Nothing dishonourable in not being blown about by every little modern wind. Better to have worth, to be an oak of one's own generation.

My father fought at El Alamein and Monte Cassino, he was awarded the MC. He was a proud supporter of the EU, a patriot and hated racism and extreme right wing politics in all its forms.

My uncle was a fighter pilot in WW2. Shot down 3 times in Battle Of Britain. He was so badly hurt he could no longer fly so RAF took him off active pilot’s duty and transferred to Bomber Command. As rear gunner ‘tail-end Charlie’ he was killed over Germany. He didn’t die for you.

Very sad. The South coast needs real jobs. Not just wealthy weekenders.
Sadly I can confirm the closure of the Barden site in Plymouth announced this morning. As we so often celebrate great economic news in our City, so we must acknowlege the terrible shocks like this one, of an int'l company leaving Plymouth citing BREXIT plymouthherald.co.uk/news/bu…

As the young officer shouted 'Over the top!' and blew his whistle, knowing that many of his men would not return, he was sure that their deaths would not be in vain. Their future descendants would be free to do Nazi salutes and shout at our allies and brown people with impunity.

This is a very funny and thought provoking book by fellow Kidderminster raised child @mrjamesob. May the spirit of the Horsefair remain in him.

Caroline Lucas - The idea the Labour Party wouldn't go back & just check the will of the people before committing economic self harm on the country is extraordinary. #peoplesvote #C4Brexit #FBPE

Leave = climate change denier = Asteroid mining = tinfoil hat wearer
Replying to @ClimateDepot
In geo-historical terms we currently have exceptionally low atmospheric CO2, and an unusually warm climate. Most of the last two million years has been ice age. We should be damned glad we’re living in an Interglacial period (though on previous form it should end soon).

Apparently Banks has asked Oakwell Capital to sell his stake in the Isle of Man bank. NB: Banks asked Oakwell Capital to organise a deal consolidating Russian gold mines after his meeting with Russian Oligarch Siman Povarenkin in the Russian Embassy as his Brexit campaign began
Scoop: Arron Banks has approached potential buyers in an attempt to sell his £4m stake in the Isle of Man’s largest bank thetimes.co.uk/article/ac9b6…

Today we burn Guy Fawkes in effigy for a crime he didn’t actually manage to pull off 400 years ago. Just in case anyone in the upper echelons of politics were deluding themselves that the British people are a forgiving bunch who move on quickly.

In fact the majority of polls in the month before the referendum gave the win to Leave. They were all marginal. Exactly what happened.

Stuart(farmer) - Migrant labour is absolutely critical to the farming sector but it hasn't been valued because of the hostile language used by a minority of people... fresh fruit & veg is being left unpicked because of that hostile environment. #PeoplesVote #C4Brexit #FBPE

C4 poll suggests that North-East was 58% Brexit in 2016 but is 50% now - one of the country’s biggest swings away from leaving – at Croft-on-Tees, England

What is in question is your judgement. Aaron Banks was a character referee supporting convicted sexual predators of children. His support for this #GroomingGang would disgust any right thinking person. #LeaveFail #PeoplesVote
