    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He isn't. Although I'm opposed to most of Barry's views, he could well be right here. I bought my first home at the end of 1960, deposit was 25%, the morgtage was 5.3 times salary and was at 6.5%. That was a bungalow for my parents, I had no intention of living there since my own plans on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It has worked of course, brutal methods usually do. But certainly not popular with all Australians. Large numbers are protesting at the inhumanity of these heartless measures against their fellow humans. The whole of planet earth belongs to every living organisation born upon it, fauna, flora...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But Australia has got away with it of course, criticised but not punished in any way. They indefinitely totally isolate all illegal attempt entrants in what amounts to detention centres on offshore islands or remote onshore locations. Internationally it's recognised as punishment for trying to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What he had to say about the EU prior to Cameron announcing a referendum consistently indicated strong support for our membership. That only changed for the referendum when it became an issue for his future prospects vis a vis Cameron. That's when he hung on, refusing to state his position...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    One's career interests are one thing. A politician aiming to become PM putting his personal career knowingly before his certain belief in his country's best interest is quite another. It's about as low as anyone can stoop. In a word, treason. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Johnson's recklessness is in regarding the importance of any matter as solely relating to his personal interests. For example, deciding to back the Brexit campaign against his true beliefs after his rival Cameron decided to support Remain, since that positioned him better for a future Prime...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Our leaving the EU drastically changed our car engine status. The motor industry operates far more co-operatively than most realise, particularly with regard to engines. In the case of the Renault-Nissan alliance, some of the Nissans we make here use engines common to Renault and Suzuki which...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All depends on the deal we get with the EU, both have been different cases. Japan because of the deal with the EU removing tariffs on cars from Japan over a five year period. Turkey because they've been working co-operatively with the EU on laws, including standards, trading and vehicle...

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54330880 It's probably the old Thatcher/Blair "Education, Education, Education" thing again. As soon as there's an unemployment problem, it's not the politicians fault, it's because the young didn't learn enough. Rubbish of course, all it achieves is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I only have to stumble in my County of London and I'm in the next County of Surrey, I've just been in there this afternoon and I'm looking out of the window at the boundary at this moment. And if I walk in the other direction for 25 minutes, I'm in the County of Kent. The way things are going...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not doing that Ross, but as ever the person on the spot is more likely to have the up to date situation just as you've shown in your area. The 17,000 you mention will be correct since the 16,000 I posted was a couple of weeks ago. But as you can see those, largely confined to two hotspots, are...

    Do take notice. As I've already reported, that is mainly due to the Borough of Hillingdon which is the Heathrow airport area borough supplying the bulk of Heathrow Airports 76,000 workers who have been receiving all those flights from infected areas. That 76,000 is overwhelming more than...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No-one said it was a hit and run, anyone who gives false details to escape the consequences of an accident injuring someone clearly has the potential to be a hit and run driver. My position is the same as yours where no person is involved. I've twice in my 68 year driving life excused...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's one of the things I meant I meant by potentially serious. If he does in fact have insurance the police might deal with it themselves with a formal caution, given that your brother in law doesn't want to make a big deal of the incident. That would mean no punishment, but it would go...

    Your brother in law is obviously a very decent and considerate man. However, the van driver giving false details is a potentially very serious offence which should be reported to go onto his record. The van drivers circumstances is properly a matter for the courts to consider and act...
