    Grenfell Tower

    You're not often right 'Woosh'......but you're wrong again! I call people who support a fascist government and people who believe the far-right propaganda emanating from the 'Brexit' champions extremists because, by their friends ye shall know them! I really don't reserve such nomenclature...

    Point taken, thank you 'wheeler'. My excuse is that I imagined that fact went without saying? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This man was born an aristocrat but chose to eschew an easy life as one of the elite. Those old enough will remember how he came to be not just an MP, but a Labour MP, representing the lower orders rather than the privileged few. He understood well, the importance of the great political...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The government which is dragging the country towards economic and diplomatic oblivion, led by the most inept PM I can remember, is now under pressure from another source which reflects badly once again on their leader. The mainstream media may well prefer to keep the matter out of their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Still on the subject of lying, U-turning, cheating politicians, this Trump quote is stunning in its message: I'm reminded somewhat of Donald Rumsfeld's parable which confused the hell out of the media and the American public: "Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always...

    Corruption yet again by an MP! Finally, the man who prevented Farage winning a seat at the GE, has appeared in court and it will now go to trial in CC. tory-mp-craig-mackinlay-appears-in-court-over-election-expenses-10936430 Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Dennis Skinner is a good man, a good representative of his constituents and a man who understands and frequently condemns the corrupt nature of right-wing politics: Here, he draws attention to the 'deal' struck by the tory party and the Loyal Orange Lodge political wing in N Ireland...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mike Sivier published this yesterday and it demonstrates perfectly the opportunistic nature of the laughable demo-rats. They were slaughtered in the last election but desperate as they are to retain some credibility with those potential voters who may vote for other parties again next time...

    Grenfell Tower

    'Planemo', you could have left your opinion right there but no, you chose to launch into a rant which, you will see from the warm support you received from the right-wing extremists in this thread, was lapped up by them. In truth, I ought to thank you for reinforcing the view I hold about the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The tories, struggling to cling on to power, are desperately seeking ways to secure the under-40 vote as their reliance on rich, well-to-do pensioners backing their austerity measures has a very limited future. This buffoon is instructive as to how far out of touch the tory party is: There...

    Further to my last, I happened to spot this 'Twitter comment' via Nick Pettigrew: 'The UK is Richard Hammond to The US's Clarkson. Some pointless tiny dickhead, egging on his arrogant thick bellend of a mate.' Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Richard Branson was a multi-millionaire - he may actually be a billionaire nowadays but that's by the bye. This statement from the people who run his train set attracted a neat response from Nick Pettigrew, comic, freelance writer and social commentator: Tom

    Grenfell Tower

    Mike Sivier of 'Vox Political' captures the gist of a report from 'The Independent' in this article. Once again, it reveals an area where questions need to be asked of many individuals but we also need to examine this current government's attitude towards 'whistleblowers'. There is probably...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Correct 'flecc'! The difference, of course, is that the Germans post WW2, with the help of the UK and USA began with a blank canvas but with the help of huge financial investment, much of it from us, built a modern, industrially-based economy while the UK languished in the relative dark ages...

    Grenfell Tower

    There is no need for any apology 'Danidl' as we all have other things to do of far greater importance than populating this thread with our heartfelt views. I did understand the point you were making but so many of our 'Brexit' supporters in the UK have very negative views of the French people...
