Polling stations may be open 7-10, but if you work that window is much reduced.
If you can't afford bus fare to get there, that's a problem.
If it's too wet to walk it, that's a problem.
If your kids are unwell, that's a problem.

Too wet to walk. Good grief. No further comment required in response. Your attitude speaks volumes.

I actually think Brexit will lead to some challenging times.

Ultimately, it will make us stronger and hopefully let us break away from this consumption culture. This is just IMO.

Anyway, interesting times lie ahead.

A reduction in consumer culture because we're too poor to consume? Or has some other shift happened?

No, the referendum did that; proved that the majority supports Brexit.

Nice try. I don't have the patience to go through your posts on a phone to highlight another example of hypocrisy and have you shift goal posts.

None of that's to do with any generation having it easier; except when it comes to voting the pensioner class has less roadblocks.


You're right though; everyone should have been voting and I'm never happy with those that could have voted, but didn't. I've more sympathy with those that couldn't for some reason.

If it's wet it a problem that takes the biscuit, as I said they are excuses and week ones at that.

No?
You're trying very hard but sadly missing the point too often, see the responses above in red.
In fact so many of the responses posted by both yourself and your sock puppets are very much akin to a scenario whereby you would like a pay rise - but begin your request by calling your boss stupid and then swear repeatedly.

As such these persistent "doom and gloom" attempts are starting to look more than a little ridiculous.

If employment is really so low, why are wages still going up behind inflation? Why are we still seeing unhappy staff or companies with illegal pay practises? Why are p people being made to work in pound land for free?

Beyond the fabricated 5% figure; why are we seeing no signs of this minimal unemployment?

Emmeline Pankhurst would be so proud.

Never heard of postal votes? Do keep up.

Again your concern from people is overwhelming. Would you walk a mile or 2 I'm torrential rain with a young baby?

Now you'll say "but pensioners can make it in the same conditions" but they are less likely to have to walk.

I'm not talking about a bit of drizzle. But I'm sure you know that.

Yup, pretty useful if you have the foresight to register.

Can we get back to the topic rather than this pedantry?
