    Brexit, for once some facts.

    While I admire your confidence in the possible consequences of 'Brexit', I can't actually share your opinion as the Scots are possibly the only country in history to vote against independence! Irish unification would be a wonderful thing though if it is achievable without re-starting old...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although the piece I link to here was written 10 months ago, it provides an alternative view from that which people are likely to receive from KuenSSberg, Robinson, Peston and the like at BBC, ITV and SKY, not to mention the tabloid media owned by billionaire benefactors of the tory Party. I'd...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG, I like your whole post there and the general thrust is spot-on for me. I could take issue with lumping the 'Whole Westminster Flying Circus' together as there are some decent people in the Labour Party working hard for their constituents and the country at large - none is part of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although some posh people had fridges and even domestic freezers before the 1970s, you are quite right 'flecc' that it wasn't until the 70s and later that they became de rigueur in modern kitchens. My late wife managed a frozen food store, 'Bejam', since subsumed by 'Iceland', back in the early...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The fascist Prime Minister and her government dogmatically dragging the British people towards the cliff edge of political and economic isolation is the very same fascist group whose policies have already adversely affected ordinary people. How much does it take to get tory voters to understand...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    From 'Brexit' to garlic, (which I love), then on to salt......well, salt and ice to be precise. Perhaps I have led a sheltered life but one of the political blogs I read has a warning on today's page which should be very worrying for parents of school-age children. I can't remember this being...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know what you mean. I can't think of a good analogy but as an Arsenal fan, I think that if the gunners were to suffer relegation to the Championship while Spurs get to play in one of the European competitions each season, playing against the best teams in the world, earning loads of money...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The disgusting BBC-employed, tory propagandist, Laura Kuen SS berg, continues her attacks on Corbyn and even though the BBC's editorial standards committee found against her and notified the complainant to that effect, no action has been taken against her. Do you wonder why that is? I don't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My family connections in Paris tell me that, in spite of all her 'Farage-like' rhetoric about 'Frexit', the word on the street is that Marine Le Pen has cooled a little since the start of the year from her previous views on the matter. My understanding from recent media is that although she...

    I guess most readers of these pages will have seen the attached link to a video on behalf of the TSSA in regard to the ownership arrangements of our railway network. For the benefit of anyone who may not have seen it but might be interested to view it, here is a link: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Theresa May, the person responsible for overseeing the UK's exit from the EU has now taken a bit of a pasting from a usually very supportive source because of her ineptitude in managing the situation. I'm beginning to wonder how long she's got left in the job she so coveted. Here's the link...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think many of us know this already but clearly there is a long way to go before the millions easily gulled by the BBC, SKY and the tory party press actually get the message. There really isn't any easy way to get simpletons to believe that the media sources they use to learn what is going...

    The Beeb....or dear old Auntie, as some have referred to that institution, has been caught out broadcasting downright lies in support of the tory party. This example is not just an isolated incident but it serves to demonstrate how unquestioning simpletons are provided with views inconsistent...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Right from the start, there have been two particular soundbites from the various disgusting creatures who populate the group of far-right proponents of 'Brexit' which have absolutely no practical meaning for the people of the UK. One is the nonsense about securing our borders which is something...
