    Who's to blame?

    I think much depends on whether you have permission to park the bike in the office. If you do have management permission, then you should have no liability for the consequences of the coat falling off the rack. In this instance any dispute would be between the coat owner and the management...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm quite sure Labour haven't wanted to be in power during the Brexit debacle, who in their right minds would want to be? So much easier to let the Tories take all the fallout and then try for power after some resolution. The tactic of leaving the Tories to do the trade negotiations while...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having some time on my hands yesterday I went back 7 pages in this thread and listened to your video. What a waste of time that was, one long arm waving, gurning rant about how badly he's been treated. Three quarters way through I couldn't stand his repetitive nonsense any more and gave up...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, the Beeb reported it a day earlier. They would normally have got a carbon credit from the EU for the carbon savings they made, which would cover this cost. Due to the still existing threat of us walking out without a deal, all such payments are frozen at present, leaving British Steel...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt that propaganda was the intention, but selling their paper was. Lobby Lud was invented by the long defunct Westminster Gazette. It was a seaside town competition created because people on holiday were known to be less likely to buy a newspaper. The £5 then was worth about £290 today...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes indeed we should learn from history, even the most recent: Learn: that the referendum was a bad disruptive idea. Move on: to parliament making such decisions. Forget: the failed notion of blindly leaving the EU. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That he uses five completely different full names, has belonged to some extremist organisations and has even travelled on someone elses passport, a criminal offence, are not unsubstantiated ill-informed claims. They are facts, so please stop trying to convince me that he is a reputable person...

    You really do fall for things, even such a stupid press gimmick like this. No wonder you are impressed by "Tommy Robinson". .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Strange how the two ardent followers of his that I mentioned are so convinced that he is, suiting their views. They've been following his utterances for a very long time. It's not one thing I don't know about him, I know very little about him. What I do know is that any number of independent...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I haven't used at least two names, I use one. My online name is merely an abbreviation of my name. Not online names. He has used five completely different first and surname pairs, clearly representing himself as five different people. Honest people don't do that. .

    Trump as usual should have done his homework before opening his mouth. Democrat voting areas of the USA already have the most immigrant residents. That's why they vote democratic! A few more won't worry them. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, I had posted a correction earlier. It was a death penalty that survived the past bans on that, and why a London prison still has a maintained working gallows. It seems the authorities went soft in 1998, perhaps out of guilt after passing two laws in 1994 and 1996 which aimed to increase...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So is that an argument for scrapping all laws and regulations or ignoring them? Obviously there has to be regulation, but in a country like ours there are millions of opinions about what the law should be. No matter what they are, there will be many disagreeing. It's inevitable that law...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I didn't need to watch, didn't I say that I knew how the media manipulate? In other words, I accepted what you'd posted but don't think it important since it's what has always happened, again as I posted. These are not conspiracies, they are just common practice which we all know. I have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In saying he has used five different names I'm not repeating anything the media have told me. I made the observation that his use of five completely different names makes him a dishonest person. In fact I've read or heard almost nothing about him in the media since he doesn't interest me. I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Nobel Peace Prize has become somewhat a joke. Yasser Arafat, Yitzak Rabin and Shimon Perez got one for the peace they brought to Israel and Palestine, despite its invisibility. George W Bush and Tony Bair have been repeatedly nominated for one by the Nobel Committee, though fortunately...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You seem like a conspiracy theorist to me, looking for any suspected establishment conspiracies against the "little man". I'm not, I'm just a realist who's always been aware the media manipulate to fit their own agenda. Newspapers have been doing it for almost two centuries and political...
