  1.  @kloffus3  yes, after considerable coaxing & a Court case or 2 the Leave campaigns were investigated, found to have accepted something like £14million of difficult-to-trace Russian money filtered through Arron Banks' Isle of Man bank & passed on to Cambridge Analytica taking them around £10million over budget, fined to the fullest extent available to the Electoral Commission & passed on to the Police. After which we have heard nothing. Darren Grimes, favourite of TV talk shows, fashion student at the time, was one of those fined. It wasn't obvious he had funds to pay the fines but seems to have survived unscathed. The EU also investigated but it seems to have been outside their jurisdiction so did nothing. No doubt it was discussed during closed-door parts of the Brexit negotiations.

  2.  @kloffus3  the Russia Report was eventually published in July 2020, the Wikipedia page Intelligence and Security Committee Russia report has links in the External Links section at the bottom of the article

  4. What am I missing here? As far as I am aware a Bill of Rights sets out the sum total of all Rights, any Right not on the Face of the Bill is withdrawn (in extremis even the right to breathe). As far as I am aware this is in direct contravention of a fundamental principle of English Law -- "everything is permitted unless it is prohibited or constrained"

  5. but they don't rule, Parliament rules.

  6. Of course there's neither recognition nor solution, it's deliberate & the plans have been running since 1979!

  7.  @handarokadath1515  That's a confusing statement because you use 2 'T's in 'Scotts' & to my mind that means you're talking about either a defunct motorcycle manufacturer or a brand of porridge oats. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  8. @john atco, civil unrest is not something to worry on a personal basis, unless you live in the City of Westminster, because the large uprisings tend to come from fairly small areas & are generally pretty civilized till they get to their destination. The most geographically spread uprising was 1381 & it mostly came from the Thames & Medway valleys east of London. What you do have to worry about is the causes of unrest which are generally very widespread.

  9. A change from FPTP to PR requires.... a change from FPTP to PR. Full stop. End of sentence. Nothing else required. You might want a whole difficult package to go with it but it's not required to change to PR.

  10. as witnessed by the results of the last election.

  13. I believe you have a similar mechanism in the States? Possibly just the Republicans? I've never been there to check.

  15. I'm just waiting for him to wake up to a tent full of nasty bitey things. Or not wake up.

  16. 3:27 out-of-date PPE. Most of this was already in the country in warehouses handed over by the Blair/Brown Government & just locked by the Cameron/Clegg "government". Not cleared out & sold, just locked with the staff sacked. I don't know who set the warehouses up but I would expect it was some time in the late Victorian era or very soon after & handed to the NHS in 1948. They were properly manned, maintained & continuously updated till 2010 or possibly the 2012 Health & Social Care Act (the #LansleyReforms).

  17.  @peterebel7899  the "British mindset" has been reformed, that's the problem, likewise education. The British Constitution is built on the 1688 Bill of Rights just like the American, Canadian, Australian & quite a few other Constitutions, it's not the Constitution itself that's at fault, it's the way the thing has been walked all over by government after government for decades, possibly centuries with the Courts unable to do anything about it unless someone brings up a Court Case challenging some dodgy behaviour or other. Like the infamous Prorogation, the Courts should have been all over it from day one but they weren't even allowed to look, it took Gina Miller bringing a Case before they could act.

  18.  @nicadi2005  "I'm just wondering, do you ever stop long enough to reflect upon the UTTER CRAP you're spouting?" Well do you? The issues are with stalking, with hacking & with publication of lies. Proper journalism is not being questioned. (Lies are untruths that are known to be untrue).

  19. We never lost imperial measures for food - look at labels & see how many things are 454g (1lb), baked beans have always been 425g (15oz)(except M&S - 410g, 14½oz). The EU only ever required a translation into metric, the amount sold has always been down to the retailer.

  20.  @sumpplug  the RT-PCR test is so specific that it had to be adjusted to detect different variants of SARSCoV2. See: BMJ, NIH, WHO & many other authorities for confirmation.

  21.  @keithbrandon3660  find out how the jabs work before making inane comments like that.

  22. The Commonlaw offense of Misconduct In Public Office may be applicable.

  23.  @zooblestyx  & the electorate is supposed to be able to depend on the Press for information. That doesn't work either.

  24.  @davidgreen6490  slimy attacks on everyone else don't look well on Johnson & they don't look well on you either, if you want to defend Johnson just do it, defend him, tell us all something he's got right, tell us how his behaviour is right & proper in a global leader or in the leader of a country.

  25.  @seangoldthorpe3219  it's in their Constitution, informed people don't need to hear it out loud.

  26. That's why we need Leveson to be completed & even then it's just a starting point.

  27. are you talking about specific "fringe policies" or just a miasma plucked from the Press?

  28.  @jonathanwetherell3609  that's why Murdoch emigrated from Australia.

  29. @karlyoung6289, all laudable suggestions but what's needed is a Regulator which is genuinely independent & which has teeth. IMPRESS is Leveson-standard but the offending titles chose IPSO which is chaired by the Daily Mail's Paul Dacre.

  30. next group? Extinction Rebellion or Black Lives Matter

  31. Imagine voters' surprise when they discover that, despite 2 years of rhetoric & promises, starmer's flagship will neither make nor sell any energy whatsoever! I wonder if they will think they've been lied to yet again?

  32. it's propaganda the Torys have used since time immemorial.

  33.  @Tahia213  yep, the UK wanted to do things so differently the UK actually wrote half the 'EU rules'! The Single Market? Thatcher's idea... The EU isn't interested in the UK any more because they're looking for a new leader in rule-writing.

  38.  @rooksfoot1184  it's a new revelation to the general public, possibly to Parliament, but the top of the Tory party will have known from the outset.

  39. Phil is saying that all the Rights are still there but it becomes difficult or impossible to bring a Court case :'-(

  40.  @ThomasD7244  exactly that, it's Parliament & Torys in particular underpinning the class system not the Crown. Don't forget it was Parliament that put the Crown in place, we had a republic before they did that.

  41.  @pam-gw6uk  putting Tom Watson in there was a political bodge, an attempt at appeasement that failed.

  42. praying to prey?

  43.  @hornetgamer8980  Blair was at least a bit discreet about taking money & direction from Israelists, Starmer started out by stating "I am a Zionist" in public in front of cameras at a meeting of core Israel Lobbyists & then hired an Israeli spy & this immediately after Israelists very publicly kicked out his predecessor & deliberately lost 2 elections. Starmer's 'Register of Member's Interests' is chock full of people found by Lord Cashpoint. This is treason of the highest order -- Members of Parliament working for a foreign government. No, Starmer cannot be a 'rallying point'.

  44.  @Pstephen  PFI is a Tory idea, Blair just got the blame for it.

  45.  @danielcollinson4456  yep. Just like so many Americans that can't afford healthcare or are let down by insurance, we just die.

  46.  @mariogmajner6549  you literally said "launched in 1992 by Prime Minister John major" yet you blame Blair!

  47.  @wolfgangpreier9160  the chassis may well be Daimler (I can't find reference) but the body is a Neoplan, made in Poland & Germany using the EU's seamless free movement of goods.

  48. when SARS-1 was here in 2002 there were zero deaths.

  49.  @highpath4776  Murdoch emigrated to USA because their rules require that newspaper owners be citizens.

  50.  @highpath4776  a son & a daughter carry on, the other son has chosen to "pursue other interests" (playboy & wastrel from what I hear).
