It does depend completely on the level of independence being talked about of course. Most people would say that the right to have an army, a head of state and even a foreign policy are rather more important than anything that might be ceded in membership of the EU. I accept your family thinks...

Of course the hard way of expressing it is to ask the question: "How many more would have survived if Boris Johnson hadn't?"

Excuse me saying but you seem to have some sort of obsession with moist underwear.

Obviously they are more than entitled to their opinion but I believe they are wrong. As we have heard the heard the same point repeated a number of times by EU-disapprovers, perhaps I may be forgiven for similarly repeating myself... There is absolutely no comparison between the level of...

In the 1975 referendum the biggest issue (it dominated everything else according to the Daily Telegraph) was the concept of shared sovereignty. In reality, every country in the world shares its sovereign power in one way or another, but joining the EC put the issue under a formal spotlight. It...

And on that point, as with others, I agree with you. It was very effective.

Read my post. I made no claim that Putin won the referendum for Leave. I simply said that he felt Russia's interests were best served by the result we had.

We've heard this point many times but I believe it is wrong. There is absolutely no comparison between the level of centralised power in the United Kingdom and that in the European Union. As a component of the United Kingdom, England, for example, has no head of state, no army and no...

It's going all right so far. There was a reason for Putin being one of a tiny number of foreign leaders to back what happened in June 2016.

You're right in one sense but I thought that the reference to 'the current government' was actually to the leaders of it - Johnson, Gove and the departed disruptor ran the Leave campaign and without Johnson's light entertainer qualities and Cummings's brilliantly duplicitous campaign skills I...

My uncle had one of these. Eighty years old, only 31 made, 28 survive. He gave this little boy a ride most times he came to Sussex. Sadly, I didn't inherit it. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/mo17/monterey/lots/r129-1935-aston-martin-ulster-competition-sports/430432

If you are really suggesting that the European Union, a group of sovereign states each with heads of state, standing armies and the ability should they wish to declare war on each other, is more centralised than the United Kingdom, whose four parts have none of those things and in the case of...

I reckon he was a bit more than good. He transformed pop music; took it to a completely new level.

Equally, no Leave voter I have ever met in actual real life (apart perhaps from the vermin surrounding politicians outside the House in October 2019) doesn't spend valuable time jeering at Remain supporters whilst simultaneously failing to resist indulging in puerile name-calling involving loons...

Wordplay... mistype... even you knows that TB doesn't think that the UK is a third world country. You're playing your little games again, all so you can call a fellow-Albion supporter a liar. Judge Taylor wouldn't be a bit impressed.

You know when I read that simple slip of the tongue I thought to myself "Pasta the nitpicker will be joyously back with his Atticus Finch impression any moment". You kept us waiting.

Bugger. I thought you were going to say something. Still, it's nice to see you providing case history evidence for the point made by Garry Nelson's teacher.

I do worry that you talk to yourself because when you come across a part of an argued case you don't like you simply ignore it. It's not a problem.

In April 1964, Peter Allen killed a man. Four months later Robert Stewart killed Peter Allen. The results were the same. The methods weren’t vastly different. But one was a criminal act and the other was a man doing his lawful job. There are no similarities of consequence between the two - to...

Unfortunately you have to have been born there. (I checked on 24 June 2016.)
