Well there won't be any if everyone is as down beat as you are about it Purwell, we need to be a bit more positive and confident to make it work. I am hoping once we are out we can get this country back together to move forward, it's going to be a question of are we all willing to try or if people want to give up then get out of the way and let the young people who do have vision and confidence get a chance.

Perhaps not only a minimum age for voting should be applied, but a maximum age too.

It doesn't matter how cheerful and motivated we are, we won't be doing zilch without trade agreements. By the time they are agreed the young people will not be so young any more.

It is nothing personal, I promise. The problem is that I seem to have involved myself in rather more threads than usual and am trying to cut down on what I consider to be things that I earlier decided to participate in.

Whereas I have been particularly interested in discussions on politics and, specifically the EU and Brexit, many of these discussions have become boringly repetitive especially the predictable contributions from certain members.

I apologise if this statement is seen by some as offensive. No personal offence is intended.

Yes over ten posts a day on one single subject by a single poster
Plus over two per day from the shadow.
Not a single post from either on any other topic.
