Is that a fact set in stone like the £350m a week for the NHS? It's a quote, from the person who, at present, is ultimately in charge of whether they get one or not. Not that anyone claimed what you said was a fact, never mind setting it in stone.

The 'remainers' including me were equally uninspired by the dreadful 'remain' campaign. It was a shock to find that the PM and his fellow threateners knew nothing about the EU that's why they are always bashing Europe. It would have been especially helpful if Ms.Merkel and Mr.Hollande had a platform as at least we would have some understanding of the EU position, after all we have been joined for 43 years. Forget about 51 - 49 stick it in the bin we have a housing crisis.

A lot of debate here about Scotland but why? If they want the EU, independence - a socially just society of their own and they vote for it then surely we should let them go? Its down to them whether they win or fail but they are away from Westminster rule - that's got be welcome.

It's worth listening to some of his rally speeches towards the end of the campaign, Nick. They didn't get any coverage in our media (or America's, for that matter). Edited by Rubin (11 Nov 2016 7.38pm) Scratch beneath of the campaign veneer of muslimsv/misogyny/Mexico wand there's a lot of comparisons with Bernie Sanders.

It's a shame that Sanders ended up endorsing Clinton, considering she got a lot of her funding from Wall Street, who he claimed he was going stand up to. The democratic 'anti-establishment' candidate ended up backing the democratic candidate who epitomised the establishment. This short video is worth watching for a bit of background on him: There's also the stealing of the candidacy by the DNC, yet he still carried on backing her. [Link]

I'm for Corbyn, in the sense that I think he's true to his beliefs. The one thing that disappointed me about him, is him backing down over his anti-EU stance, which he'd held his whole political career up until he became the Labour leader. On a side note, I also don't trust May at all, purely due to her appointing Woolf and Sloss to run the child sex abuse enquiry, seeing as they both had links to those who were going to be investigated. It means to me that she is either incompetent or complicit in an attempted cover-up, the latter being the most likely.

Surely Trump initially represents another anti-establishment vote with the electorate simply fed up of the same old, not helped by Clinton's evident murky past that would make HER an electoral liability in any case. The biggest, most screamingly obvious complaint from the rest of the world is that a country that has at least 250m population can be at best whittled down to these two plebeians to run for President - talk about the ultimate dumbing down?
