Newsnight tonight also had an interview with Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury. He was giving a lecture in London tonight about being British, but they also talked about Brexit, referendums and Universal Credit. He didn't say anything that I had not already thought for the most part, but he puts it in such a reasoned and sensible way. The Man is a real Prophet.

What conspiratorial, evidence free bollocks you whiney little bitch.
It’s against everyone’s interests to leave the EU but we seem to be going ahead with that.
Other than the right wing bloke from The Press, a reasoned debate about the left/right thugs. Probably just for a few days, but an unholy alliance of intelligent people like Daniel Finkenstein, Owen Jones and others. Take out the rhetoric, media stirring and the hateful elements on boths sides, and we could have decent, polite debate in this country.
That extends to non-Brexit issues too. Shame about the excellent work on the housing shortage today, produced by Ed Milliband and others. They made it apolitical as much as one could, for example pointing out that this this crisis was caused by all parties over the last 20 years. But then a left wing councils spokesperson on 5live rejected the notion that nimby councils and residents have aided this crisis, simply saying that not enough gov’t cash. I know through experience that Labour and Tory councils fight most developments tooth and nail regardless of the number of the affordables, because people don’t want new homes next to them. Immoral and selfish.

After the horse has bolted, the Met will now have find an excuse to arrest this tiny gang the next time they harass someone on College Green. Then it will all die down.
But it won’t deal with the wider problem of many intolerant, thuggish groupings like this is real world and on the internet, left and right. Intimidating opponents.

Well said young man, couldn't have put it better.

Hold on a minute ..... what was it you posted on another thread when someone suggested just crossing the street to avoid a confrontation ? Ah yes, victim blaming. Incredible hypocracy from you there TB. The simple fact of the matter is that Soubry didn't deserve the abuse she got BUT neither did JRM or his children. Farage didn't deserve the abuse he got out on the election trail (there was even an NSC poster who revelled in having an avatar of Farage and his near death experience). I haven't noticed you condemn the abuse of leave politicians.

an apostrophe would indicate ownership as in " the mp's ********" , the comma indicates absolutely nothing.

on a side note ....the vote was 51.8 % leave 48.2% remain .......i think that is an outstandingly close call and indicates the general health and ability for robust debate in the British political climate .
37% of the British people voted to Leave in June 2016 (many of them on the basis of lies, and illegal spending by the Leave campaign).
It is you Brextremists - or FuQuitters - who have a weird understanding of democracy.
And because actual turnout was 72%, that actually means that 37% of all eligible voters in Britain actually voted Leave, and 35% voted Remain, with 28% abstaining.

I believe with all the shit that’s going on, the man on the street (or woman) and not the thinking types on NSC, if there was a second referendum the majority to leave would be bigger!
The simple truth is now people, and probably not just leave voters no longer trust politicians to carry out their will.
Clearly politicians have always lied to suit their needs, but I think your average Joe has probably now had enough!

28 % not bothering to vote you mean .....i think 72 % of the population actually getting off their arses to vote is an outstanding effort......

i think the internet has allowed those with an interest to get information that was not possible 20 years ago .........this SHOULD result in politicians finding it a lot harder to get away with the lies and misinformation of the past.......all that needs to happen now is total clarity on what the ACTUAL intentions of the establishment are regarding this ridiculous immigration situation with thousands of Brits living on the poverty line whilst foreign refugees seem to be kept in the lap of luxury at the tax payers expense.
Any evidence or actual examples, or are you just repeating the crap published daily in lying Right-wing rags like The Sun and the Express.
Blaming poverty on immigrants is always the Right's tactic to promote divide-and-rule among the population, and divert attention from the fact that many employers and companies paying poverty wages pay their CEOs and shareholders £millions each year.
Looks like you've fallen for this age-old trick hook, line and sinker.
Blame crap wages on bosses, not the immigrants.

Yes it was a fantastic turn out, but sadly it probably won’t be repeated in a General Election as there is a lack of trust that the individual vote counts for anything now...

Well that was a quick bit of negotiation and writing of contracts. It was only 9 working days ago that you told us that you had no worries about your $1M pa worth of imports with no mention of re-sourcing them. Lucky no-one takes Xmas off in your industry
(Didn't bother reading the rest but I'm guessing it's more 'they need us more than we need them' stuff)
