Hope your family is ok, awful news.

I think ultimately there were a lot of negative emotions which led the leave campaign. Caused by newspapers owned by non Dom's, scapegoating immigrants, decades of lies and thought terminating EU cliches...
Then when the xenophobia and hard Brexit began the remainers also felt more negative emotions (hi!) but a proper investigation and airing never happened. Can't think practically when angry or upset already...
Now that everyone calmed down and logic returns the "it's a bit shit/project fear was right" thoughts get heard. Too late now, mostly.
It's completely stupid to call a binary referendum with no plan and then turn it mandatory.
But I'm not sure a "leaver" would have done better, it might have led to more trust and therefore a better outcome.
Maybe because that person would have also come up against parliament factions, with the erg wanting to watch the world burn, the DUP refusing to compromise, etc...

Have they not pushed that line from day one?
Perhaps he thinks it is his own original thoughts instead of the DM/whomever whispering into his brain :)
-
The Dunelm Dahlia emerged. Not quite looking like the one on the box but that's ok. First ever Dahlia I had the slugs sure love the leaves, but it seems healthy enough.
-
Bizarrely the Shell CEO (the outgoing one) mention in his last speech there SHOULD be windfall taxes.
He was against setting prices for fossil fuels/gas, but heck I don't know enough about all that, but just gets to show it is not a hard sell to slap some tax on there.
-
OK you are right, I may read too much into it.
But he states "the left is anti-growth" which I don't see in the Labour party?
Perhaps the English Greens are "anti-growth" but they have 1 whole seat I believe?
-
Writer doesn't seem to think climate change is a thing looking at his growth comments (unless he thinks Green Growth only?) and ultimately Reaganomics/Friedman's economic ideas =but only the worst of these= influenced Thatcher, ultimately an a USA > UK ideas migration.
Otherwise he's not wrong I think.

And she's back like an unflusheable turd.

The wild Ivy is very popular with birds here, it is another good plant to add to hedges if you feel like it.
As you don't want it on fences/brick, the sucker attachment roots trash the wood and stone...
-
As Sunak has no problems with deporting people to Rwanda, I guess no big surprise if she gets the job...
-
Jacob Rees-Mogg has quit.
Well at least that's something? :)
Now fingers crossed for a non horrible home office secretary...
-
Penny only got to 90 nominations so Rishi it is.
With no membership vote... one for the "oldest democracy in the world" :)
-
Ha! :)
-
I walk past the newspapers this morning, headlines are all about Sunak.
Sure he got the nominations but Penny Mordant is standing too,so WTF.
-
That he got 102 nominations in the first place is something...quiet word in his ear I guess from somebody ro please don't run.
Mordaunt Vs Sumak then?

Loss of EU funding that Westminster is not replacing means we may lose charities that help find disabled people / ex prisoners het training and employment.
Brexit broken promises again. I recall talking to a Belfast taxi driver just after the vote who voted Brexit for the economy.
He visited the Somme battlefields (many Irish / what's now NI died there) and he said it should never happen again. So not anti EU I think...he bought the economic fables.
I told him ok but are we sure England is going to replace the EU funds?
I thought not, well FFS it's not good to be right.

The DUP: blocks NI government because they refuse to sit
Also the DUP: it would take a miracle to have a government before the deadline =imposed on us by the timewasting tories who refused to sit with the EU since May this year= well, you know what to do...make that miracle happen... :p -
Lol 😂
-
They are going to try to steady things until the next GE and a lot of people will have forgotten, like they did with all Boris' crap.
Don't see them get a massive majority though as the hike in interest rates won't reverse any time soon...
-
Lots of ****ish comments but yes, that's a fail of the protest organizers.
You will have to assume adverse tactics from the other side.
-
Lol :)
-
Yeah that's not great :(
But birds also love hedges with berries, and anything they can nest in. Perhaps a temp gazebo wooden structure with lots of plants trailing over it and some birdhouses they can hide in can work while the new tree grows? We have Wrens and all sorts hiding in the ivy/clematis from the neighbours.
Mountain Ash have berries and aren't too intrusive root-wise not get huge.
-
Sounds like she got pushed out due to her being on the anti-tax loop fringe of the party, something c'Hunt wants rid off after that all sold SO well to the public and investors.
Probably going to get more immigration on the QT but with even fewer worker rights.
Could not have happened to a nicer person, but I doubt any of them is going to really invest in the HO immigration system, it is a mess with a huge backlog atm.
But sure, England/Wales get a nice public order bill :/
