Old enough to reproduce doesn't mean old enough to be tried as an adult. One could argue that a mature mind might interfere with decision to pop out little jihadis, so from evolution view lacking sense could be seen as greater likelihood to pass on DNA
IMHO this isn't about her age and incidentally a 15 year old is intelligent enough to make an informed decision. This is about her ideology which is polar opposite to ours.

A good decision by the May government,
I wonder that a labour government under Corbyn leadership would have done with this woman that said she was 'ok with beheadings'...
Yes but this is just lip service by Javid. She will appeal and be allowed to return as per International law.
Why not save all the legal fees and allow her to keep 'UK citiizenship' but barr her from UK soil.
If she wasn't living in a camp and IS on the verge of being defeated she would be quite happy staying where she is. She has shown no remorse whatsoever even implying that she is a victim.

I don't. Youtube suggested, sir! Who am I to argue?
As for the BBC, they still have pockets of greatness but too few. They need to stop dumbing down everything and stop pandering to yoof. Yoof are a lost cause to television broadcasting anyway.
And I wish they would stop including womens football on the same page as mens football...who gives a s@@t....

A pro-Brexit friend got all flustered at the reference to the blue passports. It has to be seen to be believed.
Especially as it's going to be produced in France as I understand it.

4 minutes ago, bomber said:turn on a TV it will tell you honda havent made a statement yet,how is that speculation,unless your stating they are not closing which seems rather odd
Actually I haven't said anything at all about the matter...until now ????
The only comments have been made by Mr Tomlinson who stated what a previous poster mentioned " Honda have been very clear: this decision has been made because of global trends and is not related to Brexit, "- whether we believe him or not is another matter but until such time Honda have made a statement this is all we have to go on. May I also add that they are closing their plant in Turkey - Are you blaming that on Brexit.
I doubt Honda would make a decision like this before they knew what the outcome of Brexit is. If we do leave (which I doubt VERY much) then yes I can see companies starting to put their contingency plans into action.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion but I do wish you would stop making speculations when you don't have any hard facts to back up what you're saying. Peace.

Deary me...
you export EUR 15bn to little old Belgium - tariff free and with no restrictions.
But yeah, makes sense to put new barriers up for those exports so you can spend the next 20 year eeking out marginal concessions from the Japanese.
Yeah, I know I know, blue passports makes it totally worth it.
The Japanese and another 160 or so countries. Can't do jack at the moment.

The GBP hit 90 baht for just a couple of days which was a flash in the pan. It was hardly 'running around 90+ to the pound'.
The fact remains that regardless of other circumstances the weakest the GBP has been for over the last third of a century has been under the Tory governments of Thatcher, CMD and May. It hardly bears out the supposition that the economy thrives under a Tory govt.
In spite of what the media try and kid us into believing economies are built around the working man and if he is not doing well his country's economy won't either.
A currency needs to circulate to remain strong. When the ordinary citizen is working and spending all is well. When he loses his work it all goes down the pan.
The importation of cheap labour also has an effect on the economy as when a manual worker loses his job to an Eastern European those earnings are sent off out of circulation to Poland and Romania etc.
And then the rest of us have to fork out to keep our man on the dole and quite often his family as well.
So the GBP loses it's former value on the world's market but businessmen benefit from the pool of cheap labour. Amazon and Starbucks do not fund any resulting shortages of cash. You and me do.
Your whole premise is based on how strong the baht is depending on whether a Tory or labour government is in power. Seriously!
And the baht was in the 70-90 range for over 5 years or so...I would dig out the data but honestly I can't be arsed!

The strongest the GBP has been against the Baht in the last 35 years has been under the Labour Governments of Blair and Brown.
The weakest it's been has been under the Tory governments of Thatcher, CMD and May.
You ex pats should think on that and contrary to popular belief and the vilification that the press heaps on the sharing of wealth through taxation hope for another Labour government.
When the working people have more available cash the general economy improves because more cash gets spent. When a Tory govt strives to improve only the lot of the already rich the economy goes downhill.
According to Macmillan in the 1960s the British people had never had it so good. That was years before the EU had ever been heard of.
I beg to differ. Labour usually come in on the back of Tory Fiscal policies that have generally strengthened the economy only then to <deleted> it all up again. From memory the baht was the strongest around 1997/98 after the Asian crash and running around 90+ to the pound. Nothing to do our our government.

its never been a safe currency,its had its moments yes but these days the traders judge its value on the nations future outlook,maybe it shouldnd be like that but that is the way it is and wont change in my lifetime.
It's pretty much always been a safe currency. What are you on about?
Granted it's lost some of its shine over the past years but I would bet than once the deal has been done we can start seeing $1.40+. Whats changed over the past 30 years or so is how much stronger some of the SE Asian currencies have become in particular the Singapore dollar and as most of us on here are concerned, the Thai Baht.
I'm no economist but I reckon the Baht is strong due to all the Chinese money coming in....Not good for exports though

IMF are independent,iam not wrong,no major neutral think tanks think the UK will prosper after brexit,surely even you can see that.
IMF downgrades UK growth forecast on Brexit uncertainty - BBC News.html 208.54 kB · 0 downloads
If you believe that think-tanks are independent and free from political persuasion then you are naive in the extreme.
Having said that Mark Carney made overtures last week that the UK could prosper with a no-deal....for what its worth.
Personally I think a deal will be done. There is no way that the UK Government/EU will allow a no-deal.

"Current trading and future prospects have also been seriously affected by the uncertainty created by the Brexit process, which has led to our inability to secure valuable flying contracts in Europe and a lack of confidence around bmi's ability to continue flying between destinations in Europe," the airline said on its website late Saturday.

The only people you Berxiteers are kidding is yourselves...
I'm a remainer...as I have mentioned many times but I have a balanced view rather than an emotional one and fake news is something we could do without at this stage.
The exchange rate IS the currency WHICH IS A SMALL PART OF PETROL PRICES.
If you want to continue on this train then in 1800 there were $5 to one pound!
Only 30% of the price you pay is directly affected by currency and that's the cost of goods. Most of it is VAT and Duty.

In January 2016 I was Paying little more than £1 per Ltr for diesel, now £126-136
And in 1990 you were paying £0.40 per Ltr! As I said currency is just one of several factors that make up fuel prices.

After the referendum result, the pound dropped 20% so fuel cost 20% more.
As we
willmay not be part of the EU in a few weeks the EU exclude UK airlines from full participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme.Yes, there's no doubt that Brexit hit the pound but in 2012 you were paying £1.41 per Litre, today you are paying £1.31. There's more to fuel prices than currency. Restrictions in the amount being pumped by OPEC is a much bigger factor.
You remind me of the same type of people who said that joining the EC in 1973 would <deleted> up Britain. No-one can predict the future.

The truth is they will have to repeat this scenario over and over again........contrary to the popular media, this company is not the first to go under nor will it be the last....this is a chain of events that started 2 years ago and is only going to get worse........Brexiteers will have both their time and work cut out the deny this with every company that fails due to Brexit.
tis isn't a case of rats leaving a sinking ship, it is a race to the lifeboats for the passengers and crew..... and many won't make it.
IMHO The straw that broke the camels back had nothing to do with Brexit. Inefficient passenger load seems to be the problem. The average load per plane was 18 passengers. No company can run like that. Their problems started way before Brexit.

Businesses collapse all the time. Was Woolworth due to Brexit ? How about Toys R Us or Maplins?
These were badly run companies that couldn't adapt quick enough to consumer demand.
Incidentally what company has gone under due to Brexit ?

FlyBMI goes under
How do you come to that conclusion? Because the chairman said so? And why aren't all the other cheap airlines going under ?
Maybe it was due to not being competitive, bad management, no contingency plans or a myriad of other factors including the routes they offer.
It's very easy for them to blame Brexit to defelct the blame.
