    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't believe what you are all saying about Boris. Surely he's not capable of such cold & calculated political manouvering? He's such a happy go lucky chap and his hap-hazard buffoonery gives him an endearing touch of vulnerability. I'm buying into the Boris thing 100%, so no more slanderous...

    A Thread from Phill for those who are not very Smart!

    OK, I can see the 4K video thing. I'm not sure the iPhone 7 does that? My iMac worked flawlessly for over 5 years, then the video card failed. They replaced it without any quibble and I had no Apple Care or extended warranty. I just told them it should last longer for the price I paid. They...

    Who is right and who is wrong? - How taxpayers money is wasted!

    The last time I used a cycle path I hit a fat woman at about 25 mph. It did a lot of damage to my 3 month old carbon road bike. Plus most of the cycle paths near me are a disgrace. They consist of poorly maintained token jestures laid out in a piecemeal fashion. No doubt only constructed...

    A Thread from Phill for those who are not very Smart!

    I know some people think Apple products are mediocre and over priced, maybe they are but I don't want to debate that. I like Apple products and have iPhones, iMacs and iPads. The integration and synchronisation is great. The build quality and after sales backup is second to non that I have ever...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They will get rid of themselves eventually. All political parties do, Labour, Cons, Lib Dems. They will become complacent and even more contemptuous of the voting public until anger builds to the extent that Labour win. Then the process starts again.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's going to be tough to get the Tories out after Saturday when JC is re elected to lead Labour. I would rather vote for JC than the range of muppets Labour are currently fielding. They need a good clear out. Get rid of the dead wood.

    It should just be a case of signing into icloud with your Apple ID. That should do everything unless for some reason you have everything stored locally on the phone.

    But I don't understand the endless negative comments. Sometimes you need to let things that you have no influence over, go. I think that time had arrived for you.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There may well be trouble or it may turn out better than expected. All of this endless prophidising is not going to alter anything. All that we can predict with any degree of confidence is that we will be leaving the EU. Regardless of what May wsnts, what MPs want or what you wsnt, we will be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've only read the report in The Guardian which is equally incorrect in suggesting that it is the Moon's gravity which causes the tides. No mention of the other factor of similar magnitude. But, if there was no Sun, would we still get tides? I guess not.

    Tricky one that and it would require a huge international agreement that would be hard to broker.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well it's actually the Earth Sun and Moon combination which causes tides. Also, The Sun's gravity does have a component part, but it isn't the Sun alone, as I say, it's all three.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agree. We should keep out and stop intervening. It's the same repetitive cycle of misery, instability and failure over and over again. Also the foreign aid is woefully inadequate. I'm all for providing help and areas of safety for people in their own country.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Let me be clear. Anyone who interprets a reform of the immigration system as murder is not wired up correctly. Take that however you please.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    She just wants to crack down on abuse of the system. That's sensible. I can't comprehend the quantum leap from making the immigration / asylum system less open to abuse, to one of killing people in cold blood. The only way that I can see how someone could make that connection is if their mind...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Still no sign of killing people on site in that article, which was the original statement. Perhaps the statement was made for dramatic effect and was an attempt at smearing? I think that the Guardian article is reporting on a tightening up on abuse of the system. This is a good thing and will...

    Financial Times today. Merkel forced to change tack over refugees (migrants really, but we knew that). Just a bit more reporting on her crime really and how she wishes that she had handled it differently. Perhaps if she had handled it in a way that the people who voted for her would have...
