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....

BREAKING NHS NEWS
JEREMY Hunt has announced that the national health service (NHS) is to be replaced by time, which heals all wounds at no cost to the taxpayer.
The health minister’s new scheme to beat the NHS crisis is being trialled in Northern constituencies and early projections suggest it will save the government billions.
He said: “You don’t need disinfectant, sterile gauze, a qualified nursing team and an expensive consultant.
"All you need is time.
“This traditional common-sense approach, relied on for Britons for the centuries before we joined the EU, will soon replace our malfunctioning NHS entirely.
Though of course private healthcare will still be available.
“After all, not only does time heal all wounds, time is also a great healer.
We’ve been foolish to try and compete.”
Dr Helen Archer, who works in a Birmingham A&E department, said: “Certainly it is true that after a 12 to 18 hour wait, up to 40 per cent of patients no longer require medical attention.
“However, there is a downside.”

Jimbo,
I realise that you're not the brightest bulb in the box, and I've tried thus far to make allowances for that, but at what point have I ever said that I voted remain, or that I am a 'Remoaner'? I believe the only thing I've ever said on this thread is that Brexit doesn't affect me, and that my husband and I allowed our children to vote for us by proxy. Are you that paranoid that anybody who offers an opposing view has to be labelled a 'Remoaner' now?
Maybe you could also enlighten me as what it is exactly that I'm supposed to have been wrong about and getting over. And, perhaps more saliently, what exactly is it that you think you're right about?

hilary i'm bright enough thanks and you just showed your hand as someone who likes to insult people who don't agree with you.
You are in my mind wrong on a lot of your statements about Brexit ,you think i am wrong, that's fine to disagree ,don't sit on your high horse and insult people .

Jimbo,
If you were that bright, you'd have understood what playing Devil's Advocate meant!

Don't take it to heart Jim. There is always someone worse off than you. Imagine what Hilary's husband has to put up with if he crosses her. I am reliably informed that Mountain Rescue have tied a bell to his parka after he tried several times to end it all by walking out in a blizzard. He is known locally as the Titus Oates of the Tyrrol.

Iturama,
My husband is less tolerant of fools than I am. And are you aware that the Tyrol straddles Italy and Austria?

Read the article , then get to this bit ................
The YouGov poll – of 813 people – also found a narrow lead to remain in the EU, should a further referendum be staged, of 44 per cent to 41 per cent.........................
813 people !! where did they poll them ? London ? i bet it wasn't scunthorpe or Boston or a group of fishermen on the East Coast ,how can a poll of 813 people represent the British public far and wide anyway.

Look at who posted that article - Rob Merrick. Calls himself a self-exiled Welshman and citizen of Europe. No agenda there then.
Retweeted "Centrist bastards threatening to set up their own party thereby endangering Jeremy's chances of becoming Prime Minister should just fuck off and stay in the Labour Party". An example of the clear thinking of Momentum. Almost Churchillian in its prose.

Hungary's Viktor Orbán secures another term with resounding win
Orbán and his Fidesz party projected to take 133 seats with 93% of votes counted, after a heavily anti-migration campaign
Shaun Walker in Budapest
Sun 8 Apr 2018 23.55 BST
Hungary’s anti-migration prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has secured a third consecutive term in office after his Fidesz party won a resounding victory in parliamentary elections on Sunday.
After running a campaign almost exclusively focused on the apparent threat posed by migration, Orbán’s Fidesz will have a majority in parliament and may even regain a two-thirds “supermajority” which allows constitutional changes.
With around 93% of votes counted, Fidesz was projected to take 133 of the parliament’s 199 seats, the minimum required for the supermajority.
Orbán appeared shortly before midnight to claim victory in front of a cheering crowd outside the Fidesz election headquarters on the Danube in Budapest.
“We won,” Orbán said. “We gave ourselves a chance to protect Hungary.”
Second place in the vote went to Jobbik, the far-right party that has attempted to rebrand itself as an anti-corruption centrist force. The party is set to win just 26 seats, and its leader, Gábor Vona, said he would resign.

the election result in hungary is quite disturbing, as the overwhelming winner for the 3rd time is viktor orban from the pretty (ugly) far right with the distant 2nd-placed party being descendants of the genghis khan democratic party
orban erected a monument in 2014 which says much about his party's political views, as outlined below
Critics of the monument – which depicts Hungary as the Archangel Gabriel being attacked by a German imperial eagle – say it absolves the Hungarian state and Hungarians of their active role in sending some 450,000 Jews to their deaths during the occupation.
