For a little levity.......although it could be a true story?;) Tom

I'm afraid I have to take issue 'flecc' with your conclusion. Perhaps I read matters incorrectly but I believe that a majority of the electorate, lost and bewildered by all the months of indecision over 'Brexit' plus their annoyance at being taken for mugs by the liars who have reneged on all...

Which side is Hammond playing for? He seems to be doing a good job of p'ing off the self-employed and he's likely to cause millions of others to re-think their allegiance if he starts raising income tax for the ordinary PAYE employees while doing zilch to tackle the real tax cheats who avoid...

So there can be no mistake, this is the person who has called an early election, exploiting the weakness in the main opposition party at the present time. Fair play to her; she is taking a risk, though probably only a small risk but a lot of politics might just occur between now and June and...

Election time approaches and these are the leading players........ Tom

Not everything in the UK is failing - the company which produces these signs has announced record profits: Tom

I wonder if there's an 11+ exam in the trollosphere.....mmm? Tom

It may be spelled 'D-R-I-V-E-L' in your dictionary, as it is in mine, but it might well be different in the 'Trollosphere'.......after all, the troll utilises a word used to describe poultry when he accuses others of crying 'FOUL'. Perhaps though, that's the way it's spelled in the strange...

Welcome back 'Tillson' and I hope you are in fine fettle. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I empathise with all your comments in this post and I find it both surprising and not a little disturbing that Mrs May has opted to call an election in June. Clearly, she reckons/has been advised that the...

I'm not sure it's important to know the Russian view on the GE but someone has created this: It might not be true, of course! Tom

I came across this recently and it is quite amusing: Tom

Well, well, well; May has called a snap election. That's a very clever ploy by her - slightly risky perhaps but with Labour in disarray, her timing is impeccable. It's the perfect way for her to divert blame away from herself if it should turn out that 'Brexit' is a disaster. If she gets away...

Those are the very economic policies which have failed the UK over the last half century. It is for exactly that mistaken notion of successful economics which has rendered the UK such an industrial desert, reliant on foreign ownership of our once great industries and utilities, much of which...

This is the 'Guardian' piece about the Attorney General's alleged intention to block the prosecution of ex-PM, Tony B-liar. I sincerely hope this fails and Blair is duly arrested and taken into custody before being handed over to the ICC at the Hague. That is the rightful place for such...

Not really. It's a tactic lifted straight from the internet trolling handbook which describes an approach whereby the hostile toll suddenly adopts a somewhat sycophantic approach, ingratiating itself with its target audience in an effort to gain credibility and become accepted by some; the...

This pretty well sums you up for me............ Tom

Out of the EU and standing alone, who exactly will the UK have as friends? The Commonwealth countries are too far away and cannot service all our needs anyway. The USA is not our friend and had it not been for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they probably wouldn't have entered world war...

At my age, it isn't of great concern but I do have family in Paris and part of my ancestry is French. I also have family in Australia, NZ, Ireland, Thailand and Denmark. I choose, however, to live in Spain for varying periods each year and depending on how things progress with secession, I...

You see, there is where we disagree fundamentally; I want to live in a united Europe, just as Churchill foresaw over half a century ago. To be a part of a nation isolated from our nearest neighbours and having to compete in a global marketplace is not where the UK should be in the 21st century...

That's an interesting take on British history 'Woosh'. However, it isn't one that would attract much support from those who have actually read and understand how we British came to be what we are today. Tom
