This is a good read

Members of the Tory party have played chess and find themselves in check. The Labour party looks like it's about to divide itself. The Liberals have stepped in and said they would ignore the referendum vote if there's a general election.

So if there's a general election which party will be brave enough to say that it's going to allow the UK to leave the EU?

By all accounts Frogage saw Cameron in Brussels and asked him "what are you doing here?" :D

Farage is a twat but that's funny if true.

The EU aren't helping by telling Britain to get on with it. Yeah, you being bossy like that is one of the reasons people wanted to leave. Besides, there's no one here to pull the plug.

LOL !!!

@Kwacky - great link that, a really interesting point of view. Was chatting about brexit with a guy at work today, and the only thing we could really end the conversation with was the fact that the next could of years are going to be very "interesting" which ever tact we end up taking.

"We are the 48"

Sir, Roula Khalaf has the story roughly right but she’s missed the most injured demographic (“Post-referendum mourning and the millennial vote”, Notebook June 30). It’s us on Facebook posting memes about Little Britain and Pooh and Piglet. We are the 48 — years old as well as per cent.

We have small houses and large mortgages. We went to raves and we stopped fighting at football matches. We got very drunk one night in 1997 then felt betrayed because of Iraq. We like being European and we understand the world is interconnected and complicated. We thought everyone knew that the headlines about Brussels Being Bananas were just jokes. We didn’t realise anyone took The Sun seriously. We can follow an argument and spot a lie. We have friends in other countries and we’re embarrassed. We feel completely disconnected from half our neighbours and felt the need to apologise in person to our Polish friends at the school gate. We’ve explained to our kids that grandad isn’t really a racist and that we’ll still be allowed to go camping in France.

We are lecturers, nurses, systems analysts and engineers. We are the civil service. We run small businesses. We work for large, foreign-owned companies. We aren’t in charge but we are the backbone of the country. We didn’t go to Eton. We are grown-ups. We can’t leave because our kids are at school and our parents are getting old. We wish that we were Scottish, or Irish. We didn’t prepare ourselves for this because we didn’t believe it could possibly happen.

We’d really like an electable opposition. We want a plan B, a climbdown, a compromise. We want common sense to come back into fashion. We are reduced to posting on Facebook because we haven’t worked out what to do yet. We will. We want our country back.

Did someone force Robert to buy his small house and large mortgage??

Robert sounds like a schmuck.

Yeah,,,,not the first time I've heard it...and TBH, it was no different when I had my place...half a mill. for a 1000sq.ft house was taking the piss. But...."location is everything" really was true in that instance, and all houses went for silly money.

Don't really miss it that much...this is the first time I've even thought about it in a year.

This is a very good read from someone well informed to make factual input and not the usual in vogue fictional scaremongering.

Read the truth on what Brexit means for Britain.
