I don't think it helpful to say one side were misled. We were all misled. Both sides presented weak and fear monger of campaigns. Which is another reason why referendums are a bad idea. We don't get a quality debate, we get more heat than light.

I don't want it to fail and will accept it turned out well if it does. That is a long term aim, anyway. I have always feared the short term disruption and doubt that jam tomorrow will be worth the upheaval. What I doubt we will see from the Brexiteers is any admission that they got it wrong if...

Evidence? I couldn't disagree more. Corbyn is the very epitome of any definition of a career politician. This 'career politician' is just a lazy smear. The majority could earn much more in other jobs but have chosen a career of public service. I include Tories, who I generally find...

I am in block 21 and didn't hear any of that from the corner.

With the greatest respect I couldn't disagree more. This is nonsensical and certainly does not respect democracy. We vote regularly for good reasons, largely so that we can change direction when we are poorly governed. The idea that you should stick to a decision even when a majority...

This thread is like a throwback to the 60s or an episode of 'Til death us do part' o_O I have a large family and none of them go shopping on Boxing Day or go out to pubs all day. They all have family round or relaxing days. Home games would be fine but nobody would consider an away trip. This...

If only there were a reset button. Perhaps a handbrake would be better. Sadly, everyone seems determined to fight over the gear stick whilst the vehicle approaches the cliff.

Time for a few sanctions against USA like apartheid South Africa. Refuse to send any sports teams there on the grounds that we cannot guarantee their safety in a gun toting, lawless state.

They can just employ Catholics in their schools. The ad is allowed to say, "must be practising Catholic." Try getting a job teaching RE or Philosophy in a Catholic school if you are not a Catholic. This discrimination is legal and these are tax funded schools.

I think people are getting confused here. Of course some of these allegations are not as serious as others. Nobody should try to conflate them or compare them. Each has to be assessed on its own. However, if these incidents take place in the workplace the perpetrators need to be subject to...

Surveys that involve writing on a plane, a restaurant, pub or hotel that involve you doing some work for a promise of a prize entry. I want a reward not a possible prize. The least they should offer is a free drink, pen, key ring whatever, but I ain't working for nothing. The worst I can...

I switch many devices off at the wall when not in use. Genuinely baffles people. Many times I have been told that the whiteboard in my room doesn't work. Yes it does just flick the switch on the wall! I also mute devices when I am not listening, including all ads and many intros to programmes...

Primary, yes, let them go. Secondary, no way Jose. I can promise you the second I let one child go, the procession begins. One class in the afternoon I used to teach. First kid toilet request NO. Next kid in row after whispering, Can I fill my water bottle? NO. Whispering. Next kid I need to...

Haven't had one for over fifty years when I was a toddler, so I wouldn't know. No idea how anyone can fall asleep in the day. I can only sleep at night in a bed. I can't even drop off on night flights. Also I never get up in the night for a wee and I'm an old fogey (nearly) Seems completely...

The list of pressures on all of us increases but for children today here are a few, Immaturity is encouraged by parents who mollycoddle and do everything for them. This leads to lack of resilience, unable to cross a road. poor skills ... many children start school in nappies, cannot do the...

I think more men are surprised by this than women. This kind of behaviour is well known and people don't speak up because the perpetrators, some men and some women, are powerful and rich and seem untouchable. It may be common knowledge but it is difficult to prove. Once you fail to make an...

I think we need to differentiate here. "Get forward" or "Forward" can mean players not the ball. Even when they went down to 10 and we had the ball they often had 9 players behind the ball and we had only 4 or 5. At that point I was shouting, "get forward" meaning players not hoofing the ball...

A positive for me is that I have seen 5 home games and have yet to see a goal conceded. 4 wins and one draw. Big improvement from last season! Thankful for small mercies.

Not much movement is evident in these screenshots. :smuggrin::banghead:

Another referendum is a bad idea, but if we end up with a "bad deal" being rejected by parliament or a no deal then a general election must be called. Then each party has to come up with a clear way forward: no deal walk away or accept a bad deal or remain. Of course the main parties are not...
