    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Wisdom from a babe in arms,.. No the British built the Avro Lancaster and then the Avro Vulcan , but each one of the latter was basically hand built( just like a Morgan Sports car ) ,and had no then current industrial engineering practices involved. ..where did I get the information.. from...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I appreciate that you are just reporting what someone else said, but his comments in respect of The Irish Taoiseach were very untrue. That is making Leo out to be intransigent,which in this instance is totally untrue. What he has said is that a time limited backstop is of no value, because it...

    And these foreigners eyes have perhaps a clarity,that is missing in the arrogance of youth. Shades of Motes and beams ?. It is a political headline,in that it promises more that it will deliver. Yes, it is very similar to the Airbus situation,

    Then perhaps rather than attempting to slap me down with a juvenile comment, you might attempt to counter my argument with facts.

    A nice homily to Mr Ives., . Who is a very well regarded industrial designer. . His design aesthetic is based on the German Braun product range of the late 1960s ,which in turn took its inspiration from the 1930s Bauhaus movement..also from Germany.

    Exactly. But going back over past arguments the highest authority in the UK is your Parliament, and the PM is the most important person in it. Which means that selecting the candidate is very important. In other countries, the highest authority is the Constitution, and the PM is bound to act...

    It strikes me that the headline is at variance with the content... ie PSA are saying in no deal scenario no chance in hell of getting the Astras built in the UK. With a deal..and presumably an acceptable deal, there is a chance, not a certainty. But this comes as no surprise ro anyone familiar...

    From Todays Irish Independent..... Japan has publicly cautioned the two candidates vying to replace UK Prime Minister Theresa May that Japanese investment could leave the country if there is a no-deal Brexit, urging Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt to avoid such a scenario. Japan, one of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am inclined to agree with you at the macrolevel. The UK is now in a much worse situation than it was 3 years ago. Then there was a hope ,that things would work out ok . Three years and much goodwill squandered, unless the deal WA is signed is the current position. Without it ,there will be...

    What I am aware of, and the vocabulary , I choose to use can be different. When you gratuitouly insult someone , as your last sentences have done, do not be surprised when there is comeback.

    You must do better. . 1. Is a noun the other a verb 2 . What can I say that has not already been said. 3. The second usage is at best slang. The first is an adjective, and needs to be qualified by a noun..As in " That is an invalid assumption" The denier as in someone who denies an...

    Had you bothered to provide a context ,I would not have asked the question. Now I am not going to bother finding anything else about this Mr Williamson. For the record, denier is a measure of thread thickness, and an Uncle of mine, a Catholic priest , was interned in a Japanese concentration...

    Is there some particular recent reference,to which you might like to direct us,or is this of the " lets throw muck and see if it sticks" category?.

    I cannot agree. Even the Prison of War camps were inspected by external bodies... The international red cross. I have no further agenda than disgust at the way these children are being treated.

    I have read a bit about the concentration camp apology .. No I do not wear it. These are Concentration Camps . They are not Holiday Camps, or Extermination Camps ,they are Concentration camps and go against all the norms of civilised behaviour and established western law.. These are not just...

    That I do not know, but if it did, it was equally wrong. That type of relativism does you and anyone else who promotes it no credit.
