In hindsight yes, but she probably felt at the time like a lot of Remainers, that Remain would win a referendum. Cameron obviously did. Something tells ne you would've been complaining had she voted against having a referendum, ''undemocratic etc etc'' > Having now decided to ignore the result of one national vote > it seems bizarre that she should now support > another one. Not really, with the first referendum it was a simplistic, binary choice of in or out, but now we know much more about what Brexit actually entails, in particular that it will be a hard Brexit, a second referendum would've been a vote on the actual Brexit deal, not on a load of scaremongering/broken promises which plagued the first referendum...

  7. It will be interesting to see how well Macron does in France. So far he's managed to distance himself from the establishment despite in the not too distant past being part of it...
  8. Breaking news from The Guardian... Government makes concession on article 50 giving MPs vote on final Brexit deal before it is signed Starmer says the central point he is making is that a vote in the Commons must be before the deal is concluded. David Jones, the Brexit minister, gets up. He hopes to be helpful, he says. He says in his speech later he will talk about how the vote will work. But he can make some announcements now. Jones says the government?s vote will cover withdrawal from the EU, and the UK?s future relationship with the EU. He says both Houses of Parliament will get a vote on the final deal before the deal is concluded. He says parliament will vote on the deal before the European parliament does. Starmer says this is an important concession. He welcomes it.
  9. Supermarkets are always manipulating their prices, for every BOGOF/price reduction, they are adding 10p's here and there to other items to compensate...

I've seen cats crapping on my lawn, no attempt to hide it either...

It's all a bit 'Rik from the Young Ones', fascist has become a lazy put down to be filed with urban Guardinistas et al, and as Quids suggested diminishes the true nature of what fascism really is...

It was after a newbie posted that they were new to the area, first-time poster etc, to which you replied along the lines of ''Oh great, that's all we need, another bl0w-in''. Admin then promptly banned you and posted their reasons why, something along the lines of that they were fed up with your sneery comments in general on several threads over many months, but this had crossed a line in that you were now being nasty to newcomers and giving an unwelcoming impression of the Forum to outsiders. I'm not suggesting you have targeted an individual, or brought up gentrification. I gave that as an example of where you have been generally sneery in the past, which is what you are doing again. > Plenty of sneers and inflammatory stuff used In the Trump threads, > and not a single mention of their negavitivlity from > you or anyone else. Once again the biased powers > that be pick out someone who doesn't agree with > their point. Predictable. The only thing that is predictable is you playing the victim card. Perhaps you'd like to give examples of these 'sneers and inflammatory stuff'? I don't have any powers, but yes I will sometimes comment on something that's been said that I don't agree with, or I think is ridiculous in some way. It's how the forum works, people post their opinions. However, I don't comment on everything I don't agree with, for instance several people may have already made a point I agree with, in that situation I tend not to comment as it can come across as a bit 'pitch fork'. > If it's 'reactions' you want to talk about here, > how about we pick up on FJDGoose and their > deliberately provocative attempt to make me rise > to their bait? Or did you conveniently not notice > that, and just respond to my response to them > (arguably over the top, but from my point of view, > for good reason). I saw nothing wrong with FJD's post, you do need to give it a rest. I agreed with his sentiment and didn't feel the need to add to it. The point I made was a completely separate issue, to do with your hypocrisy on banning. Had you not said it I wouldn't have commented. > The number of double standards we see on here are shocking, oh and it's finished > off with the threat of another ban. Why do I even > bother with this forum! There you go again, playing the victim card. No one has threatened to ban you...

Probably because you've used sneery words/terms in your title, whereas the Trump threads haven't. I don't find it offensive, tiresome yes, plus they undermine any good points you might make. You tend to pick up on these sneers and use them ad infinitum. It's like having a demented Jack Russell yapping away. You can't help yourself, you've just thrown in a couple more, it's your MO, it's what you do, you're deliberately trying to get a reaction. Fine, carry on if you get a kick out of it, but remember you picked up a ban for similar behaviour on all the gentrification threads...

Errrr, have you read the title of your thread? I see 'social democrat' is your latest sneer, scraping the barrel there...
  16. They cornered the student market for contents insurance, amazing how many student bikes got stolen :)...
  17. Was that since your student days John?...
  18. Keep using the dice Meds, and just hope that every team scores at least one goal...
  19. Bush's daughters showed Obama's daughters around the White House when Obama first took office. They also wrote an open letter to them recently upon leaving the White House, wishing them well...
