    We have a big Island, it's the UK and it's ours the 4 nations who live here belong to it and it belongs to them, each and every member has equal ownership and NO ONE is driving any of us elsewhere, this beautiful land is worth the effort of making it ours!

    but they are, though. Scotland and NI both voted to remain. As did Gibraltar. There appears to be some grounds for that happening.

    I have made it clear I voted remain. I am mad as hell about the result. I am furious with the non voters who could have either changed the decision or at least made a clearer majority.

    I am interested to know what you leavers expect to happen in terms of actual policy that you have been promised.

    And how we deal with the rising tide of xenophobia that is happening and the rise of the far right...
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    'S OK we're nice folks, we'll be able to live alongside 'em even if they don't want to be liberated, we've had 'em for a long old time (and not just as the united kingdom either) the rocks have been there for gazillions of years, we humings is just transitory!!!

    Besides, they can't leave altogether or how are we going to post those Jelly Infants to MAR?

    Don't start to divide us into leavers and remainers VJsMum, what we are is PREPPERS all of us!!! If we fragment then where is the hope for the future? We still have a police force, we still have laws, we still have an army and we are a civilised nation despite the lunatic fringe who are taking advantage of the disruption to be obnoxious. It WILL sort itself out, give us time to draw breath and get our balance back, these xenophobes won't be free to do and say their vicious deeds, there are controls and it will be stopped.

    :D Check this out, from Le Monde;
    Iain Duncan-Smith, ancien ministre du gouvernement Cameron,



    Isn't it just darling? I tried to read Le Soir but they've got a paywall so that wasn't going to happen. Have been reading about various things Brexitish on there but didn't bother with the footie news.

    They haven't described him as ancient.
  • I know!!! I was trying (as usual) to lighten the mood!!!

    Just found a very appropriate little quote

    I have woven a parachute out of everything broken!

    Don't tell me this isn't the time for levity, being able to find something to smile about is so much more restorative than brooding on things I have no control over!

    If anyone reads 'The Slog', he made an interesting point a few months ago: He said that modern English is mostly 12th Century French. Interesting thought eh?

    :D I knew that as well, nuatha, but it did make me laugh a bit nonetheless and I thought I'd share.

  • There is an ongoing incident at Attaturk Airport in Istanbul, they're saying 2 explosions and gunfire in the car park and at least 10 dead. So very sad!
