    What a staggering failure to appreciate the impact of brexit. BBC News about changing shipping routes to avoid blockages. Yes - let the ferries go to different ports. Instead of Calais, go to, umm, somewhere else. Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome. Who cares that the lorries they are...

    Those who have read my posts/responses might realise that I am very involved in matters of the thyroid. I have seen the profound effects of insufficient thyroid hormone far too close to let use of the word "cretin" as a general insult pass un-noticed. Stepfather of boy with EU flag tells...

    No, not revert. As I understand, we've NEVER operated under WTO tariffs/rules. They only came into being as an organisation in 1995. So there is no returning about it. Under the Marrakesh Express, sorry, Agreement.

    Of course, that arithmetic almost certainly would change if the general election (mentioned earlier) did occur. Every constituency in which the tories run should field a tory (leave) and a tory (remain) candidate.

    In contrast to maybot in the Guardian, some sensible words: The People’s Vote march showed it’s not just leavers who are angry and patriotic Zoe Williams It’s becoming ever clearer that Brexit is a far-right project. No wonder so many people are taking to the streets So was the...

    We probably all know the mess that the elephant in the room caused on Blue Peter. I predict even more of a stinking pile... As for the Mayor of Gomorrah - sounds quite Irish, don't you think? (Not in any way suggesting any similarity in behaviour. It just seems to dance off the tongue to an...

    The atttiude of many on the leave side, that their word matters and the views of remainers don't, is ever so slightly hypocritical.

    That it does. I wonder if TM has found a wheatfield to enjoy in her copious free time? (Mind, think I might write the most complete memoir from a UK PM in history. Detailing each and every slimeball's words and actions.)

    What could have been interesting, if we had a referendum every week/fortnight/month from original 2016 thing through to now, indeed through to brexit, should it eventually occur The idea that the turnout on one day over two years ago has set everything in concrete is madness. With continuing...

    There is deep concern among thyroid patients that this will in practice change people from liothyronine to levothyroxine (for one example). Medicines that only the ignorant would assume are the same but we have seen many times over the years both pharmacists and doctors insisting they are...
