Being one who likes a drop of decent English beer, I was shocked on my return to England to see that Tesco have abandoned their 4 for £6.00 deal on the good quality bottled beers. That's fine by me as Aldi and Lidl sell some of my favourites even cheaper than Tesco's deal prices so I shall...

John Prescott......remember him? He was a useful shop steward in his day and was a good socialist MP before he got the taste for champagne! Tom

Exactly 'flecc'! BTW, who is Nick Clegg?:D Tom

Already on social media, some are determined that the DUP should be seen for what they are and I fear that many imagine them to be just the UUP under a different name which is far from the reality. Tom

Given that the only apparent hope for the tories to carry their evil policies through the Commons lies with the DUP, I think it is important that the British public understands exactly who these people are and where they are positioned in the political spectrum. A little insight can be found...

I'm afraid I have to take issue with your premise 'Danidl' for this reason: The EU need do nothing at all as it is incumbent upon the UK to attend the long-awaited discussions or negotiations if that be the proper term. The EU is not expelling the UK from the union - it was the UK's stupid...

So, am I right to understand that our political future will be in the hands of the N Irish unionists? Those people have been steadfast supporters of the tories for a very long time, indeed, they are essentially an integral part of the UK tory party. After the 'Brexit' referendum and the way...

With you 100% on that, 'Tillson'. Tom

I note Simon Hughes, the former MP for Bermondsey, has tweeted lovely things about Nick Clegg, calling him a 'great European'......that just serves to demonstrate how out of touch with reality the laughable demo-rats are. Simon Hughes himself was basically a middle-of-the-road town councillor...

There is much opinion (varied) in the international media about the Saudi Arabian football team refusing to show proper respect for the victims of the recent London atrocity, including an Australian in the match against Australia yesterday. I don't accept any of the feeble excuses for that...

Let me see if I have this right as I sip my morning bean-to-cup. Today, we have a PM who had no need to but chose to call an election in order to strengthen her hand. As part of her strategy to realise that ambition, she refused to take part in any meaningful debate with opposition leaders...

She made the decision to go to the country and it was made for all the wrong reasons. The exit polls could prove to be entirely wrong......or they may be spot-on - we shall see. Certainly, May deserves to be humiliated, especially for her sheer arrogance through the electioneering campaign by...

The clueless bitch has made history: Tom

I just read this elsewhere and simplistic though it may be, it is entirely logical unless one is so brainwashed that truth no longer has any meaning. Last chance to vote in a government that works for the vast majority and not the political wing of the aristocracy and landed gentry. Five more...

Like you OG, I toyed with the idea of perhaps voting tactically in my absolutely staunch tory constituency....for about two minutes! During those two minutes, I managed to work out that, while it would be totally pointless in my neck of the woods anyway, I really could not not cast a vote for a...

Today is the day when we all have the opportunity to express our political preference at the polls in our gerrymandered constituency arrangement passed off as the basis of democracy. Whatever the outcome, I earnestly hope that everyone who sets out to do their civic duty today returns home...

I'm back in England in order to cast my vote but I have one final thing to say before polling opens: Tom

I shall understand if everyone laughs at me for this but I am not convinced that the stupid woman will be PM by the end of the week. I realise that it seems unlikely but I really do believe May's position will be severely weakened when the votes are counted. With luck, her majority will...

All the very best for a long and happy retirement. Your input in these pages has been missed in your absence. Slangevar! Tom
