WW2 ended as the axis powers surrendered. WW1 ended with such a terrible negotiation, we got WW2.

I agree european economies aren't in great shape... but I don't see why that's a reason not to rejoin. There are plenty of reasons to do so, freedom of movement being one.

I've just driven my Renault 5 e-tech (great car) from Geneva, Switzerland to Scotland and I'm almost back. Currently charging at the Channel Tunnel waiting for my train. I'm converted. It was very easy. Chargers everywhere!

Well done Daily Mail. Not one expert quoted, and it was Trump that called him communist. So that can be ignored.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one.

Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America.

His words could not be more on point and timely.

Please pass it on.

Or he was finding out the facts. I've used Iqos for around 10 years now. I was on 40 cigarettes a day. I haven't had one in all that time. I certainly feel better

Dump Trump, embrace the EU. And for fucks sake, don't start talking about irrelevant issues like smoking bans in pub gardens when there's so much more going on in the world. Get a grip.
