General Discussion
MP Dr Sarah Wollaston was in the Brexit camp because she was critical of David Cameron's performance in gaining concessions from the EU. If anyone is dim-witted it is our Prime Minister, who set himself up for a fall by raising expectations of successful negotiations - but then returning with a basket half-empty. But the referendum issue is much wider than a leadership popularity contest ...
Your right Lynne. Family rifts will be difficult enough - the Tory party's seem terminal. But will UKIP become the dominant force in English politics in a post-Brexit world? Scarey thought...
Interesting to see three generations on TV news last night, Lynne. Grandmother wanted out, but could not be persuaded by her granddaughter to reflect on how her decision would affect those with most of their lives ahead of them. The last shot of Gran was at the postbox with her 'leave' postal vote . Granddaughter was very concerned about her future and the restriction of opportunity ...
Most of the social media I am in tune to Burneside, think it was the only sensible, democratic option. I can imagine why the Brexit camp are unhappy - they know very well that it was an upsurge in young people desperate to register to vote that has caused the registration website to crash. It would have been unthinkable that this group - with most of their lives ahead of them - could have ...
Meanwhile, despite cross-party support, the Conservative MP for Bridgwater and West Somerset, Ian Liddell-Grainger, has denounced the decision to extend the registration deadline. The MP faced calls from within his own party to be deselected as a candidate in the general election last year because of his "...divisive behaviour" and for "setting people against each other instead of ...
Tory MP for Totnes, Dr Sarah Wollaston, has quit the campaign to leave the EU and will vote for Remain instead, she told the BBC. Dr Wollaston, chairman of the health select committee, said Vote Leave's claim that Brexit would free up £350m a week for the NHS "simply isn't true". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36485464

Stirring stuff Morty. People have been asking for passion from the Remainers and here we have it. And a narrative that supports the passion with the facts. ...Vote Remain. Not in fear, but with pride – about what we, the people of Europe, have achieved together. Not in ignorance, but with science firmly on our side. And not alone, but with the greatest ...
Absolutely right S. Successive UK Government's have grappled with our national debt - but it is growing still. Cutting ties with our closest economic partners will be ruinous to the very trade we are relying on to extricate us from this fiscal black hole. Even BoJo admits to a short term shock to the economy following Brexit - but offers no guarantee things would get better. Without ...
How refreshing. A Brexiter that does not believe in a conspiracy theory. Or is that only if we vote in favour of cutting ourselves adrift?
