Yellow? Does that mean cowardly or something else? I don't see the problem with those communications - they reflect the truth! There are hundreds of thousands of economic migrants - don't tell me they are all refugees, because the

Firstly, the Grauniad is hardly an unbiased source these days, sadly. Secondly excuse me if I'm sceptical about the predictions of economists. Thirdly, your second source trots out a tired myth of remainers - that leaving the EU means

I seem to remember plenty of noise from the SNP about how Brexit would/has unleashed racist forces, but apparently the same argument doesn't apply to Scottish independence because it's not possible to be racist towards the En

Thanks for the downvote instead of challenging any of my points! People just try to suppress differing opinions instead of engaging with them these days. It's sad. We can only learn by talking. Are disagreements really so threatening t

The pound losing its value makes our exports cheaper, and inward investment more attractive. Lavish welfare state spending makes many people in the UK dependent on benefits - there are plenty of jobs out there for those that look, and we sh

Don't know why this has been downvoted. It's on topic and not even a particularly controversial line of argument. I'd hate to think downvotes were happening due to prejudice, but it does seem that the left wing wants to suppr

Let's be honest though, winter in Scotland is long, dark and miserable.

Oh, please. With or without Scotland, England remains in the lead or on a par with the other most advanced countries in the world in most areas. Of course it has it's problems - like everywhere else - but the downturn that was forecast

I think your logic is flawed. You have selected an arbitrary point in history, i.e. establishment of Spain as a sovereign entity, and used that to determine that Catalonia are not a sovereign entity. Couldn't you just as easily rewind

I think you are using semantics to avoid the deeper issue. Call it what you like: there were plenty of documented examples of anti-English speech, intimidation and outright violence towards English people in Scotland during the Scottish ref

I'm almost completely blind in one due to an eye condition and would be interested in being involved.

Perhaps you are just not made well enough for strenuous activities, sorry to say - this is the conclusion I have come to as I can't really run or cycle for more than a few miles before my knees get so sore I have to stop. I can walk ar

Second this, I had a terrifying reaction to Ciprofloxacin to the point where I could barely walk at one stage and have a range of progressive health issues that may be related. My advice - do not take these antibiotics unless you absolutely

I recently upgraded from a 32" HD ready TV to a 50" 4k beast. Watching films is a completely different and far richer experience - like listening to music on a quality system you notice things that just weren't there before.

Be better if they would compare with Rolls Royce etc. No doubt every other jet engine manufacturer is busy with innovation also.

Unless that is renewables displace LPG in short order, but then I'm sure the Dutchies will just build more turbines, it's not like there's a lack of wind in NL! They might not retain their position amongst the higher GDP coun

Royal Dutch Shell is a big employer in NL and NL has a good part of the North Sea field (they were pumping so much gas from the NAM field it caused earthquakes!). I can't see the canny Dutch doing something to harm themselves.

At first I thought this was parody but sadly for him I think the author of this expects it to be taken seriously. Poorly argued and written and drops the word penis in for pointless shock value; sweeping and insulting generalisations toward

I'm a little late, but anyway - I spent a couple of weeks in 2009 travelling around Eastern Turkey with a mate and visited Ani. Now I've seen a fair amount of impressive ruins in my time - Tunisia, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Is
