Overall I'd say the debate was a waste of time. It was a terrible, terrible rush, the two hopefuls didn't have the time to expand their thoughts which , if they had been allowed the time to do so, might have made a difference, instead of the 49/51% stalemate. Corbyn's last words, on his gift...

I found this short animation film on a climbing site I use. Gave me a good old chuckle ! https://m.mojevideo.sk/4a6b?fbclid=IwAR3vqEXcMPefN0oxP6sfJg8ONSiq816mEF55TwxzE_3FR1Io_YHNq5EaPU0 A fine effort from students at the Ecole des Nouvelles Images in Avignon.

You and me, both ! Who votes for this "nasty party' ? The huge majority are the over 55's. Those that managed to buy a house when, in real terms, they cost a quarter of what they cost today. Many became scum private land-lords buying to let, pricing even the most modest property well above...

Hmmmmmm Steam Man, full of hot-air ! Better to risk financial ruin than vote for Boris Johnson who has already proved himself to be morally bankrupt.

Another voter with two party tunnel vision. Open your mind and consider voting Lib-Dem. Emmanuel Macron, starting from nothing, offered French voters something new-neither of the left or the right- and they gave him a chance. He's half way through his term and I honestly couldn't claim he's...

Well, when people can't even bother voting we get the result we deserve ( Brexit referendum anyone ?). Boris Johnson is no fool. He'll probably get his Brexit done, with a tiny overall majority and perhaps no more than 35% of the poll, which IMHO is much less of a mandate than the original E.U...

If it goes someway to reassuring you, it is not something I would do myself. However, if I saw someone doing this in a supermarket, I would not comment or seek to inform the shop's staff.

It depends on whom the 'ordure' was aimed at :-) Seriously, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Parliamentary debate under his adjudication and wish him well.

All well and good having a second vote, the problem will be motivating younger voters. As things stand it is the over 55's who are deciding Brexit and will probably decide the outcome of the forthcoming General Election. Take a look at the detailed analysis by YouGov of the 2017 election...

Being poor does not excuse eating and not paying for it in a supermarket, but in this time of extreme poverty, it does explain it. I am not advocating theft, but I can understand it and I'm pretty certain most supermarkets take an understanding position to first time offenders.

Oddly ? :-)

Indeed, if you don't have the means to buy, you don't enter the supermarket, you go instead to the Foodbank. Even worse, taking young children with you, giving them the impression that everything on show is available to all. People should know their place in the big scheme of things, after...

Like many others, Brexit has rekindled my interest in politics. Some of the debating in the Commons has been gripping and despite the fact that Rees-Mogg represents all that I detest about a so called British elite, many of his interventions have been poetic and a pleasure to hear.

In your dreams ! I think the protest pro-leaving "working class" vote will largely go to the Brexit Party, depriving Boris of a huge chunk of seats he needs for a majority of any size. His deplorable attitude to Scotland will see his party all but wiped out there , again a massive chunk that he...

Yes, chosen not simply as a supply of cheap labour that keeps wages low.

No need for migration if you already enjoy the same wages, working conditions and standard of living throughout the E.U.

I do not deny that the UK makes a net contribution to E.U funding. I do not say it will not be missed but I do dispute that the amount ( while obviously significant) is a black-hole compared to the economy of the UK. The E.U is not going to come to a halt. Priorities will have to found. Abuse...

One of the biggest bones of contention I have with the majority of Leavers is their failure to see the bigger picture of membership of the E.U. The U.K's net contribution to E.U funding helps newer and weaker members' economies expand, which, in the long run will allow harmonization of social...

There is a great pub just minutes from Burscough Bridge station - The Hop Vine. They brew their own ales and serve excellent food. You might be glad of the wait !

At least contributing to a discussion on-line has some creativity. All many people do is watch TV (mind-numbing soaps) and 'go round the shops'. With this in mind, I'll start a new thread on................supermarkets !
