    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It seems like many, many thousands of posts ago that such sentiments were last expressed but you are absolutely right, 'KTM', that being a member of the EU is about far more than an extremely large corporation balance sheet. I really dislike the way so many take to presenting numbers acquired...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    After the vicious murder of Jo Cox MP, the Polish man in Harlow and the mob attack on some young foreign kids in Croydon most recently, it is important to recognise these actions for what they are and all decent people should be quick to condemn the morons responsible. “The only thing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're absolutely right and the result shocked a lot of people, Nigel Farage and myself included. We will never know if the result would actually have been different had compulsory voting been a requirement but I firmly believe we should not be undertaking this secession from the EU on such a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I disagree 'Danidl'. 'Woosh' is guilty of one of the major problems we suffer in this oligarchy which presents itself as a democracy. He does what many other anti-EU types have been doing since the beginning of this fiasco in that he regurgitates the lies and headline propaganda from the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The web blogger, AAV, has this to say today and it is a worthy question he poses: 'Theresa May lies through her teeth about wanting to help the "just about managing" while her government attacks those very people, pushing quarter of a million kids into poverty.' How are the Tories so far ahead...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We lost the Americas by trying to wage war at distance. We lost Hong Kong without a fight even though the vast majority of its citizens wanted to remain under British Colonial rule rather than be governed by the Chinese. We simply bottled that one! We claim to have won the Falklands war at...

    It's a shame Cyclezee no longer contributes to this site as he was always helpful and even-handed in his remarks about the merits and demerits of various machines. Tom

    It's pretty certain now that the UK won't be adopting the Euro any time soon and tomorrow or Monday sees the introduction of the new £1 coin, seen here: Now, who would say something like that? Tom

    And neither of you is simply an internet troll, both being long-term electrically-assisted bicycle enthusiasts and contributors to this forum. 'There's an old saying Dave - look after your broom!' Another one is, 'Once a troll....' Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Thank you for your explanation 'Woosh' I got the gist of it anyway from the rather poor translation from 'Google' or whichever one I have by default. As for your concluding question, I can't see any problem - think the USA here. They have not 28 states but 50 and they are very disparate...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I could easily answer that question by saying it is none of your business 'tillson' but as it seems to interest you and I have nothing to hide, I will tell you the truth: I have no other ID on this forum and do not post under any other avatar, if that's the right word for it. There are others...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What problems would those be 'tillson'? I was hoping for an intelligent or witty response but you produced neither. Don't you find it very sad that half the population is being dragged out of the European Union by the other half which includes all the fascist groups, the street thugs and the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm afraid my French is pretty poor and my online translator isn't a lot of help in this instance but your additional piece in French doesn't make a lot of sense to me, coming out like this: 'Everything comes to the origin of this board found in a shooting range or at a fairground and is the...

    There are 5 sentences there and I agree with the first four. I don't understand the fifth as intelligent people know that the EU is a forward-looking organisation dedicated to the improvement of all peoples within the European continent. Tom
