The question was, how was the attack in Dusseldorf connected to any terror attack elsewhere in Europe?
You MAY well dodge the question again, I WILL not be surprised if you do.

We are 'investing' £85.2 billion 'in our children's futures' in 2017, an increase of £1.2bn on last year year.

I guess those parents will be happy to know that by exiting the EU this country won't have to hand over billions of pounds of taxpayers money to an unelected institution so they can give it to poorer countries.
Until that happens we should probably rein in foreign aid spending.........job done.
Next question.

I am sure the car workers of Derby, and all their supply companies, were delighted and reassured by this massive investment, considering the Project Fear predictions of massive losses in investment and jobs.

You need to go back on this thread again because by my reckoning we have done this........was the perpetrator German etc.?
This is not about random bike thefts etc.?
Will this happen again etc.?
Can we stop violent people coming into the country etc?
Common denominator........you don't want to place any controls on migration flows into the UK and I do.......nothing is being dodged, I am just saving us another spin round on the carousel. We disagree......and always will do.
Your frenzied postings suggest a nice long restful holiday could be in order?

That figure is a projection. We won't know if that is £85.2bn until we get the receipts in. The new National Funding Formula is also going to cripple some schools. The National Audit Office has already said that schools in real terms are facing 8% cuts by 2019/20. I work on a Federated School Governing body, the budgets are hurting big time.
2016 £84bn
2015 £85.8bn
2014 £85.3bn
2013 £84.2bn
2012 £86.5bn
2011 £91.5bn
2010 £88.5bn

Says the man with 35,000 posts............that's the trouble with you Germans, no sense of irony.
Frenzied was a description of the contents, not the volume.

Oh come on. That must be more fake news. We were told that inward investment would stop, that jobs would be lost, that interest rates would rise and wages would fall.
Oh, and that there would be a £30bln emergency budget and WW3.
Haven't you seen the destitution in the country; how will all these poor people be able to afford to upgrade their smart phones? It's bad, and all caused by those nasty thick, racist Brexit voters
I agree that it's highly unlikely that there will be a "no flights" scenario. However, you need to remember how the process will work. Once Art 50 is triggered, the two parties (or rather, the 28 parties) will negotiate the terms of the exit. This will include things like the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and vice-versa, plus all the tedious stuff like pensions for UK MEPs, etc, etc. It is likely that these negotiations will take until the latter part of 2018. Negotiations around a potential transitional arrangement, and the terms of our relationship with the EU post-Brexit can only start once the exit terms are agreed. Hence, it is highly likely that the two year period will elapse with no formal agreement about the post-Brexit relationship. The problem with air transport is that airlines need to plan their schedules a long way in advance (and people actually want to book their holidays in advance, too). So - it is completely plausible that come (say) September/October 2018 airlines will have no idea whether they will be able to fly between the UK and the EU from April 2019 onwards, and you and I will have no idea whether the holiday we book can actually be fulfilled.
The other issue, of course, is the fact that - as soon as Mrs May triggers Article 50 - we are at the mercy of EU negotiators, many of whom are not positively disposed towards the UK. A huge bargaining chip for them is the fact that we are absolutely stuffed if we can't fly to the EU. I just wonder what concessions will have to be granted to ensure we CAN still fly.
And I'm sure there are similar issues in countless other industries. I'm only flagging this as it's something I'm reasonably close to.

'Johan van Zyl, chief executive of Toyota Motor Europe, said the investment showed that the company was doing all it could to make Burnaston more competitive.
However, he warned: "Continued tariff-and-barrier free market access between the UK and Europe that is predictable and uncomplicated will be vital for future success.'

In amongst the badinage, this is the real story and it is why JC has raised it at successive PMQs recently.
The crisis is nationwide but East Sussex is particularly badly affected.
Thatcher sold off the playing fields and now May is trying to outdo her by even more flagrant degradation of what children from ordinary families can expect out of a state education.

Don't tell me that yet again a leaver just read the headline and not the content.
At least they are consistent in avoiding commenting on caveats which may well dampen the headline

The Queen has signed the Article 50 Bill into law this morning, clearing the way for Theresa May to formally start talks to leave the European Union.
God bless you, Ma'am.
We're on our way ...
God bless you, Ma'am.
We're on our way ...

Actually the lyrics couldn't be more apt...
How we get there I don't know
How we get there I don't care
Pretty much reflects the current attitude I think.
