@Lynne , I don't know. The no name-calling policy was meant for direct name-calling, like 'you moron' or 'you idiot'. The terms Remoaner and Brexshitter are not nice terms, but seem to have been adopted by the mainstream. Remember, freedom of speech, or the protection of free speech, is the freedom to offend, because you don't need to protect people from being nice to each other. But the ...

“Brexit is a shambles. I keep saying that. We could get to the end of the process and we’ll fall off a precipice. I don’t know if that will happen. “I was talking six months ago about food shortages and everybody laughed at me. But now the supermarkets have come out with the same story. “People need to start thinking. If we have no deal there could easily be an impact that some people don’t ...

The leaving of 2 Brexit minister David Davies and Dominic Rabb was odd at crucial times.Follow this with May's  ...

Thousands of customers are being penalised by their utility providers for wanting bills sent through the post. Telecoms watchdog Ofcom says firms are allowed to bill customers a 'reasonable fee' to cover the extra cost of posting statements. Many say it is impossible for them to switch to online billing as they do not own a computer and cannot afford to get one. Valerie Born, 81, a widow ...

After the 1975 referendum Leavers were told to suck it up and ignored for decades.  It was UKIP sweeping the board at the 2014 EU elections that scared the crap out of the Tories which then resulted in the 2016 ref.  The genie is well and truly out of the bottle, if we are sold down the river with Brexit, Leavers will not sit idly by and accept that.  Pollitics in this country has been changed ...
