I agreed with almost all your post, but I don't think this last part has any relationship to hysteria. I believe it simply reflects relief that a moderate remainer has taken the top office, and not a full blown Brexiter like Michael Gove. The reading of the market is probably like mine, that...

No Rob, I don't mean that, I know exactly what I mean and I am not a leave denier. I believe we will hand in article 50 notice and formally leave the EU. But I also think that departure will take the form I indicated. My reason for that is the way the departure is being delayed by Theresa...

Meaningless statement, of course she will say that, so would whoever took over as PM. The Conservatives have a divided party, mostly pro-Eu but a substantial and influential faction anti EU. Her difficult job is to unite them enough to stop the fierce squabbling that has plagued them for so...

Departing from xenophobia and our UK star's achievements, I was also delighted by Portugal winning the Euro football final on Sunday. Portugal has been going though such a rough time of late that it was good that they at last had something to celebrate and unite over. London's "Little...

When Johnson was elected London's mayor he immediately pursued the populist idea of a replacement Routenmaster open rear platform bus, against all professional advice. Open rear platforms, once acceptable on the pre-war RT buses had proved unsafe with with the higher speed RM buses so had been...

Yes, you have my formal permission to stop using my thread now. And what long responses you've all made, an average of only 10 posts per page! .

Please, not another night in the cells officer - - - - .

In politics I wouldn't expect it from one day to the next. :rolleyes: Interesting contrast though from two female Conservative leaders. .

Theresa May yesterday: "The Conservative party supports society" Margaret Thatcher, 31st October 1987: "There is no such thing as society" Don't you just love consistency? .

Indeed, the only one that was ever acted on was the one that was almost meaningless. The Norwegian government asked their people if they wanted to take the final step into the EU, but they said no. So they were left in their "almost in" position. .

In the past it would have been best played as a "Carry On" comedy: Kenneth Williams as Nigel Farage Charles Hawtrey as Michael Gove Sid James with a blond wig as Boris Johnson. .

This is exactly my position in this. I'm not concerned for the journalist who has more than adequately defended herself. My concern has been to publicise the disgraceful behaviour of Leadsome, since, as this thread shows, many are unaware of it. I never want someone like her to hold high...

That was not all she did though. Having been criticised by colleagues for what she said, she constructed a completely false account of how the reporter had led her into talking about her children and encouraged her into a trap. Then to emphasise that she made a formal complaint to the...

I don't understand why you are maintaining this position Rob. The recording was put into the public arena and I've listened to it. That Leadsome defamed the reporter is a fact. That it was far beyond any normal political lie to defame an innocent person doing their job is also obvious. .

Blaming an entirely innocent outsider is far more than that, it was thoroughly despicable behaviour, showing how unfit for high office Andrea Leadsome is. Imagine if that female reporter had not kept a recording of the interview, where would have that left her editor? On the one hand the...

I explained in detail in this post. .

I think they are using SATNAVs as an excuse to save money, just assuming people don't need signage so much now. .

Trump is all wind, he makes a lot of noise but it won't amount to anything. We've already seen him backing off from many statements in order to get accepted as the nominee, and I'm sure that will be his style if he gets into office. Lots of noise, little results. . He doesn't seem to realise...

What a disreputable lot the Brexit lead campaigners have turned out to be, all of them promising to lead us into a better future outside of the EU. So when they won the referendum, what did they do? Nigel Farage immediately retired. Boris Johnson in typical style reneged and ducked out of...
