    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The sidebar news article this morning about a Russian warship entering the eastern Med and sailing in the direction of two US navy destroyers - that is worrying, having the potential for escalation into something far worse than anyone might imagine. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm struggling with this item from the BBC, attributable to the US President evidently and find it fails any test of reasonableness in the same way as the Israeli missile, bomb and bullet attacks against stone-throwing youths in Palestine. 'President Trump said the attack was "in vital national...

    Indeed they do! I found that story a little bit frightening when I first attended primary school. Perhaps that's where my aversion to trolls stems from? Tom

    It's interesting that the Russians have always backed the legitimate Syrian government in this horrible conflict and the American action may well upset the Russians who seem to have a better handle on what it's all about than the US. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I didn't expect Trump to act so quickly to demonstrate my recent assertion that he is a more dangerous fool than the one in N Korea. The world is just a little bit less safe today than it was before the USA decided that unilateral action on their part was the way to go. Tom

    Wrong thread, I'd say......in fact, wrong forum! There must be a troll underwater pastimes forum somewhere that would welcome your input.....actually, change that 'must' to 'might'.......maybe not though on further reflection, at least not as far as welcome you. Tom

    Perhaps he just dislikes your pathetic excuse (and used not for the first time!) that you were attempting to be funny or perhaps he dislikes you and everything about you, as I do, given the nonsense you continue to post while ignoring the increasing number of flaws and problems for the UK's...

    With few exceptions, it matters not which newspaper you waste your money on or whether you entrust Sky or BBC to provide your daily news dose. This is how things are in 'UK.com': Tom

    I take notice of the legal requirements and my bikes are compliant. From the outset, I realised what the limitations are for EAPCs and I can ride up just about any hill with the ample assistance provided by my Kalkhoff. I see no reason why anyone grateful for the assistance provided by EAPCs...

    I shan't repeat the whole list KTM but it represents an excellent summation of quite a number of the benefits of EU membership.

    I agree entirely OG and I believe it behoves all decent people to ensure that none of our people go hungry or live in poverty and squalor while others cannot see beyond the expansion of their personal wealth, frequently gained from the toil and industry of those less fortunate. Robert Burns...

    How can the population be expected to have any real grasp of truth all the time we have such a blatantly, anti-socialist media constantly warping people's minds with lies and distortions? The web blogger, AAV, draws attention to this today, just by way of one small example: 'Theresa May has...

    'Danidl', there is no point engaging in a battle of wits with someone who is only half-prepared. Internet forums are littered with trolls just like this one and the phenomenon has prompted several studies into the motives and motivation of these sad, unwelcome, argumentative and quarelsome...
