    Hardly, this isn't King's first outburst of this kind, and like last time, it's sour grapes. He was with the Bank in various posts for almost 25 years including ten years in charge and resented being replaced by Mark Carney when the government lost faith in him. .

    We can't compete with the Orient in the mass market. We can make a Brompton which sells in small quantities at premium prices, but we can't make huge numbers of Dahons at low prices. So the high end market potentially suits us better, but it's already fully occupied by recognised others in...

    If we do that they'll stop buying our stuff The 27 EU countries share their loss but we lose all of ours. They can each shrug off their small share, we'd be crippled. .

    Face masks...

    Utterly ridiculous of the head teacher to claim 11 to 16 year olds were frightened, what are we raising, wimps? Have all involved never seen a cycle mask, a face mask worn when suffering a cold or a balaclava? And if the officer thought a man should remove a face mask, what does he think a...

    Yes, the English brought two differences, the super hot curry which was nothing more than a showing off thing, and curries with huge chunks of meat in them. The English curry philosophy is wrong, regarding the curry as the main element and the rice as an incidental. To an Indian the rice is...

    Yes I knew, we perverted its meaning just as we did currys. My sister wanted a window so when going to Pakistan she called in a local builder and showed where she wanted a window installed to see the view. On return six months later no window was visible outside, but when she entered, there...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd have agreed but for this last line. We can leave, no problem, but we can't be better off than being a member. The EU told us that very firmly and clearly before we voted, so we knew the position in advance and Leavers shouldn't have believed different. .

    There's a precedent for this from the legalisation of homosexuality long ago. In 1954 the government of the day appointed Lord Wolfenden to hold an inquiry and report, guaranteeing that they would respect his finding. Then in 1957 he reported in favour of legalisation. But the government then...
