The “USA” hasn’t said anything Jim. A few Democrat hard-liners have kicked up and said they would try their best to thwart a deal- but then, they would do that, wouldn’t they? Same lot who sent many millions of dollars over to the IRA during the troubles to help make a bad situation even worse. Nice...

Welcome to the forum Earlsfield. I would have fallen over when I read your last sentence, except I was sitting down!
More please!

Well done Bean, you’ve obviously been paying attention, and spotted the deliberate “mistake”.
For the “Backstop”, read “Northern Ireland Border”.

Jon.

The Backstop, which had scant mention before the referendum, was cooked up by Barnier with a complicit [remainer] May, and by [remainer] Oily Robbins of the “neutral” Civil Service. May, head of the world’s fifth largest economy, was summoned out of bed on a December morning at five o clock by an un...

Have you forgotten which side you are on Jim? The entire remain “argument”, insofar as there was one, was economic and financial. Hence the Mk1, 2, 3 and 4 versions of Project Fear- largely fabricated nonsense. I am now focused on positive economic news coming out of the UK. If I have any fears they...

While we're waiting, Jackie, let's remind ourselves of the promises made by our remainer friends:

The B.of E., like all other central banks, holds a percentage of other major world currencies…. In recent years it has become customary for all central banks to invest and speculate in these currencies…. However, in a display of prudence not reciprocated by our European friends, the B.of E. has, ove...

Dominic, in what way are we not displaying respect to our "hosts"?
Jon.

Argaka?

Under certain conditions, I understand that soft tissue can completely decompose leaving a void, like a mould, which can fill over millenia with minerals deposited from solution.
An incredible find, Max, and certainly appears like an octopus.
Jon.

No Jim, the UK need not be dragged down with the rest. It has its own currency, and it still has its own sovereignty [just] - if we can only get out. I don’t give a damn about Germany, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Siingapore or Hong-Kong. If you read the link below it explains the global economic position...

Thank you Firefly. Always glad when you brighten up this "slough of despond" with your feisty posts.
Jon.

If anyone is interested in verifiable facts, please read Deloitte’s January 2019 report. This is from the largest accounting and auditing firm in the world: • “Deloitte analysis shows that 3,900 UK inward investment projects in the past three years brought in $140 billion of capital –more than Franc...

What about obstructing the access to ports by sitting down in the road? Like Plaid Cymru did in order to obstruct the legitimate access to the Brexit Party’s rally in South Wales. However, I don’t think it is a good idea to offer suggestions. Remainers have energy, and vivid imaginations enough! Jus...

The only thing I am mildly apprehensive about is the nature and extent of deliberate sabotage of the systems and proceedures by certain disgruntled, uncooperative Remainers, should we simply leave- the choice of action stated clearly on the ballot- which was conclusively won by the Leave side. Judgi...

@WHL 3.40pm.
I always relish the opportunity to incorporate the term: “Di-hydrogen oxide” in discussions. This has the snowflakes diving for cover with their tin hats.
Guess what?
It’s water!!

Max, we have passed through it quite a few times en-route to the Troodos via Lemona. On a couple of occasions, we stopped, as we believed it had been partly abandoned as a result of the war- however, on looking it up on Wiki, it appears that it was partly evacuated in the sixties for safety reasons-...
