New followers, If I haven't followed back it'll probably be for one of these reasons;
1. I haven't got around to it yet.
2. You haven't posted much or at all so I can't see what you're like yet.
3. We're not really on the same wavelength or our interests differ.

Matthew Goodwin objects to prosecuting this: ‘I think it’s time for the British to gang together, hit the streets and start the slaughter. Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MPs’ houses and Parliament, we need to take over by FORCE.’

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

‘Simon Being Taken out to Sea for the First Time since His Father Drowned’, Skinningrove, North Yorkshire in 1983 by Chris Killip. It became a weekly ritual for him, done to prevent him becoming afraid of the sea as that is where the community earned their living.

Eddie usually learns as he goes along, needs a bit extra learning at the minute, mind. The recruitment also (at the minute) is looking at its worst since the new regime took over and was an area we did well in up till now.
