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....

I do take your points, Hils, and which are very good ones. But they don't necessarily lead to the conclusions you make.

eg. Better not make any movies with sophisticated plots then, eh? Because nobody is ever going to be able to understand them. That is so 'not so'.

If you regard JRM's personal views in a way which makes him a quite 'quirky' kind of a guy, then you begin to find out from what he has to say, that what he does have and in spades, is a very charismatic and likeable personality. He is also very brave and strong in his personal beliefs and that's what we want our political leaders to have. Most people will allow him the pleasure to have whatever personal beliefs he wants - so long as he doesn't want to ram them down the throats of others. He is a political giant par excellence, too.

The biggest question to ask, is, "Does he have the brain power, oratory skill and political strength to lead the government?"

A growing section of the whole political and domestic community are definitely being won over as fans, and in droves, and they would reply to that question with a resounding, "Yes."

He is a very, very 'with it' guy. And he relishes political debate and usually wins you, the observer, over with his simple take on things.

With his usual political skill and charismatic wit, here he is hosting a spot on LBC radio:

Hang them all!

TM must feel like a fly-half after a scrum has collapsed on her.

A bit like the UK will feel after 27 other members falling on it with the well quoted "NO".

Corbyn's getting tetchy, threatening the media now or rather some of them

Theresa May accused of 'Brexit betrayal' as she asks EU to consider longer transition period



By James Crisp, Brussels correspondent

Theresa May was accused of "Brexit betrayal" by Ukip on Wendnesday after she asked the European Union to consider a longer transition period.

EU freedom of movement and the supremacy of European judges over British courts could drag on even longer after Brexit, following the UK's request.

But Gerard Batten, a Ukip MEP and the party's interim leader, said: “This is Brexit betrayal at its contemptible worst. It’s time for May to go and for a genuine Brexiteer to step up for role of Prime Minister.

"I’ve warned that closet Remainers such as May will delay and impede Brexit in the hope of later overturning the democratic wishes of the people later. This is barefaced treachery and cannot be allowed...

More chance of UK adopting the Euro than leaving EU with the current bunch in tow.

They should have put that letter on the internet before they sent it then another 17 million plus would have signed it.

What's Corby Grizzlies about now George ?

He likes the concept of a free press, Dil, so long as The Currant Bun only say nice things about him and don't call for him to be executed for treason. He sent four papers a nice video of himself, in which he said something like 'Come the Day of the Revolution...'

:o)

Lol , so come the day of the revolution everything else is going to be free according to the loony except the press.

That guy is comedy gold.

Dil, in addition to the Currant Bun he also sent the video along with his threats to The Mail; Telegraph and The Express

I'm doing some debating at the mo' and wondering if I should vote for Corbyn and Co and let all these crappy kids pick up the eventual bill.

After all, Gordon Brown did get me my IceSave money back after the Icelandic banks went tits up. Maybe I owe him one?

Thinks......??? Will JRM do that for me if ever the need arises? Hmmm?

399 days to go Fred

Will you last that long, or will the suspense kill you?

What suspense ?

We're leaving so get over it.

EU meeting today to discuss the 10%+ hole in their budget when we leave. Givers don't want to give anymore and takers don't want to take any less.

Personally I no longer give two monkeys what they decide.

Happy days.

Max,

Watch it, son!

You have taken away my raison d'être.

Besides, it is not a fair appraisal of assessment of that united bunch of " s".
