Pitcairn Island in the middle of the Pacific is regarded as part of Kent. When accusations of sexual predators came about, it was some officers from Kent constabulary who had to out and investigate - and arrest almost every adult male on the island. I suppose it makes a change from shoplifters in Canterbury. On that note, I wonder if there is probably somebody in Tarbert who has to make a routine visit to Rockall to see that nothing criminal is going on. You never know!

No it is not. Area of England = 130,395 km2 (53.6%) Area of Northern Ireland = 14,130 km2 (5.8%) Area of Wales = 20,735 km2 (8.5%) Area of Scotland = 77,933 km2 (32%) Area of Scottish Islands = 10,372 km2

I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of them are "storm out of the room" quitters who accept a role only if they can make a dramatic resignation when the Brexit talks hit an impasse. Easy to do if you are Minister in charge of baby-wipes but not so easy if you are the Prime Minister. Some have entered the contest to indicate that they want to be Prime Minister one day but not while Brexit is still on the go. Expect several to quit the race because of a bad back or a sore tooth or something to do with the family cat.

Central casting are struggling with this one. Undertaker in a spaghetti western or Dr Frankenstein's assistant.

They also think the EU is undemocratic and will be using their vote to express their disgust. I doubt they can even spell irony.

Waiting until the month of June to avoid all the obvious jokes!

There are also dozens of Tory MPs who campaigned for Brexit, not because they really wanted it to happen, but because it would improve their popularity in the Tory Party. Boris Johnson is an obvious example.

In all fairness, Mary Scanlon was been asked a question that was specifically about the Conservative party and answered it in a way that made it very obvious that it was her party - especially as she used the word "we". That was very different to other members of the audience who were clearly plants but pretending to be ordinary members of the public. It was interesting watching the question about the Jeremy Kyle show, where each member of the panel had their say. It reminded me of Question Time of old. However, when it came to any discussion about anything where there had been a referendum, suddenly it was a non-topic and we are not supposed to talk about any more. Seems bizarre to have a political talk show where you are not allowed to talk politics if it is on something where a decision has been made. If we had a referendum on every other topic then this show would then have nothing left to talk about.

Now there's an idea. My sister refuses to buy unsalted butter. I find it intolerable. Oh dear, I guess I am too late now.

Occasionally there have been shows where he has helped people find relatives they hadn't seen for years. If it was that sort of show it might be okay. However, it is far more likely to be people who storm on stage, swearing and cursing at everyone. Easily the most dysfunctional families around. I have always found it a puzzle that these people despise each other but still agree to appear on the show together.

Farage can say "we need to leave the EU now" and even if he provides no detail whatsoever people will vote for him. Once we are out of the EU there will an abundance of tariff-free snake oil.

Actually maybe not so stupid. Cats have tails and so do monkeys. Have I seen anything similar on a dove? Can't say I have. Maybe I am missing something.

Thank you for this reply. It was able to effectively dovetail into point I was making.

Does PowerPoint have a bouncy ball option similar to sing-a-along songs?

This reminds me of colleague who was definitely a "word of the week" kind of person. One week, his favourite word was "dovetail". "It is important that for us to be a solid, dependable and effective supplier that we can dutifully dovetail our services to match the requirements of our customers." .. but of course, how could I ever have thought otherwise If it had stopped there fine but it did not. Later on, we were talking about football and I asked why a manager might substitute a striker for defender or the other way around instead of just like for like. Guess what. "Sometimes it is necessary to change the structure of the team on the park but then the new player has to be able to dovetail into the structure that is already there apart from the player being replaced." I doubt you could talk to him about the weather, or anything else, without him using his word of the week.

I think they should invite Doctor Who on to Question Time. FB: "Okay Doctor, what do you think?" DW: "Leave means not Leave." At which point various members of the audience start saying: "Does not compute, does not compute. exterminate, exterminate." .. and then smoke starts coming out of their heads and then they explode. Just a thought.

Exactly. If the opposite had happened and both parties had won lots of seats would that have meant "Stop Brexit now!"

When the EU referendum was held, it was amusing that some people would vote one way or the other because the council weren't doing enough about dog poo in the park or other things. "How ridiculous - how could anyone be that stupid". Now there are these local council elections - presumably concerning people who would have to deal with the issue of dog poo in the park (amongst other things) and nobody thinks it is ridiculous that people voted one way or the other because of Brexit. Bit of inconsistency in there, I think.

Yes and this is even more remarkable when you consider that he has never been in government. "Nigel, you claim that leaving the EU is going to solve everything. You're not in government and those people who are in government are not able to make it happen. Conspiracy theories aside - Nigel, aren't you just talking a crock of shite!"

.. and yet the right wing press are forever suggesting that at least two or three are about to leave very soon. I suspect if we can just get Malta and Estonia on board, we can really shake things up!

So, no EU parliament, no Scottish parliament and of course all the MPs at Westminister need to go because they are betraying the will of the people. Seems to leave nobody in charge.

Everything on the planet? Why stop there? There are other planets, asteroids, comets and so on to be divvied up. What's your favourite crater on Mars and don't get it wrong.

Put one of these people in the cockpit of a plane. "Right we're off to America. Up, over, down. Get on with it! Oh and I'm not going - bye."

According to the road signs, its real name is Londonderry !
