And that has problems built in, since Russia and China are on very friendly terms these days, and UK - China relations are good. It'll be difficult for Trump to act firmly against China while keeping on the right side of Russia. .

Political appointment is built into their justice system at every level, from local police chiefs to the very top, as in this instance. As with their political positions, judicial policies can be bought there. .

Wouldn't you like a nice wide east to west Antonine ditch and charge every ship that wants to sail through it? :) .

The press are a menace. They claim to speak for the truth but really only concern themselves with populism for circulation's sake. The long term decline in circulations and competition from TV and the internet has intensified that attitude, it being a fight for survival and job preservation. .

It's really sad that such bigoted attitudes still persist, and I'm sorry you had to put up with that unpleasant experience. Many have had such attitudes for years so it can be unconnected with Brexit. It may have reinforced the bigotry and racism in some but I doubt it initiated it. . .

No need to elaborate. Many decades ago our service engineers had to go to a machine in a large biscuit factory with huge numbers of women in the area. They were all terrified of getting that call out, knowing how they would be jumped on at arrival. :eek: .

You know the saying, "If rape is inevitable, lay back etc - - -" .

Wouldn't in-depth research have been more satisfying? .

Turn Hadrian's Wall or the Antonine line into a big money earning canal, Panama Canal style, making Scotland an island nation within the EU. .

This midday's news included a one report of a fall in consumer expenditure, put down to increasing concerns over the economy. So maybe the turnaround is beginning as people stretch their plastic too far or finish off cash reserves spent because they weren't earning decent interest and will...

What on earth is the Daily Express on about? The Russians created the worlds first nuclear powered ship, the ice-breaker NS Lenin, launched in 1957. Over the years they've altogether built 10 civilian nuclear powered ships, 9 of them icebreakers. The latest three are just bringing the fleet...

I do think he invites that though, the common man image. .

He was delighted and triumphant when the result was announced. But I bet the following day he had a feeling of anti-climax after so many years of campaigning. The contest can often be more enjoyable than a successful outcome. .

Or in posts mention 25+25cycles to avoid alerts. ;) .

I didn't. I said "Brexiters know so little of the subject", that means the Brexit subject in general. We've repeatedly been getting this false assumption about our liability for eurozone debts, when no such liability exists. And it's far from the only false assumption about our EU membership...

Congress and the Senate will no doubt, but rein, not reign. They wouldn't want him on a throne. ;) .

Why is it that Brexiters know so little of the subject? The UK outside of the eurozone is not in any way liable for any eurozone debts, so we could not and would not bale them out. .

I didn't say it was. Why can't you read what is posted? Your speculation was that Trump in some way had influence on that. .
