    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Because the root cause behind this is austerity and inequality... there are still those on the Labour side that believe in it.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not for the same reasons though... and that's why this is so complicated.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    On a practical level what would a large Brexit party majority do with seats on a council they don't want to be part of? Assuming the Brexit party wins, can they maintain that in a UK election why they appear to be a single policy party at this time? If we get an election Brexit will not be the...

    Game of thrones (Again)

    Not sure that necessarily means you have to have shit writing.

    Game of thrones (Again)

    You're easily pleased that's all. For 2 years of hype, promotion and a previous 7 seasons of generally excellent TV - I expected more.

    Game of thrones (Again)

    Dan and Dave wanted to bugger off and do Star Wars - they turned down more episodes AND seasons.

    Game of thrones (Again)

    It was rushed - but there was no need for it to be... that much time and effort into an epic tale deserved better thought. Dany’s story arc made sense (even though I didn’t want it to go that way) and it could have been fleshed out a bit more as you’ve said. It’s Jon’s story... intertwined...

    Game of thrones (Again)

    I think there is a bigger point here in that actually epic storytelling has generally been finished poorly. Thinking back to LOTR as an example... even in horror (IT and the Stand are 2 examples of this by S King) Unless of course you let the evil people win. That could work.

    Game of thrones (Again)

    LOL - how did you work me out so quickly... The writers decided to finish one of the best TV shows ever by showcasing the writing skills of a 15 year old trying to finish their English homework on the bus. I’m happy to live in the sad world that calls it out for the bullshit it is. That said...

    Game of thrones (Again)

    A great show yes - but a piss poor ending.

    Game of thrones (Again)

    I was invested in the storyline of Jon's parentage. A secret that would have rocked the Seven Kingdoms to it's very foundation.... Ned's sacrifice was cheapened. I was invested in the Night King/White Walker storyline. The fact that petty squabbles were meaningless against a visceral evil...

    Fair play to you for somehow being able to extract enough positive points to fill a paragraph.

    You don't get anywhere by burying your head in the sand

    Just a question, and I’m interested in your thoughts on this... is the lack of synergy because there are other agendas going on in the background - or is that a bad take from reading too much into social media posts and past actions?

    Game of thrones (Again)

    Yes I've read them - they are heavy going at times (A Feast for Crows especially). You can see why they didn't introduce all his characters otherwise we'd have about 100 seasons!, but I think it was worth the time investment.

    Geoffrey Robinson

    There’s no way Geoffrey Robinson has/had the capability required to be a spy.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The corruption in the EU has to be eliminated for a start (as it does here in the UK)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    This will never work until there is that infrastructure change in the EU, and the commitment to a massive change in the way the UK looks after it citizens.
