According to his ex-wife, who presumably knew him quite well, he is heartless , arrogant and rude and capable of awful cruelty, who claimed to do a great deal for charity but infact never put himself out at all.

Yup, sounds like a typical right winger.

Whilst from a much more reliable source, retail sales down, pound down, inflation up, gap between wages and inflation widening etc. etc.
As far as the jobs are concerned, how many are full-time jobs with a living wage. I know from my own experience that many who are ‘encouraged’ to become self employed actually don’t earn enough to support themselves without additional help. Don’t forget the vast majority of those in this country who are eligible for benefits are also in work

bM, John seems to be making the mistake (again) of assuming all those who fought (and died) for King/queen and country would all be of a like mind and agree with him. I lost great uncles in the first and second world wars, my grandfather fought in the first world war and was wounded and became a passionate advocate of what John would regard as left wing ideals in particular the enhancement of workers rights. Other relations,including my father, were war veterans and they were to a man positive about the basic concept of the European union, my father voted remain last year. Another uncle by marriage was a member of the Society of Friends and was a conscientious objector, but he was part of the Friends Ambulance Unit instrumental in working with the Army Blood Supply Depot and served alongside the 8th army throughout the Western Desert and into Italy. If you have ever had a blood transfusion with blood provided by the NHS blood service, they still rely on many of the systems that his service pioneered in WW2
So don’t play the jingoistic card so readily John, you are not speaking for my family.

As is so often the case regarding Brexit, Bradburger and John have got it quite wrong. He is simply the most vsisble member of the cabinet with a modicum of reality regarding the current situation.

It hasn’t lessened her credibility, she campaigned for staying after all. Why should she have changed her mind? What has happened in the intervening time that would persuade anyone in their right mind that it was a good idea to leave?
David Davis is completely out of his depth,

Having fun with a machine gun….. Hmmm. Perhaps it might compensate for inadequacies in other areas of ones life… Or anatomy.
Nope, still don’t get it.

I don’t often agree with Piers Morgan, but he has shown up the pro-gun lobby in the US to the ridiculousness of their position with one very simple example.

Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs.

The complete silence from the NRA also exhibits their cynical approach…. Wait till it all dies down then express platitudes all the while spending millions of dollars behind the scenes trying to supress discussion of the issue in congress and the senate. But hey, thats democracy eh?

Save your fulminations for unrestricted immigration which is solely responsible for the present state of affairs.

Soley responsible? I think not, The thatcher years were when social housing was old off cheap and the councils were ideologically prevented from replacing their housing stock. That is one of the main root causes of the current housing crisis.

She also started the “me, me” culture that has led to the lack of personal responsibilty you decry.
