    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Good news for the UK this morning as Glaxosmithkline announce a £275 million pound investment in their UK based operation. They have stated that they still see the UK as a good place to invest.

    It is if they manage to put a cap in the driver's worthless ass. In the UK, the only thing that would govern the duration of a similar attack is the capacity of the fuel tank on the lorry. You aren't going to find a bobby with a gun in a hurry (maybe in London, but not anywhere else).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I see that a legal challenge to Corbyn appearing on the ballet paper by default has begun. A ruling is due on Thursday. I'm no lawyer, but from the wording of the rules, it seems pretty obvious that JC's name should go forward without the 60 odd MPs supporting him. In circumstances where there...

    Chilcot - the aftermath

    Totally agree. Kim Kardshian will have had another "tit job" in a day or two and Chilcot will be but a distant memory on the minds of the Great British Public. Terrifying.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree that the Daily Mail /Express etc are biased and it's OK to point that out and it's ok to draw an inference as to the reliability of the information published. However, why is that anything linked to in this thread which indicates any negative aspect of leaving the EU is taken as...

    Really OG? Racism, a belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior. I can't see how saying that a particular nation's government has a tendency to ignore certain aspects...

    Yes, we perhaps desire the same outcome, but can't agree on the best way to get there.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can empathise with some of these remarks and it's easy to imagine, if say the French had our membership easements and rebate, how we as a nation would feel about that. I know it would never be off the pages of the Daily Fail. I'm not against the principle of freindship, cooperation...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What I don't understand is why we must be part of the EU to have this type of international friendship. Why does leaving mean that the UK can't have a friendly relationship with its neighbours? Who's is the aggressor here saying that if we leave, that's it, you're not welcome anymore? I have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Because I used the term "too many young people", the implication being that their numbers are high, but not all and certainly not by association. oldtom said: The 'leave' supporters really don't like the association I make with the tattooed, skinhead thugs proudly wearing and brandishing union...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Even though I profoundly disagree with nearly all that oldtom has to say, I've not put him on an ignore list because he has a right to be heard. What I can not understand is his hatred of working people and the ease with which he is able to make accusations of racism. This even extends to a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Have you read that article? It makes no mention of closing the factory, just that they don't know what the future holds, so can't say how the plant will develop. What does, "Whatever else one might accuse the crass,insulting,uninformed brexit voters off, one cannot accuse them of considering the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You don't know this will happen. You state that Nissan WILL relocate in the sense that the decision has been taken and that it IS going to happen. Where is your evidence for this? You should use terms like may, could or potentially when talking about these things. It is almost as though you...

    The Canary is a left wing political blog, hardly a source of unbiased neutral journalism. It's editor, Kerry-Ann Mendoza, is a left wing political activist. Now I'm not trying to vilify her or say she is wrong, but how can we draw an unbiased and factual opinion from her? I would say no more so...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It seems to indicate that the 7 year deal would be if we left the EU. But it is a Daily Fail report, so place as much credibility on that as you feel able.

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    The suggestion of starting a FaceBook page is excellent. It could give a true indication of the scale of this issue.

    I agree with much of that. So do we really want to be in a union with such people? People who weaponise migrants to try and strong arm us into accepting the EU? The U.K. Showed much solidarity and sympathy with France after the Paris atrocity. Is this their way of building on that offer of...

    One thing derf. I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that English isn't your first language. If that is the case and English is your second language, you make a better job of it than I could do in my second language.

    It did cross my mind that the French were playing games, but the principle of tighter border controls is a sensible one. I took exception to the notion that those calling for these tighter controls are whinging at the delays. I've always said, that these checks apply to everyone, not just...

    I am well versed in the English language thank you and educated to a reasonable standard. I'm also feeling pretty chilled too.
