    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As in most things you hold forth on 'tillson', you are wrong in your contention. You fail to understand the purpose of terrorism and you don't understand the meaning of the word. You might wish to consult any good quality dictionary for the meaning but in addition, you could consult Wikipedia...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have been following the TV reporting of yesterday's (apparently) lone-wolf attack in Westminster and I have been struck, not for the first time, by the inept, headline-grabbing coverage from SKY, ITV and the BBC. My sympathies go out to those killed and those horribly maimed and injured by...

    Q) How many 'Brexidiots' does it take to change a light bulb? A) 17.4million to remove it but then they don't know what to replace it with! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Today's Guardian gives us this and at this late stage, following the UK government's declared intention to action A 50 in a week's time, I wonder if this is a portent of things to come...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The same 'Vox Political' blog reminds us, in case anyone has forgotten, exactly who is responsible for all the UK's problems and, surprise surprise......it isn't the EU! http://voxpoliticalonline.com/2017/03/21/a-reminder-of-what-brexit-means/ Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The 'Vox Political' website reports this today but I'm not sure if it is really significant. If, in due course, the foreign-owned carmakers are advised by their bean-counters that shifting production to mainland Europe would be beneficial to them, that would be seriously significant...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So, let's take stock; where are we at this moment with regard to the EU? This little list doesn't seem to miss much: Seems like a fairly accurate synopsis to me! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some people might wish to place the attached infographic in a safe place for future reference: So, essentially we will have pretty well everything we have now as members of the EU club except that we won't ever have to pay any more subscriptions. That sounds like a sure-fire winner to me...

    Undoubtedly! The fact that the chairman and CEO of the marketing company is one, Mr N Farage, should see them flying off the shelves....so to speak! Tom

    I also look forward to hearing any recommendations as slippery pedals are one of the things I dislike about bike riding. Tom

    Although no electrically-assisted version has been produced so far, it's only a question of time and I understand that one savvy EAPC seller in SE England is actively seeking sole dealership rights for the UK, as there can be no guarantee that these fantastic machines will be available in RHD...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Pre-'Brexit' posturing by Mrs Maybe and the clowns is not going well at all. The failure to guarantee security to EU employees in our NHS is starting to undermine the service and that is not what 'Brexit' should be about. Here is the 'Guardian' view on the matter...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Blimey 'tillson' - that's most unlike you! I actually agree with you on that, perhaps unsurprisingly. She became PM only because all the smart tory MPs knew the vacancy at No.10 was a poisoned chalice and only a handful of idiots and the most self-aggrandising showed any interest. Her party...
