A real bridge to Europe after Brexit

It may just have been a mention in the discussions between Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron, but I think this is a fantastic idea! And when would there be a better…

My comment on: Iran bans English in primary schools after leader's warning

Firstly, it must be said that this is only at primary school level. Presumably, for older age groups, there is no ban. Secondly, we've seen a ban on the burka in some European countries and lots of E…

My comment on: White British boys being 'left behind' in school

Men's equality groups have been saying this for some time now, but the media has just ignored it. By many metrics, women are now more successful than men, especially those under the age of 35, and ye…

My comment on: UK needs 'latte levy' on disposable coffee cups to cut waste: lawmakers

As usual we have, "How do we solve a problem? I know, we'll tax it!" While I do understand the problem and the need to reduce waste, a 25 pence addition to the price of a coffee will make it more of…

My comment on: Turkey's accords & ties with Washington losing validity – Erdogan

The real question here is, why is Erogan making such statements? He must know that doing so, especially publicly, will have little affect on such cases and that Turkey hasn't exactly endeared itself…

My comment on: Brexiteer Nigel Farage enters the lion's den to meet EU's chief negotiator

I don't see the point to this. As much of a famous person, THE person, as he is regarding the Brexit story, he holds no real power in the talks and everybody already knows his views on the subject. T…

My comment on: North Korea agrees to talks after U.S.-South Korea military drills are postponed

This is the most sensible thing I have heard all week. Anything which may lead to proper talks and dialogue can only be welcomed. There has never been any sign that military drills and sanctions in a…

My comment on: Britain wants financial services included in EU trade deal - Davis

Of course Britain wants financial services to be included in the deal, and why not?! If the EU doesn't want to agree to that, then maybe Britain should opt out of free trade in agricultural products…

My comment on: China's WeChat denies storing user chats

This would hardly be shocking news, if true. Some will say that this will only happen in China. I say it's bound to be happening all over the world, including Western democracies. Even encrypted mess…

My comment on: Court upholds sacking of Paris doctor over ‘religious’ beard

Again, the world is going mad. Why not just ban everything? How can a naturally growing part of of your body be seen as a religious symbol in the same light as a cross or a kippah? Yes, it can show y…
