Is it just me that's actually starting to think, "let the house burn"? I'm so fed up with the 'project fear' nonsence, that a small part of me is starting to believe that we should crash out and let Boris et al be exposed as the con artists they undoubtably are. There is no good way out of this and it feels a bit like we'd be better just ripping the plaster off and rebuilding again.

It seems the U.K. is fulfilling the post-empire prophecy of managed decline. We only punched above our weight previously because of our common market membership, not in spite of it. Few people alive today will have memories of living in post war economic uncertainty. A bankrupt country crawling out of debt. The idea we are a great nation punching above our weight is laughable in the context of Brexit. Without EU membership, I would hate to see what state this country would be in today. Ah well, you reap what you sow. I have a tin hat somewhere.

Same. I typed a longer response but then thought better of it.

Seems the UK managed to f**k up potential trade deals with both China and Japan due to sheer stupidity. Meanwhile the media manages to focus on a teenage girl in a foreign country who is apparently a threat to the nation. To keep the story going, let's strip her of her citizenship. That will keep the great unwashed busy for a while.

To be fair the trade deal with Japan is still on the table, although I suspect we?ve burned some goodwill. China is always tricky territory, both literally and figuratively, although Williamson has to know that which makes his comments even more bone-headed.


All that said, it doesn?t bode well for the idea that we?re good negotiators.

And yet Kate Hoey is allowed to ignore the fact that 70% of HER constituents voted Remain?


Let me see if I understand your ?logic?...


- MP voted Remain, but constituents voted Leave, MP is duty-bound to support Leave. Ok, yeah, fair enough - I see where you?re coming from on that. They work for us and so on.


- MP voted Leave, but constituents voted Remain (by a far greater margin than the overall result), MO is duty-bound to lecture those constituents about how wrong they are and then ignore their opinions. Um, hang on...isn?t that exactly what you objected to for so many years, and isn?t that completely twisted? And massively hypocritical? Yes. Yes it is.


Oh, and look - ?libturd?. Your term of abuse for anyone who disagrees with you.

I bet you looked fetching in your yellow vest. Funny how they say people get more right-wing as they age, eh?


?Libturd?...dear oh dear...

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove are journalists. Winston Churchill was a journalist. Geoffrey Cox is a barrister and so was Margaret Thatcher. Seriously, take some water with it and try not to start so early.

OK this is even more chaos now - someone tried to draw a decision tree of Mays latest plan - but what happens when you get to the bottom right - you can't say no deal as it's already been voted down in the earlier portion of the decision tree.

      Thankyou! Originally I had a private referral ( husband had health insurance at time) and so worn insoles for years but I still wear my shoes down in one place at a ridiculous rate! A fab chiropodist agrees with posture is everything stance. Experienced cobbler says some it ain’t right and I’m over corrected.

      I've booked a session with Elmcourt Clinic in West Norwood, recommended by our daughter. A two-week wait for the slot, though.  https://www.elmcourtclinic.co.uk/

      I don't know everyone else's foot problems are, but I have classic and apparently quite bad deformity - bunions, pain etc. I went to the Woodware Rd practice a few years ago and got orthotics for the not inconsiderable price of £600.  The team there seems very nice but, now that I am experiencing a new type of foot pain, I'm wondering if I've been doing it all wrong these years with supportive trainers and insoles. I'm beginning to realise (seems obvious now) that, if I want to cure my foot pain, maybe I need to change the way I walk, and my posture etc. And also, maybe I need to try barefoot shoes, to build muscle where there's been no need prior, because shoes have been doing all the supporting.  I've been educating myself with Helen Hall and Lawrence van Lingen and addressing my gait seems like a more organic way to solve the problem. Podiatrists will convince you that orthotics and / or surgery are the only way to go, but look up reddit forums and you'll find countless people saying they 'cured' their bunions with barefoot walking / shoes / and exercises.
