This is appallingly close to home for every Albion supporter.

Let's hope not. England's populist fanatics did keep complaining about the 1975 referendum for nearly half a century though so who knows. (You must really really disapprove of Jimmy Goldsmith and the well-funded lot who followed him. Actually, I don't so much. They may have used coarse and...

Who are they then ? , looks like you're waiting for the next Argentinian invasion of the Falklands Regards DF I've offered details in my response to Billy the Fish above. (The shaded comments above are mine, not yours of course.)

Please direct me to where I suggested it did. I was simply drawing on information that our departure from the EU weakens the security of the Falkland Islands. Grants and preferential European Investment Bank loans will no longer be available to islanders and the sense - a well-founded sense -...

My theory is that there's a difference between non-violent citizens and their representatives using ancient and established parliamentary procedures to offer the voting public the chance to confirm or otherwise an earlier view in the light of emerging information on the one hand and a rampaging...

[QUOTwE=Pretty pink fairy;9671646]Exocet missile anyone ? Regards DF The French did indeed sell a very small number of Exocet missiles to Argentina at a time when no one assumed that hostilities would break out with Britain. It is also the case that a number of French technicians subsequently...

The impact will be on many fronts. A quiet piece by a neutral writer in the Times today explains how the future of the Falkland Islands and other dependencies will be seriously compromised by UK casting off from the European Union. Families of those lost in 1982 may be wondering what the point...

There is a very big difference between being able to make special arrangements to buy a house or go on a university course or have a time-limited break in an overseas country and the legal right, with few exceptions, to study, work, reside, retire and be cared for across 27 other European...

Only another 30 minutes before my children will be stopped from studying, working, living, retiring and being cared for as of right across the most varied and fascinating continent on earth. It's so exciting.

Learn from Leeds. Have a default starting 11 taken from about 13 players and consistent tactics and techniques that those players understand and can relate to as a group. Tinker round the edges to suit the moment if you must but leave the soul unchanged. Note how March has benefited from...

Boris's long term super fan has no opinion on Boris? This sort of thing will have no effect at all on your reputation.

Is there a joke trying to be made there? Meanwhile, what's your view on the question posed by the thread?

You're right about the problem but this self-entitled chancer can't even respect his own children. There are millions of decent people in this country and to suggest that the moral vacuum residing in Downing Street is ever likely to deserve their ultimate legacy is ironic to say the least.

It's a wonderful thread. Better than any cracker joke I've seen all week. All it needs is for you to give an opinion.

Good for you - you are remaining true to the original concept of the common men electing one of their number to represent their best interests. Unfortunately, the party system has steamrollered the principle into near-oblivion and I doubt more than one in a 100 think the way you do. Individual...

I am indeed a supporter of parliamentary democracy. Can I take it that you are too, and supported our parliamentarians' right to follow their consciences during the May government?

So you are in favour of the ancient principle that parliamentarians should act according to their considered judgment as to what is in the interests of the nation and its people, irrespective of what the people appeared to be clamouring for? (Clearly, if those parliamentarians had been...

Can I just check that you're being objective here. If you'd sack Sturgeon for forgetting (briefly I believe) to put a mask on, would you also want Boris Johnson sacked after he was photographed not observing social distancing rules and failing to wear a mask during a meeting last month with a...

There is of course the possibility that a more efficient implementation of the vaccination programme in the EU could reverse the situation. We shall see, but it's fair to say that the British state's record on logistical exercises has not been great during this pandemic.
