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:

News flash - Brexit hasn't happened yet...

What's wrong with it is that the Irish are effectively stealing tax dollars from the US, whilst benefiting from the effective protection afforded to them under NATO. They spend the lowest on defence in the EU as a percentage of GDP, lower than their fellow tax dodgers, Luxembourg. Still, the Germans are equally bad at shirking common defence spending, while the UK is the highest. No wonder Trump is going to pull out of NATO with these EU free loaders around. If Putin ever wanted to invade Europe, he'd just have send a couple hundred Russian commando's over to Cork and march to Dublin in about a day. How Trump would laugh at the tax Apple HQ being overrun...

This extract from KPMG is a hoot: No surprise that the Jean-Claude Juncker led EU failed to blacklist Luxembourg. From 1995 to 2013 he was the 23rd Prime Minister of Luxembourg, and from 1989 to 2009 he was the Minister for Finances. Still, at least the EU expressed regret. What a corrupt bunch...

Actually, I'll have a go at the Irish economic riddle. Apple sets up a company in Ireland to take advantage of the low (let's say 0-3% in Apple's case) corporation tax. They have iphones made in China for, let's say, £150. They sell them in Europe for £650 through the Irish company and book the profit in Dublin and the selling price adds to the Irish GDP. Apple then saves on the pesky US corporation tax of 21%, pays the Irish the square root of eff all in tax and the job's a good 'un. I'll let you guess how many Apple stores there are in Ireland. Maybe the EU don't give a sh! t about the tax haven that Ireland is, because the Irish has enough money now to pay the EU off in budget contributions. It's the least they can do. Their status upsets a few countries, though. Brazil have the Irish worked out and despite an effort to be removed from Brazil's blacklist in a St. Patricks day visit in May, they still rank up there with Panama, as reported recently in the Times: Still, as long as the EU Parliament doesn't believe Ireland is a tax haven, I doubt there is too much concern in Dublin: I'm constantly surprised that the lefties on here are so in thrall of the EU. I'd have thought they'd be the first to be up in arms regarding the EU vote above.

Oh, look, Mr. * has done a google search and come up with the fact that Ireland has twice as much industry as a share of GDP as Britain. The * insults don't bother me in the slightest, but your post shows the danger of letting a half wit have internet access. I'll provide you with a search term you can use when trying to get your little mind round the Irish economy. "Leprechaun economics" and Still, I'm willing to be educated by the genius like you on the details of the Irish economic miracle, since they were last bailed out by the British government, when it lent Ireland £3.2bn in 2010, with final repayment due in March 2021. Ireland has now paid £358 million (€428 million) in interest to the UK on a crisis loan it gave to the State in 2010. While you're at it, explain the Irish economic growth to Paul Krugman, at the same time. He doesn't get it, either... Ireland, the land of tax dodging US corporations, screwing the US treasury out of billions and paying off the Irish government. When Brexit happens and Trump goes after them, they'll be coming back to Britain with the begging bowl again. No wonder they don't want Brexit to happen...

Ireland, where US corporate tax dodgers are welcome. Without them and the EU money the Irish used to get, the economy will revert to growing potatoes. No wonder they don't want the UK to leave. They will have to pay more into the EU....

So, what we have in the current reality is the Germans printing money so that other countries can afford to buy their goods. When I was younger, you only saw BMW's and Mercedes in rich countries. Now they even have them in Ireland. There's a tax dodging economic riddle. From potatoes to dot com in no time (and no tax). Please, can someone tell me what the Irish make? Seriously....how does that economy work?

You realise that what you are seeing, when you take your mobility scooter into town, is the effect of amazon dot effing com, not the EU? Jeez...
