Odd query/problem but thought maybe someone has had the same experience

If it was a blocked/broken waste/sewer pipe of any kind you wouldn't just be smelling human pee...if you catch my drift. So unless your neighbours all wear colostomy bags I think it points to an animal, probably rats... -

Everyone who voted Leave isn't a racist, but I'd bet my mortgage that most of the racists voted Leave. If the racists feel at home with Brexit you need to ask yourself why...

Freya continuously labels Remainers as left/leftists etc. Obviously hasn't heard that there are plenty on the left (Lexiters) and the hard left like the Communist Party who all firmly support Brexit, believing it will enable them to deliver their Utopian socialist ideal...

But futile FT journo David Allen Green writes a lot about this. Brexiters will allow anything to be said and done, even outright lies, if it's seen to be to the benefit of Brexit. That isn't reasonable debate, it's ideological madness...https://twitter.com/davidallengreen

The referendum being an advisory vote rather than a legally binding vote actually aided the Leave side, because had it been legally binding the referendum could've been anulled due to the Vote Leave campaign breaking electoral laws...

I heard a couple of banger like noises, but equally it could've been a Deliveroo scooter back-firing. Very anti-climatic...and very fitting.

Approving of the EU is in itself engaging with it. I've always been happy for us to be in the EU, I'm old enough to remember when we were called 'the poor man of Europe' before we joined, the country was on it's knees. I liked the underlying reasons why the EU had been formed after WW2. I liked that collectively we could stand up to the big hitters like the US and China. On a more personal level I partook in the Erasmus scheme, have friends who met through it, married and now live in Europe. In recent years I have embraced what FoM brought to UK citizens as well as Europeans, travelling freely round Europe with the option to work and/or live there, or in my dotage to even retire there. I engaged with the EU by the very fact I didn't bleat on about it and blame it for every problem going. > I'm glad you find it hilarious though. At least I > can bring a small amount of joy to you dark and > disastrous existence in brexit Britain. I have a very happy existence thank you very much, and I'll survive Brexit. However, some of us look at the bigger picture and my concern is for future generations who will have to pick up the tab...

Cat, did Leavers ever engage to help make our relationship with the EU as successful a possible? Like feck they did. Your lack of self=awareness is hilarious...and tiresome.

Personally I'm very excited and will be on tenterhooks all day, every free moment will be spent watching Sky's live coverage and the countdown clock, until that glorious moment at midnight Brussels time when I will be raising a glass of champagne to celebrate the closing of the transfer window...

DulwichFox Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > My Only gripe is with Brussels telling us what we > can and cannot do. This is the 'them and us' attitude that many Brexiters have, and they continually fail to see that the reality is(was) in fact 'we', because the UK has been a major player in the EU, we were contributing to the rules and laws. It was even a Brit that wrote the Article 50 process. Perhaps if the European Parliament had been based in the UK they would've thought differently, but doubtful as we see this same attitude with our own Parliament and the 'Westminster bubble'...
