It is a FACT that the cry babies can't accept a democratic vote. I assume the same applies to the tory euro sceptics that forced the referendum who could never accept the result of the first referendum in 75.

Indeed and it was some 17 Mill who voted to leave. 17 million out of a total population of about 60 million and that's democracy?

But when I crack a joke you jump down my throat all indignant and tell me I should hang my head in shame?

You seem to have a problem understanding rules. I had to wait until I was 18 and never complained once.

There was an 48 hours extra to register and your age group still only had a 35% turnout.

Not if they were UK citizens and hadn't lived overseas for more than 15 years. I think people who have lived here for more than 5 years can apply.

Eh? You cracked a joke on the Jo Cox thread very early on that turned out to be very misjudged. Others thought so too. The link showed that the out of money note was indeed a joke so my response to (I think it was Hrolf) the comment was pointing something out. ... the note that was left by Liam Byrne saying that "there's no money" was intended as a joke, not as a serious statement of fact. The joke being a reiteration of the 1965 note left by the Tory Chancellor Reginald Maudling for his successor Jim Callaghan that said "good luck old cock, sorry to leave it in a mess".

That vote was an entirely different kettle of fish as we voted to be a member of a common market place, NOT a European Super State run by Germany and France being told what to do so think clearly before you post!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |
