Yes, my sister lived there for several years, but visa restrictions meant she could only stay six months at a time. The other six months each year including the monsoon season was spent high in the mountains of Pakistan using that restricted visa. .

It's far more than a suspicion, indeed it's not actually intended to go to those who need it. As OG says, foreign aid is bribing to get business and political favour and long has been, so the aid goes to the recipient's wealthy establishment, it's why they became wealthy. No point in giving...

It's being stripped to the waist. .

I agree and said so at the time, it was indeed a shock, but the tiny margin was encouraging since it invigorated we Remainers. We always knew that the Leaver mantra that the 69% of the country only voted for a Common Market and not an EU wasn't true, and the referendum result proved it...

True enough, shows we can get one thing wrong. :oops: .

I believe most of this effect is cyclic with us increasing it somewhat. The effects will be quite serious though, rising sea levels mean we will lose quite a lot of inhabitable and arable lands that the world can ill afford to lose and some small populations on low lying lands and islands will...

This is why I forecasted in a recent post that Remain would win a second referendum by a large margin. I believe many leavers are sufficiently disappointed by the outcome at present that they'll not bother to vote again. Meanwhile the Remainers who didn't vote last time through complacently...

Yes that is the case in this incidence, on behalf of British Sugar who apparently have the licence for it. The land was previously used to grow tomatoes. .

I've just listened to an expert in these matters within a BBC Radio 4 program in the i-player say new hurried agreements would be necessary to allow UK-EU flights to continue, and that they could be limited to just some routes with some not included for national reasons. The whole 30 minute...

That is completely untrue, the promise was repeatedly made and is still being made by the Leave leader and it was as firm as any promise ever could be. And you are even arguing against yourself, since Theresa May saying Leave means Leave was not a promise by your standard since it was subject...

No, you are distorting events. At no time did the Leave campaigners ever indicate their promised outcome was a suggestion. It was intensively argued and publicised as a definite outcome, and still is by their leader, Boris Johnson. Whether either the Leave or Remain campaign leaders would...

She's just being loyal to her husband. ;) .

No, see my link above where Johnson made it a pledge. That's a synonym of promise of course, and the word promise is also used by the Leave campaigners in that link. .

No, you stick to the facts: "Nigel Farage has admitted that it was a "mistake" to promise that £350million a week would be spent on the NHS if the UK backed a Brexit vote. Speaking just an hour after the Leave vote was confirmed the Ukip leader said the money could not be guaranteed and...

Boris Johnson was the official leader of the Leave campaign, a member of the Tory party and approved by the Tory government in that role. He not only promised a fictitious £350 millions for the NHS but has continued to defend that statement ever since, despite it having no basis in fact. Ergo...

Bearing in mind that we've already under the misleadingly named Great Repeal Bill written all the EU laws we have into UK law, perhaps the whole handling of Brexit was secretly intended to keep us in the EU. That was after all what the great majority of parliament and the British, American and...

I bet for every one of those the pedestrian deaths were in double figures at least. .

Though May will hope to defeat it, so to her and her supporters it's a confidence vote. .

Yes, pigs are extremely intelligent, the most so resident in the farm yard. .

Shouldn't all pedestrians have them too? After all, they are the ones most likely to be run over. .
