My favourite was the one about how a nylon puffa jacket for £850 was a stylish purchase. -
Dont be so sure. He's desperately trying to stitch up a deal with climate change groups on a carbon tax in an attempt to get some breathing space from the heat.

Fox helped get him off that particular hook and get him elected. Ive no idea where Fox sit at the moment - but their support is for sure much more qualified and less universal than it was before the election.

My response is to posts. That was monumentally thick one by Portugalsaint. Or do you agree there would have been as much to debate if we had kept the status quo instead of voting for massive change? The thing is there are many good, powerful arguments Brexiteers could be making. The fact that so many dont spot them and instead make facile 'points' about supposedly 'fake news' and dodgy experts actually reinforce the case for most Breixteers being dumber than the average bear.

All experts are the same arent they? In it together. Cant trust any of them.

The real takeaway from that clip is that the President doesn't prepare for news conferences. You should watch the actual coverage of his Florida press conference. Its a car crash.

How long do you think it would take to knock up a Perry Greaves receipt, a couple of blurry photos and a lovely story when £135k is at stake?

and the domestic murder rate is around seven times what it is here. Hard to be impressed by guys murdering their wives and kids.

The Russian hoolies see England as the creators of organised football violence and so as the 'kings' they want to depose. The fact they are 30 years out of date doesn't seem to matter.

Wow, thats seismic. If he has lost the whole of Fox (as opposed to perhaps one programme host) then he is lost.

Classic monumentally thick leave post. If the UK had voted remain it would have meant the status quo. Apart from a few posts about the rights and wrongs of the campaign or decision there would have been nothing to discuss. Leaving means a whole different economic, social and political landscape is being discussed and thrashed out - which of course people want to comment on.

Kippers and the unskilled are the least likely to trust experts. Who'd have thought? https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/02/17/leave-voters-are-less-likely-trust-any-experts-eve/

My ex boss is closely involved with politicos in DC. According to him the Republican hierarchy are unlikely to ditch Trump because although Pence is more stable and 'managerial' his policies are even worse.

The FTSE rise is driven by the decline in the pound and has no impact on the real economy. The continuing rise in employment, decline in productivity and broadly flat wages and unemployment rate are real and important numbers though. Traditionally wages and productivity would rise in times of high employment, but that hasnt been happening for six or seven years, long before Brexit, and no-one really seems to know why.

Bruegel is recruiting an EU funding project manager to join the Development Team (in charge of raising funds for Bruegel). She/he will be responsible for submitting proposals, managing, monitoring and developing all BRUEGEL projects with EU institutions in particular, but also Public Institutions/International Organizations when opportunities arise. http://www.cosmopolitalians.eu/eu-funding-project-manager-bruegel/

Global warming really is happening... (well, duh!)

Your first quote referred to Southern California whilst the second was about Northern California. From north to south the state is about 750 miles Thats about the same as from rainy Hampshire to the biggest, driest desert in Europe. At least try to not make a tit of yourself. Try Wiki GM. I really think you could manage at that level "The period between late 2011 and 2014 was the driest in California history since record-keeping began.....many millions of California trees died from the drought - approximately 102 million, including 62 million in 2016 alone.[59] By the end of 2016, 30% of California had emerged from the drought, mainly in the northern half of the state, while 40% of the state remained in the extreme or exceptional drought levels.[60] Heavy rains in January 2017 were expected to have a significant benefit to the state's northern water reserves, despite widespread power outages and erosional damage in the wake of the deluge." -
.. I don't know what I think about the intense positivity culture. On some levels its great, ive experienced it in the US as well - but Ive also seen people greet others saying how absolutely wonderful and awesome it is to see them again, and criticise them an hour later. Very hard to make it genuine and not false.

You should titled the thread 'Eric Black stuff'.

I think you'll find its the dessicated missing balls of UKIP MEPs.

Obviously no-one can say what long dead people would have done now in changed circumstances. However we know Churchill was supportive of the European project. He backed Macmillan and Heath as Tory leaders / PMs against eurosceptic candidates. He was clearly pro close European co-operation in many spheres - was prepared to pool some sovereignty to secure benefits and even to contribute forces to a European army.

Immigration could rise after Brexit. Liam Fox has admitted that he doesnt know of any trade deals which do not include preferential treatment for the citizens of trade partners. #wegotourcountrybackandkickedthewogsoutermactuallywait

"our task is to re-create the European Family, or as much of it as we can, and provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety and in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe" Winston Churchill, Zurich 1949
