Current Affairs

[Mervyn and Trish]

I see we may be keeping to the European Court of Justice. Dumping that was one of the reasons I voted to leave.

I watched the PM's interview on BBC1 tonight. She seemed clear that we wouldn't be keeping it as she recognised that was a key issue for many.

I heard water can be turned into wine. Can someone tell me how, only my wine rack is getting low on stock

It's dead easy, mate, I've done it many times. All you need is some grape concentrate, sugar and yeast, a demijohn and airlock, and you'll have six bottles of slurpy juice in about a year's time

Don't encourage him Shinny.....considering the problems Stephen has had the past twelve months the last thing he needs is Brewers Droop

[Silver_Shiney]

Happy to oblige, Wolfie, but on a point of order, I don't get my information from Google but from a website written by PhD holders who prefer facts to supposition.

I see we may be keeping to the European Court of Justice. Dumping that was one of the reasons I voted to leave.

Still a website and not your personal opinion which would carry much more weight. than a copy and paste.

My personal opinion isn't as important as facts and evidence, which are vastly preferable to assumption and conjecture.

But that's only my opinion

Thank goodness for that. Perhaps I misread the article on the BBC website this morning?

On the other hand, it might give him the boost he needs?

But surely facts and evidence are potentially just the biased beliefs of whoever created and wrote them.
As an analogy I would suggest the forecasts issued by the remain camp, and to a lesser extent the Brexit camp as well, were the well founded beliefs of those who made them, but since they were either for one side or the other, their interpretation was totally influenced by their beliefs. Ergo not really worth the paper, or Google gigabytes, they were written on.
Much safer to stick to reading fiction, you know where you stand with that, its all make believe.

[Silver_Shiney]

You're quite right, John, it's only my biased opinion that says 2+2=4...

[wolfie]

Sometimes, 2+2 does not = 4. Google it.

[Jack Staff]

Agreed Wolfie. Debate is running slightly off topic! Can we get back to arguing with Jack about Brexit!

I would have thought that today of all days, the high water mark of Brexit, you guys would be celebrating.
Still, lots of events to come.

More that we're bemoaning that it's taken so long, and that there are still many people who reject due democratic process

Too late, and I don't even need the brewer

My wine cellar is also a bit depleted, in the absence of divine intervention I will have to seek out replacements from Tesco.

I believe they deliver to connoisseurs....

[Silver_Shiney]

While you're paying, John, get us a couple of crates of Merlot please, there's a good chap

[qbman1]

Cases, please, cases. Brown Ale comes in crates !

Merlot (spit)......Shiraz dear chap

[qbman1]

Syrah to you

Too true. If Theresa May had used due democratic process, rather than pretending to be some kind of dictator, she would not have had to fight two court cases only to go through Parliament anyway.

[Onelife]

'My pitch is very simple, I'm Theresa May and I think I'm the best person to be Prime Minister'

Theresa May.

I agree with her.

We are where we are and it's going to take a strong leader to see us through what lies ahead...best give our country a chance and stop knocking what was democratically voted for.

Anyone got an opinion about faith schools....Oops!

[oldbluefox]

I'm not a great fan of any particular political party but I am pleased to see Theresa May standing up to the bully boys (and girls). Unlike Cameron who backed off at every opportunity whenever he was challenged. I was sorry she did not back Hammond over the National Insurance issue; she rather hung him out to dry when she should have been backing him but so far she has stood firm against those who would disrupt the Brexit process. Strength of character is what is needed over the coming months.
Take a look at the alternatives and we are in a mess - Corbyn, Clegg/Farron, Sturgeon/Salmond & Co. I see Gina Miller is still banging on and preparing her next visit to the High Court. I wonder who is funding her crusade to delay the process?

Anyone got a cross and a clove of garlic to quieten Onelife down? I presume his nags were unplaced at Cheltenham!!

[Silver_Shiney]

I know what you are digging at, Jack, but I hope you realise that I was referring to those who will not accept the result of the referendum

Remainer Theresa is looking out for herself first, then party. The country and 'the people' are not high on her priority list.

Take a look at the alternatives and we are in a mess - Corbyn, Clegg/Farron, Sturgeon/Salmond & Co.

Most of them are far better politicians (ignoring policies) than the current Tory tribe.

Crowd funded by the British public, so people like me. It's not about delay, it's about doing it according to the law of this country. Of course, if Theresa May had followed due democratic process then the government costs would not have had to have been born by the public purse.

[Silver_Shiney]

My understanding is that the country was asked to vote in a referendum as to whether or not we stayed in a corrupt political union. Having given that decision, it is then up to the government to carry out the wishes of the majority. That is all the mandate that is needed.

I take my hat off to the Prime Minister who is (albeit slowly) carrying out those wishes, even though she did not agree with them.

Hi foxy....l had the misfortune to break down just before Cheltenham (Broken ankle) which on reflection saved a lot of the house keeping money. I had stashed away a couple of hundred for keefy's hot tips but as the job of placing my bets fell on the wife l decided smaller wagers would be less painful on my ankle..squeak! squeak!

Anyhow's....The moral of this story is that l can now afford a steak to go with that clove of garlic you mentioned
