Was agreeing with you Basil. Like many others I see the UK govt as dominated by England.

Which is not unfair, given the disparity of the populations of the constituent countries.

Basil - what do think about Corbyn's reported view the amendment seeking a second referendum was premature?

A quick Google reveals that England has 85% of the electorate.

And the fact they don’t vote Tory in Scotland, Wales and NI (well, actually, they vote ultra-Tory-meets-UKIP with a side order of religious bigotry in NI...)

DUPs electoral popularity has plummeted in NI.

DUPs electoral popularity has plummeted in NI.

And yet nobody else from NI has a seat other than one independent. Sinn Fein own seven but don’t take them up, the moderate unionist and non-sectarian parties a big fat f*ck all. Will that change next time? No idea... but if people don’t want these idiots to speak for NI, they need to actually go out and vote for someone else.

For once, he might be right, although it needs to be said that he is as fond of a second referendum as Superman is of Kryptonite.

Just did a members search for "vilkrang" - "Sorry, but no such poster exists".

Looks like our old mate vilky has had enough and has had his account removed. That's very sad.

On the other hand, whitburn still exists.
