I think Labour should have positioned themselves as the opposition to BREXIT more assertively. I've never understood who they are and what they represent. I don't think they know. My main income comes via a wage which is earned by working for a company, so I really should be a Labour voter. I...

He was elected because that is the way their voting system works. You could say the same about the SNP in this country. They received a much smaller number of the actual votes cast compared to UKIP and the Lib Dems, but have more MPs. The fact is, Trump said at the outset, elect me and I will...

I think Jeremy Corbyn is a closet leave supporter. I get the impression that he has never been keen on the idea of the EU.

Without getting into personal opinions surrounding what Trump is doing, he made certain pledges and promised before being elected. He then went on to win the US presidential election, presumably because voters supported his views. He now faces two choices. He can either carry out what he...

I don't think I said that I support arms sales to despots. I'm not sure where that has come from. It's probably wishful thinking on your part.

That's easily answered. A wrong is a wrong and a right is a right. X Wrongs does not equal right.

The original point concerned the sale of weapons. OG was singling out the UK. It doesn't make it any more acceptable, but I was making the case that this is not exclusively a UK issue. As for Trident. It was a TEST. The clue is in the word TEST. Tests are conducted to try something, a new...

The only unstable region and threat to the UK is your post code.

What does this have to do with BREXIT.? As KTM Bicycle Man tells us, BREXIT hasn't happened yet. What is happening now, today, is happening under EU membership. You really do hate Britain don't you?

..... and no other country makes and sells arms do they? France has never sold or provided technical weapons support have they? Oh, hang on a minute, they have. They sold missiles to be used against British troops. Whatever the rights or wrongs of selling arms, why are you singling out your own...

Anyway, on a brighter note it looks as though the UK is heading for a new era of enhanced relations with the USA. We should take some pride from the fact that arguably the most powerful leader in the world chose to meet with the British prime minister before any other world leader.

I didn't realise that you supported anarchy as well as remain. Oh well, we live and learn.

I know that we haven't seen eye to eye over many things, but I am 100% with you on this. old tom's views are very different to mine, but when he posts garbage like this regarding the Australian insult, it reminds me that his judgement is massively flawed.

You really can be stupid at times.

I have only ever spoken of the idle being poverty stricken. A person who is prepared to take employment deserves support and help. I know that you are desperate, but please don't start making things up.

At present, there are many perfectly able bodied people who do not work. Their parents did not work, their grand parents probably never worked and they too have no intention of working either. The financial differential between not working and working is small, so small that they can't see the...

I see.

Thank you for the link, it did save me hunting back through previous posts. Although I can see your point regarding our history and our relationship with Australia, I do think that you are over reacting to what was said.

What disgusting remark regarding Aussies? Are you having another "episode" again?

Well there is the problem. The circumstances need to change whereby the able bodied Brits find that the alternative to work is highly unattractive. I think BREXIT will deliver on this, :-)
