well it doesn't help when one of the negotiating team is manoeuvring himself into position for a crack at his party's leadership. To be fair to Boris, he has achieved the impossible, he's actually made me feel a pang of sympathy for the PM and the rest of the negotiating team who are probably...

I don't actually agree with that, nor do I agree that it is struggling, as I said, there are mixed indicators and I don't think anyone can say for sure how this will pan out.

He doesn't address far right rallies.

The day junker addresses a far right rally in Germany I might agree with you.

Some on the left may of, but there are also the likes of Richard Dawkins who are fierce critics of Islam. You seem to lump all Muslims in together, totally ignoring the Sunni/Shia dynamic of it. The Shia have probably suffered more at the hands of fundamentalists than anyone.

Farage is a bigot, as well as a hypocrite, that's undeniable. He's the last man who should be anywhere near the negotiations, I'd even keep boris there ahead of him. What is he going to hold the EU to account for? Whatever your view of the EU this isn't time for anyone to hold anyone to account...

I'm confident of a win based purely on unfounded, mindless optimism.

I said in an earlier post, in my opinion, the threat from fundamental Islam is far higher than that of the far right which in turn is far higher than any left wing group opposing them.

The Tories will ensure wage suppression continues and the wealth gap continues to widen whether we are in or our of the EU. As for benefit culture, our welfare spend is relatively low and would be even lower if we didn't have to pay benefits to working people who can't afford to live on their...

True, but wage contraction is appalling and growth is poor compared to other G7 countries,(though there is still economic growth). I've said it before, the economic indicators are very mixed at the moment and I don't think they currently point in any particular direction with regard to the...

yet there are plenty of people who voted Breixt who say the exact opposite. I actually think you're assessment is more accurate.

[ made the point about Indias immigration requirements to someone at work. We may end up cutting free movement fro EU citizens but relaxing it for those from India. I a little confused about Canada as well. The EU has agreed this new CETA deal with Canada which will see 98% of trade tariffs...

you just wanted to show off using the word skulk! I see loads in the morning. (I leave the house around 5) but have done for a few years. Occasionally get one in my back garden, Saw one a few weeks ago in the afternoon which is highly unusual and it was getting chased by a cat!

I have to admit, I'm not very comfortable with the idea of a second referendum no matter how much my disdain for the leading brexit campaigners and the type of campaign they conducted. I wasn't impressed by the way the Irish Government held a 2nd vote on the Lisbon treaty when the vote didn't...

Dead player '66/1' to replace Redknapp Paddy Power offers 66/1 on Ugo Ehiogu replacing Redknapp A bookmaker has given odds on a dead footballer replacing sacked Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp. Paddy Power offered 66/1 on ex-Aston Villa and England defender Ugo Ehiogu taking over - a...

you started your post who would have thought it and gave an example of something you didn't expect to see, I followed it up with an instance of something I didn't expect to see, i'd say that has got something to do with your post. Expect to see Cable for PM with the Macron and Trudeau examples...

on the day the Telegraph gives boris an absolute pasting, unusual times we're living in.

it's all in this thread with detailed explanations of all the possible outcomes. You should read the whole thread, it's very informative.

I wouldn't disagree with that. But it's difficult, to sort out the genuine refugees from terrorists/ economic migrants without giving more support to the authorities. And yes, it's not our job to fix the world but we do need to shoulder our share of the burden. There are also rich countries who...

You can pick me up from the train station!
