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?

    • Familiarity is important, I lived near Brixton in the old days and was fairly comfortable, but for many years avoided Peckham.  That has reversed in the last 15 years.   I recall around Dalston and the A10 and burned out cars.  Now super trendy. Pub violence has largely gone but that was groups of men getting drunk on Saturday night and brawling.  Similarly little football violence, East Dulwich/West Peckham was edgy last century.
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   Rod comes highly recommended. He recently completed a challenging job in my garden, fox-proofing an outhouse using a large amount of hardcore and slate. The work involved a great deal of effort, but Rod handled it with professionalism and care from start to finish.   He specialises in working with stone, and it really shows in the quality of his work. He is also an incredibly hard worker, tackling the project with determination and skill. Throughout, he was responsive and reliable, always keeping me updated and communicating clearly.   I really appreciated the practical advice he offered along the way, which showed both his experience and his commitment to doing the job properly. On top of all that, his pricing was very reasonable, and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.   If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, hardworking, and knowledgeable, Rod is an excellent choice. His number is 07739180197
    • Central London, partularly Soho and Fitzrovia, seems to be more about sneaky crimes like hugger-muggering and pickpocketing rather than anything violent these days. I'd never wear a decent watch if I went into town in the evening. There are a couple of places, like Tottenham, Hackney'and Harlesden, I'm particularly on my guard in - mainly because I don't really know them too well. Bits of New Cross and Deptford can be a bit hairy, as well. The parts of central London which were dodgiest twenty or thirty years ago, King's Cross or Shoreditch for example, have changed beyond recognition.  Statistically, London is safer than it was thirty years ago. Wobbling around the Elephant after a heavy night in the Ministry of Sound wasn't a great move around 2000; it wouldn't seem as idiotic these days. It's still not pleasant though and you have to keep your wits about you in Camberwell after midnight, even now. Overall, most of London is far safer, statistically, than the smaller provincial cities and larger towns. Middlesbrough is genuinely scary after dark, which is strange because the people are lovely during the day. Likewise Bradford and Hull. Apart from the lovely people caveat, clearly. Other than the 'Unite the Kingdom' march last week, I've never really seen the drunken flag waving you mention. Not in London, anyway.  I'd avoid the Medway towns, if I was you.
