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...

    • Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks 
    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
