I don't think this is true. Whatever the outcome I would respect the result of another referendum now, if properly run. It would be based on the public knowing much more about the issues and I'm sure most would also respect its result. Neither were true last time, it was disgracefully run by...

It might surprise you, but I agree with all of that. I'm all for leaving business to do what it does best and government using the resultant income to run a fair society. The two snags for me though are first, that our governments fall down on the last part, and second, that in a free trade...

No contortions or theories about the shambles of the British and UK structures. There are experts on these historic and present matters, far more knowledgeable than me about them. Perhaps you should tell them their minds are contorted. Meanwhile I prefer to be guided by them and the...

Indeed, it's inherent socialism! Socialism has always existed as a fact, even before being named as such. .

I also read that but frankly don't believe it. The elderly have always cycled there in large numbers and their traditional bike is known as an Omafiets (grandma's bike). They even have specific names for the bike types for various elderly people. .

Not so, they've got a fantastic cycling infrastructure and their cars have long been very restricted. The problem began when they accepted the S class high speed e-bikes and permitted them and mopeds to use the cycling provisions. That was frankly stupid and the outcome doesn't surprise...

Absent mindedly reversed the status! I trying to make the point that the DUP and its electorate are at odds over the EU, but it wasn't important so I deleted the post. .

Leaving is a very big issue for me, but at the last GE that horse had bolted thanks to the referendum. Therefore the next priorities came into place, getting rid of Barlow and nationalising the railways and water supplies. Voting LibDem would just have been tokenism at that time. No dual...

A family is totally different. The UK, Great Britain and Britain are shambolic setups. Countries are made up of areas, whether they be named states, counties or any other zone name. But Britain which was originally one country including the Principality of Wales is now said to be a country...

1922 in the current six counties form. .

For the time being, a temporary arrangement. .

Yes they are, you seem to be confusing socialism with communism, socialism doesn't preclude the market economy, it makes use of it to good effect. Thus in those countries far greater than half of earned incomes from the market economy are spent not by the person but by the socialist state for...

It's suspended after a very long absence, but it's been inactive so many times it's beginning to look unfit for purpose. An EU member, but a very large number of EU measures not passed into their law during the absences so in breach and technically liable to a whole range of large fines...

Not so, we can cast N.I. adrift any time we choose. There's a vast amount of precedent of giving up areas, transferring areas to other administrations etc. These often even ordered by those having no involvements in areas, often against the will of many of the residents. The Ukraine was...

For a host of reasons screens don't suffice when flying and can't protect against strike, but large bulbous ones are used in ground testing. Below is the Rolls Royce one:

I remember when the RAE at Farnborough created a chicken firing cannon long ago for like tests. They used to do a lot of damage too. I also think a drone could do considerable engine damage and the risk far too high to be chanced, especially on planes full of passengers. .

You don't want to join my new air force then? .

Just what I've been saying for a while now. It's why the Leavers are so terrified of another referendum, knowing they'd lose this time. .

No, no, no, the news about Gatwick is brilliant, a fantastic opportunity. Think about it, a swarm of drones able to crash incoming Russian bombers and cruise missiles, defence on the cheap, drones supplied by the public and operated by unpaid volunteers. This is David Cameron's Big Society in...

Despite her complaining of it in parliament, I bet Andrea Leadsome has been sorely tempted to mutter it of rival deal backer Amber Rudd. ;) .
