Aghh please don't go down the imperial route - "we fought two world wars for the right to use arbitrary units that don't use base 10 nonsense". Brave new world of the early 70s when the UK still believed it was at the cutting edge of technology (which to be fair there are numerous examples of where we were - but that is another subject). School kids like myself were drilled in metric, Kellogg had a campaign at that time on their cereal packets - something like 1 metre equals feet 3.3, it's bigger than a yard you see. Yet 45 years later market stalls in leave dominant areas still feel that they have a right to be metric martyrs...


Canada get it. Ireland get it. We can get it. Or align to America where it will take another millennium.


Have switched off BBC news and moved to Channel 4. Newsnight fine though.

Well it's not Theresa May and certainly not Jeremy Corbyn (Thank God)

Who else do you think makes the Rules ?

and Corbyn ? What about Corbyn.

? Blair has 10 homes ? The ones we know about.

He makes a fortune by speaking at lucrative events.

Corbyn is after a Slice of this very Lucrative Pie.


Labour could not give a shite about the #Homeless


Brexit or no Brexit.

What is your (credible) evidence for the part in bold above, exactly?


If you haven't got any, then please don't post such (insert bad word of your choice, such as crap) on here.

BREX: 27%

LAB: 22%

CON: 15%

GRN: 10%

LDEM: 9%

UKIP: 7%

CHUK: 6%


When TIG first formed they were polling at 18%, but have quickly fallen, BP is currently enjoying a similar new party bounce. Regardless, with only 5 weeks until the vote there's no time for complacency from the remain side. This is already going to be less about manifestos and instead a straight forward re-run of the referendum, the difference being that the vote is fragmented, affecting Remain more than Leave. At the moment there isn't a party that remainers can clearly identify with and get behind, like there is with the Brexit Party...it does what it says on the tin. BP obviously picking up most of it's votes from disgruntled Tory Brexit voters. If Labour backed a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote then they would pick up a lot of the remain vote. I know that despite not wanting to vote for anything to do with Corbyn, on this issue I would vote for Labour thinking they had the best chance of beating Farage and winning seats...

    • I can't recommend Leon too highly.  He provides a first-rate service.  He's friendly but also professional.  He sorted out my extractor fan which  was running incessantly because another electrician had bodged it. At the same time he saved me buying a new shaver unit which had stopped working when the extractor wouldn't stop running. He was also uncomplaining about having to to go up and down 3 flights of stairs between the bathroom and the electrical power unit. He will definitely be my first port of call for any future electrical issues.  His contact number is: 07707 925039.
    • Leave it white .the buyer will already have a vision of what they want.
    • of course most people would avoid the "stupid" term - but I'm sticking with it fact is no other European would be so dumb, and even with the same information, the  same media, the same everything, 2 of the countries within the UK saw ho stupid an idea it was - but only the English (who played a large part in the Welsh result) pushed ahead - there is something defiantly arrogant and stupid and it isn't just down to bad info and bad leadership But that was all 2016 - it's people in 2025 who claim it to be a good idea executed badly who are especially stupid Now - does calling people stupid help anyone? It's not especially politically gainful and just gets peoples' backs up - but it remains a truth and only when the country as a whole genuinely holds it's hands up and admits the stupidity (rather than downplaying it as a poor decision - no shade meant Mal - you are just nicer and politer than me) will it begin. to turn the tide Also worth mentioning that yes I am as intractable and blunt with friends and family who voted Leave as well - this isn't me hiding behind some online anonymous account. This is what I'm like
    • Hello My name is Lizzie and I work locally as a dog walker and nanny. I won’t be needed over Summer so will have full availability for a dogsitting job. I have a DBS certificate and will provide several dogsitting references as well. Please note that I can only watch your pet at your home since they are sadly not allowed in my flat! Looking forward to hear from you
