Regardless of your political colours..............I have gone from being a supporter to viewing the guy as a loose cannon that needs to go as quickly as expediency will allow.He is making Trump look like a genious in political terms.

Had 4 meetings this morning and trust me,if he is not stopped very soon the damage to the UK will be felt for decades to come,carnage is how some described the present situation as not a single Country in the World has any trust as long as he is at the helm.

NHS I'm afraid is 'weaponised' rhetoric, its a clarion call that happens to have been stolen when it suits them.
Our roads are also funded by the EU, as was the money they gave to raise living standards of the poor which the tories handed back unspent.

What the EU do best is bring collective rules which forces out tax evasion, the tory funders dont much like that sort of thing.

Clueless and infantile comment, its that kind of thinking that youre somehow superior in thought to those who actually voted to leave.
Noone wants to be or surely really associates themselves with being European in this country, theyre just people who are scared of the unknown, people scared to take a risk and build, small narrow minded thinking people, who I would bet in the main are looking out for themselves rather than the population as a whole and the possibilities we can take

And just as in the 80s tradesmen and van drivers sold souls to save a few quid on their tax return, so too were brexiteers conned into voting for something promised but couldn't be delivered

Even at £200m per week (I've never believe what was on that bus) to The EU that's still a colossal amount, and most of it going to fund the decrepit economies of minnow member states we've not heard about not so long ago. But why though? Why do we annually contribute so much more than we get back whilst the majority get back multiples of what they contribute? It's so unjust.

And, with many new minnow members our present contribution will probably remain for quite some time yet probably more if the mooted EU army is under serious consideration for the near future.

King George II was the last British monarch to appear on a battlefield (c1740) but it was a bit of a limited show. The lat one who was a proper general was William III,winner at the Battle of the Boyne but also others against France on the continent.

You must mean Churchill Duke of Marlborough SS, cos Winston didn't do any fighting he was a scribe who got caught out in South Africa and had to be resued....then became Admiral of the Fleet in WW1 and PM in WW2

I think you'll find he did.

In the autumn of 1895, he and Reginald Barnes traveled to Cuba to observe its war of independence; they joined Spanish troops attempting to suppress independence fighters and were caught up in several skirmishes.

In India Churchill decided to join Bindon Blood's Malakand Field Force in its campaign against Mohmand rebels in the Swat Valley of Northwest India.[56] Blood agreed on the condition that Churchill be assigned as a journalist; to ensure this, he gained accreditation from The Pioneer and The Daily Telegraph, for whom he wrote regular updates.[57] In letters to family, he described how both sides in the conflict slaughtered each other's wounded, although he omitted any reference to such actions by British troops in his published reports.[58] He remained with the British troops for six weeks before returning to Bangalore in October 1897

In 1898 Arriving in Egypt, he joined the 21st Lancers at Cairo before they headed south along the River Nile to take part in the Battle of Omdurman against the army of Sudanese leader Abdallahi ibn Muhammad. He took part in the Lancers Cavalry Charge.

Action at Omdurman by the 21st Lancers. In 1898 the regiment served in Sudan during the Mahdist War, as the only British cavalry unit involved. It was there that the full regiment charged with lances in the classic cavalry style during the Battle of Omdurman in September 1898. Of less than 400 men involved in the charge 70 were killed and wounded[3] and the regiment won three Victoria Crosses. These three were Private Thomas Byrne,[4] Lieutenant Raymond de Montmorency[4] and Captain Paul Kenna.[4] This spectacular encounter earned considerable public attention and praise for the regiment, though it was also criticized as a costly and unnecessary anachronism - since the 2,000 Dervish spearmen dispersed by the 21st Lancers could have been destroyed by rifle fire with few if any British losses.[3] Winston Churchill (then an officer of the 4th Hussars), rode with the unit.[5]

"Omdurman" was the regiment's only battle honour, giving rise to the satirical regimental motto of "thou shalt not kill."[6] That same year, the regiment was given the title 21st (Empress of India's) Lancers, taking the name from Queen Victoria who was the Empress of India.[1]

I'm not sure the result of the vote would have been what it was if the process had been outlined properly, the timeline explained and the resulting focus on all things Brexit to achieve a deal at the expense of running the country for 3 years

it was a poorly planned & rushed vote probably because Cameron is a pig (!) ignorant moron, who totally misread the mood of the people and the amount of damage the austerity measures were having on ordinary folk, along with the mis-represented cr@p about having control of our borders

it was nearly as stupid a decision to the one May took in chucking her majority up the wall by calling an election,pretty much consigning the nation to an unsortable mess

the best part of this is that those same folk can now see what an absolute shambles of a party labour are too (and pretty much all mps no matter who they represent), so we all know  whoever wins the next election it's all still a crock of sh1t and no matter whether we are in or out of the EU, not much will change in the long run

a house full of whankers squabbling over their own personal agendas, the whole lot need clearing out; it does make you wonder if it's worth starting a guillotine business?
