    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Everywhere I look on the internet, there seems to be a recent poll. Who funds all these organisations full of people who really ought to have proper jobs where they do something useful? This one is from last week...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Irish Times, a news organ perhaps a little more objective than those British-based examples, has this view on matters: brexit-shows-that-idiots-and-incompetents-are-in-charge-in-the-uk-1.3693980 They'll get no argument from me! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I really don't pay any attention to polls as the only real test of public opinion is delivered when a national referendum or election is conducted. That said, this less than scientific poll conducted from a Facebook site has produced an incredible result; so incredible that I think the site...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I do indeed 'flecc'! It hasn't escaped my notice that both the tory attendees today, along with the pink tories and that man for all seasons, Vince Cable, (he might still be a laughable demorat but one can never be certain as he changes his politics so often.) The Crombie overcoat of course...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The tabloid press has taken exception to JC's choice of coat today. Indeed, there is a note of outrage about the matter, which is rather strange…….. Perhaps Corbyn prefers not to spend the thick end of a grand on a coat that he would only wear on a handful of occasions each year. I like the...

    More 'Brexit' news here: brexiteers-livid-bloody-fight-bruges-group-conference-brexit Even now, they refuse to accept responsibility for the destabilisation of the UK's economy and currency devaluation. It's way past time to re-do the silly referendum. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Are we supposed to be grateful? Anything short of rejecting 'Brexit' in any shape or form is akin to thanking one's torturer for only chopping off one arm instead of both. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    On this poignant day, I remember that Harry Patch said this a few years ago about how the political class abused ordinary people through their warmongering that resulted (every time) in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, sometimes multi-millions of ordinary people, both those in uniform and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This badge illustrates exactly the position adopted by the 'Brexit' proponents and all those who believe that being British makes the UK superior to all other nationalities: What kind of democracy is that? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, I have noted previously that you have a predilection for supporting the establishment and repeatedly supporting the notion that 'Brexit' in one form or another might be a really good thing for the UK. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The progress of the 'Brexit' fiasco may be brought to a halt for a reason of which I wasn't aware. The attached article explains: https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/arron-banks-criminal-investigation-brexit-vote-void/?fbclid=IwAR19Gcw_74-PeHI44KC8cu7Zh9ewoToWn28A_L00h4scnMUdZRKCL192Jwg Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I stopped watching QT quite some time ago on account of Dimbleby's overt favouring of establishment characters compared to those whose politics are left of centre. Whether or not he has any input into the composition of the panels or audiences is somewhat irrelevant to me as the whole...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I like these images from elsewhere on the net connected in one way or another with 'Brexit' and/or British government policies: Then there is this which neatly describes many of the world's problems: …..and how do you know when things have become really bad? "You know things are really...

    I wish I were as confident as you 'flecc' that this tale is crackpot. I fear there is more than a little truth contained therein but regardless of that, I am not at all convinced that fracking on the British mainland is a good idea. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What has 'fracking' got to do with our intention of exiting the EU? A read through this article might inform you more than any government propaganda about both the dangers of 'fracking' and the way the issue of nuclear waste disposal is tied to it. Interestingly, the UK has used the nuclear...
