RB, mate, stop digging.

I wish I could have some of what you write for my garden. It might help my roses to grow.

Home Secretary Priti Patel: I want criminals to feel terror

What an idiot...... criminals don't fear the police.... if they fear anything it's the punishment.

As the solving crime rate is only 1 in 10..... and many crimes are not investigated.... where will the fear factor come from?..... scary costumes?.... masks?.... sharp points on their helmets?

At least we can focus on some football from now on!

And regardless of our views, at the end of the day we all want what we think is best for our country.

Hopefully the footie will give us all a bit of respite and something positive to concentrate on.

I am still no wiser then. I was thinking more of improved living standards and jobs.

The problem with your assertion is that whatever type of Brexit he produces, living standards for everyone will be lower!  So if that's what the majority wants, democracy decress surely that they should have it?  Only goes to show the ridiculousness of the idea of a binary vote referendum on such a complex subject!!!

He's got interesting backers.

It's just so blatant, the disaster capitalist endgame.

Touch and go - his mob have just lost a seat in a by-election.

Highly complex, 4 runners in a race designed for 2. Tactical voting the key factor, Brexit with or against Tories, Libs with anybody. Hit squads in remain and leave marginals, electronic media versus foot soldiers.

Which is what some of us said in February 2016.

This Dominic Cummings bloke who is effectively running the country through Johnson at the moment.  Who elected him?  Or is he one of these unelected bureaucrats that the Brexiteers get so hot under the collar about?

I was under the impression that a PM could invite anyone they deem capable to assist the government..... they don't need electing.... as Labour has done in the past I think..... they don't make laws to impose on anyone, that's the job of the elected..... could be wrong of course.

But he's "unelected" Geo.  That's a complete anathema to the brexiteers.  And he is throwing his weight about telling the elected officials what to do.

I suspect it's unelected law/rule makers some might object to..... as unelected he can't..... I don't doubt he's a bossy ass who will eventually screw it up..... I've found that with bossy asses a swift kick in the nuts calms them down..... I'm sure someone will oblige..... not physically but probably verbally.
