My point is that the incentive for global car manufacturers to either invest in the UK, the EU or countries outside the EU has very little to do with Brexit and everything to do with the demands of their shareholders. The UK government has little influence over where businesses invest apart from tax and other financial incentives. I doubt tariffs are a significant factor, otherwise Ford would not have invested in Turkey.

This development and that surrounding it, together with the Harbour Hotel at Ocean Village, have transformed Southampton, IMHO and are reasons to visit the city. A walk from West Quay, along the old walls to the Jetty restaurant, via the pubs along the way, is a great way to spend a day and offers as much as anything in London.

What I find hilarious is the fact that the media have been crying about the possibility of JLR reducing their investment in the UK, post Brexit, when 4 years before the referendum, the EU lent Ford £150m to move the transit factory from Eastleigh to Turkey, with the loss of 4,000 jobs. Turkey? Isn't that outside the EU? No wonder we voted to get out...

We have more Polish inhabitants than any other city outside London. Most recent figures show that there are now 25,000 Poles living in the city. With a population of around 240,000, that means more than one in ten is Polish.

Shirley is a sh !thole, as is Millbrook, Thornhill, Woolston and Sholing. As Britain, unlike Portugal, is a net contributor to the EU, the citizens of Shirley, Millbrook, Thornhill, Woolston and Sholing haven't seen the benefits of the EU, in terms of money and investment, unlike much of southern Europe. It is mainly for this reason that they and people like them across the country, voted to exit the EU, much to the surprise of the out of touch London political elite. They also expected that, having provided an answer to the question asked at the referendum, the political elite, would be able to work out a mechanism to get them the f*** out of the EU, with the minimum of damage. Apparently they were wrong. Now the political elite in London and the EU are treating them like idiots. They are making a BIG mistake.

Personally, I think private sector tax payers are the only citizens that should be allowed to chose the government that spends their money, or gives it away...

EU Freeloaders: I think NATO have got the message, here:

F*** me, it's Jean Claude Juncker's love child. Can I take this opportunity to thank the EU for letting an idiot like me have a vote?

Yeah, right. How about best out of three?

The games up for Theresa May. Let's hope her statement to the Commons at 3:30 PM is her resignation.

A tragedy that an innocent victim was exposed to a lethal dose of this compound. It is quite clear that the point of this attack was not to assassinate an ex-Russian spy, but to spread terror against enemies of the state. If they wanted to kill Sergei Skripal, they would have shot him, FFS. Russia is a terrorist state, and I look forward to politicians from all sides of the political divide condemning them. I'm not holding my breath, though...

Sums it up for me. These remain chumps couldn't, couldn't, have been further wide of the mark in terms of the effect of a leave vote on the economy, so how can they be trusted to be correct about the effect of Brexit on the economy, when it actually happens. What is incredible to me is the level of arrogance in their supposed knowledge, with no evidence to the support it. Best left on ignore, the lot of them. Pity I can't do that for the biased media in general. We need Trump...

I have handled "nerve agents" more times than this guy has had hot dinners, in quantities enough to wipe out the entire population of New Zealand. The most toxic compound I worked on was terbufos, an organophosphate used to control corn rootworm in the US. Terbufos has a dermal toxicity of 1 mg/kg, which means a lethal dose of around 80 mg applied to the skin, for an adult male (one drop). Organophosphates are generally oily liquids that are called nerve gases because in military use, they are vapourised in delivering the compound, much the same as nicotine (which has a lethal dose of around 500 mg) is when it is delivered to nicotine addicts. That compound is safely ingested via vapes by millions of people every day. The dose defines the poison, as they say. My research work involved reducing the toxicity of terbufos formulations, so that the product could be safely handled. If you're interested, my invention is detailed here. In the years I handled these compounds, I obviously wore protective clothing and had my cholinesterase levels checked every month. Only once did I have a low level of cholinesterase, so was placed on the bench for a month, until my levels normalised. As a precaution I had a syringe of atropine ready in case of an accident in the emergency shower room. Apart from one low reading, no one, including me, was ever affected by the chemicals we were working on. The product is still marketed in the US, here. The Russians are amateurs, by the way....

This is a must read paper of his: Clever guy. Clever enough to get the hell out of Italy and spout b0ll0x in San Francisco with all the other liberal academic grant chasers. What the f*** he brings to the debate about an Indian car maker threatening the British government if things don't go their way, is a mystery to me. Trump is calling the tune now, in terms of the global economy and we'd better get ready to listen to him.

Pretty vacant summed me up back then...

I've been posting on football forums for a while. Use the search function if you're interested in the b0ll0x I've posted in the past. I started out posting on the old BBC 606 forum. This was a piece I did for the BBC web site and shows what a good looking b@st@rd I was back in the day. I was an internet sensation...

Basically because of this pile of dog sh!t that the Treasury provided before the vote to leave, nearly two years ago: Still, the traitors on here would prefer to talk the country down and continue to ignore the democratic will of the people. As Rudolph Churchill said in his famous speech over 120 years ago:
