    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Again I am not privy to the tools they use, but basically any package of data sent on the internet can be traced back to the original node... It has to be, provided there is a will. Yes there are spoofing software and so called encryption sites, but their existence can be determined even if the...

    But did you?. The guys in the Westminster office claim to have tools to stop it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Back to Brexit... The following is an article from todays Irish Times.... I’ve noted on several occasions how the search for a Brexit solution resembles physicists’ hunt for dark matter. Without the existence of mysterious stuff that has mass several times that of the known universe, we...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Best wishes on a speedy recovery. The improvements in hip and knee surgery are staggering ( pun intended). I endured a wonky knee since age 21 and a sports injury and only got it done a year ago,after it was starting to lock up. If I cycle or walk every day, no pain, and highly satisfactory!.

    Any vote for SNP, will be a Remain vote. I would anticipate that NI will also remain , remain.

    No but it will make more accurate the overall pro Remain statistic.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How on earth do you come to a conclusion that the Tory related vote was a Leave vote?. My interpretation , at least as valid, is that it was a Remain vote. Any Tory voter who was pro hard Brexit would have voted for the ..err Brexit Party (Recall that before the election that was the...

    This was actually the proxy referendum. As I see it any vote for UKIP and or Brexit was a Leave Vote ..preferably on WTO terms . A vote for any of LibDems, Change,Green SNP, Plaid was a vote to Remain. A vote for Tories was a probable remain ..since the true blue leavers had gone the Brexit...

    That is a different argument. Careful OG, that type of gatepost moving is what a few others from the brexiteer brigade are famous for. We would not want to follow them there.

    Sorry ,but I disagree. The Apple products are very good..There are better but they do hit a combination of quality and consumer envy and so get this premium boost . Hey that is what a free market about. I don't care that people pay over the top for a luxury product.

    Regarding FB. Yes my children use it,but it holds no appeal for me. I actually cannot find a reason why people use it .. I find Pedelecs sufficiently addictive. Apple on the other hand do or have produced excellently engineered products,at price points that substantial numbers of people are...

    Hi OG, while I share your distain for Facebook and that it does not serve any public good,except employing some people here in Ireland, Google is another matter. I know it is primarily an advertising medium,but it has contributed to the entertainment and dissemination of knowledge

    You really do not understand international commerce like that then?. These are 10 year deals etc what are they going to do with thousands of tons of high sulphur steel?. Where and are they going to replace it?. Live and Learn ? The effect of actions like this is commercial suicide.

    No. I did not lose, I had no vote. My fellow Irishmen in NI did have a vote and they voted to remain.

    Again I agree with you, international contracts, law and treaties do matter. I fear however that your glasses are rose tinted in red white and blue frames . The Brexiteers were very willing to jettison their last formal Treaty. But getting back to things like national resources ..water...

    Lovely answer. Tell that to the Fiat family in Italy,who bartered their engineering expertise for Russian Steel ,giving them what was the Lada,based on a very good Fiat 131 , and getting a steel which rusted a generation of Alfas and Fiats in return. Without control of your raw materials ,you...

    You are correct. Rocket Science is logical. I will further agree with yiu that when these politicians realised that Brexit was a Crock of..... ,they should have come clean with the Public. The British are not fools, they would probably have forgiven anyone honest enough to have leveled with them.

    Yes a clean break, perhaps what YOU voted for,but don't speak for the 17million others who had a spectrum of views. Unless the Brexit Party achieves 50.1% of ALL votes cast in the in the UK European Parliament elections,you are manifestly WRONG.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A parliament which only succeeded in passing one vote,.. essentially meaningless about a No Deal Brexit,will not have any stomach to do something as sensible as revoking A50... And of course this would require the Government moving it.
