Indeed, but as my post said, "some past names - - - - - - - - - - - - and many others".You omitted Ferranti. EMI ,Cable & Wireless
It's not surprising you are a fan of the EU....If the UK had had a net gain of almost £50 billion since joining, Then I'm sure we would have voted to stay. Unfortunately while Southern Ireland is a parasite of the EU, The UK is a host.I agree the Remain faction behaved appallingly .. They resolutely failed to warn their more simple minded friends of the risks they were running. .. Possibly because even they could not distinguish a disaster from a catastrophe.
Sadly not. Our universities only offer courses in, Mood Expression through Free Dance Movement theses days. It’s much easier for us to get a population educated to degree level by offering these types of courses. You can even get a First just by attending over 25% of seminars and it’s only going to cost £7.5K / year soon. As if that wasn’t good enough, it gets even better, you will be also be able to carry the course debts into your 60s! That’s so old you can put it of of your mind, you will never need to worry about repayments.Saw this and reminded of the pop gun discussion - not surprising the Romans found Britland a walkover...
And on an invasion trail of thought, I think I stumbled across the perfect patron Saint for brexiters while reading Night Raid about the Bruneval radar raid. St George doesn't count as he was a Johnny Foreigner.
I hereby nominate Robert Watson-Watt 1935 who declared 'Britain has become an island once more' following a successful trial of RDF / radar and thereafter only took about 5 years to get operational.
Which leads onto the techy problem with Huawei network infrastructure. Can the UK plug the gap with developing and manufacturing replacement hardware and systems inspired by plucky go it alone brexit back-to-the-wallers - might even flog it for it profit to the US ;-) - same goes for a replacement for Galileo that we well could be excluded from.
A bizarre contest seems to have broken out whereby all of the eager hopefuls are trying to outbid each other over how much damage they can inflict on the country.In the Express
Brexit BOMBSHELL: Remainer Sajid Javid to take UK out of Europe with NO deal in PM bid

All but Florence of Belgravia.A bizarre contest seems to have broken out whereby all of the eager hopefuls are trying to outbid each other over how much damage they can inflict on the country.
As if the last three years of incompetence haven’t been embarrassing enough for the U.K. the world must now be looking on with jaw-dropping amazement as our Prime Minister is chosen by way of a Dutch Auction.
WTF is going on in this country.
An Agree is hardly sufficient.This is what Brexit Voters in the main didn't vote for, but it describes what they were hoodwinked to achieve.

The mugging of all time barely covers it, and these parasites are still in business.
There is till lots of potential for them to continue fleecing the public.
"Never give a sucker an even break" is the leave motto
Is that a genuine quote? Do we have chapter and verse? Could it be used in evidence?
I don't think even BJ is dumb enough to reveal the true reason why he wanted Brexit.Is that a genuine quote? Do we have chapter and verse? Could it be used in evidence?
That's why I asked "Could this be true" and I'm trying to trace it back, personally i think its a spoof, but even if it isn't it won't make any difference, will it?Is that a genuine quote? Do we have chapter and verse? Could it be used in evidence?
Neither do I, I have been trying to trace it back to sourceI don't think even BJ is dumb enough to reveal the true reason why he wanted Brexit.
Where is VFR when we need a good conspiracy theory? It appears that the rates of crime and violence dropped throughout the west when we started using more unleaded petrol. Do you think the oil companies have started slipping it back into their fuel. No idea why they might do that but there has to be some nutter on YouTube with a theory on it.WTF is going on in this country.
No I don't think it would, we are now in a post truth world. Facts are whatever people say they are, if they don't like the facts they just call it fake news.but even if it isn't it won't make any difference, will it?
Your knowledge of the biological sciences rivals that of your command of economics. The appropriate term for the Irish relationship with the EU is symbiosis.It's not surprising you are a fan of the EU....If the UK had had a net gain of almost £50 billion since joining, Then I'm sure we would have voted to stay. Unfortunately while Southern Ireland is a parasite of the EU, The UK is a host.
