Re: 11 times over the limit??
In Scotland, with the limit being so low, most people now don't drink at all when driving. Previously, people would have a couple of beers, but now, rather than risk it with one or a small glass of wine, most have a soft drink. It has made a massive difference - also to the cost of soft drinks in pu...

Re: Cost of Brexit: The impact on business and the economy so far
Actually Brexit is causing one part of the economy to boom..... that of the consultancy firms, like PWC, who make their coin from re-writing policies and giving advice. Apparently they are booming from work in Westminster, to re-write purchasing guidelines, laws and much more... In Scotland, they an...

Re: German investors redistribute resources following Brexit
The suggestions that unemployment rates are important, ignores the current position. In 2007, there weren't Zero hour contracts. There wasn't as attractive Minimum wages either, but generally, most people feel much better off than now. Public sector pay rises since 2007, have added maybe 7% to their...

Re: Should 16yr olds have the vote?
I believe the current voting age is correct. The fact that young people are more pro-remain only demonstrates that they are more easily taken in by politicians, the “media”, the “experts”, and all the other powerful establishment forces. This is hardly surprising, since most kids have been immersed...

Re: German investors redistribute resources following Brexit

Find out which party, your opinions align to
This is a quick quiz that asks questions on a range of topics, then presents your % alignment to each UK party. It is worth clicking for supplementary questions as it will be more accurate.

I would back this for the statistics given. You can pay tax as a 16 year old and not vote, seems wrong.

Re: BirdLife Cyprus condemns Easter Tuesday illegal killing of birds
The ortolan is a new one on me. Certainly, the battery farms in the U.K. Are nothing to be proud of. With the grip,Tesco and the like have on produce, we now have battery cow sheds, where they never see a blade of grass, nor walk around.

Re: Lack of funds wrecks Poseidon’s Paphos marina project
I can't see this latest round not delaying things.
8 years ago, this would have brought well-needed jobs to the area and a huge boost to the economy. More difficult now to find investment.

Re: BirdLife Cyprus condemns Easter Tuesday illegal killing of birds
For historical reasons, many of the islands of the Mediterranean hunt song birds - probably due to historical food reasons from many decades and centuries ago. Today, it's more a tradition condemned by most. Malta seems to the worst offender, with netting still permitted. These islands account for m...

Since us Remainers are now Saboteurs, then perhaps we will face criminal charges under May's new envisaged regime, mirrored on Erdogan's perhaps?

Spookey, but it feels even more like Lenin in Russia, 1917, josef, never mind Erdogan today. Are they both reading from the same song sheet, I wonder? (May and Erdogan, that is) "Crush the Saboteurs" statement was Lenin. Did Theresa May actually state that? If not, certain sections of the...

Re: Theresa May announcement
I really don't understand May's references to being hindered, as Article 50 has been submitted, approved by the Lords and she hasn't been opposed... She seems to be inventing conflict that isn't there, or in truth, hiding the conflict her own party is giving behind closed doors... Any opposition to ...
