Personally, I no longer wish to live in the UK, I'm that sick of their shit, and was really disappointed that the first referendum voted No. I really hope we have another one and people in Scotland see that the choice is between the economic setbacks and uncertainty of independence or the certainty of living in a delusional kleptocracy on its way back to the 1920s or before.]]> Another election: am I the first to mention it https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257273#Comment_257273 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257273#Comment_257273 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 23:04:52 +0100 SteamyTea

PMTM has called everyone's bluff and will have a thumping great majority - and a mandate for BREXIT that can't be argued with

She will also put the least funny Krankie back in her box for a good wee while and will annihilate Comrade Corbyn and the Abbotasaurus

She's played a blinder - I'm tempted to buy her a new handbag

- so the referendum apparently wasn't that after all? Or its authority has quickly evaporated with the short passage of time, second thoughts etc?

Reminds me of Cameron's intention to 'settle inter-Tory Brexit conflict once and for all' - can of worms. This could be the same - far from foregone conclusion - the one thing that could destroy Tory hegemony right now.

The danger is that no one will have the courage to defy the referendum vote, step forward and throughly re-open the Brexit question. Failing that, it'll be the usual dreary thing revolving around NHS, penny on income tax etc, not touching Brexit, but hey presto it's a Brexit mandate!]]> Another election: am I the first to mention it https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257291#Comment_257291 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257291#Comment_257291 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 11:18:03 +0100 Gotanewlife

You going to mention the 77th line :rasta:

There was a bit on the radio today about serial and parallel negotiations.
It seems that Britain wants parallel i.e. discussing all aspects of leaving at the same time, the EU will only discuss one issue at a time. The first thing they want sorted out is how much it will cost us in cash to leave.
I am led to believe this is normal practice in a divorce (never having been married I have no personal experience).]]> Another election: am I the first to mention it https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257324#Comment_257324 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257324#Comment_257324 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 21:37:33 +0100 fostertom Another election: am I the first to mention it https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257327#Comment_257327 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257327#Comment_257327 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 22:05:41 +0100 Ed Davies Posted By: owlmanEd; I don't think EU citizens have been treated badly,Refusing permanent leave to remain to people who would have got it as a matter of course prior to the referendum (but had never thought it was necessary to apply for) isn't treating them badly?]]> Another election: am I the first to mention it https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257329#Comment_257329 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15054&Focus=257329#Comment_257329 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 22:31:54 +0100 Gotanewlife

No, but is this really the fault of the vote to leave the EU, or is it more the fault of a bureaucracy gone mad?]]>
