OK, if you're still in favour of the, increasingly likely, car crash that is Brexit then no action required here ? I?m not going to try and convince you to change your mind, so lets not open a leave/remain debate.



However, if like me you have genuine concerns for the state of this country over the next few years. Or if you are finally starting to realise that this wasn't as simple as you'd been promised. Or the penny has finally dropped that, all things considered, the EU is actually a good thing - then read on.


Personally, as a remain voter, I currently feel pretty powerless. Both main political parties seem dedicated to doing something that delivers the ?will of the people? ? at any cost.



So, I?m going to the PEOPLES VOTE MARCH on 20th October

https://www.peoples-vote.uk/march


We'll be going as a family


Get along, bring your family, bring some friends and tell others who may also feel the same way as you.


Do not sit on the couch and expect it all to be OK.


Will a march change anything? Maybe, maybe not ? but at least I will know that I I *tried* to do the right thing.



I?ve also put my name down to volunteer to deliver leaflets to encourage others to attend the march. If anybody feels as strongly as me, I?d encourage you also to do the same. Details here:

If anybody wants to co-ordinate leaflet delivery, please DM me

Sorry out of exile again. Great comment on Youtube to the BJ tackle - "it was difficult but I managed to m*s*u*b*t" to this". Found it highly amusing, totally irreverent but perhaps I am just puerile and belong to another age... And no I didn't and no it wasn't my comment.


Right back into exile. Sticks and stones and all that business.

How is that 'shitstirring' or 'trolling'....after all Democracy Is Democracy and the EU ain't that. As far as the economy goes the EU have undermined our manufacturing, fishing , farming etc etc since day 1....anyway who needs the Somerset variety of strawberries 52/24/7 grown under polythene in Spain?

I certainly agree with that second observation. As to the first, I doubt that economic success would keep the more rabid remainers quiet. Economic stats are so complex and varied that they can always be interpreted in a way that shows some negative movement. It's like the ? - on the one hand it is great that the pound has weakened (personally I've made quite a profit on that) and while a movement like that plainly helps our exports, tourism and therefore B of P, on the other hand it could be held out as a negative factor such as causing inflation for imports - and vice versa. There's enough inherent flexibility and complexity in our economic situation (it would be the same for any country's economic situation) to feed (some) remainers' angst for years to come.

That was trolltastic, keep it up guys, every post rightly puts this important thread back at the top of the EDF chart.

Remember, all publicity is good publicity.

Don't forget the Wooferendum this Sunday too!...


 

We weren't well informed first time round (crap talked on both sides).

We'll be much better informed if a second vote happens.

A better informed electorate means better democracy.


Theresa May called a General Election half-way through a fixed-term parliament and there weren't riots in the streets...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
