I do have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about Roundup.It has uses in gardens,but I don't think it should be used as widely as it is in agriculture.There are health concerns,particularly in places where weeds seem to build up an immunity to it and farmers just use ever larger amounts.(Please excuse the normality of this post).

If you actually read something for a change,you would see that I dislike them for approving it's use.The commendable bit was naming a French street after Jo Cox
If you read something for a change you'll see that the UK supported it so how can the EU's position be something you dislike?

Agree the referendum result cannot be ignored, was just kicking back on it being legally binding.
Thatcher took us from the abyss the last hard left Labour government left us in (rubbish in the streets, cap in hand to the IMF for loans) to something far better. I don’t like her but recognise she is what the country desperately needed. We will go through another transformation in the coming say 10 years if we leave, we will have to. Probably a Labour government next as a kick back for this Tory mess but they will mess up after one or two parliaments and then we will see another hard right government and all that that entails. It won’t be all lovely workers rights in a post Brexit world.

You mean when we leave not if we leave obviously, considering the referendum result cannot be ignored.

“Britain to be colder than Iceland as temperatures plummet to minus 10C”. Just a coincidence or more to it 
Hmmm....69% of Brits happy to be living in the EU. Some mistake, Shirley?

Perhaps the British Euro rep is someone that I loathe.Or maybe I don't blindly agree with every decision taken by our rulers.Do you?

Results of a poll taken in the European Parliament?

Haven't you realised yet that all governments f*ck it up eventually? Well, all governments since the war anyway, apart maybe from Attlee. McMillan and Wilson both did OK for a bit, as did Blair before he monumentally cocked up over Iraq. Think back - Cameron thought he was doing so great he couldn't lose, didn't he? - leaving 17M of us rejoicing that he judged public opinion so badly!

No, I think you'll find that those are your remainer chums - only 16M of them. Slightly fewer than those of us doing thisAnd probably a few million of them now doing this
!Maybe you wouldn't have opened yourself up for ridicule if you had chosen a vote that the UK actually disagreed with.
Probably about right bearing in mind how many Brits voted out.

No. After all, it is pretty much in line with the EU's own factsheet on 'Transparency in EU trade negotiations'.
“A certain level of confidentiality is necessary to protect EU interests and to keep chances for a satisfactory outcome high. When entering into a game, no-one starts by revealing his entire strategy to his counterpart from the outset: this is also the case for the EU.”
