Absolutely not. I wouldn’t quote Farage under normal circumstances, but when talking to believers it sometimes helps to point out what Farage told them before the referendum. They may take more notice of Farage than just me.

They would get their vote if the government of the UK allowed it. Then it would be legal and fair to both sides. The difference with Catalonia is that the Spanish Constitutional Court declared it as not on accordance with the constitution. Not only that, but they needed at least 90 seats to...

I saw through this bollocks the first time I saw Farage. I wrote to UKIP and told them they were talking BS at the time. My brother worked for UKIP in Brussels - before he got sacked for discovering the MEPs corruption. His boss landed in nick and my brother sent the info to Private Eye. My...

There are classifications for most things. The only reason you know about bananas is because of propaganda from people like Boris Johnson.

How do you get 33%? If... Merkel forms a government it will be around 53%, but it won’t alter the constitution. To do that she needs over 60% ( or two thirds of the Bundestag- not sure which). A simple majority is not enough to alter the constitution. A government is put to reelection every 4...

Actually agree with you completely..... that Mythos must have done you some good..;-)

Nor does the government

The last point is true. They are irrelevant. Or about as relevant as having a stone in your shoe. The Sun is shit. There aren't millions of homeless. 1 is too many, but there are not millions without any form of roof over their head. It depends on how you classify homeless. Many sleeping...

Not millions.

You are suggesting a rate rise. I am hoping it gets put off. Germany is in a house building boom. They cannot build fast enough. The prices are rising even where I live which is not a major city and has it's best times behind it. All because of cheap credit. The council here is investing in...

Byatts only do real ale and my pub has a very small cellar geared up to keg. Twisted Barrel do Key Kegs. Better for transport and with a longer shelf life ( I have to import 24 Kegs a time to make it worthwhile and as I have 7 other more commercial beers on tap, I don't have large volume for...

Yes, but how many of each type? How large is the average family today? How many have large families? How many live in single households? How many houses will become vacant in 10 to 15 years when the baby boomers die? Just saying "everything" doesn't provide a sensible housing projection for...

Yes, and the EU has made it harder for Putin to destabilise it.

If rates rise in the Eurozone... there is a good chance, but there are good reasons for holding rates down as long as possible.

Estonia sees the Euro as an advantage for the reasons Grendel gave.

You cannot accurately predict population growth. It varies according to economic and political situations. Housing availability may also alter because of baby boomers dying off in 10 years or so. Pensioners are often living in houses that are now too big for them now that the family has left -...

Estonia

That is not necessarily true. We don’t know what the situation will be in, say, five years time. The pound has already slumped, the USA has already rejected the post Brexit agriculture plan... There are advantages in having a single currency over a large heavily populated area. Not least...
