  1. No deal Brexit cannot be off the table since it is still the default position. MPs will not be able to force a deal on he UK people. It will require a referendum to obtain a new mandate. The existing deal agreed with Mrs May is dead.

  2. The EU is still chasing the myth of ever increasing GDP and globalisation. They do not yet understand that this is what is destroying the planet. This is 20th century thinking.

  3. Ironic really, since their leader has been indicted as a war criminal.

  4. This prince thinks he is living in the 12th century. Killing animals for pleasure has no place in the modern world. Who might ask the question if there is a place for princes, time he found a real job, maybe cleaning out the animal enclosures at a zoo.

  5. The EU has clear exercised control to ensure the Italian government is not Eurosceptic. Only a pro EU government will be allowed to form a government in Italy. Democracy is only allowed in the EU provided it is in support of the EU.

  6. But Mr Trump assured the world that global warming was fake news. So sure was he, that he stopped scientific research into global warming and removed the term for the US government dictionary.

  7. The UK said it would not extend the transition period and the EU was forced to agree.

  8. Is the argument that MEPs have the right to be corrupt?

  9.  @toughtalk747  do you lack Imagination? Do you always take comments so literally? I observed how human the behaviour of these animals appeared, showing considerable intelligence. I then observed that humans fail to recognise that animals are both intelligent and have emotions and therefore deserve considerable more respect and compassion than they currently receive from humans. How on earth could you interpret this as criticism of the zoo or the animal zoo keepers? It seem that not only do we underestimate the intelligence of animals, it is sometimes possible to overestimate the intelligence of humans.

  10. The EU is good on symbolism, but short on practicalities.

  11. The trial has another purpose. In a world where AI and robots take most the jobs, some mechanism must be found to keep the world's economy working. Intelligent robots do not consume or pay taxes, they do not respond to advertising and do not have needs. So if all the work is done by robots and most humans are unemployed, who is going to buy the products the robots produce?

  12. Barnier seems far too happy. Can't help thinking that a deal has already been agreed and what we are seeing is theatrics to persuade the uk people to accept it.
    16
  13. This is going to upset the French.
    16
  14. The french police ware masks, so their identities are safe. The only reason for the law is to hide the illigal behaviour of the police.

  15.  Nemo Krada  humans are far better equipped to defend themselves. Not yet seen a gorilla or orangutan with an AK-47, RPG or IED.

  16. They are only holding hands in case one of them has a dagger.
    16
  17. Note they are identified as migrants, not refugees. That means they are illegally entering Europe.
    16
  18. Obviously, still seeking to avoid the attention of the press, and keep a low profile.
    15
  19. If they could be videoed, why could they not be freed? This is disgusting and shameful behaviour. Let them out and give them a chance. I suppose by keeping them in the cages to drown, will make claiming on the insurance easier. I do hope the insurance companies see the video and refuse to pay.

  20. What is happening in gaza can be traced directly to the Hamas attack on 7/10/23. It is an indisputable fact that had the hamas attack not happened, all the subquent deaths and destruction in gaza would not have happened. The right wing Israeli government would not have had the excuse to attack Gaza. Now is not the time to recognising Palestine as an independent state, it should have happened before the 7/10 attack, but that would have been difficult with hamas in control of Gaza. Now it can only happen if hamas relinquishes control of gaza and releaes all the Israeli hostages. The recognition by Ireland and the rest, is simply a palliative to ease the troubled conscience of the Europeans, it will not have any practical outcome while Hamas is still in control of Gaza. Just as Hamas started the recient conflict by kicking the israili hornets nest, it could easily stop it by releasing the hostages and giving up control of Gaza. Then would be the time to recognise Palestine as a seperate state, as the international pressure on Israel to withdraw its forces would be overwhelming. Hamas must not be rewarded for making martyrs out of the innocent people of Gaza. They cannot be allowed to claim victory, as terrorism cannot be shown to work.

  21. Did they really think that burning down the old camp would get them a free ticket into Europe? Not a chance.

  22. This is serious , the EU has lost their chief negotiator, now they only have Barnier to force the Brexit deal through.

  23. Russia is attempting to set up the conditions to invade the rest of the Ukraine. At some point the west must decide if it will respond or allow the Ukraine to be occupied. Putin has a long term plan to regain control of the states that were once in the USSR. It is all about russian pride. Russia, appears to be following Hitler's model of conquest, there are disturbing similarities between the annexing of Crimea and the sudetenland. Both are justified by the ethnic makeup of the local population.

  24. If the migrants cannot get into the EU,they will Go to Belarus.
    15
  25. They are not defending their home land, they are fighting to stealing someone else's. Conscript is another name for cannon fodder, also known as Ukrainian targets. We know that Z stands for zombie, the walking dead, soon to be converted to simply dead.

  26. Eurostar is a French owned company. So this is something of an own goal.

  27. Another reason not to buy a new car. No doubt all eurocrat's cars will be exempt from this rule. Set the maximum limit at 30kph and maybe battery powered vehicles will be viable and have a useful range.

  28. If Trump followed the example of his pal Kim, firing them would have a completely different meaning.

  29. Oh I bet Boris is greatly disappointed by this ban, I sure it was his number 1 chosen holiday destination. There is nothing like going on holiday in a recreation of a 1960s cold war theme park.

  30. Very brave of lukashenko to let so many troops out of the country. A really good time for a local coup d'etat, it's not as if the Russians are going to help, they are too busy retreating elsewhere. In fact several Russian occupied states may take advantage of the situation.

  31. Germany and Austria will have talks with Italy. Translation: Germany and Austria will gang up and bully Italy into taking migrants back to solve their local political problems.

  32. 36 civilisations and 1 very uncivilised one.

  33. Erdogan sees Turkey as the moderate leader of Islamic world. It is a challenge to Saudi Arabian. He is unlikely to succeed because moderate, leader and Islam seems to be incompatible. The fact that Erdogan is trying shows the connection between the religion and political power.

  34. An example of EU double think, nationalism poses a threat to Poland's independence, but following the orders of the EU is good for independence.

  35. Trump needs to look closer to home to find out who has been raising the US piggy bank. It is republican super rich elite who have embraced the globalist philosophy and thus have no real loyalty to the US who have exported US industry's offshore. They have optimistically exported US industry to low wage countries that are not impeded by environmental protection laws inorder to increase their personal wealth. Ironically, part of Trump's solution is to adopt low wages in the US and repeal US environmental protection laws in a race to the bottom. The real problem is that international trade rules do not allow states to use trade tariffs to protect their home markets and level a trading playing field that is biased in favour of exploiting poorer countries or those who have dictators who can suppress workers rights and environmental protection laws. No tariffs, no subsidies and no barriers will not work, because it will result in a race to the lowest common denominator. The US cannot compete with the likes of China and India, using the trade rules that Trump proposes. The only way this would work would be US workers having the same rights and social conditions as Chinese and indian workers.

  36. So still two large towns worth per year. Exactly where are we going to put all these people? What are they going to do? What are they going to eat, after we have built on all the productive farm land, a lot of which is going to disappear under the North sea in a few years time?

  37. I know of someone else who says a similar claim is FAKE NEWS. Can you guess who?
    13
  38. In this case the French have a valid point. However, post brexit the French will not have access to UK waters. In both cases it is important that environmental protection is paramount. All fishing must be sustainable and not damage the environment.

  39. The multinationals have shown they have more power than governments.

  40. A year ago the police were arresting people for wearing masks that evaded facial recognition, how times have changed.

  41. Ideal, a corrupt state leading a corrupt super state, they were made for each other.
    12
  42. What the UK wants is the common market it joined, not the federal super state that the EU is morphing into.
    12
  43. So the Iranians have fallen for a US/UK trap. The US will now be able to take whatever action it wants, with the full backing of the international community. It make the Iranians nothing more than pirates under international law. The EU will be force to withdraw support for the nuclear deal and comply with US sanctions, and all it cost was one oil tanker.

  44. The EU is a fascist organisation, can we expect protests against the EU?
    12
  45. This is the Chinese government showing desperation.

  46. It is now interesting that the countries that are lighting fires to clear land are all around the equator. These are the areas that will be the first to be rendered uninhabitable by climate change. So those lighting the fires are signing their own death warrants. When they have turned their own countries into super hot deserts, they are unlikely to be welcomed into the more temperate regions as refugees. In other words, if you burn your own house down to make a profit, do not expect to be allowed to move in with your neighbours.

  47. We are not crashing out of the eu, we are leaving having to refused to give in to EU blackmailed.
    12
  48. Panic is spreading among the financial elite. They really do not want brexit.
    12
  49. Do the French still think the EU protect the workers? Macron is just doing what is sanctioned by the EU.
    12
  50. This is an April fool's, or at least it should be. This is like electing an arsonist to the society for fire safety.
