    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree with the tenor of your post 'daveboy' except for the part in parenthesis I have highlighted above. That is irrelevant and could be construed in a way that would offend decent-minded citizens. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How do zero hours contracts work in practice? This tweet is sufficient to let even the most unaware understand. This is the future unless we have a change of government away from the evil combination of oligarchic and plutocratic protection of the interests of the establishment to the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We know that already. You clearly have a problem absorbing factual information and cannot express yourself with any joined-up argument in favour of your lunatic notion that 'Brexit' might somehow be beneficial. It seems our modern education system has failed spectacularly if you are anything...

    No surprise there - you are a thoroughly dislikeable piece of work! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nope, you misunderstand; it is you who is a source of amusement rather than the forum and mis-spelling words here and there is no substitute for genuine humour, nor does it endear you to to those readers with an IQ in triple figures. You really are a consummate Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You missed out the word, 'wrongly' which fits between 'millions' and 'believe' or alternatively, between, 'believe' and 'we'. Tom

    Do you mean like Roosevelt's reference to the 7th December 1941, a date which will live in infamy? Tom

    Right! So, I can check that somewhere? The criteria must be written down somewhere so that everyone knows that you can't be a 'global player' if you're called Germany….or Italy or Ireland…(yawn). You know, I could be mistaken and by all means call me cynical but it strikes me that the 5...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose you could be right in that but only if you are a fan of warmongering or perhaps had some desire to revisit the Falklands. For all normal, inter-continental travel purposes we tend to use aircraft nowadays; perhaps you've heard of those? I'm a little perplexed by the expression, 'a...

    Absolutely! In the case of Gib, the only useful function it has now is as a handy filling station for LGBs…….that's an Americanism, an acronym for big naval vessels (Large Grey Boats). Other than that, it's a convenient point from which to record the vessels that sail through the straits every...

    Having an Irish mother Dan, you'll understand that she taught me lots of things, far too numerous to list here but this is a typical selection: Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So little knowledge! I have actually been there on more than one occasion and inside the rock during a major NATO exercise, so perhaps you'd like to explain exactly how Gib is important to the UK nowadays? Besides my good self, most certainly, the Spanish, the Americans and the Russians to...

    I rarely disagree with you 'flecc' but on this occasion, I must make an exception as I rather enjoy cricket. I do concede that there are times when it can become tedious but the skill and the athleticism of the participants is a joy to watch at times and that makes it worthwhile for me. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suggested yesterday that Gibraltar might be a problem and on reading some more recent news, it look as though Spain may well be taking a hard line on the matter. That aside, in the BBC propaganda website coverage online, they displayed a view of the airstrip in Gib with this caption...

    Ye gods! You just go from bad to worse. You seem to have a real problem interfacing with grown-ups. If only we hadn't closed so many mental health facilities in favour of care in the community! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ease up 'wheeler'; it's all he's got as he is unable to justify or explain 'Brexit'. Moreover, he is singularly unable to offer any insight as to how 'Brexit' might benefit the ordinary British people, just like all the other fans of the extreme-right who show their colours in these pages. As...
