    I can't remember being under fire from Germans, French or Italians…….'blue on blue' is not uncommon, working closely with our American 'friends' though. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What's to learn 'RobF'? Are you suddenly about to reveal whatever it is you think those who voted to remain have missed with regard to the EU? Do you actually know something we don't after nearly 40,000 posts in this thread? Please be my guest and explain the benefits of non-membership of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's good to see in the news today that the British spy non-spy, Matthew Hedges, has been pardoned by the UAE. I feel better now about the possibility of returning to education as a mature student and studying for a PhD, researching a foreign country's security strategy for my thesis...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How has the EU made it 'so difficult'? Is it not the case that the UK government wants to secede from the EU but wants to have a 'deal', for want of a better expression? There is nothing at all to prevent the UK from simply walking away, terminating its direct debit and facing the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Never 'oyster'; it was, and remains, occupied by Great Britain and is ruled from Westminster most of the time as their appointed local agents are incapable of administering the region. Parallels can be drawn with pre-reformed S. Africa and with Palestine, apartheid still very much in evidence...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I love this image! It purports to be the box arrived at in the Noel Edmunds TV show but I see it as a 21st-century version of Pandora's box, which beautifully portrays the future for the British people if we continue towards the madness of 'Brexit'. I think this is a good moment to reprise...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is news today of grave concern over standards acceptable to a UK body but being found unacceptable elsewhere. This does not bode well for the UK and for those people in need of the kind of medical devices referred to in the report. It follows that outside of the EU, the UK may be worse...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Those who have supported the 'Remain' cause will not look in the least stupid for they will have remained true to the greatest geopolitical initiative the world has ever seen; an initiative rooted in peace, with historic, international enemies forming new, common bonds, trading by mutual...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not at all true! To be factual, your piece should read: 'For most people in England, they want a deal done…etc' From recent opinion polls, it appears that Scotland, NI & Wales plus Gibraltar, would prefer to remain inside the EU. Tom
