    Agreed, if something like that isn't investigated properly for concerns about being PC, that's definitely a problem. But what's Brexit or sovereignty going to do about it? Most child abuse is carried out by friends & family, or white men.

    Ahem.

    Brexit and Ukip voters are less likely to change their underpants every day, poll finds.

    It found 84% of people change their pants or knickers every day.

    But that figure rises to 89% for those who voted Remain - and falls to 81% for those who voted leave.
    If the June 23rd BREXIT referendum had been restricted to those who changed their underpants/knickers every day LEAVE would have lost

    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Nonsense posted using larger fonts is still nonsense.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    If it wasn't based on data out of date, it'd be true.

    The Italian constitutional referendum (based on a backdrop of trying to sidestep EU law) and the outcome of the Austrian election will be your first real glimpse at attitudes towards the EU in other countries.

    I'm starting to see a scenario were Le Pen can win. Fillon is extremely right wing. He wants to ban gays adopting kids, get rid of 500,000 public sector jobs, raise the retirement age from 60 to 65 and raise the working week from 35 hours to 39. I'm not sure socialists will turn out to vote for him and this is required in the French system to beat Front National.

    So Le Pen wins, there is a referendum - the French are more euro-sceptic than the Brits - they vote Leave the EU and the Euro- oh merde!

    Fillon barely qualifies as right wing and if elected will dump his policies in a heartbeat. His only objective and that of his supporters is to prevent the election of Le Pen.

    For me, the current EU arrangement exposes all the most obvious weaknesses with the UK government.

    Yes. We could build more houses; more schools; more hospitals. But, consistently, across all flavour of recent governments, we have failed to do so. We will fail even more in the future I am convinced.

    It's still going on. The NHS complains daily about rising demand pressures.

    And yet, we are still increasing the numbers in UK by 300K a year.

    At what point do we realise that we don't have the infrastructure ambitions to match another 3 million people every decade?

    Poland has had several million workers move abroad (at least) in just over a decade, and yet the EU pumps hundreds of billions of Euros in to Poland.

    I struggle to understand the logic here. Shouldn't EU investment follow where the workers go?

    All you are doing is swapping one set of bureaucrats for another. I have less in common with the set of bureaucrats from within the UK....than I do with the Eurocrats. At least the Eurocrats were more objective and had a wider vision. Our Bureaucrats are small minded little Englanders....the fact that they are British means nada!

    I've being thinking for a while that you seem to dislike English people.....particularly white English people...? I'm guessing this is because you are Welsh.

    I actually think you are probably racist tbh.... :-D
