He uses the mute button a lot to rant over people once he sees a window to attack. Phone up his show with a stupid brexiteer character and idea next week and bet his team put you straight on and all over twitter. Easy.

When they read the rabid ramblings of this poster, they can see what's behind Brexit and why it has come this far. There really are people out there as deluded as this fella, and there are many. This is why the project hasn't been dumped long ago, or why it was even necessary in the first place. In fact, I believe Brexit is necessary to put this type of little Englander to bed once and for all. Then a more mature UK can emerge and take it's place in the world again.... if the UK doesn't survive, then England can emerge on it's own.

And once out and the UK is fine and as the EU melts the talk next generation will subside. Not in the slightest bit worried. Always follow through with Referendum results is the golden rule. Spain, Ireland and Denmark could learn from that.

There is a campaign to get some of the new frigate fleet made in the H&W yard in Belfast which would be a great economic boost to the area. I'm sure you will all support it.

In 2015, Russian information operations in the Czech Republic focused especially on: - weakening the strength of Czech media (covert infiltration of Czech media and the Internet, massive production of Russian propaganda and disinformation controlled by the state); - strengthening the information resistance of the Russian audience (prefabricated disinformation from Czech sources for the Russian audience); - exerting influence on the perceptions and thoughts of the Czech audience, weakening society’s will for resistance or confrontation (information and disinformation overload of the audience, relativization of truth and objectivity, promoting the motto “everyone is lyingâ€); - creating or promoting inter-societal and inter-political tensions in the Czech Republic (foundation of puppet organizations, covert and open support of populist or extremist subjects); - disrupting the coherence and readiness of NATO and the EU (attempts to disrupt Czech-Polish relations, disinformation and alarming rumors defaming the US and NATO, disinformation creating a virtual threat of a war with Russia); - damaging the reputation of Ukraine and isolating the country internationally (involving Czech citizens and organizations in influence operations covertly led in Ukraine or against it by Russia). The above-mentioned activities pose a threat to the Czech Republic, EU and NATO not only in relation to the Ukrainian and Syrian conflicts. The infrastructure created for achieving these goals will not disappear with the end of the two conflicts. It can be used to destabilize or manipulate Czech society or political environment at any time, if Russia wishes to do so.

A Dub in Glasgo wrote: » The other guy stated 'Most SNP seats voted leave'... I corrected him with the use of an easy to follow map The map shows which constituency had the majority leave (in blue) and the majority remain (in yellow) It is an indisputable fact that the majority of those that voted in NI and in Scotland voted to remain in the EU - I can post nothing to change that fact

downcow wrote: » Absolutely agree. Just let’s all stay in reality and accept it was pretty close everywhere incl the strongest remain areas and the strongest leave areas. My point is just that it was so close that it is irrelevant starting to break it down. The fact is the majority of uk voters voted to leave. And surprise surprise there were slight variations across the country
