General Discussion
@Lynne I take your point, however I do not think that you should make that comparison with a General Election. A GE is something that happens at least every 5 years, the EU Referendum was supposed to be a "one-off" (or so we were promised!!).
I really do not know now. I have voted Conservative in the past, but might have considered voting Labour now if Jeremy Corbyn was not the leader. I remember the middle to late 1970s so I can not put my cross to his party. If we did not have a reasonable Independent candidate, I would look for something like Screaming Lord Sutch, or spoil my vote, unless political parties change very radically by ...
@Lynne to be fair, the closest vote was "Customs Union" - 8, compared to 27 in the confirmatory vote. One should look at the whole picture, and not cherry pick a la Anna Soubry. By the way, interesting to see that she is against a General Election bearing in mind that her constituency voted Leave, and would then most likely lose her seat.
Project Fear again. Remoaners are very quick to accuse the Leave campaign as a pack of lies...maybe so for some of it (the number on the bus (yawn), which was exposed well before the vote), but they seem to forget how the Remain campaign foretold mass unemployment, thousands of pounds drop in wages, the sky falling in and asteroids colliding with planet Earth the day after the referendum if it did ...
Ok so us baby boomers (there are a lot of us) who selfishly live longer in houses that we either bought and paid for, or have occupied for decades, should move out into smaller accommodation so that the annual flood of immigrants should immediately have spacious living, without having to go through the cramped conditions that us baby boomers (so many of us) suffered initially until our hard work ...
The parking problem was not helped because a huge lorry that arrived to remove one of the recycling skips promptly broke down!!
What @Paul said!!!
Three or four riding abreast is indeed selfish. However it is all very well demanding that cyclists pay insurance and tax etc, but enforcing that would be so difficult. Sometimes it is good to take a step back and reflect....just exactly how long were you held back by these selfish cyclists? What has that time wasted behind them actually cost you? Having said that, it is really frustrating to be ...
Diana Mond, I do not intend to enter into any further discussion on this thread, as I have no information that can help in this case, but I feel that any effort to try to identify the owner of this dog is worth it. In my experience, it has been not been usual for evidence to come to light some time after the event in unexpected ways, but it does happen quite often. With that in mind, what harm is ...
Deedoodle, I for one appreciate your efforts to try to find the owner of this dog. I was horrified to hear about this attack. For me it is a serious matter for our town. Diana Mond, I think that you could have chosen a thread on a different subject to pursue your vendetta against Deedoodle in such an infantile way. For the benefit of all who read this, I have no idea who Deedoodle or Diana Mond ...
