The AAV web blogger expressed this view yesterday and highlights the additional pain for ordinary people that will be the nett effect of May's latest, despicable act of cowardice: Theresa May's cowardly efforts to move the goalposts by delaying the meaningful Brexit vote that she was about...

Channel 4's Ciaran Jenkins posted this list of approval ratings: Tom

This candid opinion of the worst PM ever seems very accurate and I can't find anything to argue about in it: Theresa May's cowardly move to shift the date of the 'Brexit' vote when it became clear that she was going to lose it (and her job) just proves what a cynical, self-serving, national...

Elsewhere on social media, much black humour abounds, particularly since the incompetent PM bottled the vote on her much-hyped 'deal' As analogies go, I like this one from one cynic: Tom

The share price of Interserve, one of the government's much vaunted private enterprise conglomerates has plummeted this morning. I wonder if we can expect another bail-out using taxpayers' money or whether their shareholders will help them back on their feet somehow? It really is difficult to...

I certainly couldn't criticise them for taking that view in the light of what we have all witnessed over the last two years in SW1. Tom

The Democratic Unionist Party exists to represent the views of those still clinging to the British political party which brought about the wars in Ireland that led to partition and the ensuing apartheid. It stands for the continuation of religious bigotry and ignores the lessons of history...

With regard to the article on Lord Kerr that I mentioned in my previous post, I chuckled at this from the man himself: “In Britain there was, among Euroskeptics, the theory that one was tied to one’s oar with no escape and rowing to the unknown destination of ever-closer union,” he said. “That...

Indeed it is 'oyster'! It isn't a surprise however as the EU has bent over backwards to accommodate the UK's desires in the matter of 'Brexit'. It's worth remembering that our Lord Kerr of Kinlochard, the author of that exit clause, told the government last year that we could withdraw...

In my ignorance, I researched the name Pascal Lamy, wondering if perhaps he was related to the Tottenham MP of a similar surname. On realising that the surnames are spelled differently, besides which there is a very slight difference in ethnicity between Pascal and our own David, I satisfied...

Yesterday, there were demonstrations on the streets of the capital. People used social media to highlight parts of the event. Here are two examples: One of the stars and hero of the extreme right, the convicted criminal Tommy Robinson, decided he really ought to actually join UKIP and was...

Here are some facts, in this case numbers that have been rounded up for convenience: Brexit Betrayal: 3,000 Remain demo: 700,000 You do the maths. And here are some more: Facts! Tom

I understand your personal displeasure at the word but the dictionary defines two separate meanings: cretin | ˈkrɛtɪn | noun 1 informal, offensive a stupid person (used as a general term of abuse). 2 Medicine, dated a person who is physically deformed and has learning difficulties because of...

:D:confused::rolleyes: Tom

That's strange OG as it works on mine although there is a slight pause. Tom

You better believe it! This cretin had the most crass placard on public display today. I think he should have been detained and questioned at least. Tom

B-liar!….has he said something new? Why hasn't he been taken into custody yet? Harold Shipman was the UK's most prolific murderer, convicted of 15 but almost certainly guilty of in excess of 250 killings…..until B-liar came along and eclipsed Shipman's total, with a figure, according to...

Oh, there's definitely an amazing similarity both in tone and delivery between what I have read today from Jennifer Jenkins and another correspondent from not long ago. I can feel it in my water! Someone who was laughed at and generally derided on account of his views expressed in these pages...

On a lighter note, I have seen or heard many definitions of 'Brexit'. This one is more amusing than many: Tom

I thought Zog perhaps but in principle, we are agreed that there is a certain detachment from the reality of life on Earth where this contributor is concerned. Tom
