General Discussion
It is clear Lynne than none of us have all of the answers. I do not share ND's dystopian views (although there is much to agree with in what he says about global resources and our society's race to exploit them - and the appalling vacilation on refugees) and while I do consider there to be a lurking existential element to our decision to leave or remain in the EU, without a more positive ...
This from yesterday's I newspaper:
Fred, We have already covered what the Queen's position is on the referendum, however this is what The Express quotes, hot from the UKIP battle bus tour, from Nigel Farage: "I think Boris is a very good guy. "He could be our next prime minister - if we vote for Brexit he probably will be." As for the other questions, I can only say that I believe most people are taking it very seriously, ...
In that case ND, we should perhaps let Sir Bob have the final say in the matter: ...while David Cameron may have misjudged his invocation of a Third World War, I agree with Geldof that the lessons of history should be heeded, and that the existential threats to Europe’s security would be better addressed as a united force. “I will never vote for anything that sends my children and ...
Chaos whether we stay or leave? Now there's a cheery thought. So better to stay at home then, rather than go out to vote to leave the EU - and find yourself blamed for the chaos.
I do not altogether subscribe to ND's rather depressing snapshot of Europe and its leadership, but if you are not persuaded by the importance of our place it in at what may be a turning point in the EU's history I can recommend a look back in time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_Republic
Hi Jelly, yes agree with S and Lynne on pub grub choices, with The Ship and The Anchor especially good for fish dishes. Closer to Dawlish, the Mount Pleasant Inn on the south side of Dawlish Warren is also good for food and (on a clear day - tomorrow, maybe!) has elevated views of the Jurassic Coast towards Lyme Bay. Hope you have a good fact-finding mission - and look forward to ...
Interesting that the I's columnist "... get a visa to go to Ibiza" quote is primarily aimed at our youth - but it's a question holiday-makers of all age ranges will be asking. As for what may happen to those who have retired (or who would wish to retire) to southern Europe on the UK's 'triple lock' pension, I do not know. Some will feel these folk should manage with a frozen government ...
Whether you are an old crusty like me or a young swinger looking forward to going to Powderham next weekend, here is a refreshing take on the debate from a non-politician with a remarkable world view: http://inews.co.uk/opinion/columnists/i-trust-bob-geldof-politician-eu/ "Geldof is 64-years-old now, but he hasn’t lost the ability to rouse the rabble. He may not naturally have ...
It would seem that nobody's perfect, Purrrrrfect. I refer to S's thread of the 18th May at 11:58 above: 'What are those sheds/dumping ground? Does it look like that now?'
