This morning the Guardian has an article by a Der Spiegel journalist: Britain has never looked so foolish in the world’s eyes Jan Fleischhauer It’s symptomatic of Britain’s decline when a man such as Boris Johnson is regarded as one of its clearest thinkers I have always admired the...

I find it difficult to care about NI being part of the UK or not as follows: First, the people of NI should be the primary choosers; Second, I want the rump UK (or just Wales, as that is where I am!) to have a good, cordial relationship with the whole of Ireland whether in one or two lumps...

I don't actually see what basis tommie has for disagreeing with this post? He can choose not to believe. Or dislike. Or object to offensive language. But how do you disagree with statements of fact?

I've certainly sauntered round Peckham - at night - not for a while now because I no longer have any reason. It was our next-door neighbour in another place, well outside London, who got shot in his front garden. (Only fairly minor injury.)

Seems to be true, it is the Dutch who jump ditches...

In time, you just might come to realise that the whole UK lost. Even if leaving the EU were, by some miracle, seen to be "a good thing", the way it has been handled, rather mis-handled, will result in an awful lot of bad things.

I did not watch, biut did see a brief snippet quoted on the news. Andrew Marr’s handling of Arron Banks was pathetic – and damaging Andrew Adonis I don’t criticise the BBC lightly or with any joy. But its policy of Brexit ‘balance’ has led to catastrophically bad decisions...

No guarantee that the lights will stay on post brexit, though. :D

Yet more cost - financial and in many other ways - of brexit: Metropolitan police rush to set up no-deal Brexit 'safety net unit' Exclusive: £2.4m unit set up after warnings over loss of access to EU policing tools A “no deal safety net unit” is being rushed through by Scotland Yard at a...

The Irish have long had a fearsome reputation for their prodigious ability to dig - navigations and railways in the UK being prime examples.

No - the EU absolutely does NOT want a hard border. It is just the natural, logical consequence of brexit. Which was, so we are told, the choice of the UK population.

Just try to imagine the civil unrest that could occur if the worst consequences of brexit occurred: Food shortages Medicines shortages Large numbers of job losses Serious reduction in value of sterling Untold holidays in Europe cancelled UK MEPs out of work

I suspect at least £350 million a week. (Supplied by "Numbers plucked out of the air with no justification (Holdings) Limited", or was that Inc.?)

The political comment in the Guardian on Marr/Banks. I have only included the one paragraph - there is quite a lot more. Arron Banks: 'no Russian money' in £8m given to Brexit campaign Founder of Leave.EU tells BBC donations came from his own bank account After a spat over a bank...

Where is the ha-bloody-ha button? :)

But Arron Banks wants us to believe the money came from the UK company - which is why I went to Companies House to see what information was there.

I looked that up on Companies House and was scratching my head!

From Guardian's report on Arron Banks' appearance this morning: Banks also said he stood by a comment in the Sunday Times this week that he would now vote to remain in the EU, blaming the “corruption” in British politics. “The sewer that exists, the disgraceful behaviour of the government in...

But you can (as I understand) only gain redemption from Limbo if you are one of the just. Which doesn't bode well. :(

Support for a second referendum from this quarter might be a mixed blessing: Tony Blair urges MPs to vote down any Brexit deal and push for people's vote Former Labour leader says there is no outcome Theresa May can secure that will be good for the country
