If there is one thing that most confuses me about the railway is the concept of a “commuter” train. It’s almost as if the railway has this conception that a “commuter” train is one devoid of any kind of comfort at all. The railway is going to struggle to get to the levels of passenger numbers it...

There are some very big flaws in your argument. Firstly unless the EU parliament ratifies the deal agreed before Christmas then the UK has no deal with the EU and we default back to WTO rules. So unless BoJo stops his belligerence over the NI protocol and the EU ambassador's diplomatic status...

With the way things are going right now I think it’s highly likely that 640 billion of trade with the EU will be decimated. Already exports to the EU are down by a massive amount. The EU is exercising its full sovereign rights to impose full checks on goods from the UK, the UK keeps on putting...

This all started with BoJo refusing to give the EU ambassador full diplomatic status and the tit for tat has just continued on and on. I think it’s safe to say that UK relations with Europe are very very bad right now and will probably continue to be difficult for the foreseeable future. The...

If the EU pulls out of the trade agreement signed before Christmas just watch the pound fall like a stone. The UK needs friends from around the world very very quickly. Begging to join the CPTPP which means sacrificing sovereignty which Brexiteers claimed was so so important. Having to follow...

It’s interesting isn’t it that it was perfectly acceptable for the UK to threaten to break international law but the EU makes a silly mistake by threatening to enact a legal border stoppage, and Brexiteers jump all over it as reason for breaking the agreement that BoJo signed up to. BoJo clearly...

Ow and another thing. Because of the sheer size of the EU the Euro is considered the second most important currency after the Greenback (i.e the dollar). So when the UK loses Euro clearing to Germany or France because the belligerence of BoJo, the UK will have lost a crucial link to the second...

I believe old BoJo is the most unscrupulous politician ever so simply because he has said that the AZ vaccine is safe I will not be having a vaccine if it’s the AZ one that I am offered. I truly believe that when the true realities of Brexit are realised and the Covid pandemic is in the past the...

I seem to remember your belittling Sanofi for their failed attempt at their first vaccine. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the AZ vaccine is being questioned it is all very very different isn't it. I don't trust a word BoJo says so if he says its safe I will not take it. 1615886976 The UK...

Anyone remember the likes of the Daily Express belittling Sanofi for their failed attempt at their first vaccine trails? Simply because Sanofi is a french pharma company.

Ive read that a lot of issues within Buck House reside around newer “servants” not being onboard with the Royals being the most important family in Britain. Older servants have complained that newer generations are questioning whether their life is less important than that of the Monarchy. The...

Yup! We don’t get a vote on applying to join the CPTPP despite the fact it means us following the rules of the CPTPP even though we will have no say in the rules of said trade bloc. The hypocrisy is unreal! Complain about the EU “dictating“ rules to the mighty UK yet the UK had a major impact in...

I did think that was highly amusing. An unelected bureaucrat who has muscled his way into the cabinet is now lecturing the EU's supposedly "Unelected bureaucrats" on sovereignty. Apparently he threatened to quit if BoJo didn’t give him a top job in the cabinet and oust Gove (an elected MP). You...

The extreme "hard Brexit" pursued by BoJo has definitely soured relations with the EU going forwards. I think trade between the UK and EU will get less and less as the EU simply does not trust the UK Govt anymore. I have read that the EU is looking for legislation to have all Euro-denominated...

I think it is fair to say that the railway as a whole is going to need to change its stance on passenger comfort going forwards. It was noted that Northern went for the cheapest seats possible despite them being disliked by opinion surveys. To encourage people back to the railway's post Covid...

Bins are being retrofitted

Remember we are going to be importing fruits from halfway across the globe just to stick two fingers up at Spain. I was highly supprised to hear how many people have been booking holidays to Europe this year. Surely that goes against everything Brexit was about, relying on the EU for a sunny...

Sorry to burst your bubble on this @21C101 but George Eustace has already pledged that the UK will not be lowering food standards post Brexit, that is unless he point blank lied on camera. We are all ver very well aware how much the likes of the Telegraph are trying to push out the post Brexit...

From what I can gather from Brexiteers they want and demand the following: Full control of borders of the UK but expect unfettered access to the EU Full ability to diverge from EU rules of the single market and customs union but still expect to be able to trade freely with the EU. Full access...

So after the BoJo Govt accused the EU of "vaccine nationalism" it turns out that BoJo had a stipulation in the AZ contract that all vaccine doses being made in the UK would go to the UK first and the UK would get all its allocation before anywhere else. I mean wow. To accuse others of vaccine...
