80 years today...Neville Chamberlain announced we were at war with Germany.

Surprised this anniversary hasn't had more coverage

Yes, that really changed lives. My mother at 16 years old in 1939 had won a scholarship to Liverpool College of Art, her first day was meant to be Monday 4th September. Today's snowflakes don't know they're born...
 
The lead up to the referendum was endless. Debates went on, month after month. The Irish border was mentioned. Remainers were free to raise whatever they liked - and did. There were lies, exaggerations etc on both sides, like any general election. It's all imperfect, but the best it could be.
And that's the worrying thing about it all. This is the best it can be!!
 
What’s the bloody point? It will still be fake news to you anyway ... get those blinkers off
Yes it’s only JRM he is only doing what the city are doing anyway. Hope he dies soon

It’s the bigger fish that are aligned to make a killing . France is rubbing its hands in readiness just small initial tariffs across goods not cheese and wine will reap billions and attract more and more shareholders.

It’s bloody going to happen

I want the tax codes of all Brexiteers doubled overnight ... you got it all wrong from day one And still the stubbornness flows
“HOPE HE DIES SOON”
That is a nasty, despicable horrible thing to say about anybody.
You really do show your true colours on here, you are without a doubt a nasty piece of work, and have the morals to prove it.

Yes, my mum was 11 and was evacuated to Devon soon after. She's 91 now. I told her I was walking on Exmoor recently, and staying in Banstaple. Why there?she asked. What's wrong with Barnstaple, I ask. She tries to remember. "Well, it's very dark and there's never enough to eat"

Some memories don't fade!
 
If Boris is forced to go to the EU to ask for an extension to Article 50, don't be surprised when it goes to the vote, if he uses our veto to vote against himself.

Yes, us fat, rich middle-class gammon-faced businessmen types were having a chuckle over this very possibility across the boardroom table only yesterday. :)

It might be more significant and relevant that Nicholas Soames, the Grandson of Winston Churchill has confirmed he is voting against Boris tonight.

Johnson and Raab claim 'progress' in Brexit negotiations <laugh>.

Cummings says they are a 'sham' and CH4 news reports that the negotiating team has been disbanded!

I've seen this point made on the news. It's a nice soundbite, but no more than that imo. Soames is not a bad MP, but doesn't share many of his grandfather's values or attributes.

Chair of LGBT Lib Dems Quits Party Over Phillip Lee
You must log in or register to see images

The chair of the Liberal Democrat LGBT wing has resigned from the party following Phillip Lee’s defection to them. “I thought we had a soul and principles.”
Read her full statement here:
“I’m feeling devastated.
The powers that be have let Philip Lee in.
A homophobe, a xenophobe, and someone who thinks people should be barred from the country if they are ill.
F*ck this.

F*ck this so hard.
I thought the Lib Dems were not a single issue party.
I thought we had a soul and principles.
But apparently as long as you are on the right side on Brexit we’ll take you.

Well, I’m sorry, but no.
It doesn’t matter if we already have others as bad. You don’t make bad things better by adding more bad things. It doesn’t matter that he will increase our numbers in parliament by ONE. He thinks me and people like me are a lower class of human. I will not share a party with him.
I know you only get to do this once. I know I am ripping up almost my entire social life here. I know I am causing a lot of people a lot of organisational difficulties. And I’m sorry for all that. But there are some principles I will not compromise.
Sorry.”

Oh I have a big list.

There are plenty of people I don’t care if they live or die. Some I hope it comes quickly for

That’s my moral code and it’s honest.

Mogg carries a responsibility that he could bring death to innocents indirectly by the power games he is currently playing just one would do it in my moral code. He carries zero sentiment to me greedy lying man he has turned out to be following the current exposure.

Nothing but a pop in a post move on but something tells me you won’t.
