My word there are some sensitive souls about. For good or bad the EU has always been liberal with its flag-deployment, as have many member states. What's a little amusing about the British situation is not those neatly creased (and probably fake - I doubt they could ever flutter) flags...

"Brilliant to see BritishfoodBCS more than double its exports to the Flag of United States – our largest single country trading partner. Government backing from @UKEF is helping them bring classic British food and drink to countries around the world. Trade = jobs" Lovely tweet from Liz Truss...

The Guardian was simply reporting on a book. And would you say that everyone who calls this duplicitous little disgrace a liar is a liar?

If you're saying that expediency is playing a part among remainers then I for one will hold my hand up. You're right. I would have kept it down if Remain had won. But there again, court cases are usually instituted by the aggrieved. Your hypothesis doesn't really work though because whilst...

That depends entirely on the results of the match now being played. Let us hope we both end the day well.

I won't change my mind that given the specific circumstances surrounding the vote and its emerging consequences it would have been reasonable to have offered the people the chance to confirm or otherwise their decision but that's in the past and I accept what has now happened. Boris is king, the...

Goodo. I thought you'd swerve the point.

Your post is predicated on a definition of 'ignore' that far exceeds normal usage. The emergence of the previously-concealed implications of the Brexit decision contributed to two parliaments falling before their time and the electorate being prematurely requested to come up with a new decision...

The fact that you can be constantly amused by something that exists only in your head is alarming. (Unless the 'them' in your post was a reference to the far-right, spitting, facially tattooed, video camera-wielding Brexit cheerleaders being shepherded away by police in Parliament Square last...

Most of us who are lifetime supporters of an habitually lower-league football team have a strong sense of place. I am pleased I was born in Brighton, and feel a close connection with Sussex, Lincolnshire and my country. That's enough for me - to tell someone that my places are definitely better...

I don't have you on ignore. But I have been a LibDem member for many years. I am used to pain.

No one has said that NATO or UN membership is 'virtually the same as EU membership". The suggestion is that membership of international bodies (and sometimes the signing of international treaties) leads to reductions in sovereignty, all of them different and some of them quite severe...

I think sovereignty is very important. It's a nuanced issue though. In any case I'm not convinced that anyone voting for a party that signed an international treaty committing the country to controls over goods moving around within its own borders can claim any sort of high ground on the subject.

It might be about placating the Unionists but to me it looks like a straightforward Indyref2 ploy. Johnson wants a huge Scottish infrastructure project on the table so he can assure the Scots that it will really happen if they vote No to independence, and definitely won't if they say Yes. If...

Just to remind you...

The only trouble is that you have a bit of previous when it comes to walking away from arguments, ignoring quietly made points, going silent for a day and then returning with one of your self-defined and entirely irrelevant funnies on some other matter. For example, when I pasted a sober blog...

Answers or not, it would be nice to have rational views. Let's hope we get more than a ppf video.

David Green's excellent Law & Policy Blog touches on Brexit this week. It makes some points I see as fundamental. I reproduce it here simply to add to the debate. I am sure Pastafarian, JCFG and others will have a view. Sovereignty – why the question needs to keep on being asked of Brexit as...

I'm sorry to point this out but I think you may have posted the wrong video. This one is mainly about the problems exporters are having as a result of Brexit. It does then go on to talk about new doors having opened for trade with the US and Canada but as everyone knows that no new doors...

There really is very little point trying to debate anything with you. All you do is rush around the perimeter fence making squeaky little jibes. My view is as stated - the EU is paying the price for turning up late at the vaccine store. And yes, I would be saddened if the supply variations...
