    It should not be the case once remain wins people are not allowed to change minds anymore.


    And. Even if the Tories take us out, people will carry on campaigning to go back in. The Lib Dems will become the party of going back in and the people's vote campaign will continue. Old eurosceptics will pass and young Europeans will grow in number.

    Fact is that most people now want it over


    Voting for BJ won't get it over. It just gets this stage over, the next stage will be even worse. Companies are going to be hysterical about how they will be effected by a FTA with the EU and the USA. And hence so will their employees. The withdrawal agreement will seem like a picnic. Just look at the hysteria already around pharmaceuticals.

    it's common sense the grenfell victims should have ignored the firebrigades advice, .

    I have to say I’d have run out of the tower as fast as I could. Anyone know why they were told to stay where they were?

    People running down stairs in a tower block are more likely to trip and hurt themselves & get in the way of firemen.

    They are only party that promised to respect EU referendum result

    What does respecting a result mean though? I reckon I can respect something whilst completely ignoring it. To set your expectations, if you disagree with me then I respect your view but I've already made up my mind.

    .

    Is that the reason? Now I know that, next time I find myself in a burning tower block I’m definitely running out as fast as I can.

    This is why Brexit party should be given a chance. They are only party that promised to respect EU referendum result.
    The leader of the Brexit party is on record saying "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way"

    But by all means, do vote Brexit party. :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Try not to kill anyone else in your panic on the way out.

    They didn't need to run to get out.

    Please tell me you're joking? A referendum every 4-5 years?!

    Ah, so those demanding 2nd ref are not jokers?

    What gets me is, all parties say all this. Invest this, spend this and that. But not one party has the guts to say they'll control immigration.


    I think that is the problem with the NHS. It's not the service, it's the amount of people using it.


    It should be only used by people who are British citizens. Charge tourists and immigrants using it.



    People would have more faith in politicians if they generally looked after citizens, rather than making promises of free stuff.

    Because that's the safest thing to do in a high rise flat with a single stairwell, but didn't take into account the flammable cladding. The flats are essentially insulated concrete boxes and thus the fire wouldn't spread from unit to unit (unless there was flammable cladding), so it's much safer to just close the door and stay put until it's safe.



    If you pile out into the stairwell you'll get in the way of the fire fighters, will be subject to smoke inhalation and likely to get hurt in the stampede.
