    I’m not usually into fantasy **** either and I only started watching it this year, I’ve skimmed through quite a lot of episodes as some of it is really slow but gotta give credit where it’s due, the fight scenes are some of the best you’ll see in film or TV.

    Vikings is still the best show on TV though.

    When you ask a bunch of so-called "educated" loonies what they
    want, most want "rules for thee and not for me" and any opportunity
    to demonstrate their hatred for their own country, from its citizens
    to his traditions.

    I do not understand why people who want the U.K. to be a leader in the very large trade block that is the E.U. are called traitors that hate their country by the very people following policies that would see our place in tha world reduced

    I do not understand ( *** ) why people who believe the UK can find its
    own better place in global trade, based on the confidence in the UK entrepreneurial/
    scientific/engineering ability/spirit, are derided as morons / racists /
    "believe in unicorns" by the very people whose inabilities would see the above
    never achieved.


    *** Actually, I DO understand.

    It may be (although I don't think that's the case) but it's been the system that we and all other democracies have employed for 100's of years.

    We've fought numerous wars, repealed capital punishment, legalised homosexuality, introduced votes for women, reduced the voting age and governed a country through good and bad with that system.

    Parliamentary democracy may not be very popular at the moment but if it's a choice between that and government by today's popular opinion driven by the basest opinions, then I'm a Roundhead.

    You are claiming that everything I stated is the "system" .
    That is not a "system" I want for myself of for others, wherever/whenever
    they agree with my opinions or not.

    It’s the rich elite leading the plebs about like a bull with a ring through irs nose and telling them ‘this is good for you’

    What they mean, of course, is it’s good for us.

    The Tories even put gay marriage up for a vote, then voted against it.
    They knew what most people wanted, but also wanted to appeal to their ****ty voters.

    Amazing world,isn't it? What with the May delights and the Trump Nazi Party...…..America has gone through over 300 tornado's in 30 days! Middle America flooded.Farmers going bankrupt. What was that about politicians dismissing global warming? They don't care.....it's their grandkids who will likely go through hell!

    And here’s your prize. You’ll be considerably worse off for the foreseeable future.

    Alastair Campbell has just been expelled from the Labour Party.... For publicly supporting a Pro-Remain party in the Euro elections, challenging the fence-sitting ambiguity of Corbyn and the Puppet Master Milne.

    However, apparently publicly supporting an extreme Far Right Brexit Party and sharing platforms with Farage isn't enough to expel a sitting MP (Hoey)

    I wonder why that would be..... <doh>

    Labour is fecked..... Royally. Pretty much as the constituents of Vauxhall have been for the past 20 years!

    Brexit has been the ultimate excuse for many people to release their inner fascist nastiness.
    Politics has been about economics for 70+ years; now it's about nationalism.

    Oh how ironic, you do realise that argument works on both sides don't you?

    I see no irony in it at all, It’s what happening. The likes of Moggy, Johnson, Farage are trying to convince the plebs that their Brexit will be good for them. It won’t!!...

    Works both ways? How so?

    It seems to me that the argument is between Soros Money, Remain and Russian money Leave. Nothing to do with the UK.
