    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Watch out for Russian submarines! Putin could be out to get you.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why? There is no uncorrupt elsewhere as I've made clear. Nonsense, why does a little while ago make something ok? Not long ago you were quoting very old actions against the USSR and Stalin, but now our Western crimes, including much more recently in the Balkans and Iraq are ok? You are the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Livinenko was clearly wrong here. As our Western poll confirmed, Putin in the election has the support of at least 70% of the Russian people. Hardly surprising when they enjoy the highest living standards ever in Russian history. Why ask this? Didn't I just post this? They've lied to us...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That too of course. Russia as partners in the EU and NATO would have been very bad news for the defence industry, not just ours but the huge US and French ones too. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The world might not need them, but Russia certainly needs Putin. Remember who the USA put into that post, the drunken idiot Yeltsin who brought the country to its knees. Remember again that Putin years ago expressed interest in joining the EU and NATO, but the West preferred an enemy. We are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You've just added Macron after I answered. I didn't mention Macron in my fake news post, only the UK announcement. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How can it be vice versa when it was the UK who issued a dud story and then had to amend it? That only had one guilty party. It's a UK bad habit, Theresa May saying Salisbury was a Novichoc before Porton Down had been asked to identify it, the false releases after Litvinenko was poisoned, then...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why trust ours more? Immediately after this supposed gas attack in Syria the first UK release said it was chlorine mixed with a nerve gas agent, clearly trying to implicate Russia. But then they backed down once they knew inspectors were going in to check, revising it to chlorine only. There...

    No-one. They all lie whenever it's more convenient than telling the truth. .

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Thanks for the update Ted. I think there is still some misunderstanding in both replies. A waiver is not a change in the law, it's merely a temporary permission/advice for the police to not implement that law, pending an anticipated change in the law at some future date. The justifiable basis...

    In the street vernacular, the latter would still be pigs flying over the conservative's houses. ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Rather than us persuading the EU to join the Commonwealth, it's more likely the EU could persuade the Commonwealth to join the EU, thus blocking us from doing individual trade deals with them! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, it's the only acceptable solution to the Irish border problem. They need to hurry up to say so though, two shipping companies have already set up direct routes from Eire to The Netherlands, one with a brand new ship, anticipating a hard Northern Ireland border. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely, the UK's attempts to prove they are right on this issue get more pathetic with each attempt. If Russia wanted to try out an agent they could try it in Russia, if targeting Yulia that could be using her door handles there since it's where she lives. The only part that probably is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The crucial words are "if they suspect". They can just say they didn't suspect after preliminary investigation and ignore accusations of crime at any level. Current instances in the news probably sitting different sides of the fence of guilt/innocence are those of Sir Cyril Smith and Sir Cliff...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not so sure of your last sentence. The police do have discretion and often use it, both not to act or to issue a warning either verbally or by post. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, I often remind that the RAF's first mission post WW1 was to bomb the Kurds with mustard gas in 1922. That was to deal with their demonstrations when we refused to represent them in talks about dividing up the region. When Saddam Hussein, an army officer who had studied British military...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's what I was alluding to. It will be interesting to see how many Brexiters are committed enough to kick up a fuss. .

    When to give way..

    Perhaps, until you meet the psycho who deliberately knocks you off in anger at your notice, then steals the camera after giving you a kicking as you lie on the ground. Such things happen and there are such people, anything that can provoke is unwise. .
