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?

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
