    Brexit will create a Britain that is nastier, smaller, less honest, and more selfish.....

    .....I think we can see that clearly now.

    VOTE REMAIN.

    The vote actually changes nothing. As for the next few years the UK remains on the same track. Like the Scottish independence issue. What will be left behind is extreme views on both sides of the fence. Which will result in the UK continuing to be a nastier, smaller, less honest, and more selfish place to live. As without any doubt people have become far ruder , less law abiding and lazier . Austerity has some way to go as well.

    The husband of MP Jo Cox has urged people to "fight against the hatred that killed her" in the wake of her death.
    Where do you think this hatred is coming from mrginge?.......perhaps there's a clue in his shout of .....'Put Britain First' as he stabbed, kicked her then shot her in the face as she was lying on the ground....'Put Britain First'.......who else is saying that? Look at the causes she was fighting for......look at her husband's views. There is no doubt she was murdered because of her views. It's not point scoring.......... it's real life!

    Why you are such a downer? You aren't Welsh are you? The world is a beautiful place this afternoon, the vet just called to say that my dog has just came to from the anesthetic, and all is well.

    Just an observation. A recent trip to the Middle East left me in no doubt how long history lingers, and grudges held. The UK isn't held is as high esteem as one imagines.

    I'm gutted being Welsh but..... yesterday's events put that in context! Good to hear about your Lab! I have three elderly dachsies....the eldest is 17! I think the world of her....every day of her still having reasonable health is a blessing:)

    I see you are being very fair and avoiding blaming people by association:
    it's good you pointed out the the greater number of hatred inspired deaths in the UK have been
    by the IRA
    by Muslims

    what point exactly are you trying to make?

    Not sure how that informs you Britain will continue to get nastier, smaller, less honest, ruder, lazier and less law abiding.

    Thanks for the insight though - hope you had a nice trip.

    Only banter, Wales have an excellent chance of progressing, even if they lose to Russia they might still go through as a better 3rd placed team, but lets hope that it doesn't come to that.

    17 is a great age to reach, good to hear that she still fit and healthy. My Lab is only 5.5, so hopefully he has many happy years left. I am retiring this December so he is going to get even more walks than he is used to soon. After dropping him off at the vets this morning I was missing him within a few minutes, the house is too empty without him.
