    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The constant comparisons to sport are interesting... If it was discovered after the match in 1966 that both sides cheated / lied, do you think the result would stand? No I suspect like the Tour de France where most of the top 10 in the Lance years were all cheating... it was wiped from the record.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, I know that was pre-referendum, that was my point. You don't go from being pro-EU to anti it just because some one else is anti it, unless you are a total idiot, just like you don't go from being Anti-EU to pro-EU just because the EU is popular. So the referendum was a clear choice for...

    You don't see the whole thing moving from, what was "HARD BREXIT - NO SURRENDER - THIS IS THE UK - RED/WHITE/BLUE BREXIT etc etc etc " to now a situation where you have someone like Boris saying the CBI is talking nonsense. What Boris himself has said: BORIS JOHNSON accused the CBI business...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not excluding anything, I asked you a question. You said we had a trade surplus when you looked at the countries outside the EU27. So I'm simply asking, if you know if we have a trade surplus outside the countries that being in the EU28 gives us preferential access to. How do you feel...

    Do you know the figures when you exclude the trade deals, including Free Trade deals that being in the EU28 gives us access to? Because don't forget we're leaving them too.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So little old the UK, is now going to go up against, the EU, China, the US and Russia... in trade and judging by the news this morning, military too. Do you not think we might be biting off more than we can chew. Perhaps in order to go up against the US / Russia / China we should team up with...

    Ok, so I did a bit of research... I looked it up. XE Currency Converter: ZAR to EUR 6.04 ZAR =0.405040EUR That number is important. Because (and yes I'm afraid I've not emailed anyone I know in SA or Spain to check) but looking at a well known comparison site, that is normally pretty...

    Where are you getting the cost price of oranges for South Africa and Spain from, and then the shipping costs. If you can provide me with both of those details and prove that a shop can by oranges from SA cheaper than Spain, then I'll believe you. Until then I think you're posting about stuff...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Think about it for second... 1) so do you really think the UK in a post Brexit world is suddenly going to have free trade, no tariff deals with everyone? In which case it'll still be cheaper for us to get oranges from Spain, because if we've got free trade with Spain and South Africa, it'll...

    2 points... I did give the actual number of Asian / Pakistani girls in care, and its a tiny tiny % and I've worked in a number of schools in Oldham so I have direct experience of the differences in upbringing of working class white British and British Pakistani girls, so I'm not speaking from...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You added this bit after I replied, so I'll reply as you've asked me a direct question. Things I know from working in a very mixed race education in Oldham, which is similar to Rochdale / Rotherham. One of the lads I work with is from Rotherham, and his dad is a teacher. So we do have some...

    Well he might know more about what she said. Stating that person x who is x y & indeed z committed a crime isn't racist.... assuming that their race is part of the reasons for their crime is, because it clearly isn't a reason for a crime. I would suggest that 99.9% of British Pakistani males...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The MP for Rotherham was dismissed from the shadow cabinet by Jeremy Corbyn last month after she wrote in an article for The Sun that Britain “has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”. Totally correct..... but as I keep saying, they might be british...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Facts, what like their gender, height, hair colour, eye colour, religion, postcode, etc etc? None of which have anything to do with the choice to commit a crime. The fact you think these criminals are from any group, be it age, gender, race, religion, geographic is going to be "ist" of some...

    You're trying to suggest that one religion / race of people are more predisposed to sexual practices that are not considered acceptable in the UK. It doesn't matter when you live. Its simply racist nonsense, and every time you bring it up, I'll call it out. I used to live in Stockport, and...

    70's DJ's? (old data I know, but its all 5 seconds on google got me) In 2012/13 there were 23,663 recorded sexual offences against children across the whole of the UK. Some 19,112 of those were recorded by police in England and Wales, including 6,296 rapes. But yes of course they were all...

    Wow, I was at EuroBike the other year and I wasn't aware that the improvement from 2016 to 2017 in the reliability and performance of basic bikes was going to be the reason that suddenly almost 1/3 of sales were wiped from the UK. I'll have to have a word with the component brands and find out...
