I worked at the end of the Waterloo & City line for more years than I care to remember now I've discovered 'life'

This should frighten all supporters of Brexit, but probably delight remainers. Look in to the future and quail. https://www.dianejamesmep.com/contact-diane/ Last edited by bauble; 7 Mar 2019 at 16:20. |

The fear factor is used by both side of the debate, but my only fear is that we won't leave at all. That terrifies me. |

Yes, we have to leave - to show other countries that it's possible and to save society and our freedoms for the following generations. |

Add in the cashless society meaning that buying anything can provide a track of where you are and what you buy (for 'security reasons' of course), everything electric with smart meters providing control over whether you can put you lights on, heat your abode or cook a meal and even travel somewhere should the 'authorities' decide they don't want you to be able to travel other than on foot. Still, we all have mobile phones that already do that tracking, right? And they are 'good', right? So obviously tracking is a good thing, right? And helps to keep good people safe whilst tracking bad people, right? You'll even be 'safe' if your phone battery dies - the cameras will spot your face.

The lack of democracy in the EU seems not to matter, as long as they can continue as before, to me at my age it does not truly matter, but I believe in this country, and would want future generations to enjoy the freedoms I have had. OK! It is not total freedom, but at least I have some control over the governance of the UK, but none over the EU, It is no one's interest have a no deal Brexit, but the only way to get a 'deal' is to leave without one. A paradox. Remove the blindfold, see the future. |

Democracy ... a term much bandied around by hard core Brexiters(along with (sonorous voice) controlling borders and the rest of the nationalistic rhetoric) - wonder what the voting record is of many of those who professed such concern? Because turnout for MEP elections was often below 40%, Police Commissioner often below 20% and local elections in the 30% region for many areas

I've seen and heard all of the blather in the press (on the TV & radio) and really don't know what to believe. I honestly visit this thread whenever I realise it's been updated so I can find out what's really happening and to help myself decide what I think is the best outcome for us.
What a great community this is on Ten Tenths, International crosswords on Delta's Tea Break and informed political information on here |

But let's not forget that there has also been a GE where again the turn out was larger than normal and the majority voted for parties who promoted leave. Where it is all falling down is because the remain side have ignored democracy and spent enormous sums and energy trying to reverse a democratic vote. |

As he is on the left I doubt it will make much difference, but our 'democratically elected' representatives should not go unchallenged when deciding to go against the 'will of the people'. I have registered my interest in the Brexit Party and made a small donation. Over 17 million people voted to leave, and some 600 (?) odd MP's are refusing to accept their decision. Should the 'Leavers' mobilise then Parliament itself is in grave danger. On all of the talk shows, TV debates, and similar forums the Leavers have been extremely passionate, and straight forward. Leave is what they voted for and that is what the want and expect. Failure in that will cause a lot of anger. A shame all of the remainers can't be deported to France or Germany, or better still Greece. |

It seems that some think the QE 'stimulus' for the Euro zone economy ended prematurely.

You can watch what you like, it's a free country. That's another democratic right you have. See, it's really easy.

I'm still not absolutely certain if anyone has actually enunciated the reasons for staying in the EU. Simply regurgitating free movement of goods and services and people, is the reason why it doesn't work hence the leave vote. As to suggesting the control of borders is either racist or xenophobic, I despair. Try to work anywhere in the world outside of the EU and you have to be invited. There has to be a job for you and you have to be qualified for that job. But as with me you can get that job and work in those locations. I don't understand why that presents a problem to people. |

Germany offers a good economy, and welcomes all manner of people making for a truly multicultural experience. I am sure you will receive a warm welcome wherever you choose, the rest of us will just struggle along in the barren wasteland that the UK will become after March 29th. You will be well out of it. |

But he only turned the taps off a couple of months ago. Surely a decent, well considered grace period should be at least 6 months, preferably a year. I read elsewhere predictions of some serious fatbergs interfacing with large and powerful rotating devices most likely some time this year. If so things could get distinctly interesting rather quickly. Brexit might become a rather forgotten sideshow with none of the directly and solely Brexit related issue mattering a damn. |
