    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Woosh, you are so far wrong that I think you must be posting now with a view to winding people up. EU judges have never created any laws that we didn't agree with. We have surrendered nothing but have gained many pieces of important legislation which improves upon existing or previous...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes and no! All opposition groups should stand opposed to this A50 nonsense as there is no better 'Brexit' - any form of EU exit will leave the people of the UK worse off than we have been as full members. To accept any kind of diluted or modified 'Brexit' would be like thanking your torturer...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We have reached a point now where the government has been shown to be lacking fundamental knowledge of parliamentary procedure or more likely, attempting to ride roughshod over it, in determining how a sovereign parliament disposes of a referendum result which split the nation. The tories...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The judgement today was interesting in as much as it completely ignores the democratic fact that there is a parliament in Scotland, an assembly in both Wales and NI, two of those with majority 'remain' populations. It seems that only the Westminster view counts so these devolved parts of the...

    You are lost in your denial, so much so that you can't see the wood for the trees. You displayed similar sentiments with regard to the murder of Jo Cox MP. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm of the view that Mrs Mayhem should stand down from office now. She could have acted previously with the propriety incumbent upon the office of PM and accepted the verdict of the lower court. Instead, she chose at huge expense, though not to herself, to challenge the decision in some...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Thank you for attaching that link 'KTM'. I have to be honest and admit that I don't think I have ever heard of AC Grayling but he seems quite a clever chap, able to condense the 'Brexit' situation and the process which must take place before A50 is implemented into very few words. I certainly...

    A limited edition of prints has been made available, I understand, in honour of Farage's new role as Presidential tea boy. His fans on here can save some money by simply enlarging this copy, adding a beautiful frame and hanging it in a prominent position. Tom

    Breaking down barriers.......Mmm! I'm sure Trump mentioned that somewhere down the line but isn't he the same guy who has promised to build a wall like no other to keep out illegals from Mexico. There must be some entrepreneurial boat owners in northern Mexico not unhappy to hear that! The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What kind of things do fascist governments do that large numbers of people don't want, don't like and discover to their cost that they can't do anything about? Well, here's an example to watch out for but you can actually do something - become an activist and work towards ridding the country...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Promoted way above her abilities! That becomes increasingly clear the longer she is in office. One could ask, 'Why was given the job?' Sadly, the answer is, quite simply, that all her parliamentary colleagues with a glimmer of intelligence didn't want the job as they knew what was coming...

    Here is a short pictorial history of recent US Presidents - the one on the right is Mrs Mayhem's choice of international leaders to be the saviour of the UK, post 'Brexit', through trade agreements.....ok, got that? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    By now, I'm sure all readers of these pages will have learned that a Trident missile test went 'tits up' last June. Nonetheless, the tory government continues to buy these useless weapons of mass destruction instead of funding properly our health care system, education and infrastructure. May...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In 2017, we have a tory government leading the country towards political and economic isolation against the wishes of at least 48% of the population - probably much more than that now, if truth be told. In 2014, the Scots had a referendum over secession from the UK and becoming independent of...

    The Pope has obviously been reading this thread as he has, somewhat belatedly it has to be said, finally pontificated about the rise of the far-right in various countries, something I drew to attention several thousand posts ago in this thread. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38708485 I...
