In fairness, what I read and pickup on is moderated by the Irish press.. particularly the Irish Times... A completely different animal from any of the British Times newspapers. It is a trust and would have more liberal Anglo Irish high church social values than much of mainstream UK...

Zathlan, you are confusing the word possible with problem or probably. .. it is possible, highly unlikely, and the tenor of the UK conversation makes it less probable.

.. you are , I take it referring to a full general strike? Last time I looked all those 60 million + UK subjects are also EU nationals and last time they were polled 15 million of them actually voted to so remain. In essence that is the kernel of the debate. All UK subjects are EU citizens and...

The Irish border problem is a British problem at least as much as it is an Irish problem. Are you forgetting that there are 1.5 million British subjects sitting there? All of the west coast of Scotland is open to smugglers, the outer isles ,are only a few hours by small boat. If Ireland were...

That is at least structured thought and is the type of debate your parliament or at least the house of lords should be doing...

Well in my case I have multiple dependents, and there are many cases of "when needs must" . So unplanned expenditure is a weekly occurrence. Case in point, I had occasion to travel urgently via Dublin to London this week and back by car. Flights would not do. My own cars battery failed for...

In a very real sense being within the eu redefines foreign and local so yes being in EU helps. In exactly the same way that ownership of large tracts of Scotland by consortia of Essex dentists is local ownership so is the fleets of French owned buses in London also local. When Brexit...

Steb I had great difficulty in making sense of what is a single convoluted sentence. Sorry for being critical.

While being an advocate for change and progress, I do believe that there are certain of the older ways which should be retained... e.g The discipline of getting a written bank statement, credit card billing , utility bill , telephone bill each month, and not a email reminder that I can go on...

.. a sin certainly, but not a pain usually. However the heat shrink does give neater edges.

Alternative to heat shrink.. and remember you need a soldering iron or a hair dryer to fit . Is to use self amalgating tape. ..you cut a piece off, remove the interlining paper and stretch it around the area the top layer bonds with the lower layer making a pretty permanent waterproof seal. The...

Ahh! Robdon, what did you dislike?

I will respond succinctly.. odd? I think not, yes, yes, no, not at all, no, no, I don't care about this so called class war, you have my sympathy, perhaps not.

I suspect that the objection is that nuclear engineering was one of the areas in which the British led the world. That GB is now beholding to research being done in China , and using French and probably Indian finance is what sticks in the craw. The excellence of British engineering, and it was...

That may all be true, but it is also the situation that they provide employment , tax revenue and profits all of which help keep the UK economy in the black. And if you really are old, contribute to your pension, or trust fund or whatever...

Steb I had great difficulty in understanding this. It is a single convoluted sentence

Noticed in passing a tv display a few minutes ago that one of the UK banks or financial institutions was asking for a second referendum... happy days !

I have to agree with Peter I cannot understand the point made...

Living close to that border I believe that without customs union or something very close it will not be possible to have a soft border.

Zathlan, the reason I requested you to identify your source, is evident when one starts to read a little about that organisation..... A private body, acting without the endorsement of the wider Jewish community. The Jewish representative council in Ireland , found it necessary to publically...
