Here's a thought, let's implement the decision taken on 23rd June 2016 to leave the EU, then in maybe a decade we can revisit it to see if it has worked out or not. After all, we had to wait 40 years for another rethink after the 1975 referendum, in which time myriad treaties were brought into force without any of us having a say in whether we agreed with them. Two years on and Remainers ...

Before the referendum the terms "soft" and "hard" Brexit did not exist, it was just Brexit. "Soft Brexit" is something dreamt up by Remainers as a way of keeping us in the EU by the back door, just as May has proposed in her Chequers document.  It won’t wash, voters can see straight through her duplicity. We are not negotiating with the EU, they just want abject surrender from the UK.  ...

I suppose she can always fall back on her medical career. We haven't even left the EU yet, an exit agreement has still to be finalised, so any consequences are pure speculation. Under May's Chequers proposals we won't really be leaving at all, she must think we are all bloody stupid.  Hopefully when parliament resumes next month a serious challenge to her leadership will take place, and ...

Wollaston needs to retain the support of the local Tory association if she wants to be the Conservative candidate at the next election.  Given her track record of teaming up with a couple of other traitorous colleagues and voting against the government on key EU withdrawal bills, I wouldn’t say that support can be guaranteed.

Since the 2010 general election the Lib Dems have lost 50% of their voters in this constituency, normally I would say Wrigley hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of taking back the seat but given the parlous state of the Tories and May's total surrender to Brussels I wouldn't say Morris's position is very safe.  One thing I do hope is that Sarah Wollaston in Totnes is kicked out, that would ...

Not being a bus user I had no idea you could get to that wretched farmer's field on public transport, I still won't be visiting it though.  I have far better things to do than wander around a crap filled field.

If I want to go out and get some fresh air the last place I would visit is a farmer's field full of dog walkers and the attendant excreta.

Rationing ended in the 50s, we joined the EEC in 1973.  As usual you are not making any sense.

Because, of course, before we joined the EEC/EC/EU life in this country was just like that. You're old enough to know better, Mrs C.

A quarter of a million pounds to turn a farmer's field into a dog walking area that, for most people in Dawlish, can only be reached by car. What a great idea.  Thanks EU.
