QUOTE (newres @ Mar 12 2019, 09:57 PM) Along with I’d estimate 65% of the population. 🤣🤣 The problem is even if you are correct, which you are not, the 35% you talk about are quite fanatical, well organised and have a lot of wealth. Let's face the music and dance.

Of which roughly 30% will suddenly realise that actually going out to vote when they could be on a sofa watching home and away is a non starter. If they offered a free beard trimmer with every vote at least the Hipsters would turn out.

The police force are too busy trying to prosecute people being nasty to one another on social media. Also.. are you for the "French" police way of dealing with protesters?

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Mar 12 2019, 08:57 PM) From the BBC website,
"Laura Borland, 35, is a Remainer living in Sunderland who didn’t vote in the referendum
She says: “I can’t believe they’ve not come to some sort of deal so close to 29 March.
"I almost feel like we should have another election, but I wouldn’t know who to vote for.
"We should sack the lot of them.”
So this 'remainer' didn't bother to vote last time, and now she thinks we should have an election, which presumably she won't bother to vote in. I despair, I really do. Like the man said, " If voting solved anything they wouldn't let us do it", and by the same token if we don't engage with the democratic procedure then we are hardly in a position to criticise those who do. And these are the people who will be contributing to "our brave new world". We are all doomed.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Mar 12 2019, 07:28 PM) There it is then, extension to article 50, second referendum, remain in EU. Why? Why did the politicians not simply say two years ago that they wouldn't honour the result and tell Junker were staying. Would have saved all this wasted time and money. I see my Chrystal ball is in perfect working order, again.

Err, the CPS successfully prosecuted more than 15,000 social media hate crime incidents in 2015-16. Little tip, never ask a question if you don't already know the answer to.

Little tip, never ask a question if you don't already know the answer to. I couldn't even be bothered to answer. And that was 2015 to 16. Wait till the latest figures are released...

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Mar 13 2019, 10:11 PM) I forsee a lot of social unrest over this, the whole thing has been badly managed and will cast a scar over people's trust of parliament for decades to come. I foresee the EU telling us to F off with the extension (all 27 would have to agree it) and we leave on 29 March. At least everyone can blame the EU then. 🤣🤣

Parliament won't see us crash out without a deal. Have you learned nothing?

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 14 2019, 08:46 AM) Have you got a link? Here's one from the other day. 16 year old saddo in bedroom is nasty to multi millionaire footballer. Break the doors down. Dawn raid! ...please... yes this 16 year old is most likely a white extremist but really? Police? Arrests? Anyway as he is 16 surely he is a child (see ISIS brides) and didn't know what he was doing? Most probably "radicalised" on line. Needs help. A house and lots of benefits. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47552029
