    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, and got paid for it. This weeks wage only pays for this weeks work and they've chucked the job. No job, no rewards is how most of us have had to live. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's to be expected. As it was us leaving we had to do all the hard work on the Brexit stuff like arguing, getting bitter and twisted with the EU, worrying, voting on deals, wishful thinking, getting arrogant, being bigoted, fretting, reassuring fishermen, bribing car makers, coping with Nigel...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But how? Only Harry or Meghan can take action on how the tabloids treat them, other members of the family like Charles or William can no more do that than you or I, since not being the victim they cannot be the plaintiff. It's the same with the Press Complaints Commission who will only accept...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt they tried, Charles in particular would probably be happy for the source to be far away in California. I don't think a threat of consequences for the press is viable any more, they'd either ignore it or call his bluff. As you rightly posted recently, the royal family could soon be...

    Very nice, looking good and should turn some heads if you equip it for the road as well. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the origins go back a little further with embarrassment with Harry's behaviour as much as difficulties with the tabloid press. Prince Charles in particular scarcely hid his anger with Harry at times and that rather set the scene for everything that followed. Harry's unorthodox choice...

    It wasn't a German mouse, my friend was Welsh so presumably the mouse was too. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's a long time back now though, the Queens grandfather who adopted the name Windsor. He died the year I was born, 1936, some 85 years ago. However the Sussex's proposition that the royal family is racist is made somewhat silly by: The Saxe Coburg Gotha inheritance of the Queen. Her...

    If one discounts that he's one of the expense fiddlers, charging some £4000 for his riding stable to parliamentary expenses. If one discounts that he's hidden his membership and post as chairman of the secretive transatlantic group Le Cercle. If one discounts that he voted against a measure to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd already received a letter saying I was at very high risk and could book online, but that was just after I already had the first jab. Checking that route now it says it's for booking both jabs at the same time, so that is obviously out. Nonetheless I tried it anyway to see if i could book...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When one's own first jab delivery has been messed up and one learns since that this applied to a few hundred in one's area alone, it's not easy to be confident that a far more difficult exercise will be any better. But regardless of that, no film should be made about a successful vaccine...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They need to be hammered for this, it can only become a brilliant vaccine roll out when completed with BOTH doses. Until then the single doses are only a temporary precaution to take pressure from the NHS. The logistics of administering the second doses of several different vaccines to all one...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed in part, but your attempt at it being only North South discrimination I don't accept. It not only happens down here, the defiling can be done by the privileged. Take Addington Palace on my doorstep, the fourth of the Archbishop of Canterbury's palaces (none at Canterbury!) A...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Makes more sense to me than yet another stately pile built from privilege and disfiguring the countryside. I'd bulldoze and clear 90% of these heaps. And that the coal was there first wasn't out of spite. .
