Not being part of this debate .. but it reads very like the children's little red hen story.

Can you not see the disconnect? If one is anticipating rejoining, why leave? But the very serious point is that industrial prowess , once lost is difficult to regain. If and when car assemblers leave the UK, they take with them an infrastructure, and car designers soon follow. For the...

MPs are elected as the responsible voice of their constituencies. They have by accepting their seats promised to become the decision makers. ..And to hold the permanent government ( the civil service ) to account. it's part of the job description. The type of person who puts themselves forward...

Hydraulic brakes do need adjusting, just not as often. In the case of my Magura fitted to a Motus, I found that the front brake needed to be pulled until the handle was just touching the handle bar,after 1000miles in order to get braking. The solution was very simple, looked up on Google and...

Not linked with this company in any fashion, but I can assure that the Motus, in particular and presumably the Captus by implication are excellent machines and at the prices quoted a steal...

I accept the validity of your view as expressed in the first paragraph. I don't agree with many parts of it but it is a valid viewpoint. What my comment was is more limited in scope. And about was the decision by the HoC to exclude giving themselves the right to veto the negociated package...

I don't really want to comment on internal UK politics, but the idea of turkeys voting for Christmas comes to mind. Why any group of people would deliberately exclude themselves from the right to have a final say goes against all principles of self determination. Bluntly it is blizzare.

Don't fully agree. There is one positive from this an actual agreement to exchange bones or remains of MIAs . Now this costs very little in financial terms, but it will mean a lot to the relatives.

The beauty of the democratic process is that all the decisions and behaviour of our public leadership is questionable. Don't underestimate it's importance.. Now the EU has fully respected the democratic decision, bonkers as it may be ,of the UK peoples referendum. They gave a limited amount of...

The decision by Trump to meet with Kim is potentially credit worthy . I can agree with that as your Churchhill once said jaw jaw better than war war. But i would be suspicious as to the motives. Your comment about the democratic creditionals of the election of Mr junkers is not worthy of a...

Going over previously ploughed ground again. How many times must you be reminded that the eu is a democratic organisation, set up by democratic or mostly democratic republics ..with a few monarchies included,.

The argument presented by Tilson is more persuading than that a specific package of a drug cost a lot... . Anybody who has worked in a government organisation be it the armed forces, education or health will have similar stories to tell. More money and effort being expended to ensure that fraud...

What's this nonsense about bribery?. I purchased a property in France by the simple expedient of going into a notaire and negotiating a price acceptable to the vendor. No under table dealings My one and only engagement with the mayor was after we were ensconced in our house, neighbours...

Where have you read that the founding principle of the EU is free enterprise?. Not in my experience. The notions of corruption to which you refer are very much culture dependent. One size does not fit all. practices . is viewed as totally unacceptable in a group of states is accepted...

Hopefully...... I am a sandals and socks person .. maybe 50 out of 52 weeks per year... So as with a number of recent referendums I will be voting no. I see thecombunation of sandals and socks as a union made in heaven... So am I a closet unionist?.

Should the last phrase not have been a change to fail. ?

But Woosh some of us saw exactly those costs and expenses even before the brexit referendum. The big difference between 1800 and now is that as the UK was developing its industrial prowess and setting these standards, it had the wealth of canada, India and swathes of China and Africa and sugar...

An odd effect of a recent irish referendum. It will have come to your attention that the RoI held a referendum last week on whether a certain article in our Constitution should be removed. This article provided for an equal right to life in the womb of a baby\ foetus as the woman carrying the...

Certainly under the new data protection legislation that first comment is true. Whether the second is needs further clarification
