    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Does anyone actually believe the news today that Toyota are about to invest heavily in the expansion of their UK plants? This story stinks to me as it doesn't quite ring true given what we know about UK companies exporting to EU countries post-'Brexit' with the strong likelihood of punitive...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For a guy embarked on his 9th decade on this planet, you certainly haven't lost your sense of perception 'flecc'. Like it or not, people, all peoples, will eventually come to realise that all three short paragraphs you have just posted are not only true but need to be espoused if nation...

    Voting for a party with an empty manifesto - it really is the story of the king's new clothes......not wanting to seem like a fool, etc. Tom

    They'll be telling us next that it's good for the economy, good for business and good for Britain! The huge sums that our private schools and universities charge foreign students never goes anywhere near the exchequer - only the investors in private schooling enterprises and our universities...

    According to the exit polls in Holland, it looks like the Dutch have chosen not to elect Geert Wilders and his racist party. That is good news for Europe and particularly for the EU. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39285803 Interesting times! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Love the map in post #13279, OG! With a little less levity, there is an excellent piece in today's Guardian from George Monbiot about the situation facing the Scots in the not too distant future. I'm not convinced that Nicola Sturgeon is sufficiently charismatic to galvanise her audience in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although unconnected with 'Brexit', today's news from Muirfield GC makes interesting reading. The club members have voted fairly overwhelmingly to allow women to become members. The interesting part is that they only permit changes to their constitution and rules following a ballot with a two...

    It would need to be done in the most humane manner possible.....pretty much like the political class condone for livestock at the abbatoir so first, the stun, rendering unconsciousness followed by throat slitting - that would certainly be an improvement on the HD&Q system or the axe at various...

    Inbreeding among the royals and the aristocracy has been rife through the centuries. It is a dangerous habit and because we understand that, we take particular care nowadays with our animal husbandry to ensure we breed good quality animals while breeding out disease, skeletal and psychological...
