    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Every day seems to reveal the result of yet another poll of some kind loosely connected to the possibility of a UK secession from the EU. This one, apparently a 'Yougov' poll, conducted on behalf of the 'Open Britain' organisation, strikes me as odd because it asks about returning to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is a powerful piece from Denmark although I suspect it won't be appreciated by the 'Brexit' camp, so entrenched in their hatred of foreign people and of many groups of British people that common purpose, togetherness and the advancement of humanity in friendship are anathema to them. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which of the Pedelecs 'Brexit' Appreciation Society organised this photo shoot and which one is Tillson....or is he the one behind the camera?:) It must be reassuring for the far right to know that these people will be on the streets, assisting the forces of law and order in ensuring public...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is the kind of treatment that our fascist government continues to dish out to some of the poorest and neediest people in British society. While the careerist PM goes and prostitutes herself in Turkey and the USA, her grovelling acolytes are still treating sick people worse than criminals...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Older readers will remember, as will others who have knowledge of modern history, that, just as a tory PM has visited the fascist, American president on his home soil and came away, optimistically braying about our special relationship and the promise of trade deals, a tory PM did a very similar...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    One needs to keep an eye on the kind of people who flit around briefly occupying exceptionally high-paying positions in a kind of upper-crust, unmusical chairs. Given how important it is to the tory party, the English aristocracy and the Greco-Germans pretending to be the rightful royal family...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you have finished reading today's propaganda from the tory media, you might want to have a look at one of the items concerning our 'glorious führer' described in a left-wing organ, 'The Canary'. Here it is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not a huge fan of 'The Guardian' but I consider it to be a little bit less right-wing than the majority of the mainstream press. This infographic rather succinctly describes how reading the far-right propaganda, so beloved by 'Brexit' supporters, affects the ability to think independently...

    Precisely! People should read the story of his college days and wonder how he could possibly have avoided the draft to Vietnam. It's amazing the help that's available to millionaires and billionaires. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We have had squatters around for a great many years, particularly in the capital but generally, they are ignored and don't cause problems for ordinary people. Sometimes court orders are required to shift them but they are usually peaceable folk and abide by court rulings before finding another...

    If you were as shocked as I was by Trump's restriction on freedom of choice on scone filling, you should be even more worried by the latest document he has endorsed: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Six killed in Canadian mosque attack and another mosque burned in an arson attack in Texas. This is what happens when people vote for right-wing extremists - all the extremist nutters everywhere feel emboldened and empowered as a result. We saw it in the UK with the murder of Jo Cox MP and in...

    I am really shocked by some of the stuff I have read today! In the USA, some of these initiatives implemented by Donald Trump are absolutely outrageous. After this example, goodness only knows what will come next. He has really gone beyond the pale with this: Tom
