You might be right, but I will be very much more upset and annoyed by our leaving than even the longest delay.

What a wonderful way to run a government and a country. Hard to know which way to jump in making comments - there are so many possibilities.

A slightly important headline: Brexit: UK can unilaterally revoke article 50, says EU court Britain can stop the Brexit process without approval from member states, rules ECJ

Somehow, probably to do with my opinions on brexit, I find difficult to see the potential for riots depending on leaving or remaining in the same light. There seems to be a threat implicit in riots if no brexit. There seems to be a prediction that the consequences of brexit will cause riots if...

Shame Boris didn't go somewhere that gave him some sense rather than removed some hair. [Edited to remove reference to character who is usually today discussed as a pantomime villain rather than a real threat.]

There is a great deal (ha!) of perverted logic going on. It isn't the rejection of this deal per se that causes all these bad things. It is rejecting (or, I suggest, even accepting) this deal AND pig-headedly denying that remain is a better option - or even an option. Theresa May’s Brexit...

Thanks Tom. Yes, I have personally been aware of the second definition since schooldays - when the term was thrown around like many others. Someone very close suffered so severely from even temporary thyroid deficiency that the word now has extremely negative "baggage". Both physical and mental...

Given how we might describe TM and her government, there really isn't even a vestige of Maidenhead.

Tom, I am sure you don't mean it, but the word "cretin", used as an insult, is really not very pleasant. Having been involved in thyroid issues for quite a lot of years now, I find myself thinking of those who have suffered from inadequate thyroid hormone. I'll not keep saying this, if you...

Sometimes we read a line or two that says something important, strongly and clearly. They’re chasing May’s leadership – but statesmanship is what we need now Matthew d'Ancona Our politicians are failing to rise to the challenge of finding a calm solution to the Brexit crisis in...

The issue about chlorinated chicken isn't, as you seem to think, the trace amount of chlorine present in the product.

However, despite the huge improvements achieved, batteries are still pretty darned heavy and take quite some time to recharge. It doesn't take much to imagine using hydrogen as a much lighter way of storing a given amount of energy and, potentially, much faster "charging" - whether that uses...

Have you seen the millions of vehicles in the UK displaying the EU flag? [ Added ... ] Why we even have police cars with EU flags on them! (And what might pass as the regional flag of Bayern on the bonnet.)

Just checked brexit in that home of warm and cuddly words, Urban Dictionary. One definition: Brexit A specific type of fart; the kind emitted in the naïve belief it's "better out than in", but which has disastrous, unforeseen repercussions. Be warned of the extreme language widely used on that...

Makes rather more sense than much of Nostradamus' work! :)

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will." [1] So they took it away, and were married next day By the Turkey who lives on the hill. [2] They dined on mince, and slices of quince, [3] Which they ate with a runcible spoon; [4] And hand...

Contains the line " What I tell you three times is true." only once. Whereas "Just the place for a Snark!" is said thrice. And claimed to be true by virtue of that.

If, and I say this whilst openly admitting I don't know what will actually happen, there are serious issues with food and medicine supplies, Paris could look like a kindergarten. If Kent ends up as a lorry park will all those affected do nothing?

Our MPs have, over the years, quite regularly voted for policies which would never have been agreed to in a plebiscite. Even such mundane issues as tax rates. We do not have delegates but representatives - an important distinction. Wrecking of brexit has only occurred by the way it was...

Not the only restoration that was done, there's also...
