Nope, not at all. I'm not presenting it as a panacea for the problems faced by the UK. I object to the influence the gulf states have over this country and I fail to see why known enablers of murder shouldn't be shot.

Those are personal views I will stand by.

That's enough troll food for one night, can't have you gorging yourself and placing a strain on the NHS.

You are not presenting anything that will stop terrorism. It is politically driven drivel that highlights your disjointed and simple view of the world.

Nice little dig at the end. Shame it's bollocks.

It does feel like it's starting to unravel. Dementia tax debacle plus cuts in all public services starting to show their damaging impact. Weak and wobbly.

When Labour make serious progress in Scotland and are likely to get 20 plus seats there, then we'll judge the Tories as 'weak and wobbly'.

Nothing at all to do with Blair, Mandelson, & Straw opening the floodgates of course?

A key function of statesmanship should be to provide against preventable evils. Governments for many years have taken the view that if only people could be stopped talking about it, it probably wouldn't happen. They knowingly shirk it, deserve, and increasingly receive, the curses of those who come after.

Tories weak and wobbly independent of what Labour are doing.

EU 27 already legally locked in to not discussing a trade deal until after divorce settlement, citizens rights and Irish border are settled. David Davis has already lost the "row of the summer". Weak and wobbly.

They will still win and have a majority.

You must be very proud of the long tradition of communist subversion in Cambridge.

Still 2 weeks to go so hopefully we can avoid such a crisis. They are the party of lies, flip-flopping, u-turns, backsliding, smokescreens, cuts, foodbanks, stagnating wages, increasing the debt, taking consumer debt back to record dangerous levels, no plan for Brexit.

Weak and wobbly. A vote for Tories is a vote for uncertainty (manifesto not costed and u-turns aplenty, plus no realism or genuine cooperative leadership on Brexit). It's a vote for more cuts to public services. It's a vote for the grossly unfair dementia tax. It's a vote for instability in our security. It's a vote for diminishing workers rights and tax cuts for the wealthy. It's a vote for a weak economy and a wobbly (dear) leader.

For alleged 'former Tories' like you I've long since come to understand that up is down.

Perhaps you should write a blog. Nick could read it then.

Brilliant comeback in what is meant to be a discussion of the merits of the various options on offer in this election and the issues involved.

Tories have their heads in the sand over Brexit and can't be trusted to get us a good deal. A good deal is achievable, but only with the right fiscal policy (Tories plans won't deliver) and only by making reasonable concessions on both sides, not by making threats or making the UK into some sort of tax haven.


And if communist subversion has ever been a tradition in Cambridge then perhaps it's a model for elsewhere (this is the first I've ever heard of such a conspiracy theory). Cambridge is a lovely place to live. It's a beautiful city with great architecture, arts, restaurants and pubs, small businesses, a centre of academic excellence, a world famous science, research and tech hub, a large business park, good schools, big tourism industry. All in all a vibrant and prosperous city. House prices are quite high mind, but they are building tons of new houses and flats (private enterprise leading the development).

What are you on about. What do you think is the opposite of fact here?

I've also linked an FT article that confirms this and you can find the story in other news sources. You can also find the document setting out the EU27's legally binding Brexit strategy which says these three items must be settled first. There won't be any budging on this. Davis or hopefully Kier Starmer needs to sit down on the 19th of June and start negotiating on these three points and stop posturing and issuing threats.
