    Have to be honest BT, I voted leave, immigration was not on my radar, but I did not expect this in all honesty.

    immigration was a large part of the Leave campaign (I am not saying that people are racist).

    I would therefore imagine that senior leaders of that campaign would not be too pleased.

    Yes saw that. Yvette Fielding for me. Though I think this is going together very messy, esp as Corbyn has the unions backing.

    Both/All parties need to get themselves in a big room, have a scrap and then pull themselves together. Quickly.

    Yep, that'll stop the ghosts coming to haunt us! <laugh>

    Hopefully she'll have a team ready that she prepared earlier

    Just a reminder that when the Remain camp suggested this would happen they were rounded on by the Leave campaign as scaremongering.

    I think you meant Yvette Cooper. Yvette Filelding presented Blue Peter and Ghost Hunters or whatever it was called on the television :)

    No. You funny! :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I think you should claim you meant that and it is an excellent bit of lighthearted humour amongst the tension.

    You are absolutely right. I can sleep well at night knowing our club is in safe hands. Just like a politician make many difficult decisions in the best interest of the country, les has many to make in the best interest of our club. In my opinion he gets most calls right. I wish politicians could do the same.

    Very true.........but on this then you think the French are correct? Just because someone thinks they will carry out their threat does not make it right, I'm sure you will agree.

    - Border control relocated to England
    - Economically worse off country
    - More expensive holidays
    - Freedom of Labour / Movement likely unaffected
    - Unelected PM to take a seat

    Why did people vote leave again?
