    Remember the establishment at Westminster (ie Cameron) said that if he could not get a good deal from the EU he would recommend people to vote leave … the EU gave him diddly squit and yet he still recommended a remain vote …. the Government spent millions on fake news about a leave vote yet this was not counted (as I understand it) by the electoral commission as spend by the remain side for some reason?

    You'd have to have a transferable vote, so that the lowest vote gets eliminated, and their vote goes to their second choice, until one of the options has over 50%. I'd have a second referendum with the options of remain, no deal and withdrawal agreement, with transferable second vote, and whichever wins could get implemented immediately.

    It was your Farage post.

    Back on topic, I saw a good programme earlier in the week; Chernobyl.
    All those Soviet technicians wandering around getting irradiated. Very entertaining comrades. Looking forward to the next part.

    Have I Got News For You pulled tonight because Heidi Allen's appearance raised fears of appearing impartial, 24 hours after Nigel's appearance on QT.

    Big difference - one is a factual news programme, One is a light entertainment programme - although knowing Heidi, the latter definitely suits her better. Play School next.

    He's an easy target. And dumb politically incorrect jokes are now higher on their list of priorities than stabbings, rapes etc.

    If a prosecution looks likely, Plod will presumably be asking Harry and Meghan to hand over their mobile phones, in case there is exonerating evidence on them.

    It’s an obscene waste of police resources.

    Antiques Roadshow is a must watch on a Sunday evening.

    It’s full of civilised English people from the Shires (my type of folk), parading their inherited wealth.

    Best of all, the No.1 MILF bar none on British TV gets to present it, hiding her delightful cleavage behind Laura Ashley summer frocks.

    Watch Free Solo on C4 on Thursday at 9pm. But have a stiff drink at hand.

    Currently watching The Big Match Revisited on BT Sport.

    This is a fantastic series showing when football was played by real men.

    Unsegregated grounds, muddy pitches, and shocking football if the truth be known!

    The biggest downside was that it was hard to see the action for kids. But there was real empathy between fans and players, and fans supported their local team.

    Anyone else watching Chernobyl? Utterly exhilarating TV. And a little terrifying.

    Very good. More than a bit bleak, but fascinating all the same.
    That guy who was in charge of the reactor control room during the flashback scenes in episode 5. He wasn't fit to run an electric kettle, let alone a power station. And his boss was no better. It's a minor miracle there was only one bad nuclear disaster over there in the last four decades.

    i was always curious about chernobyl before the show. the show is great. shame it's only 5 episodes. have a look on google for "chernobyl by drone". the place is exactly how it was left when it was evacuated, just with a touch of nature thrown in.
