I suggest you speak solely for yourself as you have no mandate to speak on behalf of others that I know of. A 'Brexit' fact is that the UK was most certainly not ok pre-1973 and will even more certainly not be ok if we secede from the union. Tom

I have no idea what the middle class is in 2017 but I do know what working class means - it means paying taxes through PAYE under government regulation. That concept is alien to those with means who can afford to pay fancy accountants generously to avoid paying what they rightfully should...

I found a reply to this MP's question in the form of a tweet from academia: I like that! Tom

Should we pay any attention to the projections made by the LSE? Vince Cable, the man for all seasons, (I think he's a laughable demorat at the moment), has picked up on an LSE report to spread alarm and despondency, particularly in Scotland...

What does hypocrisy look like? I think it looks very much like these examples: Tom

What's the difference between lying, cheating, self-serving tory scum and the large civilised remainder of decent human beings in the UK? This helps to illustrate that difference: tory-voters-take-note-sean-hughes-has-bequeathed-one-of-his-houses-to-a-homelessness-charity Tom

We have all heard the phrase, often attributed to the 1st Lord Acton in the 19th century, 'Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. This action by a tory MP, reported by 'The Guardian', is shocking and redolent of both Nazism and Communism, not to mention many other states whose...

So, true to form, when asked a simple question, the government resorts to gobbledygook in an effort to fool the public. This classic reversal of fact, or as some might put it, a lie, demonstrates clearly the use of verisimilitude: We already have exactly that - the government is intent on...

The longer these non-negotiable British demands talks in Brussels go on, the clearer it becomes that the UK side was never prepared for the contest. May & Co have done little more than display the very kind of arrogance that caused General De Gaulle to repeatedly recommend a veto of the UK's...

That's the trouble with being a one-trick pony. All Brompton's energies are aimed at a niche market and their lack of diversification may well be their undoing in a changing market. Perhaps they should try their hand at vacuum cleaners or fans or hand dryers - just one or two good, stylistic...

.....priest? Tom

Those stats coincide closely with my own research. I conducted a spot poll in my front room this morning and there was unanimous support to remain in the EU. You just can't argue with a majority like that! Tom

Err......has he perhaps got one of those 'money trees' that seem to be becoming very fashionable of late? Clearly, a bit of investigative journalism has uncovered some amazing arithmetic....or lack of it! We remain none the wiser but the whole business surrounding Mr Banks stinks. Tom

This report from 'The Guardian' in the attached link, describing a letter from the CBI and various billionaire business moguls is absolutely ludicrous. The reason I say that is that following the tory misgovernment's decision to implement A50 and initiate secession procedures, everyone knew and...

Can we believe this man? Does he speak with the authority of the Spanish government? Are British ex-pats secure in Spain after 'Brexit'? Time will tell but this is today's news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41714435 Tom

I'm filing that under 'Fake News' promulgated by the tory media wing. Their propaganda department seems to be working overtime right now in their desperation to shore up the dwindling support, even among their own troops, for any kind of deal.....or no deal! If we end up out of the EU...

Be fair 'flecc' - English is a second language for trolls.:) Tom

From memory, I believe sex has to occur between different genders for babies to be produced. I doubt there's much chance of that at tory central office! Tom

Why did you find the need to describe your wife's nationality so: You did that deliberately to draw a response, fully aware of the perceptions of most forum readers. Your colour, like that of your wife, is of no concern to me though it may be to others. Where you get the notion that I am...

This helps describe the situation in the British economy under the ruling Plutocracy/Oligarchy just as much as in the USA: Tom
