Yes. I missed a game once because I'd agreed to tidy up my nan's garden and some brambles and holly had started growing and I got scratched to buggery. That hurt.

We will continue our programme of strategic national investments, including High Speed 2 Conservative Party 2017 Manifesto. p23-24

So what's to stop the government passing an Act specifically saying that the result would be legally binding? Nothing. They can do that if they want. Whether they would choose to is another issue entirely. Of course the Tories could put that in their manifesto. But let's face it, if Remain won...

See above for how a second referendum could be done. Legally binding, clear process. Followed through on either way before any GE. Of course some would still make it an issue in a following GE but it's importance would be diminished and more emphasis would be placed on the more general policies...

I disagree another referendum wouldn't necessarily make things worse. It would all depend on how it was worded. The problems we're now facing are predominantly due to two things. 1. It was never a legally binding referendum 2. Ambiguity over what Leave meant with a huge multitude of options...

You also said that the entire general election would be fought on the basis of that one policy. I literally quoted you. There is no evidence a referendum would be skewed because we have no idea what the question would be. Yes, let's solve that pesky problem of an independent judiciary. I...

My opinion was the same - leave had to be assumed to be no deal. But literally no-one on the Leave campaign said that is what they were doing. Every single one, inc. current Mr. No Deal Farage were saying parts would be kept or we could pick and choose. We may have been able to see beyond that...

Exactly the response I expected. For someone with apparently independent thought you're MO is exactly that of someone following the money agenda. Concede nothing, never admit you've made a mistake, never apologise. One of the first things one of the managers told me in the industry. From those...

But they are national and anyone can talk about any team. I'm sure Clive would happily talk to a Cov Utd fan but then he wouldn't want to be seen to be pushing an anti CCFC agenda.

Dunno. Why don't you ask Jeeves?

IMO you can have left/right wing economic and left/right wing social. Lib Dems economics is more right wing, social is more left. What about thought on things like abortion, homosexuality, sexism etc? These have absolutely no relation whatsoever to economic policy. But someone anti-abortion or...

He specifically mentioned becoming more well-off which is implicitly referencing tax. It is well-known that people fear change as they get older as the unfamiliarity of the unknown frightens them. Also by then conservatism has also evolved to become more akin to their own thoughts because it is...

He's also on Quest this weekend - two of his previous clubs playing in one of his other previous clubs stadium. He is also a coach at Doncaster I believe which may just affect his thinking.

To be fair I think most people couldn't until recently. Only a couple of years ago I learnt you're not supposed to let the kettle boil because it brings out the bitter taste in coffee.

Similarly last year someone I know was complaining about their radiators rattling and not having a lot of warmth go through them so they needed to call a heating engineer. I asked if he'd bled the radiators and he looked at me like I was insane - never even heard of it before. He's in his 30's.

So what about BSB's points? Going to argue with them rather than the clearly tongue-in-cheek response you have replied to?

The Lib Dems were set up to be a 'middle ground' but they lean more towards the left than right. They predominantly want change and on the whole favour more social equality policies, which is the opposite to most 'conservative' thinking. You've said on here before most Lib Dem votes come from...

And if the Lib Dems and Greens didn't exist Labour would be comfortably ahead, and that's not taking into account the Scots and Welsh National Parties. There are more left wing parties than right so the left vote is always more split up. Tories only seem to ever have one major challenger on...

In places like London it's expensive and the public transport system can get you about more than adequately. It's more than possible to live without a car as long as either a. you don't mind the extra time public transport takes b. you can afford to get everywhere by taxi's etc. Some people...
