Which is a silly question to ask. A growing population obviously needs housing, but that's never done by just building new cities. It's about using the housing we already have most effectively and allowing sensible amounts of new housing to be built. Increasing population isn't a problem caused...

That's just ridiculous. There's no way ex-prime ministers are in any way gullible. They're probably the most well informed and briefed people in the UK. They're the people that have sat on the top tables and know what other leaders around the globe think/want/expect/would like. Most importantly...

Shall we quote what it says correctly; "It would be better for the U.K. to stay in the E.U. It would also be better for the E.U., because Britain provides political and intellectual balance. Finally, it would be better for the United States, which doesn’t need a major ally — Britain — to go...

+1 on the Pro-Edge here too

Interesting to read a view point from a well respected overseas newspaper to see how others see this referendum choice: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... story.html

Do you want a serviceable tool or an ornament ? Unless you have some serious rust and pitting, some wet & dry will do the job just fine with some protective wax when finished. As long as the banjo moves smoothly the surface colour isn't important.

How you choose to misinterpret the information is up to you. What I was pointing out is that if we're stupid enough to leave the EU there will still be big subsidies available for the multi-nationals to move into mainland Europe from the EU and many will. Attracting new inward investment into...

Might be worth considering that these incentives for multinationals to work in Europe won't stop if the UK leaves the EU. However there will be no more EU money to assist the same companies to invest in the UK.

Not forgotten, just not mentioned. Yes, they didn't get their representation either. It's wrong and a part of the evidence that current UK democracy is deeply failed and shouldn't be held as a better example than that of the EU.

<sounds of hollow laughter>

Sadly, first past the post really doesn't offer democracy, just a pale substitute for it. Try asking any younger people that voted Liberal the election before last what they think of FPtP democracy and see how they were betrayed. Or the million people who voted for the Green party and only got a...

VW still are very good at low CO2 emissions, it's NO2 pollutants that are/were the issue. They got caught, others get away with it. (See the Panorama last year that investigated the issue. VW three times over the claimed NO2 emission, Vauxhall so bad it was off the scale)

As listening to Gove who famously wanted 'every school to be above average' ..... with that grasp of mathematics he's now talking about finance ??? <shudder>

To be fair to Axminster, I've found their manuals to be very good. They all seem to be written in the UK and make sense. Also credit to them for freely making them easily available on their sales pages so you can see what you're letting yourself into before purchase. The problem seems to be how...

This is a tricky one. What else can they do ? send a letter ? Most broadband issues get fixed so quickly that would be a waste of time and money. As you said, you picked up the details via a phone connection. I think having a second access to email via phone is now very common and for many a...

Actually yes. Work with Europeans and you'll find they like the idea of being a "European" whilst still having their own regional identity. This seems to be core of the issue; Can you be English* and European ? Most mainland Europeans I've talked to seem happy with it, not so sure about people...

A perfectly reasonable response really. The EU doesn't want to see the whole European economy sent into turmoil and decline.

Don't let your prejudices get in the way. It's simple common sense. You wouldn't re-admit a failing state unless it would be beneficial to the overall community. I also think that they would see us as "pathetically small minded and petty" to have left in the first place.

Highly unlikely. It's already been hinted at that any exit would be regarded very badly by the other EU states, hence the worry about punitive trade deals etc. memories of an insult like leaving won't be forgotten. The idea we would be welcomed back seems deeply flawed. It would only happen if...

The problem with this figure plucked out of the net is the 'per capita' fallacy. Membership of the EU isn't some sort of individual fee chargeable to every citizen, it's a percentage of it's overall tax haul. Hence why successful counties, like the UK pay more than the less successful ones like...
