    Brexit, for once some facts.

    These are not my words. I have plagiarised someone else via a family member but I don't half concur with the message: Here's what I'm really struggling to understand. All I've ever heard from people, for years, is this... "bloody bankers and their bonuses" "bloody rich and their offshore tax...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Jeremy Hunt, the really, really useless Health Secretary, has stated a bad 'Brexit' will hurt the NHS. Ye gods! is it just me or can others see that this creature is totally unsuitable for any kind of managerial post? Blind, deaf and dumb....very dumb! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Taking back control........anybody know which control of what? When was it lost anyway? The bit about taking back best refers to a time over a century ago. That's where any more tory government will take the country. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Young people think they know the history of the NHS but in reality they have no concept of how health care was achieved pre-WW2. For millions of people, there simply wasn't any health care as we know it today - doctors were few and far between and poor people frequently succombed to illness and...

    I really don't know what this is or what it once may have been??

    Thanks 'flecc'. I thought you might be able to pop up with an explanation and ID the machine for me. That fits perfectly with my inability to understand its purpose, being neither one thing nor the other and it really doesn't look like an old i/c engined moped converted. Actually, it did look...

    I really don't know what this is or what it once may have been??

    I saw this parked outside a pizzeria in southern Spain and thought it was a moped first off. On looking closer, there is no engine nor any electric motor to be seen. I noted the unusual front suspension arrangement and an old-fashioned front dynamo feeding a front lamp with some crude wiring...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    American politics tends to p me off as it is corrupt to the core. Occasionally, however, one of their leading lights says something worth disseminating far and wide. This man is known all over the world and he may be a Hollywood product and multi-millionaire but whether sincere or not, this...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I ponder that frequently OG. It has occurred to me occasionally when I sit still at the place where my pondering is done mostly - the 'Ponderosa' - that we are actually characters in a kind of arcade game being played by creatures elsewhere in another universe with a different time system to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    These are indicative of Britain's problems, regardless of EU membership or not. Sadly, such problems will undoubtedly be exacerbated by secession from the EU. As for Theresa May and 'Brexit'...... ..........How does Theresa May expect to negotiate with European ministers, when she...

    Is he actually real........or just a tory media-inspired hologram with the relative sound-effects in an attempt to steal some of the 'care in the community' votes away from JC? Tom

    Glad to have been of service 'Croxden'! If you find me amusing when I'm stone-cold sober, then you'd find me hilarious after I've had a few! I've been known to do a pretty good stand-up routine but it can be painful falling over again and again! Did I ever tell you the one about the two gay...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No-one should be fooled by this piece of crap pretending to be a Labour politician. In 'old speak', he is what used to be known as a 'champagne socialist' but the labels are unimportant; by their deeds and the friends they keep, ye shall know them. Burnham, like a number of others of his ilk...

    I should keep your sexual proclivities to yourself but perhaps your'e advertising? That aside, you draw attention, not to a spelling error but rather, to a mis-use of the apostrophe. Just make sure not to mention it to D8veh as mis-used apostrophes are one of the things that really bug him. Tom

    As usual Woosh, you miss the point. It has nothing to do with spelling mistakes but don't let it concern you - just put it down to one of those strange things that some English do that French people don't quite get. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    'Brexit', and every other bad thing which has happened to this country over the last 38 years, has come from tory governments which have ruled without exception since 1979 - obviously, I include the sham 'New Labour' -denominated 'pink tory' group at the helm between 1997 and 2010. All the...
