Forecast by me on 26th October 2016 on this link, together with a forecast that GM would leave the UK with us leaving the EU. They have done exactly that since by selling Vauxhall and Opel to Peugeot.

And the Peugeot position on Ellesmere Port forecast on 29th July 2019 on this link

we discussed briefly Shamima Bugum's Court case last year.
The BBC has just briefly reported that the Supreme Court has allowed rejected her claim.

Government backed Scientists and Engineers are rumoured to have built several prototype ultra fast trains that are planned to be used on HS2. The prototypes are being tested in several remote locations around the world in order to iron out any problems so that they can then be unleashed to an excited and grateful British public.

An intrepid cameraman working for a well known news agency has however managed to post up some pictures of the amazing vehicle, it has achieved the virtually impossible of being extremely high speed whilst being ultra green.

Ah but once over the border they were treated as VIP.s by the local Bus to Vladivostock.
I wonder what the bus conductor said when he saw the eight suitcases and six large packages they had brought? :D

Slightly concerned as I read the first paragraph as I know Spanish company Talgo is tendering to supply the trains for HS2.
If successful it intends creating a manufacturing base at the site of Scotland's largest coal fired power station at Longannet which ceased operations in 2016.
If this comes about it will be highly advantageous to an area still blighted by the demise of the coal industry 30 years ago.

Fantastic decision. Get back in the sandpit.
It might seem odd from me, but I agree.

A line in the sand had to be drawn to demonstrate that no matter how deserving the person might seem to be, knowingly, willingly and against all attempts to stop her, joining such a despicable and inhuman an organisation as ISIS must be met with no mercy whatsoever, now or ever.

Others now clearly know what to expect if they do.

I suppose we need to determine whether the independence referendum has any legs first. I can’t see it happening if Scotland vote for independence.

(Nothing about gender intended - that's just the lyric as writ!)
On that subject, Hasbro, the organisation that owns the rights to Mr Potato Head and Mrs Potato Head have announced that they are changing their image to gender neutral.

They say that old gender identity is too restrictive to reflect today's realities.

Truly the world has gone completely mad.

That is not apparently what your SC ruled. .. What it merely said ,the Home Sec. Is not obligated to bring her to a safe place from which to make her appeal. So her situation remains in legal limbo. They make no judgement on the legality or morality of her case.

Ahh, protectionism. Ironic, coming from a brexit voting tory (what on earth happened to free trade?). Also (my dear short sighted boris thrusting friend) the difference between, say, north and South Korea. Guess who we are emulating?
