The OP has certainly opened a debate (they didn't want to open a debate)!? about the leave/remain question on the forum on the 1st October and not been on here since 8th October.


Maybe they are too tired after distributing leaflets and going on a march.

oooh keano, the poor darkies need you to speak up for them, is that it?

take it from me, mate, sometimes they're actually able to make up their minds for themselves, believe it or not


you have the temerity, the absolute arsiness, to ask what the matter is with me, do you?

if you play the race card, then come on, at least have the guts to play it through to the end, don't try and duck out, like a lily-livered nincompoop, you prat!

I didn?t think it was possible for to make yourself look like more of an idiot over this Keano, but well done, you?ve managed to!


Shame you?ve got so little self-awareness that you don?t understand how stupid you?ve been, but I guess back in your day people could take a joke and knew their place, eh?

What is the ethnic makeup of the UK as a whole and how does this compare with the Peoples Vote march. I think you might find it's very similar to be honest. The Peoples Vote march was a UK wide march held in London.


White British is 87% of the UK population.

Edit: When you have a subsection of the population as big as 700,000+ then it begins to approximate the real population makeup I'd say (not a statistics guy)

As ever, haters gonna hate. You can imagine the sneering Brexiter remarks had there been a disproportionately high number of 'non-white' faces, Londonistan etc. As John says, it was representative of the country as a whole, groups from Orkney to Cornwall came, all-inclusive, all getting along, all having a good time. It's quite clear the Brixiters are rattled by the huge numbers that showed up, it's a game changer, well done everyone who went, it was a fantastic day...

If parliament votes against Theresa May's deal and we are left in no-mans land with parliament not wanting no deal then maybe, maybe not.


I don't know where we're headed, May might be gone in a week, it's all volatile.

I'm still on the fence over that :)


Theresa May today was supposed to have said ?None of this is about me. It?s all about you.? other reports say the quote was "Brexit talks are not about me or my personal fortunes" either way she's feeling the pressure..

Notice Chris Grayling puts party before country in the below quote ...


"One of Theresa May?s key allies has called on Conservative MPs to show ?calm, level heads? on Brexit during a potentially treacherous political week for the prime minister, insisting that a deal acceptable to a majority of the party is still possible."

There was a leadership vote, May won, the party needs to respect the vote and the will of the party membership.

How dare they think they can change their mind, they're nothing but enemies of the party, quislings, a betrayal of democracy!...

      Dehumidifier to borrow

      By bidvid · Posted

      Hello,  I feel as though our apartment is damp. I would like to borrow a dehumidifier to ascertain whether it is or not. Does anyone have a dehumidifier that I could borrow for a week?  thank you,    Brigid

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By malumbu · Posted

      Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
