    [Politics] Brexit

    You could I suppose stop giving him due cause. Your complaint is a bit like Harold Shipman complaining that the police keep bothering him. ("Remainer compares Brexiter to mass murderer shock")

    [Politics] Brexit

    I can understand Gina Miller irritating Brexiters but the level of vitriol is surprising. All she did was bring to the British courts' attention her belief that our government was breaking the law. The judiciary confirmed that she was correct. You say that she did this only to further her own...

    Unfortunately, Brexit will be far from wreckless.

    Not me. And I am sure your reference to religious purposes covers kosher as well as much halal. There used to be a little Asian butcher shop in Lewisham that proudly advertised 'not pre-stunned'. Medieval. To my joy it went bust.

    [Politics] Brexit

    Excellent. Here you are at last. What's amusing is that the Brexiteers' great hero was self-defining as an extremist undemocratic weasel loon (according to the creed of St Pasta and his disciples). But I would have had no problems with Farage if he'd carried on fighting to leave the EU...

    [Brighton] Chinook Over Portslade Just Now

    They thwackthwack along the north sides of the Downs every two or three weeks - last week I reckon I was actually above one as I stood on Wolstonbury Hill.

    [Politics] Brexit

    Farage said it wouldn't, just before the vote. They would push for another referendum. May I offer congratulations to all those who tried to debate with Pastafarian over the past couple of days. The patience of angels. It is actually impossible to debate with someone who isn't interested in...

    [Politics] Brexit

    There is no such thing as the world's greatest nation, and nor need there be. I am happy to have a quiet affection for my own country and respect for many others. That's enough for me. I would no more want to tell Frenchman that the UK is better than France than I would want to go through life...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Can I help you out here? I don't think that Britain is the world's greatest nation. In the same way that I don't think that the Albion is the world's greatest football club. It's just that the pair of them are the ones for me. I carried on loving the Albion even when Greg Stanley and Bill...

    [Politics] Brexit

    It was fear, what with the marches attracting numbers the Brexiteers could only dream of while the polls from 2017 on were consistently showing that most Britons didn't want to leave the EU anyway... fear that people were starting to see through the tawdry duo who ran the Leave campaign (and who...

    I'm not sure Palacefinder said they did. Does your reference to 'going all animal rights' suggest that you're not too concerned about such things? I'm worried about your dogs.

    All right, I'll try again. Why are you waffling on about Christians in Walmart?

    [Politics] Tories vote to reduce food standards

    Right. So you have to buy a heap of other stuff if you just want a cheap chicken. Look, I 'm really not knocking this shop.. Our village has a similar one. I'm just querying Westdene's assertion that poor people who feel forced to buy cheap cuts in a discount supermarket are by definition stupid.

    [Politics] Tories vote to reduce food standards

    To which I would add that we buy most meat in independent butchers too. Either that or people like Garlic Wood. My objection was to Westdene's suggestion that the only reason for people buying meat in eg Lidl was because they were stupid. If your independent butcher can sell a chicken for a bit...

    Sounds a great shop. Can you tell me if they do chickens for less than, say £3.50? Westdene seems to have disappeared, having implied they do.

    Wowwowwow. That really IS impressive. You've been to America more than once. What's the least favourite place you've been to? Hard to beat is Odessa, Texas. It's like Peacehaven without the sea. Lubbock up the road has its high spots though, esp if you go on a Saturday. That'll be the Day. I'm...

    Fine, you're the sort of person who thinks that animal welfare issue should be decided by the market and what people are prepared to pay. Make Britain Great Again. Psst... Wanna cheap puppy? Raised in squalor but, hey, what do you expect for fifty notes? Please tell me you're on a wind-up...
