    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In the context it was offered, I would have thought that it was fairly obvious. It has long been the case that the productivity of the UK lags many countries?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There are many other comments on here that have no direct link or connection. However, you lot, really are so exercised over Brexit that you come across as a truly miserable lot, and having watched the football it didn't escape me that I was anything but miserable... perhaps there is a...

    Nothing so sad, or sinister come to that. Enjoyed the game and looking forward to great relaxing weekend. Might even have a beer or two and a small whisky as a nightcap to keep the cold out. I take it that you will continue to exercise yourself about Brexit?

    HMRC gives £700 million IT contract to Amazon.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I take it that we assume that the boat is called the SS Europe and the passengers the EU? Tories of course would get first call for the life-boats being posh, First Class and all that. And the first to notice that all was not well on SS Europe.

    Indeed, but you'd best let OG know that, he seems to be wearing blinkers and generalising where and when it suits - nothing new there of course. This book might help BIG BOOK OF RUBBISH. I made a start but this is even better...

    HMRC gives £700 million IT contract to Amazon.

    I would have thought, racing certainty, that whatever data they have stored will be encrypted and way out of reach of any employee.
