I don't know why. He is usually wrong on many of his points. A good Russian bot usually twists facts or exaggerates rather than be obviously wrong and can prove to be so on Google in seconds. Compare him to Tintin Storm and you know Nonsense is just an old opportunist.

I don't mean he's a bot, he just posts in a weird way, maybe I find weird and Russian synonymous subconsciously. Does that count as Russophobia? :lol:

Nah. He does write in a weird way. :lol:

He waffles and shouts (capitals). But that is how the elderly communicate vocally when a little senile. My guess is he speaks as he writes.

It's brilliant that they've basically told Johnson not to be stupid.

And that we're facing potential austerity + tax cuts + high debt.

Where this country's concerned.. the fucking fucker's fucked, to put it diplomatically.

At least I think before I speak BOycey, unlike some folks that I know of. 8) :lol:

If you think that I write in a 'weird' way, look at it from my point of view, I have to read your post, they are impossibly weird I might say, they make reading hieroglyphics a doddle. :evil: :peace:

As for 'shouting' BOycey, some folks 'shout' if they are Deaf & 'deafness' is not altogether related to age only.

Sometimes, it has to be said, other posters are 'tone deaf', they repeatedly, either ignore reading another poster's complete message, or, perhaps they are 'dyslexic', maybe it's just their way of articulating their lack of comprehension, when it comes to plain English. :flamer:

Are you 'Irish' by any chance? :evil:

We have had austerity for 10 years now, along with tax cuts(for the wealthy & better-off's)& the national debt is,depending on what stats you believe, between 3 or 4 x, what it was when Labour left, I mean, were kicked out by the electorate in 2010, so, it's not that we are potentially facing them, when that's the reality of the last 10 years.

I write simplistic and direct. Reason. Clarity. Unlike you who writes ten paragraphs on the same (wrong) point.

We are now at the stage where he has nowhere to go but be stupid. He stood on a platform saying he can get a deal better than May and what he is discovering now is Mays deal is the only deal on offer. Which means we are left with no deal. I would rather wish someone, anyone, try and remove him from office at this point. But the parties would rather fight who should be intern leader than take how dangerous this fucking moron is seriously.

I wouldn't disagree with your opinion there,but, things can only get better(in time),when you think they cannot get any worse than they are.

How quickly we 'adjust', is the key to the future, as yet, we are are not seeing the investment that's been trumpeted around & that needs to change.

I'm with Beren, but don't necessarily think he's Russian. American, maybe.

Although some Russians do sound American.

He's definitely not British, anyway. British people don't use quotation marks all the bloody time.

Nobody has to be British or even live here to have an opinion, but I wish they'd be honest about it.

What I'm seeing is people are blaming the EU for his failure to strike a deal and not him

I fear for the future. I can't see him ever going.

There is no way in a gazillion years that Corbyn will win an election.

What that stubborn old git is doing, is delivering us all into the hands of the Tories for ever and ever

Well PoFo is an eye opener on how many Brexiteers out there who aren't even British, but he has already declared himself British and I have no reason to doubt that. He is an elderly, deaf gentlemen who hopes Brexit will give him a better pension but hasn't realised he going to be paying more instead with inflation.

The EUs red lines are nothing new. Those who blame the EU also complain that our red lines are paramount over theirs. Why?

Mays deal is as good as it can get which is why we should have had a confirmatory vote on that deal.

There is no way in a gazillion years that Corbyn will win an election.

Win an election. No. But he could be PM in a coalition. Although really the Remain parties are fighting amongst themselves than uniting that is stopping a true momentum for their movement and galvanising the Tories I would say.

Rugoz wrote:- Isn't Stormont the official representative body of NI? The EU acts as if the DUP is some kind of illegitimate political party. But the EU can propose a referendum instead.


The power-sharing agreement in NI means that both sides have to agree to important decision. It doesn't mean that one side gets to dictate it's will on the other. Those who pretend that NI is to decide its own future ought to respect the referendum result, or shut up.

As to the rest, it is pure nonsense to separate the customs from the regulatory border. In reality, both depend on each other. A customs border is a legal border and not some sort of technical device. Even in the unlikely event that there will be zero tariffs, there still needs to be a customs border. An FTA is not a customs union, no matter how low the tariffs are set.

I don't understand why anybody bothers to discuss these proposals since even No. 10 doesn't take them serious. They are simply to put up a pretense of negotiating when no negotiation is going on.

“Boris Johnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game,” European Council President Tusk said on Twitter. “At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?”


A disorderly Brexit could rip apart the United Kingdom, endager the peace in Northern Ireland, hurt global growth and shape the future of the European Union which was built on the World War Two ruins of Europe.

The pound was down 0.5% at $1.2226.


May failed because she bound herself to the mast of some imaginary red lines, Boris will fail because he has bound himself to a date. The deterioration of UK politics is exponential.

Oh FFS the Speccy.

I made the mistake of getting a free trial sub with them, ended up trying to rid myself of every issue of the bloody rag.It's the worst.

I wouldn't trust a single word they write, unless it's a specialist guest writer..
