Well, maybe and maybe not. The idea that a ?deal went sour? and someone got killed as a result really isn?t that far-fetched, when you think about all the stuff we know humans will do to each other in pursuit of power and money.


That said, rocking up in front of a Select Commitee with pink hair and an admiral that he heard it all from a mate...

It's OK. Dave on Twitter, has this all covered.


Chuka Umunna on @SkyNews going on about letting the people decide the type of Brexit we finish up with. The people have already decided Chuka. Brexit that means Brexit. Simple.— Dave Roberts.🇬🇧 (@Bolddigger52) April 20, 2018

Well, odds are...


ETA, yep, scrolling through his Twitter feed he has an inglorious history of retweeting and supporting far right and racist organizations, so well done, Uncle, just for once you're right!

I think staying in the customs union or leaving it represents fairly clear water!

If you're a remainer (I'm not but most of you on the EDF are of course) then I'd say this is a very good thing. Feels like where we finally need to be after a crazily simplistic vote. Yes or no, imagine the arrogance of that stupid man Cameron, who thought he had it in the bag so much as to guarantee himself a win on a referendum that would put the issue to bed forever. He didn't half read the people wrong....


EDOdlie says both the main parties appear to have very similar views on Brexit, but I don't think this is right. And I don't think that there's internal consistency on both sides either* So if the Commons are to influence the final negotiations (which sound very complicated!) surely this is a chance for democracy to prove itself?


*Please say how this might be "remedied"

David?s got one last ?big job? in him apparently. After playing bluff with so many people?s lives he seems to think he?s got something more up there in his butternut squash of a head to give.

He?s always got religion to turn to I suppose, eventually.

The Express (and Daily Star) got taken over by Trinity Mirror (the new company is called "Reach"). The editors of both Express and Star resigned the day after the takeover and got replaced by Mirror staffers but the editorial leanings of the Express were staying the same.


The Express now just seems to be trying to wind Leavers up IMHO

The Express is so desperate for readership that it will print practically anything. Stringent Leavers who don?t have the ability to think for themselves are it?s principle market now.


I know several Leavers who all admit they are embarrassed every time the Express runs one of it's lunatic headlines. While they steadfastly defend their position in an argument, they all feel the Express does way more harm than good for their cause.

Cameron had no choice but to call a referendum. His whole election campaign was based on that promise and he had no choice but to resign when it didn't go his way.


The Labour Party & the Conservative party want us to leave it seems to me, neither has said that they wouldn't. It also sems to me that if we don't leave the single market and the customs union we are not really leavimg. The only parties that have actively campaigned to remain are the Greens and the Lib Dems. So it seems entirely logical that if you want to stay in the EU you should vote either Green or Lib Dem. Am I missing something?

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
