@Lynne , we can argue about this for ever, but another referendum would simply cause so much more division and conflict, whichever way it goes. I believe that we have played our cards, rolled the dice and have to make the most of the result, however appalling you may feel it is.

@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.

As a Dawlish resident, who knows several other Dawlish residents who regularly use the railway, enjoying the beautiful journey and caring passionately about its future remaining in its present location as much as possible, I am rather confused (or perhaps bemused) by the above post, but definitely will not lose any sleep, or use up any further energy over it!!

Each to their own. For me, I find it a lovely place to go for a walk, with or without a dog. It is also lovely to see so many other people enjoying it. Yes there is the occasional bit of dog poo that has been missed or ignored, but in my experience the vast majority of dog owners pick up after their pets. This goes for Sandy Lane as well. I used to live in a city until a couple of years ago and ...

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!!
