I wouldn't. And that's my point. I't 50:50, or as good as. The people next door, or even a family member in the next room may not agree. And therefore tact is the key.

When I refer to London, I am referring, as you well know, to the elite establishment. our present motley crew of clowns in Parliament
Parliament is made up of members from all corners of the Isles, as you well know.

I think you've got the wrong thread. This one's about

Well said.

I, too, remember the disclosures of bribery and corruption and that the EU hadn't had its accounts signed off.

That is one of the reasons I want to leave. That, and the fact that I cannot abide this country being taken over by foreign powers: something that we have resisted for a thousand years.

Once we are free to do so again, we can arrange and agree trading partners, just as we have done for centuries. The EEC worked well in that respect too but, as we all know, became a corrupt political power.

We have always had trading standards for as long as I remember. In fact, our standards have been exemplary throughout the world long before the EU appeared.

Poorer states can look after themselves. We already pay through the nose for foreign aid. Again, as everyone knows, what is paid to whom in foreign aid is also corrupt and very poorly organised. As for European states, we can still make alliances with respect to trade that can be of mutual benefit to both them and us.

What we don't need is a dictatorial political organisation to tell us what we may and may not do. We have always been well able to make our own decisions, at least until our current crop of inept politicians appeared.

I'm afraid I can't imagine what that word might be. I know lots of ladies' private parts, but none of them begin with C. Cli......?, er, no, that has more than five letters.

On the other hand, I too feel sufficiently annoyed with our present government - even JRM who now appears to have done a volte face - that I have also considered voting for Compo and the Loony Party just to show them, and the remoaners, what I think of them, and damn the consequences.

That's brilliant, and could work.

The only problem is how his constituents voted regarding Brexit. If they are pro-EU they will probably vote him back in again.

Perhaps when there are riots and a revolution? A great deal could then change for the better.

Well said buddy - agree entirely.
