    far from it, if those nutters got it we are screwed.They are bad enough making IEDs

    I am however saying M.A.D. isn't so mad at a superpower level.

    And of course there isn't the appetite for war there was in developed countries with pictures of death on the evening TV.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      [Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

      Scooterscot Veteran - you are both wrong.

      Neither the EU or NATO is responsible for peace in Europe.

      The sole institution which has this honour is;

      The Eurovision Song Contest...

      (Founded in 1956 - two years before the EEC)

          German Politician talks up the idea of US banks moving to Germany. How radical!!

            Moving or opening a small office with a handful of staff as they have previously stated they are likely to do?

              Government has no plan for Brexit

              'There is no plan' for Brexit - BBC News

              ...the government does not have enough officials to implement Brexit quickly, while departments are developing individual plans resulting in "well over 500 projects".

              It estimates an additional 30,000 extra civil servants could be required to meet the workload.

              The document also says big businesses could soon "point a gun at the government's head" to secure what they need to maintain jobs and investment.

              It comes after Japanese car manufacturer Nissan said it had been given "support and assurances" over trading conditions once Britain leaves the EU.

                A50 so not getting triggered before March. It's like yon band playing one last tune on the aft deck before the sea claims the Titanic.

                Wrexiters must be made to pay extra tax to employ 30,000 civil servants in these hard times of Austerity.

                    Although ""Every department has developed a 'bottom-up' plan of what the impact of Brexit could be - and its plan to cope with the 'worst case'.".

                    Interesting interpretation of not having a plan. Everyone has a plan but it's not a plan. Even though we will describe it as a plan.

                    To be worthy of the title of 'plan' it would need to take into account all worst case scenarios. According to the article, everyone's plan does.

                    So every department has a detailed plan with worst case scenario but apparently that isn't a plan? Seems better than most project managers I've worked with.

                      For some reason your reasoning makes me think of the dead parrot sketch. If you just replace the word parrot with plan.

                      Of course there's a plan!
