    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There have now been numerous indications that, were the referendum to be re-run now that the electorate has a better grasp of the impending disaster about to befall them, the result would be reversed and then some! Of course, your point is partly correct in that there is no hope of ever...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What a stupid, perverse argument! It is not for the 'remainers' to demonstrate the benefits of EU membership - it is incumbent upon those who support the fascists, racists, tax avoiders and pig-ignorant to explain clearly what benefits there will be (and when!) by seceding from the EU. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I hope none of the contributors to this thread still believes that the BBC is full of left-wing loonies; this little montage is simply a tiny example of the kind of tory scum populating the tory propaganda arm on television: Know your enemy!........although for some, so beautifully...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Robert Tressell, the adopted name of a very intuitive Irishman, wrote this piece about capitalism during his short life and sadly, the people responsible for Tressell's complaint still exist. In the UK, they are called tories, the elite or the establishment but by whatever name you know them...

    We are approaching Remembrance Day once again and no doubt someone from the royal gang will step up and lay a wreath at the Cenotaph. This infographic describes perfectly the way I feel about the annual act of hypocrisy by the royals: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nice analogy 'Danidl' and I liked the summary of the position illustrated in the rest of the post! I do find it extraordinary that the 'Brexidiots' in this thread still cannot come up with any good reason why the UK and its citizens will be better off outside of the EU. Instead, they choose to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This has always seemed to me the prime motive why the rich and infamous want 'Brexit', ever since it became EU policy to take action against tax havens. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You still haven't grasped the power of brainwashing, have you? From your contributions in this thread, it is patently obvious that your thought processes and reasoning all stem from a one-track mind and you are probably too old now to understand and admit that you were one of those who were...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    I cannot argue with the logic of those who have responded to my post #243 and I think we can all see the difficulty in trying to find a solution to the Spanish problem. 'Danidl's' point in particular serves to demonstrate the impossibility of any region, or even two or three regions, to bring...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    I take your point 'flecc' but had their passports been removed, they would have been short on legitimacy to remain in another country. Certainly, if they are indeed charged under the criminal law for the offences suggested by media hacks, I can't see that there would be any difficulty in...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    I'm not sure I understand the Spanish government's motive in jailing the leaders of the Catalan region, having removed them from office. What are they scared of? If there is one thing certain to inflame passion among people, it is when the state creates political prisoners. There may be a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My reaction, probably like that of millions of others, on hearing the announcement about the appointment of a new Defence Secretary, was 'who?' For the benefit of anyone still unfamiliar with Gavin Williamson, the member for South Staffs, here is a brief résumé: So there you have it...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The tory in-fighting has intensified after May's appointment of Williamson - here are some early comments.....and not from socialists! I can't stop laughing at this because it's about the very people making a complete arris of 'Brexit', still trying to hoodwink the public into believing that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The matter of the unpublished reports on post-'Brexit' scenarios across a variety of areas may become the straw that breaks the camel's back. The tory government is now really tottering on the edge following recent events but it seems they may well be in contempt of parliament by disallowing...
