I see the rightwing fruitcakes on here are wetting their pants over the Salmond case.
As I said earlier Malc, no comment is the best response
Innocent until proven guilty. Amusing to hear someone who is a nationalist calling others "rightwing fruitcakes". Nationalism is, other than its close cousin fascism, the nuttiest and nastiest of fruitcake ideology there is..... cue demented insults and ranting and lots of words none of us have ever heard of lol
Ford has predicted that a no-deal Brexit will result in costs of $800m (£612m) during 2019 alone, in the latest in a series of stark warnings over potential disruption to British manufacturing.
If the UK leaves the EU on 29 March without a deal the US carmaker said it could face trade delays at the border, a weaker economic outlook and tariffs on trade between the UK and EU, as well as a hit from the likely sharp fall in sterling.
The warning came as Jaguar Land Rover, the UK’s largest carmaker, informed employees on Thursday that it will shut down its four main factories for an extra week at the start of April on top of a previously planned maintenance pause because of “potential Brexit disruption”.
I sense a new movement supporting a No-Deal Brexit but coming at it from the point of view that we need to be taught a lesson that we're not the the masters of the universe we think we are.
It's a movement short of a name. Something that what it appears like the Pre- Raphaelites or the Post-Moggists.
The Italian Futurist manifesto "We will glorify war - the only true hygiene - militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers". And then World War One broke out...
Brexit returns power to the British voter to elect and eject those who rule over them. No more diktats from Brussels, no more unelected commissioners conjuring laws, no more no more no more.
In the long term this is clearly the best thing for the country. It will hurt in the short term. J R Mogg was logically right to talk of “fifty years”, even though the comment was foolishly unguarded, politically.
No.
That's not how the World works anymore. Long gone are the days when the UK elite could make diktats that changed how things work in Global markets.
We need to do deals with other people. We can be in the room (as we are now), or we can look on while our future is decided by other people.
Brexit reduces the ability of our elected representatives to control our destiny.
+1. To illustrate the point, substitute "Northamptonshire" for "British" and "Westminster" for Brussels. It is intuitively clear (though perhaps someone will disagree) that Northants wouldn't be better off making its own decisions outside the UK, because they would find themselves unable to influence things that affected them. It's not obvious that the nation state is not now in the same position - and certainly that it's likely to be in that position in 50 years' time.
Brexit and Trump are parts of the painful last hurrahs of nationalism; a poisonous irrational psychosis that believes one nation or nationality to be superior to another, not unlike its close cousin fascism. It is a philosophy of win-lose rather than win-win. It is a stupidity that still needs to be bled out of the human spirit in the same way socialism does. Unfortunately human beings will have to suffer further before they fully understand the vacuousness of both of these simplistic ideologies.
Of course the UK and the USA are superior to other nations, it’s quite damn obvious. Are we superior to Sweden, Germany and Canada? Probably not, are we more or less give or take the same, yes. They might consider themselves to have an edge, but it’s an edge, nothing more. But compare that with Russia, Somalia, Brazil, Pakistan, Romania, and a hundred other nations and we are most obviously superior. It’s so obvious you have to create some kind of mind altering mental illness or intellectual willingness to completely avoid that which is clearly true to think otherwise.
Would it be wicked of me to ask you to list them?...
Seeing as I believe that the leavers and pro-EU people fundamentally do not understand each others views, I think this article sums up how leavers are feeling about the shenanigans that our political class are playing. They need to be careful what they do or the UK yellow vests will be on the streets.
I see the rightwing fruitcakes on here are wetting their pants over the Salmond case.
Not half as much as the leftwing fruitcakes in the USA have been, are, and will be wetting themselves on Mueller, Buzzfeed, Covington Students etc, etc, etc
I don't know anything about the Salmond case. He has been charged: I don't know the circumstances, the people, the location, or anything. SO I will say nowt.

He was top scorer in that innings.
