Lost my only sibling over 20 years ago. I don’t think I have recovered properly from that. I still have both parents but I know it is now a matter of time; it doesn’t help when one of them insists on riding motorcycles. mellow.gif

Enjoy them while you have them, you don't realise how much you should have said to them untill it's too late. I know that to some people they're just a dribbly embarrassment that smells of pee and germolene but spend time with them, talk to them, and remember that once you lose them you can't ever tell them how much you love them. And show them some respect, they deserve it.

Total agreement. Always regretted not asking my grandfather more about his early life, ( late 19th century). Never object to caring for their needs in old age as they cared for you when you were a baby. A bum needs cleaning whether they are capable or not so do not shy away from the task in hand.
My sympathies to all on here who have lost someone, but reflect on their lives not their death.

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.

The issue is that May should have reached out earlier to the other side.

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.

Over 17 million people won't bother engaging with democracy again. Don't personally think it's something to laugh about. Don't come crying on this forum when the far right inevitably (and it will be foul and disgusting) start to reap the seeds that these idiots have sown. These clowns are about to start a crisis.

There’s a lot like that who just assumed Remain was a foregone conclusion. That’s why Leave are against a second vote because it’ll be a resounding vote for Remain this time.

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.

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.

Err, the CPS successfully prosecuted more than 15,000 social media hate crime incidents in 2015-16.

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. 🤣🤣

What I'd anticipate we'll do in that situation is withdraw Article 50. That way we don't need a unanimous agreement. Parliament won't see us crash out without a deal. Have you learned nothing?

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.

Took me, what? 45 seconds to come up with this!

"According to the CPS the policy statements have been updated to take into account the mounting number of cases sparked by abuse on social media and covers all the different strand of hate crime, including religious and racist, disability, homophobic, biphobic and transphobic.

They added that between 2015-16, prosecutors completed 15,442 hate crime cases - the highest number ever recorded."

I clicked it, and I read it. It quite clearly states there were 15,000 prosecutions for hate crimes. It is important that if there is a law that is broken a procedure of prosecution should always be the goal.

It might not always seem to be in our interest but presumably someone has considered it to be in the interest of the public at large. So that's hate crimes, if you're going to cite something as a fact be expected to back it up. That's not doing our work for us, that's called creating a sensible objection. You can say anything without proof, and it's harder to not find something to prove that something didn't happen.
