I don't have the words of Vladimir Putin to hand, Burneside. I thought those of one of his most eloquent and intelligent rivals in the 2008 Russian presidency race was fair comment.
An interesting thought, Farty. Better a partnership of super states that bitter rivalry? How does the song go? "We share the same biology regardless of ideology..."
And this dire prognosis from the same website, Burneside: http://www.politico.eu/article/gary-kasparov-brexit-uk-vladimir-putin-news-politics/ I quote: “The Kremlin was in mourning when Scotland narrowly voted to stay in the U.K. Putin sees Europe as his enemy and wants his adversaries to be divided, smaller and weaker". “Putin has done a good job of picking off the ...
Thanks for your feedback on our replies, Jelly. Some final points: While I do not agree with much that Fred has said above (nor elsewhere on this website for that matter!) it is true that currently commuter trains get packed during peak times. But good news! More modern rolling stock (with extra carriages) is scheduled by GWR over the next 2 years,, as the electrification of the ...
I think what Purrrrfect is trying to say, Jelly, is that Dawlish is a lovely seaside haven and many of us want to keep it as our little secret! There are new homes coming, with 500 built over the last four years and another 1000 over the next twenty in the new Local Plan. If new-build is something you would consider, take a look at some of the Dawlish Estate agents on-line. Good ...
Mars, natch.
You quoted Churchill for your argument, Burneside and that demanded a reasonable response. The point as I see it is that with the EU in some difficulty this is precisely the wrong time to chose the open sea option. With Britain in Europe we would continue to be a force for stability, prosperity and democracy at the EU high table. If Britain was to leave the EU, not only will Britain's world ...
Something has happened between May 1953 and now, Burneside. The fall of the 'iron curtain', the reuniting of East and West Germany - and peace between European Union major powers.
No Burneside, I would just find it very sad. I do not question why 45% of Scots have already registered sufficient discontent with their closest neighbours to wish to disengage, but in my view, of the remaining 55% many would question on which side their bread would be buttered if England and perhaps Wales and N.I. voted to leave the EU. What I do consider ironic is that while David ...
Ironic, Burneside? How so? Some 45% of Scots voted to leave the Union last time around. Do you think the UK separating from the EU would make voting to stay together in a second referendum more likely? Your chance to vote in the second Scottish Independence referendum below (yes even Sassenachs can take part in this one): ...
