Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

The cockroaches remind me of a meal I had at the house of a mine agent in Rajasthan. Lovely couple with very smart and intelligent children. During my meal, which was the usual rice and curry, I felt that special texture in my mouth. I removed it as discreetly as I could and discovered it was a large cockroach. I sifted through the rest of the curry with my fork and found a couple more. I had read in the Air India flight magazine that it was not unusual for roaches to be eaten so didn't know if they were in there by design or accident. I decided to stay quiet and just eat the rice and no second helpings thank you. I have probably eaten worse without knowing.

i wouldn't recommend eating them unless perhaps deep fried to purge them of the likely lurking lurgies

Here we go again (or not)
Dr Andrew Watt, a retired Scottish doctor, said Ms May’s notification to the head of the European Council Donald Tusk of the UK’s intention to leave the EU on 29 March is void because the country never officially decided to leave the union.
He argued last year’s EU referendum was not a legally binding decision but according to Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, member states have to decide to leave the EU in accordance with constitutional requirements before notifying Brussels of their intention.
Dr Watt said the UK never took the constitutional decision to leave the EU, making unlawful any later notice of withdrawal.

Why isn't the EU telling us that we can't do what we are doing , surely they would stick that up our noses wouldn't they .

I'm sure there are lots of whatsnots denying the obvious, including doctors and nurses. Last time I looked the Brexit bill had been approved by the Commons and HOL and signed off by the Queen.

TORY MAJORITY
interesting to note from the IG spread that despite some recent slippage, the conservatives are still perceived as getting a majority of 55/60 seats
my own view is that it'll be closer to 40, though that should suffice for a sufficiently strong hand when negotiating in brussels

Corbyn has been sweet talking the electorate and bribing students. Goodie bags for all. One Labour government maxed out its credit card, the incoming Conservativ substantially paid it down, now Corbyn wants to max it out again.

On the face of it, the bookies have been getting it wrong, altho I suspect the predictions from them have been designed to suit their book rather than any far reaching insight.
My problem with a big tory win is Treesa, as I don't trust her.

I was thinking maybe wrongly that as we voted out , we should have a new thread on here going into negotiations and such , hopefully with the Cons .

why are you so naive to think that leaving EU could ever be simple, even if one truly wanted it to be

I still think TM will win the forthcoming election but it's the sort of time when you get polls all over the place...it happens all the time just before the final sprint...ftse is far too high...and the pound far too low so a correction both ways is overdue....and probably crude is undervalued....

Dysfunctional' EU has plunged into existential crisis, George Soros warns
Not a great fan of George Soros but his article in the DT makes a lot of sense in my book. But will the EU heed? Doubt it because Germany has to be the first to change its ways and it's not in its nature.

Let's be fair ....a lot of Europeans are envious of the the UK getting a good deal out of Brexit...and I think we will....

If you consider taking your begging bowls to Brussels.
A good deal, perfect deal. (Horse Sh. in a "strong and stable". strikes me to having the smell of the stables which needs cleaning out.)

But that's the problem the EU face Fred , we aren't begging for anything so unless they want to play fair then they can sod off.
It's the EU begging us for alimony not the other way round and remember no freedom of movement was in the Labour manifesto too so over 80% voted at the election for a party that couldn't be part of the single Union.
