That's why I posted "largely assures the smooth flow of traffic" . So not completely solved, but very much better. .

Yes, it immediately solves the backstop/Irish Border problem, and largely assures the smooth flow of traffic between us and mainland Europe. But of course remaining in does that and much more. .

But once again, Blair's New Labour party was not Labour. Keir Hardy's Labour party was a socialist one, Blairs was not. It was Tory by another name, hence the swindling of the working people you complain of. .

He's promised to nationalise Rail and Water. It's worth electing him for that alone. He's had enough of both to get huge acclaim from many, with them even singing his name en masse. I can't remember anything equivalent for Cameron or May and I don't care what the right wing press or their...

And all the Tory A levels, university educations and top private schools have born fruit for us currently? I've just mentioned the late Aneurin Bevan, one of our greatest politicians with a lasting record of achievement in office: "Bevan did poorly at school and his academic performance was...

Brown and Blair were New Labour, pseudo Tories and reckless. .

Once again I remind you to answer what I posted, not what you imagine I did. I said the left wingers in Attlee's government, not Attlee, and there was nothing pragmatic about the likes of Aneurin Bevan for example. .

The most radical thing he wants to do is put Rail and Water back in state ownership, and his MPs support him in that. I can't understand why so many in here have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the right wing media into thinking Corbyn is a bogeyman. In truth he's no different from...

The majority are so scared of No Deal that they'd probably rather risk a GE than have us crash out. .

Absolutely, change the language and attitudes, it always annoys when I see or hear comments about "battling through traffic" or "fighting for road space". Likewise I dislike the unqualified mantra "speed kills". That sort of language shows wrong attitudes. In my world and language we...

Hush, you're not supposed to post that! Every terrorist in the country will be looking it up on maps right now. :oops: .

I do trust that he wouldn't make the disastrous mistake Blair did with the Iraq war. Most of the "emergencies" are nothing of the sort and don't require any military action. It's only a certain right wing mentality that sees war as any sort of solution. .

You've clearly been brainwashed by the right wing media, Jeremy Corbyn is no further left wing than members of the Attlee government that did so much good post war. This country is in real need of change in in its governance after the immense harm and social imbalance of decades of both Tory...

Sad news. .

Indeed, and it's why I'd be happy for Jeremy Corbyn to head a Labour government for a five year term, since he intends to nationalise rail and water utilities, a thoroughly good thing. Returning the prison system to government control would also be better than the mess we have now, but he's...

Indeed. A bit like the letters in local newspapers complaining about pavement cycling. The correspondents invariably claim to have seen many people knocked down on pavements, while in my long life, mostly in urban areas, I've never seen a single collision between a cyclist and pedestrian on a...

That's the point of my post! we should do as Germany has first. Then if we succeed, leave the EU knowing we'd be ok. If we fail as we probably would, remain in the EU. .

Number plates for all bikes has been tried elsewhere and has always failed and been dropped. There are too many problems, for example children of all ages ride bikes too and the law specifically excludes all under 16 from penalties for pavement riding. And it is not illegal to ride bikes on...

Or similarly as I've posted previously. Since Germany has no trouble within the EU exporting worldwide and maintaining an economy in surplus, if we think we can exist outside, let's first do like Germany to prove it. Then leave the EU if we prove it, or drop the idea if we can't. Just leaving...

Strange that the best railways in the world are by far the nationalised ones and privately run ones have always included some of the worst. .
