    It's only really extremists like Farage who are insisting on no free movement of people. Boris isn't anti-immigrant despite the dumb racist things he has said in the past. He's talking about amnesties for illegals and a merit based immigration system.
    Farage can and should be just sidelined and ignored.

    Racism it the acknowledgement that other people could be equal or superior..
    A weakness and a expression of being less than what you expect to be.

    A very healthy people, does not look down at others, it embraces them, no matter what their colour of the skin is, or were they come from, or what their religion is.
    Only the strong and healthy, as you call them can compete in a world of diversity.
    Only the so called strong and not healthy, which you represent can not compete in a world of diversity. They seek protection in fascism and Neo NAZI culture.
    They know they are weak and that's why they have the need to look down at anybody out side their circle.

    That's who you are, weak.

    OK details of held 'secret' Yellowhammer papers have been released but they seem to be much the same as the ones disclosed by the Times except that these ones claim to be a 'worse case scenario'.
    On the situation which has brought the Government to court and which yesterday the Scottish Court rule illegal, the Prorogation of Parliament the Government refused to provide papers.

    Hello to Great Britain from an American patriot. ME!.. Don't worry, just do it. LEAVE. Do not let the Junkers realigned socialists of EU try to bully you. YOU ARE A GREAT COUNTRY!! And Trump will make a deal with Great Britain whatever it takes. We got your back, like we always have since the great Winston Churchill gave that address NEVER SURRENDER!! and FDR said, "nothing to fear, except fear itself"

    Thank you for posting.
    Do you know that the land border on the island of Ireland will need to be closed off with machine gun nests, watchtowers and 310 miles of barbed wire and other security devices?
    I am sure that the supportive USA won't mind paying for it.
    In your post however you only mention Great Britain as a 'great country', am I to understand that you exclude Northern Ireland from your message?

    The NI case was different to the ones heard in England and Scotland. The argument here was
    same link. If it was just that it would seem to be more an argument against a No Deal Brexit rather than Parliament being suspended so I am guessing they said that suspending it was likely to lead to that or would not allow proper Parliamentary discussion on it resulting in that.

    Yes she was a war target and those small explosives had nothing to do with her sinking, small arms can't sink ships. We build excellent ships, as we like to say in NI there was nothing wrong with the Titanic when she left Belfast but no ship in the world could have ever have survived being torpedoed or striking an iceberg in that manner.

    Couldn't, the Schliffen plan mandated crushing France first and then taking on Russia, France had no choice and we weren't going to let Germany subjugate European democracy. Germany pushed Austria into attacking Serbia because she wanted a war just as Moltke said;

    Jo Maugham QC and Joanna Cherry QC of the SNP who brought the case to the court which ruled that Prorogation was illegal are taking another matter to the court. It is asking that if Johnson goes by what he has said he will do and having not managed to get people to agree to no deal nor any other deal, he does not ask the EU for extension of Article 50, they want the court to do it instead. This court is apparently the only Court in the UK with the ability to do this.

    With the EU, the human race will never leave the planet.
    The buerocratics will drown us in paperwork and regulation.
    No inovation will exist.
    Europe will stagnate and decay just like happened to China millenium ago.

    Americans need parties with leaders instead of parties that go between elections as either the captive of a sitting President (Republicans in 2019) or leaderless until they go through a convoluted primary election process prior to an election.

    It is still controversial as to whether the 2nd explosion was caused by ammunition hidden on the ship or a boiler explosion.

    Kibbitzers who have to pretend that they are speaking for a nation are always the most fun.
