    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not people that I consider offenders - people convicted of VERY serious crime and attacking other offenders and prison officers. How about Abedi - stabbed and scalded 4 prison officers with hot oil. Not his first asssult of guards either. I think he has another conviction for that prior to his...

    Just listening to this BBC radio programme about the way an address had to be drafted for the President to deliver in the event that the first moon landing astronauts could not be returned to earth. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct5yr2 Quite an interesting listen, but I was thinking had a...

    WRONG. They seem to be running away from the dangers of France. We do provide routes for asylum. They just ignored them. in the last couple of years we received 12000 'asylum seekers' from Albania, many of them criminals. Albanians are now a major headache for police running prostitution and...

    It's not abuse at all. Simply a statement of fact. Anyway - how dare you complain. It is only a few days since you called me a follower of Enoch Powel for daring to question uncontrolled migration...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We don't have 'uncontrolled capitalism'. What are you talking about? Business operates in a straight jacket of regulations of all kinds. I don't object to most of the regulation. The post above is so full of stupid errors that I scarcely know where to start in straightening you out...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Norway is now vastly wealthy from its oil bonanza and small population and the fact that its politicians wisely invested the proceeds in a national wealth fund. Unlike the Saudis, the money was not squirrelled into the coffers of a head chopping elite. Sweden and social cohesion and contentment...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And - Marxist and neo-Marxist historians argue that rich landowners used their control of state processes to appropriate public land for their private benefit. This created a landless working class that provided the labour required in the new industries developing in the north of England. For...

    It was capitalism which enabled human advancement. Consider how life was for those who lived prior to the advent of capitalism. Thousands of generations lived as hunter gatherers, wandering the planet, looking for sustenance, mates, and shelter. We were given NOTHING without making the effort...

    DELIBERATELY made by democratically elected Parliaments of both Labour and Conservative type. At every change of government, it was open to Chancellors to repeal, change or grant new exemptions.

    Tax avoidance is entirely legal and proper. It exactly follows the rules set out by a succession of chancellors. Do you have an ISA? Do you, or did you contribute to a pension scheme? Might your children benefit from inheritance tax exemptions when you die and your house is sold? Have you...

    The Brompton has all the faults you describe Jonathan, but I think Andrew Ritchie - its designer was focused on creating a folding bike which could collapse into the neatest, and smallest package for taking on public transport, or into an office or small urban flat. I note that they now make a...

    Patronising, nonsense and balderdash. You regularly show how much you despise your fellow citizens, exuding the hideous arrogance of the left, in the way you describe the ordinary people as if they were large children in need of constant guidance by people with wisdom -like you. Dictatorial...

    why is this even up for debate?

    I just watched two programmes about this case of the missing cyclist on Iplayer. Both the circumstances and the wickedness of the actions carried out by the McKellar brothers on the night of Tony Parson's death and afterwards seem even more horrible when presented in the documentary. They would...
