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

    Not really. The house of lords will have a big say. They are safe from the public opinion. How many lords and ladies were a part of the latest decision? Yes as in the judges. So if anything happens they don't like it can be called unlawful and they can vote on it. Yet you can't remove them...

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

    Have you just had a lightbulb moment? Yes millions of those who voted leave do think this way. Just like millions of those who voted the other way are just as pig headed and refuse to listen to anything else. That is what the problem is.

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

    It is safe to say that nobody will ever have the answers. As you will know this is why I was for it to go ahead although it wasn't what I wanted. Now this fiasco will only get worse.

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

    I have been offered x30. It is a massive amount. But to get 3% after costs means making about 5% before costs. This is quite a high risk in days of low inflation. And all the risk would be on me. Leaving it where it is also gives lots of benefits. But some were getting quotes of life changing...

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

    I want it all upheld. But it has gone on so long that it is now impossible to upheld everything as they now contradict each other. This is what we spoke about a couple of years ago. So which will of the people do we now keep to? How do we pacify those who don't get what they wanted? Or put...

    Democracy. A word that suddenly has so many different meanings.

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

    Yes but closed last year as it was costing nearly 80% of my wage to keep it going with the tax and new rules put onto it. I am now guaranteed a minimum of 3% a year no risk to me with triple lock benefits.

    I learned my lesson last time when Gordon Brown killed off final salary pensions. Most of mine is now fully protected until I take it from where it is. I hold no risk. I am now being offered a massive amount to take it out but it is staying until I know what is happening.

    Half the people are happy with the result. The other half are getting more angry that their wishes are getting ignored.

    But who is there to oppose him? Most of those against him have been forced out. And Labour don't want to force a GE.

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

    The question is who can we trust. If we have another election now I don't know who I would vote for. I have voted Labour all my life. I normally ignore the bad and look at the good. I was dragged up on council estates in Coventry by a single parent. But now I am unsure what Labour stands for...

    Driving test quiz

    Stopping on ice got me. No logic to it. All cars stop differently. Just like the stopping distances you have to learn. There isn't any cars being manufactured that take anywhere near as long as they say.

    Driving test quiz

    Cats eyes on motorways are simple. Red = danger. Normally separates lane from hard shoulder or edge of road. Green = go. Junctions where you can drive on/off road. Amber = danger. But always on right of where red is on left. It is so you can tell the difference in fog. And finally white...

    Driving test quiz

    19/20. Got the last question wrong. Was between the right one and wrong one for me. About half of them questions were so easy that it should be an instant fail for getting any of them wrong. But a few of them come from experience.

    The one thing for certain would be that the losing side would blame it on the complexities of the vote.

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

    So it is my generations fault and not Brown and Tory Bliar? Everyone will remember your rants on the subject. You just ignored all evidence like now. As in yes house prices are up but interest rates are at record low rates and have been for many years. So houses are as affordable as they have...

    Totally wrong as usual. But you do love putting your spin on anything. Just like when you tried to blame my generation for final salary pensions ending but then refused to consider that the Labour party was to blame. So in your own words what was the affordability through the years?
