In or out. That is all that matters to the man on the street.
For this Government all that matters is that they have paved the way out.
The Chinese have a curse. May you live in interesting times.
Fifty years from now this time will be a footnote in some spotty teenagers history book. We haven't acquitted ourselves well.
What are we leaving for our grandchildrens generation? Vastly inflated house prices (my daughter may benefit but by the time she has kids, the money will be long gone).
What is far more worrying and with far longer effects is that we have an underclass that we are pushing further and further under.
Little boys who see nothing wrong with bashing other little boys heads in. Don't, for one moment, imagine it isn't all connected.
The less hope people have, the more savage they become.
Hamish and people like him have no kids, they are of the live now let the next generation pay persuasion.
I have a child, and someday, hopefully, she will have children.

You might have kids but I don't so it's not fair to me nor other's like me to be expected to make the future better for your offspring.
As far as I'm concerned, I want it now - for ME! & that what I'll strive for - NOT YOUR KIDS

I have served as an election officer in the past (hey, the extra cash is handy) and yesterday I received a letter from my local council asking me if I wanted to do it again.
Contacted them today and both these dates were mentioned.
My money is on May.......
I thought we knew when the election is May 6th
But a spokesman for Coral Bookmakers said: "It seems he's given the game away."

Why would anyone want to bet on a date for the election anyway.???? I don't understand - it's not a sporting event and I find the whole idea really chav, crass and cheap.0 -

Like the snow we had recently, like knee deep up here, - I didn't vote for either of them - Labour nor Conservatives - I just put it down to the weather!!!
Is that what you mean?? That there are things that happen outside the control of Government?
