    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG, when some apparently reasonably normal person decides to engage in a battle of wits while only half-prepared for such a contest, if you rise to such an unequal challenge, it could be construed as bullying. That consideration could be viewed even more seriously when the challenger is an...

    Quite correct OG and it's nice to see you have spelled the fourth from last word correctly. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly! If there's one thing I really hate about the internet, it's trolls and the only thing worse than a troll is a stupid troll - there is a village somewhere in troll-land missing its idiot and if the residents were to put out a number one might ring so it could be collected and returned...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Always a good source of news matters political, once again 'The Canary' draws attention to a matter unlikely to receive much coverage from the tory propaganda wing. This is about our current apology for a PM being in flagrant breach of the law...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Blimey! Some people are really going to get a massive cumuppance in the not too distant future. 'Ere!......what's goin' on then? This ain't wot I voted for!'........Oh, dear oh dear! Intelligent people stop believing in Father Xmas, the tooth fairy and fairy tales generally at a fairly young...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There are some things in life that take a bit of courage to undertake - for example, ceasing a long-term tobacco habit, making regular dental appointments or going on a diet and sticking to it. It will be different things for different people but dragging oneself away from religiously switching...

    UNDERSTANDING TROLLS: If you find yourself having difficulty understanding some of the really daft and ridiculous postings emanating from internet trolls, one of which has decided to roost in this 'Pedelecs' forum for a spell, just keep this in mind because it describes perfectly what you are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If anyone is any doubt about the colour of the perpetrator and that of the victim in the University of Maryland murder, there are countless reports available from assorted US news agencies available online. Also, one of the guys I work out with every week is a Maryland native and he gets his...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Even as internet trolls go, this clown really is a complete pillock. He probably imagines that to qualify as a lynching, a hanging must be involved whereas hanging, evidently, is simply the usual method but any trial without jury and consequent murder may be referred to as a lynching. He...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A long time ago, I drew attention to the dangers presented by the empowerment of street thugs, racists and all the right-wing extremist groups given to them by fascists like Farage, Johnson, IDS and most of the parliamentary Conservative Party. Those fears I expressed came to fruition when a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Best to ignore the usual suspects on British TV and radio then. The foreign channels present British news with no side. They don't seem to 'provide' political or economics/finance editors to explain the government's preferred version of the news for you. It seems to me that those who occupy...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know you have tried very hard to get through to this particular correspondent OG but it really is a lost cause. There are some who just cannot see the wood for the trees and besides, unless things have changed, only British citizens on board planet Earth are permitted a vote if they meet...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I understand your difficulty over this forthcoming election and my gut feeling is that the likeliest result will be a hung parliament causing us once again to be subjected to the unsavoury spectacle of the horse-trading employed by the laughable demo-rats at the 2010 election. Any result for me...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Is 'Brexit' still a live issue.....do we have a crack team burning the candle at both ends resolutely attempting to ensure the UK gets a fantastic deal from the EU? Obviously, I mean a top-notch group of statesmanlike political brains engaging in serious discussion, rather than a bunch of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It never ceases to amaze me how gullible the British people really are. The tories and their media wing in particular have known this for years and that is why they continue to deliver their distorted message knowing that they will continue to get away with it! This is just one recent example...

    Be fair Og - that's the standard spelling in Trollville; English, as you know it, is only taught as a second language so one has to be tolerant of the odd mistake.:rolleyes: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This may be true or it may simply be a made-up piece of pro-Corbyn propaganda but it is most unusual in my experience to find someone who has been subjected to the British military's brainwashing programme to give his backing to the Labour Party. This writer on mainstream social media seems to...
