    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Firstly - you are using Guido as a reference... perfect if you are only trying to discredit yourself. Secondly, what’s your opinion on heads of state that mourn the loss of soldiers they sent to war, but don’t acknowledge the loss of civilian life. Or maybe the one that celebrates an air...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It’s not OK, it’s unacceptable if that is the case. So there you have it. I am critical of him, does that make you happy? Now whilst we are on the subject, I don’t seem to remember you making a comment on the fact I have previously mentioned about May and her government selling weapons to Saudi...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    As I have said before - I don't understand measuring capability or leadership qualities by the idea of them being in a flash suit, or having fancy catchphrases. People would say Blair was full of charisma - what a c*** he was. I'm sure that if you look back through history some of the most...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I think he would be yes. It's about time that this country had a better chance for all, and someone was prepared to stand up to the people that treat this country as a vehicle for their own personal wealth and agenda. Will he be successful... I don't know, but I hope he is, or at the very least...

    Five percent of UK adults in denial about Holocaust

    When they released the raw data only 1% had clearly indicated the didn't believe it happened, 3% said they didn't know. Chuck them together with a bit of creative rounding and you have your headline!!

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Comparing Corbyn to Blair is laughable. Blair was a continuation of the Tories, and people can clearly see the distinction between Labour in 1997-2010 and Labour now. You say a lot of the UK is doing well - yet every credible research or study has concluded that nearly every measure of...

    Labour aren't split on austerity - neither are the public as a whole, unless you are referring to the haves/have nots.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I should have clarified... it will be the governments downfall.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The inability of her and her government to run this country properly outside of the 'Brexit bubble' will be her downfall. Only for so long can she carry on in the pretence that she has played a good game whilst the rest of the country burns through welfare cuts, public spending cuts and austerity.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    May will drag this shit out for as long as possible... the media will provide some spurious ‘distraction’ and Tony Blair will continue to be an insipid little c*** Plus Fantasy...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    So how do you break the cycle? You start by investing in communities, local schools, nurseries. It has to be preventative, not just reactive. You pay for these things where you have the capacity to make a difference, instead of merely throwing money at a problem once it has happened. If you have...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The problem is that other agencies that used to pick up this kind of thing are simply not there anymore. Surestart centres, multi-agency support networks which where often offshoots from social work have been axed. It seems strange that this kind of thing would even be necessary, but this...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Most schools have the potential to be decent provided they are staffed and funded correctly. As you mentioned before the resources have simply dried up meaning that teachers are being ask to do the impossible, without the infrastructure in place to give everyone the means to be successful...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Everyone should be on level playing field, so give all schools the same exemptions as clint referred to. Also qualifications should be the same in independent school as they are in state. However the independent sector has been allowed to 'opt-out' of the new GCSE's that all the state ones had...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    First of all - the figures that you’ve used are not accurate, merely the point of view of a government trying to tell you that everything they are doing is amazing. They are manipulated, and if you just take a look around you it’s evident that their claims of prosperity are farcical. The press...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    They are bollocks based on the simple notion that figures have been omitted, manipulated and in some cases the measures changed in order to tell a story.... the very definition of statistics. Take the employment/unemployment figure. Someone who works 1 hour a week in a zero-contract job is...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The fact we have more people than ever using food banks, as well as more homeless people than ever suggests that those employment and wage 'statistics' are nothing short of complete bollocks.

    I'd suggest that most of the written press and the BBC are more than happy to step up and do that for her.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The only thing she had to say to the other parties was that she had no intention of making any adjustments. People need to stop defending her (I'm not necessarily suggesting you are)
