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. |

The problem seems to me, that both sides are increasingly driven by their ideological points, rather than dealing with the pragmatic reality that disentanglement from the EU won't be easy (or impossible) and will have consequences (and benefits) some of which won't be predictable or even knowable in the short or medium term. Personally, it looks more like two different groups of people arguing over what type of chair looks better on the deck of the Titanic.

IDS was on the news today giving forth about the resignation at length he actually finished with 'of course it depends on how the civil service is to work in future.' Must be a brutal job being a brexit negotiator.

We need to sack the men who allowed the fire to slowly burn under the passengers feet. The fire in this metaphor being the self serving drive toward globalisation and the disastrous effects of mass migration that comes with it. Hopefully it won't come too late this time.

Hoof, can you accept that not everyone is motivated by their own agenda? Someone can think that Brexit is not a great idea, that doesn't make them some kind of pariah. Especially one who has spent time in the Brussels machinery and likely know how complicated the whole thing is going to be.

Just heard that Le Pen aren't going to push for an EU exit but still want to be able to control borders. Could it be that a right-wing anti establishment backlash leading to the break up of the EU is pie in the sky wishful thinking? Reckon what's happening in th UK regarding an EU exit may be putting others with the same ideas off.
