The Irish Times, in the link at the bottom, reports news which clearly demonstrates that some in Ireland have been influenced by the comments expressed in this thread by the pro-remain cognoscenti.;) 'flecc' must be in line for an OBE or better for creating this thread from which so many have...

That problem will always exist as 95% of the legal profession are tories. Can you imagine the situation, had it been the Labour Party which made such a bribe....sorry, an arrangement? Tom

As I'm sure you well know 'Danidl', UK citizens do not have the benefit of a written constitution under which their rights and protections are safeguarded but I cannot agree that it necessarily follows that because of that omission, there exists any lack of appreciation for such an instrument...

Today, the Catalans have declared independence from Spain and the Madrid government will begin steps to enforce their authority over the Catalan region. Not being Spanish, I find it difficult to get a handle on the rights and wrongs of this matter but it appears to me there is no concession by...

Yes 'MikelBikel', that is an interesting turn of events from Spain today and all eyes of the world will now be upon Spain to see how the Catalan issue unfolds in the days and weeks ahead. While your post is relevant to this thread, there is another thread entitled, 'Fascism returns to Spain'...

You cannot seriously be arguing against such an august publication as 'News Thump' sir!:) Tom

After some rigorous and extensive research, I came across this article about what is really going on in our universities in an esteemed news organ, famous for its detailed and forensic examination of facts and statistical matter. You can read about it here...

A brilliant assessment 'flecc'! Tom

Dear, dear, dear! What was I thinking when I read post #22031 some time ago, imagining it to be your valedictory speech after trying and failing to come up with any persuasive argument for secession from the EU? Like the proverbial penny, you have popped up again in this thread to treat the...

This is the summary of the proceedings today at the High Court being passed off as justice: Lord Justice Sales said neither of the two grounds relied on by Mr McClean in his application was "properly arguable in a court of law". He added: "Permission to apply for judicial review should be...

A classic turn of phrase from Wilde and I liked your whole piece, 'Danidl'. My only wish is that we had some transparent accountability and justice here in the UK. Tom

Two bought and paid for judges, part of the elite, have dismissed a very valid argument for a judicial review of the matter, in effect placing the government above the law in this mis-use of public funds for political purposes. This is the crux of what is wrong with the UK today and a public...

Correct only when that adage is applied to normal human beings - in troll-land, different standards apply......well actually, I don't think trolls have standards at all....or morals or ethics, manners, etiquette or compassion for the human species. They are all of the same tribe by the name of...

'Woosh', I really do believe you have lost the plot of this whole 'Brexit' nonsense. Your last sentence in which you pompously attempt to tell us what 'the point' is, is just absolute drivel. 'Remainers' need do nothing. We have lived fairly harmoniously for the last half-century+ with our...

If it weren't for the fact that my Christmas present list is down 52% from a couple of years ago, I'd be buying a few of these, only I'd be looking on fleabay for a better price: Tom

Here is a different take on the tory lies spin about recent news: bad-get-rethink Tom

So, if I do some research I'll find lots of UK companies and maybe even the UK government itself, own similar assets in say, Germany, France........maybe The Netherlands, Italy, etc, to those in the UK owned by foreign companies and governments? After all, one might expect our UK freeloaders...

That sounds to me like false news or as we used to call such blatant untruths, lies! If only the judiciary were not part of the the same British elite as media tycoons, an action for libel against these tory propaganda organs would undoubtedly be successful. I must remember never to buy the...

If you believe that, you'll believe anything! It is certainly a selected audience but not in the way you seem to imagine. Tom

This little infographic is a very close approximation of how we have failed in the UK to make progress in an ever-changing world: I disagree, however, with the absence of the royal family from the 'now' side of the pyramid. They are always there, continuing to breed among themselves...
