The remark I made towards comments by 'Woosh' triggered something in my mind from earlier today. I read that today is 'Holocaust Memorial Day'. The 1940s Nazi-conducted holocaust of millions, particularly Jews, is one of the blackest periods in western civilisation's history. At this present...

Oh dear! I hope you manage to resolve this little difficulty with the '50cycles' people Dave. I know there are some who love them and some who don't but they have been singularly successful over a long period of time in promoting electrically-assisted cycling and they have presented us with a...

That's an interesting conflict of opinion with another Irish poster and I am unable to comment other that to say I sincerely hope Ireland does not suffer once again because of decisions taken in Westminster. As one with an Irish parent, I understand I qualify for an Irish passport and if that is...

I hadn't noticed this horrible piece of racism from you earlier but this is how you replied to this question from 'KTM': For that, you should be ashamed and I don't think it is necessary for me to spell out exactly why that is but those of us with a little knowledge of the 20th century will...

I have a terrible sense of foreboding about that and it's a frightening prospect. Tom

I'm genuinely pleased that Ireland stand to do well out of 'Brexit' if it happens. I wish that were the case for the UK too. Tom

Leading the opposition party and being a devout socialist when the UK has had capitalist government for 38 years is a long way from being to blame for the state of the country due to to tory misgovernment. Therefore you are wrong to blame Corbyn. As for 'rubbishing' anyone, I firmly believe...

You missed out on explaining the bit about when parliament wasn't in control. Also, regardless of the salary paid to a shadow PM, the real point which you seem happy to ignore is that Corbyn was not and is not responsible for the state of the country. Perhaps you haven't noticed but there...

Seriously, you are going from bad to worse! Tell us at what point parliament was not in control. Then tell us why the pound being 'steady' but worth much less abroad than pre-referendum is good for us - we know how it affects exports. Up and down like a yo-yo around a much lower level on...

Yet more nonsense! I will concede the highly unlikely but possibility of that outcome in your first statement about 'Brexit'. As for (1), Greater participation in what? Also, which people in the UK would have wanted the EU to challenge the UK government? Why would the EU even attempt to...

Thank God I'm not the only one! No doubt though the troll will pop in before long and express the view that it's a brilliant post from the budget bike seller. Tom

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right - here I am, happy in the middle with EU. Tom

I had forgotten about this piece of news from a couple of weeks ago but it's something that should make people in the west, particularly those in NATO countries very frightened. This manoeuvre, authorised by President Obama, has not (yet) been reversed by Trump and is yet another example of...

Can you please think before you put these daft points of yours into print? Why would I want to single out 'remainers' to ask about the lunacy of tory government decisions that affect people all across the political and social spectrum? As I have stated previously, the UK has never had a...

The death of Tam Dalyell has been announced. He was always worth listening to as someone with a broad knowledge of politics and world affairs. RIP http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29367988 Tom

Let them come up with some logical reasons for their beliefs then - jumping off cliffs doesn't count. 'Brexit' = idiocy, whether on an economic, political or strategic dimension. In my view those who support jumping off cliffs are idiots. They just don't like being told the truth in the...

Even the Washington Post has noticed! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/01/26/british-lawmakers-tell-their-prime-minister-your-groveling-in-front-of-trump-is-embarrassing/?utm_term=.13eea25a3041 Tom

After my appeal in post #9949 for any of the 'Brexit' camp to provide me with some genuine, evidence-based reasons which might persuade me to alter my opinion on the UK membership of the EU, there remains a complete absence of such reasons. Perhaps I should reserve further comment for a couple...

Really! Do you really believe that? I believe that the population by and large do like the many benefits we have gained since 1973. The problem is they don't like the kind of UK we have under tory government and that's all we have had since 1979, (New Labour wasn't socialist), but the tory...

Are you now saying that the reason you want the UK to secede from the EU is about unemployment? If so, how will leaving help the employment prospects either here or elsewhere? Tom
