stand up and speak his mind about the state of the USA and the world in general. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is probably some right and wrong and maybe even a universal truth in this sketch which we could watch and discuss. Alternatively, and a better idea might be we just watch and consider that British society has never really changed since the 1960s. Brainwashed into accepting a society...
