Some things are definitely wrong with the EU. It doesn’t mean leaving is the answer.

It’s the fault of those who didn’t vote for it apparently not those who did. Them foundations were laid almost as soon as the result was known.

'Little price impact' from axing EU tariffs Probably commissioned and written by some nanby pamby loonie left wing remoaner but I thought I’d share it in the interest of debate. Basically saying that the benefits to the consumer are outweighed by the losses and the benefits won’t recoup what...

I watched a documentary about the Afghanistan Russia war and the yanks take on it was let’s give Russia their Vietnam. They didn’t care who they armed and trained and like you quite rightly point out we were part of that under Thatcher.

I wasn’t patronising you. I was basically quoting you. Ironically you then try to patronise me with some nonsense about comedians.

1) you assume that he only talked to one side. What you also fail to recognise is that in the troubles neither “side” would dare be seen talking to the other “side” publicly. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t happening though. Including the serving government talking to the IRA and Sinn Féin. The good...

Ahh I see. So long as their not anti British state (whatever that’s supposed to mean) the terrorist are OK then. So which terrorism groups are OK for a government to be associated with? Perhaps you can educate me from your infinitely superior knowledge of British political history.

Seems to be an occupational hazard for MP’s and indeed PM’s. Take the current one who’s allowed the DUP to influence No.10. That’s the DUP who has connections to terrorism and terrorist still active. Donations from dodgy Russians, Non Dom’s etc. Arm deals with dictators who then use them to do...

MP associated with unpleasant people shocker.

They all have a past. You at least have the luxury of knowing Corbyns.

Fooking hell. It’s like the WW2 debt all over again. Only this time it’s self inflicted.

I don’t know. From what I’ve read what’s been agreed sounds very much like the border has moved to the Irish channel again and we’ve already learned that the governments friends in the North won’t accept that. I guess that the devil is in the details so we’ll have to see but as the deal has to...

UK and EU agree Brexit transition terms Progress. Although out doesn’t mean out for Northern Ireland. A two tier brexit that no one voted for whether they voted remain or leave. Unless a two tier brexit was your leave vision of course, which I doubt it was.

Well done Cov RFC. Aside from being good for the City of Coventry I’ve always said that a successful CRFC is bad news for Wasps so this really is a win win. Know a couple of lads from Rugby who have jumped on the band wagon and started going to BPA do might even do a game or two next season with...

Yeah exactly. No concrete structure like the size of a stadium is built in a single pour of concrete. Concrete is just like any other material in that it expands and contracts so has to be built in sections to allow an expansion gap.

Maybe the international community should have stopped dealing with Edward Heath after Bloody Sunday. No apologies were made until David Cameron did it and the truth was never admitted until 2010, that’s 38 years of cover up. Yet people were still willing to talk peace with the British government...

Where have I said he saved countless lives? He was talking to the IRA and Sinn Féin about perusing piece a long time before anyone else would and did it against the establishment. As did John Major. An action that led to the good Friday agreement. Not sure what you’re not getting about that.

He was a character to say the least. Not all good either. I have a cousin who works for the local rag and aside from the legend that’s been handed down the generations he’s found a few things in the archives that were reported at the time and at times of other events in his life. Another cousin...

You don’t even realise that the details of the article is an advert for the need to deal with parties on all sides in seek of peace, as John Major was brave enough to do. I don’t need to be told about the atrocities of the troubles, I was there for lots of it and my family was there for all of it.

Which funerals did he attend out of interest?
