The two sides in this disagreement are begining to sound as 'flexible' as the folk of Northern Ireland.  Democracy nearly arrived there, eventually, and seems to be ebbing again like the tide.  But along the way we all suffered a huge amount of ear-bashing and bloodletting from the bigots of both sides .  {If we eventually declare full  'independence' from our near neighbours, Ulster will have a ...

Actually Fred, I think Andrew Neil speaks for 99.9% of the people in our country - from the left to the right, the North to the South. Not just the 52%.

Nice to see the black swan and the   3 cygnets in the Times today.

@burnside It isn't up to me when this issue gets revisited next. It is up to the people of this country. Could be next year. Could be in 40 years time. Could be never at all. It's for the population to decide  - and I guess how the population will view things will depend on how things pan out.

There was an article in one of the national newspapers last week about the new state pension and national insurance contributions (Nics). For those of an age where all this starts to matter, the info contained in the link below, to the newspaper article, might be of useful interest. ...

The vote on the 23rd June mattered, burneside - but nothing like as much as the difficult choices that now await our Government as a consequence.

The U.K. voted to leave the E.U. and that's what was on the label. The only problem is that we still have a need to do trade with the european countries and they are all legally bound to the self appointed dictatorship that calls itself the European Union. Like it or not we have decided to leave, but still have to stay in some twisted way to trade. The only thing I can guarantee is that ...
