My guess is that we will witness a vote of confidence in the next 48 hours which will bring about May's departure into the long grass. Tom

Seems like a justifiable grievance. Tom

This Cabinet meeting this afternoon seems to be turning into something of a marathon. Tom

This piece from the AAV website seems to me like a good summary of where we are this very day: Another Angry Voice - Posts After wasting away most of the Article 50 negotiation period Theresa May and the Tories have hastily cobbled together a draft Brexit agreement with the EU negotiators. But...

You just beat me to the punch with that one OG! The combination of stupidity and hypocrisy is unbeatable among the 'Brexidiots'……..'Yeah, of course we knew what we were voting for - you lost, get over it!' pmsl Tom

For many years, I have harboured strong misgivings about the British military and the control mechanisms under which our forces operate. My greatest concern is that the ethos of our combined military services is centred, not upon protecting the ordinary people of the UK, but ensuring above all...

Three types of ignorance……..I love this piece from 'The Irish Times': fintan-o-toole-historians-will-not-believe-sheer-ignorance-of-brexit-supporters-1.3695347 Tom

BBC lunchtime news just reported wages rising at fastest rate in a decade in 3 months to September. They “forgot” to mention NHS staff, teachers, firefighters & police have all seen huge real term pay cuts & the average real wage is now lower than 10 years ago! The BBC could have added the...

Well, that's a cause for celebration if you happen to be a multi-millionaire, I suppose. Of course, it might be just a bit of propaganda! Tom

Today is just like any other day but when one reads some of the sidebar news items, it seems that things are changing in many areas. For example, there are reports that the US dollar has risen against the Chinese yuan as American sanctions on China begin to bite. Curiously, that first $1Tn...

Consequences: Meanwhile, At least one foodstuff supplier is taking some pre-emptive action: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46191729 Tom

I'm glad it's not just me who sees it like that. It seems that almost every post by 'Woosh' contains some kind of 'second-best' or 'nearly-as-good' alternative to our current EU membership. It's as if he believes that the 'remain' camp, probably way over half the nation, will be appeased by...

Ah well, it goes with the territory, I suppose: Tom

They sense an opportunity to do damage and demonstrate their power; it's an expression of self-aggrandisement. Tom

Now I saw this as humorous but with an element of truth contained in it: Someone rather took exception to it and responded thus: Nadine Wylie As one of your ‘parents’, I feel I must disabuse you of this myth which is being perpetuated by both left and right. Ours is the generation raised...

Of course; I wouldn't expect anything else from you. Tom

Deliberate disinformation by the BBC and other mainstream media? Apparently, Jeremy Corbyn said that Labour can't stop 'Brexit' in the sense that his Party has no parliamentary authority and certainly no majority to so do. What he certainly did not say was that 'Brexit' could not be stopped...

I didn't actually pick up on those points 'flecc' then I got hung up trying to think of the name of the fellow on the left - the name Alec Douglas-Home eventually sprung to mind but I was astonished at the resemblance in this particular photo…….if you half-close your eyes and squint a bit, to...

We don't need to look back too far to see exactly how such a situation manifests itself, firstly against the people of a country but ultimately, the whole world. As for the UK's tory politicians and quite a few in other parties, Joseph Goebells identified a common trait thus: 'The essential...

Absolutely spot-on 'Tillson'! Tom
