So do your Iains, the Union Flag is only correctly named a "Union Jack" when it is flown on the Jack Staff of a ship

That may well explain the orgin of the term but present usage is either Union Jack or Union Flag regardless of how or where displayed. Only vexillologists make a distinction.AS wiki states" Even if the term "Union Jack" does derive from the jack flag (as perhaps seems most likely), after three centuries, it is now sanctioned by usage, has appeared in official usage, and remains the popular term. The BBC website disregards the term "union flag" because of its "great potential for confusion", preferring union jack (in lower case) The Merchant Shipping Act 1995 refers to the national colours of the United Kingdom as "the Union flag (commonly known as the Union Jack)".

As you so like to malign the illustrious font of all knowledge Guido Fawkes. Here are a few tasties to redress the balance:

Date: 17 Nov 18 - 01:30 PM

Not only chief advisor for Trump white nationalism, Bannon is steering fascism in the UK, in case you missed this Wiki nugget.
I am sure more is to come about Bannon from Mueller as well.

European politics
Bannon has announced plans to move to Brussels for half the year to launch a new political operation to unite populist parties across Europe before the European Parliament election. He has formed a foundation for nationalist parties called The Movement.

Brazilian elections
In August 2018, Bannon met with Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro, and serves as informal advisor to the Bolsonaro campaign in the Brazilian presidential elections.

Political beliefs
Bannon told Michael Lewis in February 2018, "We got elected on Drain the Swamp, Lock Her Up, Build a Wall. This was pure anger. Anger and fear is what gets people to the polls." He added, "The Democrats don't matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit."

Individual issues
Bannon has advocated reductions in immigration and restrictions on free trade, particularly with China and Mexico. He is in favor of raising federal income taxes to 44% for those earning incomes over $5 million a year as a way to pay for middle class tax cuts.[49] He also supports significantly increasing spending on infrastructure, describing himself as "the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan". Bannon is opposed to government bailouts, describing them as "socialism for the very wealthy".[197] He generally believes in reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy, declaring at the Conservative Political Action Conference he favored the "deconstruction of the administrative state". However, he does support increased regulation of Internet companies like Facebook and Google, which he regards as akin to utilities in the modern age. He opposed the merger between Time-Warner and AT&T on antitrust grounds. He was a strong opponent of the Paris climate agreement within the administration, successfully persuading the President to withdraw from it.

On overseas military intervention
He is generally skeptical of military intervention abroad, opposing proposals for the expansion of U.S. involvement in the War in Afghanistan,[50] the Syrian Civil War, and the crisis in Venezuela. On the Middle East
Bannon strongly favors U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal,[206] and was supportive of the approach taken by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis and the 2017 Saudi Arabian purge.[citation needed] He believes Qatar is "no less dangerous" than North Korea.

Bannon believes Iran, Turkey and China are forming a "new axis" to challenge the West, and has described Turkey as "the greatest danger facing the United States" and "far more dangerous than Iran".[208]

Bannon reportedly speaks often with Trump donor Sheldon Adelson, and has been alarmed at a push for a renewed Middle East peace process.[210] He has described Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as a "terrorist". He has advocated giving the land in the West Bank to Jordan and in Gaza to Egypt.

On the UK
Although Bannon initially favored the British National Party (BNP) and the English Defense League (EDL) in the United Kingdom, he later backed the UK Independence Party (UKIP).

Nigel Farage, the former leader of UKIP, once presented Bannon with a portrait of Bannon dressed as Napoleon Bonaparte. Bannon has encouraged Farage to return as leader of UKIP.

Bannon has called for the release of former EDL leader Tommy Robinson from prison, describing him as the "backbone" of Britain.

Bannon has also called for a revolt in the United Kingdom should the country adopt a soft Brexit, stating, "If I was in middle England and said this wasn't what I voted for I would rise up and make sure the guys in parliament knew it." When asked whether this should be interpreted as a "call to arms", he replied: "Absolutely".

Bannon has met with Jacob Rees-Mogg, a prospective candidate for the leadership of the country's Conservative Party, describing him as "one of the best thinkers in the conservative movement on a global basis."

Bannon has also urged Boris Johnson, another potential leadership contender, who Bannon said in July 2018 that he had known "over the last year" and was "very impressed" with, to challenge Prime Minister Theresa May. According to a Buzzfeed News report, Bannon was in private contact with Johnson during his visit to Britain that month, and the two men were previously in text communication during their respective tenures as White House Chief Strategist and British Foreign Secretary.

Not much new under the sun.

I'm actually not that hard line - a bit of a reformist rather than a revolutionary nowadays

"The UK was the bastion of Democracy when the rest of Europe was under nationalistic Nazi control."
A matter of opinion -
Britain was fighting a defensive war because it attempted to appease Nazizm upto the point where it could no longer do so - the failure to launch a 'Second Front' was an indication that that appeasement sill remained to a a degree during the war
It really is complex - much of this involved pragmatism rather than real democracy
Any democracy was introduced after the war by a watered down 'socialist' Government - despite fierce opposition from Britain's former leaders
My old man was criminalised for fighting fascism in Spain, just as members of his family were for taking to the streets to fight an Antisemitic member of the House of Lords (protected by British policemen on horseback)

"Russia, Cold War Style,"
There seems to be a lot of point missing here
The "free" former Communist nations are far more of a world threat than ever they were under communism - there was never a threat of invasion or direct interference from The Soviet Union, China, or any of the old states
First we had direct interference in referenda and national elections, now we have outbreaks of poisonings in Britain and the torture and murder of a foreign national in Saudi Arabia
This is now an international ball-game encouraged by the populism set rolling by Brexit - all the extremists have to do is wag a flag and make foreigners culprits and they are on a winner
Fascist parties on the rise, the Nazis back on the streets of Germany... we've been here before - throw in the Klan ready to take to the streets of Northern Ireland and Britain and you can include places we've never been]

"Russia - Iran"
How about your own flavour of the month Bobad - selling nuclear triggers to Iran, while at the same time demonising them ?
The Israeli leadership, as right wing as it is, is now at war with its own extremists over attempts to negotiate peace with the Palestinians

The fall of Communism was heralded as a great leap forward - now there is hardly a Continent on the planet where there is not cause for concern

As a young man, I took to the streets to oppose nuclear weapons - we were told they would never be used but were necessary as "deterrents" - not an arument I ever bought.
Now we are being asked to accept a world where only the extremists right nations - America, Israel, The Saudis..... have a list has been compiled as to who is fit to hold them, headed by a madman who boasts that "his button is bigger than anyone else's"
We need to hang our heads in shame over the world we have bequeathed to those who will take over, and we certainly need to stop pointing fingers and start to clean up our own dog-shit

My point is that I see that even the enlightened folks in the UK are getting bogged down in unimportant detail. Democracy is at stake. The Brexit issue presents the conundrum that democracy is challenged because of one very large uninformed vote and as a result democracy is damned if you do or damned if you don't implement Brexit.


Both are important, Donuel, and they are interconnected.   What happens if a large proportion of the population have substantially reduced their resources? A lot can be done by changing what you eat, how you live and so on, but it is not inexhaustible. I think you get an amplification of the belief that 'democracy does not work for me', which fed into the forces for Brexit and the election of Trump, and many others riding the populistic waves.

The essential condition for democracy to work is that people feel that on balance it is a way of improving their or their descendants lot. If that goes, so does a belief in democracy as a whole.

What has been said on frequent occasions is a "promise" that things will be better for us all if we leave the EU.

It is worse than that. Most Brexit commentators and promoters recognise there will be some short term disruption, but insist in the future it will be better.

Keith was honest enough to say he believed that disruption would last at most three months after Brexit day if we left with no deal. Nigel, despite picking me up on an error I made with dates, was not prepared to give any indication how long these short term effects might last. Some politicians have said 10 years, and while Rees-Mogg didn't quite say how long they would last, be did say it might take 50 years for the full effects of Brexit to be understood.

What 'short term' means is vital, because to cope with short term disruption requires resources. Some big manufacturers are stock-piling: that ties up money and affects balance sheets. Some householders may be thinking of or actually doing the same with non-perishable food - again, that ties up resources. Whether you do that or not, come any actual disruption you may be living of some kind of savings - actual money or food stocks for example - to cover any shortfall during the disruption.

Now, if you are a millionaire, you may well be able to cover a disruption lasting a few years. On the other hand if you are living on a zero hours minimum wage job you may not have enough resources to last a week. Small businesses may have enough cash in the bank to pay their workers for a month or two but would go bust if the disruption continued for three months.

That is why how long and how severe the disruptions are matter. Sunny uplands beyond, even if real and not some mirage, cannot be considered in isolation.

"I substantiate what I say with numerous links from varied sources. Frequently when I quote guido I put up alternative media sources..."

No you don't. Please don't try to peddle bullshit. You extremely frequently resort to Guido with no further balancing links. Just because you occasionally use other sources doesn't justify your second sentence. And there's one very basic thing that most thinking people get that you don't. Guido, the Sun, the Express, the Mail and one or two others down there in the gutter don't just relay news. They relay news mixed with comment laced with a healthy dose of sensationalist scandal. That comment may be subtly put. It's put in a tendentious, hidden, right-wing guise. But you don't see it. You've been seriously taken in. You actively seek out sources that confirm your personal bias. I mean, how crude is that? You rarely if ever resort to sources that at least try to report news neutrally, keeping their opinion separate in a separate section of the paper. In fact, you routinely diss media that do that. You'd far rather just brand them, simply because they don't share your bioted ideology, as leftie crap. You are the epitome of the pig-ignorant Sun-reading, brainless bloody prole. And you're even a bit shit at geology. I'm not even a geologist, and I can see it. It's late. Sleep tight, "fellah."

Iains,

No-one from your side of the discussion has ever proffered any facts.

Not once.

What has been said on frequent occasions is a "promise" that things will be better for us all if we leave the EU.

Now I realise that no one on my side of the discussion has been able to offer any concrete facts either.

However almost without exception every commentator of every hue has proffered that the political and economic ramifications of leaving the EU will be detrimental to the well being of the UK as a whole.

I have asked repeatedly over the past 30 months for a positive reason to be believe that our leaving the EU will be beneficial to the people of this country.

Surely after 30 months you will be able to provide such evidence.

So ...................

"Most people here offer up documented facts - you rely almost entirely on a tory liar"

More little jimmie frothing idiocy. I substantiate what I say with numerous links from varied sources. Frequently when I quote guido I put up alternative media sources corroborating his information. Rather makes a nonsense of your puerile assertions doncha think?

Yes Jim, those Tory liars certainly stick together - like dogshit on the sole of your shoe.
Have you noticed how the resident BrexShit-Bumpkins never respond to the substance of what's actually put to them? We have one whose only tactic is to nitpick others' spelling and/or grammar, and another who relies on a proven Right-Wing Extremist, racist criminal.

No wonder Brexit's gone tits-up.

What data ?
He's a right wing blogger who offers a distorted analysis of events - no data
You hav Persistently dismissed information as "only your opinion", yet you rely on a criminal blogger for your own contributionBoth lacking in imagination and claiming something you will not accept (on occasion) from others
Most people here offer up documented facts - you rely almost entirely on a tory liar

Here you are, some more facts for you (you do understand the meaning of the word 'facts' do you?) from a considerably more reliable source than a Right-Wing Extremist Criminal.

The only problem that you have is that you have only ever managed to attack the source of the article with your insulting remarks.
Not one of you have managed to discredit his data. A fact you should perhaps ruminate on.

If you resign from the Cabinet in a huff (Johnson, Raab, Davis, McVey) you've basically shat in your own bed. But one prominent member has decided "to stay loyal to May." Gove.

Meet the next Tory party leader. Oh, I suppose he might have to scrap it out with Leadsom and/or Mordant, two other biters-of-lips. No contest, I'd say. Aren't Tories just so lovely.

Here's another good one.

The government is fighting hard to ensure it does not have the right to cancel the Article 50 unilaterally.


That's taking back control for you.

That order.order articl3 claims those are from the latest YouGov poll but they do not seem to match the one carried out by YouGov for The Evening Standard after the deal was declared. Can you tell us which poll it is?
