Brilliant parody...
Re: Eu referendum (non political)
Don't Know if anyone looks at the 'have your say ' forums on the BBC News site ?
There's some scarey people on there..left and right.. and the more controversial posts seem to get censored. What a divided country we seem to have become, and the old tradition of agreeing to disagree over a beer seems to have gone. It's a right shame I think

Re: Eu referendum (non political)
Keep hearing about our divided country. But I'm not convinced that it's really changed, just those differences have been emphasised by recent events.SteveClem wrote:What a divided country we seem to have become...
I hated the awful grey drabness of the Major/Blair/Brown/Cameron years. Europe wears that mantle with so many national coalition governments which are just another shade of grey but offer no real alternative. That's not democracy, just a weak substitute.
Now British politics has become exciting again with some real alternatives

Re: Eu referendum (non political)
It was always going to be a rocky road, and complicated by party politics. Back in the '70's I voted for a free trade area,not a European megastate that was patently non democratic. I still think that our national instinct was probably correct at the referendum. Time will tell.

I voted in favour of EEC free trade area in 1975 because it seemed the obvious choice.SteveClem wrote:Back in the '70's I voted for a free trade area...
But we have been cheated by its escalation into an undemocratic political union which I would never have voted for. Perhaps I was just too naive to realise what would happen...
In anything but the short term, UK must be better off away from this EU fiasco...

PS. Should we rename this thread? It is getting a bit political now

Brexit could be halted if Labour used its next general election manifesto to commit to not leaving the EU...

Re: Eu referendum (non political)
Can't see that happening. The weird beard hates the EU. Sees it as some capitalist plot to deprive the striving proletariat of something or another.
