Margaret Thatcher thought destroying Britain's traditional firms would automatically result in modern manufacturing ones taking their place. She was spectacularly wrong of course, the replacing businesses being ephemeral ones in the unnecessary services sector, such firms as Party Ingredients...

Agreed, we haven't even created any AI yet, though many delude themselved into thinking we have. .

He's still right, but the people in power simply don't have what it takes to operate in the more scientific way he wants. He recognises that in his critique of them but offers no way to get them changed. .

I've had to give you a disagree since I don't understand why you can't see the sense in what Cummings is saying in that thread. I don't see he's off his head at all. But you are right that he's sabotaging the people he's working for. .

A pier. .

Sociopath or not, he's certainly right as this thread shows at the time. Hardly any in here understood the indivisibility of the Four Freedoms of the EU, or even what they were. Instead Leavers prattled on about controlling immigration from the EU while getting a good deal, not realising they...

The nearest was when home rule for Greenland began in 1979, it held a new referendum and voted to leave the EEC, as the EU was known then. But of course it was a territory and not a fully fledged country. They also had a tough departure experience, it wasn't completed until 1985, making our...

True, but the bridge users could get seasick. It would be the Millennium bridge writ large! .

Too long. Too deep. (Depth exceeding 275 m in the Beaufort’s Dyke in the North Channel.) .

I support this, it's what Theresa May should have done since it had been given to the public in the first instance. She should have said, " You were promised by the Leave campaign we'd leave with a deal and you voted for that in the referendum. Here's the best Leave deal the EU will give us...

Yes, it was a fabrication by Zlatan, who thought it an amusing jibe and hasn't let it go since. .

Because they won't accept the only deal possible. A sensible course to break the impasse would be to accept the deal, get on with the trade talks and then in the future work to further detach ourselves as a matter of policy. That's perfectly possible step by step over time through the...

The remainers have no victory of any kind, they lost the referendum vote. Getting a deal signed is not a victory, just a possible softening of their loss. Truly leaving after 44 years membership and integration was always impossible, so leavers were always doomed to a disappointing outcome...

I didn't say it was, but they consistently stated that we'd leave with an easy to get deal. Then when they won the government implemented exactly what they campaigned for, the easy to get deal. Then many of the Leavers didn't like what they'd voted for and started the nonsense that leaving...

Nonsense. The Leave campaigners promised a deal, all saying it would be easy, and a deal you got according the the rules we'd agreed very long ago. No official Leave campaigner ever said we'd leave with No Deal and to claim No Deal was what people voted for is BS. .

They did honour the result by negotiating a departure deal conforming to the rules we agreed long ago, so they did not lie. Parliament has refused to accept the deal, but that isn't the government's fault. Indeed the government is still trying and it's likely the deal will soon be accepted...

Indicators aren't necessary to register an S class e-bike allowing 28 mph assist, but a stop light is. .

It isn't costing us £1 billion per month, but we are paying £1 billion per month meanwhile. Normally this has been compensated by our earnings from Europe and investments in us. But now with the uncertainties of Brexit we're losing out due to major drops in sales to them and the scale of...

PM. He will never go to goal for not requesting an extension. I don't understand why anyone is thinking he might. .

He'll just bluff it off in his usual manner, knowing how short most people's memories are. .
