Great Britain eh? So what about Northern Ireland then? (It is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). It is the United Kingdom that has left the EU. And flying the flag as you put it, whether literally or metaphorically speaking, need not have cost a quite unnecessary £900k which, as I have pointed out above, could have been spent in much more worthwhile ways given ...
I get the point but we need to fly the flag especially now, we are at long last free of of the EU and we need to advertise GREAT BRITAIN.

Leatash, it seems there will always be those who seem unable to get the point I am making. Yes I agree there will always be those who have and those who don't have.

Someone or someones dog is going to end up impaled and/or get a severe foot injury from all the sharp bits of metal lodged in the buried concrete on the beach. Doubt anything will be done ...

At one point she quotes the full state pension amount for those in receipt of the state pension since 6.4.2016. Just to point out that you only get that amount if 1) you have 36 years worth of the right type of NI contributions because 2) if, for example, ...
