Not a good idea Gaffer!! I ended up having mahoosive arguments with my parents over brexshit. We now agree to just not discuss it, otherwise it would end in tears, although when they moan about the state of the country....I can't help but gloat a little and just say....it's what you voted for!!

Thanks for tip off Spanish, tho several Brexiteer friends have changed their minds! F...ng disaster it has been.

Brexit is the best thing that has happened in the last 30 years all we need to do now is kick out all the illegals.
 
I am also a conservative supporter but voted remain. Brexit has been a disaster - if the vote was redone now, would be a landslide for going into Europe. No idea how I’m going to vote this time. Conservatives have been terrible. Keir Starmer has no policies other than to left the tories self-destruct (which they take a gold medal in doing). 1 thing I would like to see change is this. If the Prime minister becomes too unwell to lead, the deputy takes over - no problem with that. However, if their own party votes them out as leader while in power, that should automatically trigger a general election. Tories have done it 3x (I think - could be 4) in recent history and labour also did it with Blair to Brown. Should not be allowed. Politics over, back to ITFC

That would leave us with a presidential system, not a parliamentary one. Nobody would trigger a no confidence vote if they thought they might automatically lose their seat.
 
Deciding between conservatives and labour is just choosing what kinda **** you want in your sandwich.

Ok I will bite having been in the sticks for the last 6 days with hardly any phone signal.

What are the benefits of Brexit that we are now enjoying JWM ? Honest question, not looking for an argument just a list of what has improved.

Well, now that we don’t have to follow European law and the government doesn’t have any accountability, there are huge quantities of **** being poured into our rivers and seasides, by private water companies who are hiking prices.

We live by a stream, once a beautiful chalk stream, alive with fish and plants, now a sewer for much of the time!

I'm far more worried about Labour's TAX and vandalism of the Education sector.

Ah now something we can agree on. Privately run and free schools are a blight aren’t they? That said, better to have any school building than no school building at all, which is how the Tories have left many schools.
 
Under Labour only the richest will benefit and poorer families will be priced out of the chance for a decent private education. Already we have seen applications to private schools drop by over 3,000 on last year in anticipation of Labour's VAT raid on private schools. This will mean that more and more kids will have to be educated in the State sector which is bursting at seams already. I sent my kids to private schools over a decade ago and I scrimped and saved for them to go and they have both gone on to University and into good careers, Shame this aspirational opportunity will no longer be available if Labour have their way,

That's not answering the Brexit question JWM.
