This is at a completely different scale to cross domestic politics when people can’t be bothered, this turnout was absolutely massive of a magnitude of importance to people voting, so on that basis the credibility to the authenticity of the manifestos is more than questionable. About 5% more voted ...

How do those major decisions affect the pound in the pocket of our basic rate taxpayers? Specifically? As pointed about above, much of our infrastructure and business is now overseas owned, so money must flow overseas by definition and decisions are being made by those without the interests of the ...

I guess that those walking down from Sunderland have done about 25 times more miles already than those who turned up for the jolly in London on Saturday... a lovely walk round the West End in the Spring sunshine, a few selfies and coffees/snacks and heading for the boozer or Zizzi’s by 2.00 pm.

An interesting outlook on history over time in the EU. Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EU grant. Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant.

I believe that the NHS is doomed unless we control Brexit related issues, so Brexit must be honoured first IMO. I'm curious what you mean by this as there's a lot of interpretations. Is it that we need to stop spending time (and money) on the Brexit process and get back to running the country. Is i...

As others have said, it's trivial to pull out the countries and obviously the majority are the UK.

I wonder how Brighton cope with their bitters. They normally have a few on at the ground (admittedly their "concourse experience" is considerably better than Burnley in general). Just looking at the drink on offer at the new Spurs ground. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb...

He's deserved some of the grief he's got for stuff he's done off the pitch and not making the best of his talent but in the last 12-18 months he's really matured as a player.

Political parties have rules, I would imagine the Tory party rules don’t allow that. And even if they did IDS would be about 315th choice with his colleagues.

It's all unravelling now. Chec republic really worried about sales of Skodas. Like I said Leaders are what matters not unelected ***** like Juncker.

There's an option to download the full data on the website for all of those petitions. Gives you signatures by country and constituency.

It's not a story it's a lie. There's no evidence to back up the claims, only a tiny picture of a load of text which is made us BS, I made my own above.

That's because it's a crap deal and it's the MPs who keep voting it out. Brexiteers want to leave, they've made that clear. The finer details are what the MPs are bickering over. But loads of the Brexiteers on here don't want May's deal either. They want out of the EU, but on specific terms (which ...

Trade between WTO members is carried out under WTO terms unless there is an agreement between them. Japan and the UK are both members of the WTO.

I keep hearing that no deal is going to be a complete disaster literally the second we leave. Explain to me how this is the case? Does trade just literally stop? Do the planes just stop? Do people just stop? Of course the answer is no. Even the EU have said so and that there will be a grace period....

We talked about him before we played against Leicester. In some moments it seems he doesn’t know what’s happening behind him, that’s why he got a red card against Burnley.”

And yet we didn't think about getting in behind Morgan (or thought that Crouch was the best player to do it?).

Or have we missed that part?

That's not really true though is it.

Look at all the brexiteers on here who are against May's deal. That is leaving the EU and they don't want it.

the electorate is broadly for Leave. But in a sense it doesn't matter much what the electorate is for - if the Tories stand for leave or if the tories stand for Remain, they will still get more votes than Labour if Labour stands for sticking its head in the sand and waiting for it to go away. What ...

And then the question is whether it is a general election under a Tory leader appointed by MPs, or whether there is time for the membership to have a leadership vote.

An organisation that quickly busts myths and checks facts on all sides. The media let us down last time, not contesting project fear, and not contesting the lies on the leave side.

Aggi, the point was made that another protest caused disruption on the same location. You choose to be outraged because this one is for Leave.

It's only different now due to increased revenue, at the time they earned enough to be financially stable, as did Rovers if ran properly, like any other business.

The non-economic elements are also clear. Many value the nation state in a similar way to how they view family - the glue that gives comfort to our lives and binds us together.
